IRRIGATION PROMISED
VAST AREA Of TEXAS

MIRANDA CITY. Tex. April 10.
BaSSett Blakely and associates in
the cattle business of Houston with
property in Duval county east of La
redo known as the ranch of the Duval
Land and Cattle company, have just
discovered something better than oil
for their use and purposes and may
lead TO early agricultural development
of this big tract of land that with ir-
rigatiOn could support thousands Of
people.
Recently a lease was made on the
property by oil men and a well was
drilled by Gordon, Falwell and Dick
son of Houston to n depth of 1902 feet
and abandoned. The well was drilled
under contract by J. D. Clair Smith
of Laredo.
After abandonment and before the
tools were moved off Mr.. Blakely de.
cided TO make test of a water sand
near the surface to determine its quail
ity and volume.
At 30 feet a water sand was picked
up and it proved to be 20 feet in
thickness. The next six feet was
shale and then 80 feet of gravel and
then 100 feet of additional water sand.
This is wonder in this country Of
salt water and semi-drouth conditions,
and biologists advance the theory that
it is probably the bed of the Rio
Grande in the long ago days before the
river turned into its present course
from upheavals and erosion.
Bearing on this theory it is only
recently that state commission cx-
plored the Rio Grande between Laredo
and Eagle Pass to try to learn the
cause of the great loss of water be.
tween these two points and they found
that at one or two points more water
is pouring into the east bank Of the
Rio Grande than comes down through
Laredo.
