LOCATION MADE FOR
TEST IN GUADALUPE

sEGUIN, Tex, April 17.-Loca,
ton has been made by J. NJ. Davis
for an oil test TO be started soon on
the Julius Schultze farm, in western
Guadalupe county.
The location for the Davis well is
in the Vincente Duvsn survey, in the
New Berlin territory, and the de
yelopments in that section Of the
county will be watched with intense
interest, as the geological structures
there are reported as being extremely
favorable for oil production.
Operations are about to begin for
the Payne and Bond test in the same
district, on the same survey as the
Davis test. The test by Payne and
Bond is situated on the II. Rosen.
brock tract Of go acres, 40 feet
from the north line and about the cen.
trail point OF the farm east and west.
The derrick for this test was erected

AUBURN'S EXPORTS
SHOW BIGGEST GAIN
IN FIRMS HISTORY

Export business Of the Auburn An
tomobile Company has been rapidly in.
creasing during the past few years,
and a great many distributors have
been appointed throughout the world.
Shipments to foreign distributors
during the month Of February ex.
ceeded by a large margin any pre-.
vious months export shipment and
represent an increase Of 400 per cent
over the same month last year.
New distributing organizations are
being added daily in the export field
and indications are that the demand
for Auburn cars in foreign countries
during 1926 will exceed that of 1925
by at least 800 per cent.
This growing popularity Of the
Auburn cars abroad is in keeping with
the remarkable sales increase that has
been made in the United States during
the past year and half.

LOUISIANA TESTS.

Ryesds Oil Corporation made a
6O0-barrsl producer in its State BIG,
at Orange, from 1910 feet, and in the
same field the TeIhoma Oil company's
Chessou 10 flowed 700 barrels from
1915 feet.
At Pierce Junction, Taylor No. 0
was completed by the Gulf Production
company for 1900 barrels, from 377J
feet.
In the Louisiana coastal fields
three wells were completed: at Vim
ton Atkins -Eilchelberger Syndicate's
Hohnson 1 made 80 barrels, from
2075 feet.
The Rex Oil eompany's Hunter ]
pumped 40 barrels, at Edgerlyr from
300 feet.
At EEangeline, the Jennings Pc.
troleum company's S. r. 2 was
good for $50 barrels from 1900 feet.
Two wildcat competitions were re-
ported, both Of them failures: In
Chambers county w. o. Moore's

Company properties at the same time
it acquired the California Petroleum
Corporation in that state. The Pu-
laski Oil Company has built up a well
developed chain Of holdings extending
from the principal Oklahoma Kansas
fields to the Texas Panhandle with
about $500 barrels of daily production
from 202 producing wells in old set
tied fields of unusually long life and
with high grade oil.
DEVELOP HOLDINGS.
A large portion of the Pulaski prop
critics were undeveloped but well stu
ated and regarded as having great pos
sibilities especially the Texas fan-
handle holdings. 1t is said that the
Texas Company desired especially to
get possession of the company's Pan
handle acreage and was then offered
a good inducement to purchase the en-
tire holdings.
Tho Wewoka deep sand play in
Seminole county, Oklahoma, near Hol-
denville, begins to loom up as a real
major proposition as additional wells
are brought in with big production
and without showing the water en-
countered in early wells. This area is
a Wilcox sand play similar to the
Tonkawa deep sands and many think
it will be just as long lived. On April
3 the six deep sand producers were
making 27,453 barrels, an average of
better than 1900 barrels to the we'll.
The two wells of the Amerada Petrol
cum Corporation are the largest, max
ing 6722 barrels and 6531 barrels, re,
spectively. The discovery well itself
is making 1875 barrels.

These two wells and the one com
pleted by Yount Lee last fall give
Spindle Top three good producers from
deep sands and give indications that
the old field may have another come
back that will make it have an in
fluence in Gulf Coast production fig
ures again.
Deeper drilling \ included In the
programs Of nearly all companies op-
Grating in old fields Of the coast, and
this spring will probably see every
old field tested 10 depths heretofore
unexplored. 1t is the opinion Of many
oil operators that fully a. much pro-
duction can be recovered by deeper
drilling from these fields as has been
found in the shallower sands. Of
course such drilling Ii expensive and
has not been undertaken extensively
where there have been possibilities
from sands higher up.
Compilations this week induded
wells in nearly all the old fields, with
initial production slightly above the
average.
In addition to Yount Lees two
wells at Spindle Top, the Gulf Pro
duction company brought in its Gladys
