WILDCAT FINDS OIL
SHOW IN jim HOGG

LAREDO. Tex, April 10.-K. and
s. Corporation have found the trend
Of the oil from the Henne, Winch
and Fariss field to the northeast
across the HOlbein ranch il oil sands
can be judged by a core taken from
the No. ~ well on block 40 Of survey
II. The sand was cored at 2136 feet
and it was well saturated with oil.
The sand was Of q coarse grain nearly
like brown sugar. Casing has been
set and the well will be drilled and
bailed the early part Of the coming
week.
The well is in the neighbOrhood Of
number Of big gassers drilled by
KitseIman and st. Adams in the past
few months in their hunt for oil.
A good core was also taken from
the No. ] VI. T.. Weber at depth Of
212G feet on block ] Of section 10 OF
HOlbein ranch. Casing has been set
and the well will be bailed some time
next week, according TO information
obtained.
The No. 2S well on block "A Of sec
ton II has skidded the derrick on
account Of losing the first hole and
is drilling tours at a depth Of around
900 feet Friday.
The No. 20 we'll on block q Of sec
ton II was 1900 feet deep and casing
will be ready to set by the end Of the

Frank Campbell, Laredo geolosist,
who located discovery well Of the

the locations for these wells and be is
particularly certain that the No. q

MAKE BIG DEAL.
This well originally came in as a
gusher making several thousand bar,
rels of oil. Work is to be started on
No. lob of the same company, re-
placement well of the No. 10, which
was abandoned at 26S0 feet when it
developed water trouble in an oil and
gas formation.
A deal, said to have involved many
thousand dollars, was made when
Judge Tom Neal and associates plr-
chased the interests of o. l.. and J.
j.. Layne in the Aviator Star Oil
Company, operating in this district
This deal affects 100 acres of oil land
to the southwest of the Edgington
field on the Albercas Grant Of Webb
county, where the company has just
completed a producing oil well. Fol-
lowing this deal, Judge Neal and bis
associates made another deal with j.
W. Staley, of Wichita Falls, TO de-

WILDCATS ACTIVE.

Special interest is being given to
wildcatting in the Coastal country this
spring and numerous tests are in
progress of drilling now. Wharton
county is leading, since many of the
tests at Boiling are classed as being in
wildcat territory.
This week there were "a wells drill
ing at Boiling. several of which are
just about ready to be completed,
Good showings of oil were reported
from a few Of these tests. Besides
the outfits actually in operation,
about a dozen others have derricks
up and are being rugged. In addition
there are n number of locations staked
on which wells will probably be start.
cd within a short time.
Production at Boiling was off near
ly 1000 barrels this week. The area
generally is not showing up as well
as has been expected and practically
all the competitions that have turned
out producers have been disappoint-
ing. Production estimates on the field
are much lower now than they were
six weeks ago.

ond well, No. 2 on the same lease,
which is flowing 230 barrels an hour
from sand topped at 4150 feet and
penetrated but six feet and is esti-
mated for 5000 barrels or better. The
second well is a location south of No.
l which is doing 1000 barrels. The
Amerada lease is on the east and
southeast edge of the pool and makes
big play certain in that area. The
deepening of three other wells in the
deep sand brings the daily production
in the field from that formation TO
approximately $4,000 barrels from six
wells. While the Amerada wells are
showing a higher temperature than
usual they are not yet producing any
water to amount TO anything.
OF the other operations, the most
important seemed to be the Reiter-
Foster and Elaine Oil Company
wildcat in Noble County, Okla, eight
miles northwest of Perry, which
showed considerable oil in the hole
from sand at 1873 feet and reports
said the oil was slowly rising. A
test of the oil showed it to be I'M
usually high gravity, ranging from
A to 46 degrees Baume.

present at the test of the Hous.
ton Oil Company's well on the
ID. NJ. O'COnnor ranch near Nc.
Faddin, this county.
SiN-inch casing was set and
cemented in the well at a depth
below 5000 feet following the
striking Of a sand carrying heavy
gas and said to have shown
traces of oil.
Since gassers below 5000 feet
are rare in the coastal fields, il
is expected that oil will accom-.

MORE Big PRODUCERS ARE
COMPLETED In MIRANDA

LAREDO, Tex, April 10. - Big
wells and large lease deals featured
activity in the Miranda district during
the past week. The most important
find of the week was in Kitselman
and st. Adams No. % well on Block
40, Section IL, Holbein ranch, Jim
HOgg county, which blew in for 300O
barrels. This well guaged 115 barrels
the first half hour it was opened. This
well extends the Henne, Winch ana
Farris pool about two miles to the
north. There are few gas wells
between this new gusher and the field.
The well is 2139 feet deep.
The company is preparing to bail
No. 1 Weber and No. 20 Holbein at
about the same depth.
GUSHER IN WEBB.
While Jim Hogg county was getting
this gusher, Crown Central-Keene No.
1 was being completed in Webb coun-
ty. This well is swabbing 1000 bar
rels a day from LIS feet. The cas-
ing is set at 1712 feet. 1t is on Block

IS OIL TESTS.

Outside Of Wharton county, IS
wells are drilling in the various coun-
ties making up the Coastal country.
but of these no shOwings have been
reported. BrazOria, Fort Bend and
MatagOrda counties each have several
important wells drilling.
Sixteen competitions were shown
in the old fields during the week.
Goose Creek led in the number OF
wells brought in, but Orange had the
highest initial production. At Goose
Creek the Gulf Production company
got 40 barrel pumper in its Wright
No. ., at 1915 feet. Humble Oil and
Refining cOmpany's Gaillard PENN
sula % made the same amount Of
oil, on the beam, from $500 feet. On
its Beaumont Petroleum company
lease, the Gulf also completed State
u, for 80 barrels. at $500 feet. La
Rue Oil company abandoned its Dan
nebaum !, at 1860 feet.
At Orange, the Gulf Production
company also completed its Chesson 3
"A" and got a 1860 barrel producer
from 1928 feet. In the same field, the
Texhoma Oil company abandoned it's
Chesson Z, and also Chesson Il. as
failures, at 1850 and 47jO feet re.

TULSA, Okla, April 10.-With one
of the largest wells in the history of
Oklahoma flowing 10000 barrels of
high gravity oil and another we'll in
the deep WcwOka sand flowing 1000
barrels, the Oklahoma field took a big
jump in production the past week and
in spite of decline in other fields,
registered a gain of 1900 barrels over
the daily average for the previous
week.
The Sinclair Oil and Gas Company
No. % Hartley on the north end Of the
CARRIER pool in section 1928 west
was the record-breaking gusher which
started off at the rate of 100 barrels
an hour and held up at this rate for
more than "a hours, actually gauging
26,1S0 barrels for the first 24-hOur
period. The Wilcox sand was penetrat-
cd at 1916 feet TO a total depth of
1910 feet when the big flow broke
loose, first starting at the rate of 500
barrels an hour and gradually increas.
ing until it was making better than
100 barrels an hour. The available
storage soon Overflowed and carthen
dikes were hastily erected to hold the
oil. In spite Of this several thousand
barrels we're lost. The oil tested about
A degrees Baume and brings S2.jS O
barrel at the well.
BIG WELLS.
The big Sinclair gusher offsets the
same cOmpany's No. 80 Walker, which
from a geological standpoint was rated
as good if not better than the 81
Hartley. but on being drilled a few
feet in the sand the latter well showed
about HOO barrels and was then shut
down, to be drilled later.
The Sinclair company has about
dozen locations yet to be drilled in
this area and few Of these are al
ready drilling. The terrific snow and
sleet storm which enyeloped all Of
Oklahoma and Kansas has slowed up
oil operations and it is unlikely that
work could be resumed before the end
Of the week, if at all. With the melt
ing Of the snow. the roads were all in
bad shape and it will probably be the
week beginning April . before field
activity can get back to normal.
ANOTHER GUSHER.
Sharing honors with the Sinclair
CARRIER gusher was the Amerada Pc
troleum Corporation No. l Frederick
in section SIS, a quarter mile east
Of the Magnolia deep sand discovery
at Wewoka, which gagged 1880 bar
rels the third "a hours after origin
ally starting off 125 barrels an hour
and increasing rapidly after deepen
ing. Sand depth was from 413O to
4140 feet. This well was likewise a
high gravity oil, testing 40 degrees.
