MEDINA COUNTY
To Be SCENE
Of HUGE OIL
OPERATIONS
Big Wildcat Play Forecast
as Major Companies
Enter Field.

Medina county, 80 TO 40 miles due
west of San Antonio, just below the !
BALCONIES Escarpment, IS destined foe
a big wildcat play in the coming spring
and summer, with every indication that
one of the next big pools will be de.
ycloped there.
Sporadic validating has been in
progress there for the last four or five
years. Frank Brown, manager of the
Ina Oil Company, which recently sold
most of its acreage to the Magnolia,
discovered oil in the Hondo area two
years ago. Several small wells havs
resulted, all above the gusher horizon
BIG COMPANIES BUY.
None of the tests in Medina county
was below the Edwards. Most of them
were shallow. But within the last six
months, major companies have been
heavy buyers of Medina leases and il
is no secret in oil circles that a series
of tests designed to show the posi-
bilities Of Medina are to be put down
by the big operators.
The Magnolia will test the territory
in the bend Of the Frio river where
Brown got the first real production,
and other companies will drill both
upon and below the Escarpment.
MAP STRUCTURE.
For the last year or longer, geolo-
sists and field men for the major cont
panies have been mapping Medina
structure. 1t is said that several sur
face indications Of structure exist in
the Hondo area and certain areas be-
tween Castroville and Hondo. Oil has
been found in shallow wells over a Pc
riod of years in widely separated spots,
even in water wells.
Medina county, long looked upon as
promising territory, has escaped much
of the wildcat development because big
companies had so much work to do
elsew here, they did not become inter-
ested in Medina beyond holding pro-
lection acreage around the Wildcats
there.
MAJOR FIRMS ENTER FIELD.
Should oil be developed in consider.
able amount, Medina county shortly
would become one Of the richest coun-
ties in South Texas because much Of
the irrigable land of the Medina Irri-
cation Company is in Medina county
also, and combination Of rich agri-
cultural and oil resources would have
an immediate effect on land values
throughout the region.
That the major company biologists
have reported favorably on the county
for exploration is apparent By the en-
! trance Of the big companies in the
/ county at this time. The success Of
the Humble in Duvsl and Kleberg
counties, two of the six new pools dis
covered in South Texas in 1925, has
heartened the wildcatters materially
and added impetus to the campaign
throughout the San Antonio area.

There is always a thousand tears

not even word of regret spoken

UNFORTUNATE DEFENDANT"
Defendants are always called I'M
fortunate, but no one ever calls the
murdered man or woman unfortunate,
and then we wonder why America
is the criminals paradise.
If convictions are secured, a few
sob sisters and long haired men pro-
coed to interfere to secure their free
dom, the public, of course, footing
the bill.
Should these amateur philosophers,
moral uplifters and rescue leaguers
fail in this. they proceed to purchase
pianos, victrolas and moving picture
machines for the entertainment of the
poor, unfortunate convict, who had
only shot down in cold blood. some
defenseless citizen, or maybe as a
masked highwayman attacked some
good woman.
RESULT OF CARELESSNESS.
These misguided uplifters never
give a thought TO the need or the
wants Of the family Of the unfortun-
ate victim, as they are too busy pet
ting and pampering a bunch of Grim
iuals. Thousands of good men who
have violated no law arc hungry, and
millions of orphans need help and as

But he is going slowly and it will

And while he is dying San Antonio
people are dancing merrily to the
strains of his swan song" and "pay-

Such is the opinion of r. S. Atch-
ison, secretary of the San Antonio Mu-
sicians Union. and figures he gives
show that San Antonians are paying
the pipers" dearly.
MAKE $1,000 WEEKLY.
Union orchestras in hotels, theaters,
dance halls and other places are being
paid approximately $4,000 a week.
Figure for yourself how much they are
paid in years run.
This is just one jazz item San An
tonic people are spending money for.
An amount almost as great is paid
non-union orchestras and for jazz
photograph records, sheet music and
piano rolls, not to mention the hun
dreds Of pianos and monographs that
are bought solely to produce jazz. Mu-
sic stores all report increased sales of

in organizations which play either all

Here's other information he gives.
Fifty-one men play in tbeater or

Of $40 a week. There are 10 jazz
dance orchestras that play every night
and the minimum wage is s. per man

JAZZ LOSING GROUND.
In addition there are about Is or
chestras, paid the same, which aver
age three nights n week.
Slowly but surely, Mr.. Atchison
says, jazz is losing ground and today
hardly resembles the jazz that was
born as a result of hectic war times.
1t is becoming harmonious type of
music.
"Music has definite cycle TO
make" Mr.. Atchison said. Twenty
five years ago the 'cakewalk' came and
before that there were other types of
wild music. Slowly music came to
the jazz period and now the tide is
turning.
