LAREDO, Tex, April 8. - The

as replacement hole for the one
lost about two months ago, due to a
blowout which ruined the we'll on ac-
count Of so much open hole below the
pint where the ten-inch casing was
set.
The gas pressure in this lost hole
is evidently of the greatest rock pres

oil men have ever heard of doing.
That is, it blew in with an instant
roar like Il cannon shot without any
warning whatever while the hole was
standing full of heavy mud. Men Mt

While both Of these tests failed {"

It is the general opinion in oil cir

TULSA, Okla, April 3.-The We

major developments of the past week

The Usage sale has come and gone and
created no sensation due to the col
lapse of the new Fairfax pool offset
wells. Good prices on a few Burbank
tracts were more or less expected, the
top price of $7JO,OOO with eight tracts
above 100000, being considered good
in view of a rather pesSimistic feeling
just before the sale. Phillips Petro-

stuff and also considerable cheap acre

DECLINE CONTINUES.

In a majority of instances the der
riCks destroyed were over producing
wells. and the next week or two will
see a big drop in. the output of the
Texas Gulf Coast. Repair work is be-
ing rushed and the wooden derricks
will probably be replaced with steel
ones wherever these can be procured.
The production loss will only be
temporary, however. for all the wells
will be put back on production as fast
as material can be provided. Supply
companies in the Gulf Coast carry
heavy stocks and it is probable that
two weeks will see most of the wells
back on the beam. In some instances
it may be impossible TO bring the wells
back, but these will be negligible.
Completion for the week in both
the Texas and Louisiana fields held
up well IN spite of the wet and stormy
weather Eleven wells were reported
from Texas fields and seven from
Louisiana.
