Worlds Deepest
Oil Well Is 1888
Feet Under Ground
High Gasoline Crude L
Found Far Beneath
Surface i'm Texas.

SANTA RITA, Tex. (P)--The deepest
hole in the ground goes down 1898 feet.
1t is the oil well on-or rather, in
Reagan County land owned by the
University of Texas.
The previous record for depth in drill
ing was 8,20l feet. This was made in
Orange County Calf, and the hole was
abandoned as dry.
Oil from the Texas well is so high in
gasoline content that it can be used for
cleaning clothes or polishing floors with
out being refined. It tests 669 per cent
gasoline of 587 gravity; 24.6 per cent
kerosene; 6.5 gas oil, and per cent
sediment.
Drilling of the deepest oil well lasted
almost four years. 1t was delayed once
because fire destroyed the derrick and
again when the bit was lost more than
a mile below the earth's surface.
Five oil sands were encountered. The
first. down 2,464 feet, gave an initial
flow of 800 barrels daily. compared with
the peak production of BIT barrels a
dav from the fifth sand. After 5000
barrels of oil had been pumped from the
first sand, drilling was resumed and the
second was found at a depth of 5000
feet. It's total output was small. The
third sand was encountered at 1924 and
the fourth at 8,484 feet.
Cost of drilling to the first sand was
$135.000.
The success of the University of Texas
venture will lead to the deepening Of
other wells which have ceased to return
oil in paying quantities, in the hope that
even more wealth than the original
project contemplated will be found be-
low,

Terrific Hail Storm
Sweeps Howard Areas
With Heavy Damages

Reports in the Howard vicinity eight
miles West of this city, state that a
Aerrific hail storm swept through their
section at an early hour Friday, damag-
Ing hundreds of acres of cotton and
corn.
In many places, the reports state,
Fields were denuded of all leaves, only
the stems and stalks of cotton remain
Ing. Estimates of the damage will run
into thousands of dollars, as it is too
late for replanting, and much specula-
ton is being made as to whether the
bottom will regain the setback suffered.
others claim that most of the section is
Hoo far damaged for any expectation of
! crop.
The storm swept northeast and cross
Ia the Tchula- Lexington highway near
fehula and along the Funnagusha NIL
eetion. Carpets of green leaves were
either side of the roadway where the
,ail battered the growth of trees and
hushes, on the graveled road.
A heavy rainfall followed the hail in
smany places and swept the stripped fol-
siage into piles of drift in the lowlands
gof many fields.
