Robinson of the Welsh Oil and Iand Development Company Tcesday made a sale of 2000 barrels of oil to Buck . Walsh to be used as fuel for an irrigating p)uimping station. Hill Top No. 4 was put in readiness for the bailing process yesterday and will probably be brought in before the close of the week. G. B. Speed, in charge of the work, is sanguine that the well will be made a producer. cO The oil fields at Welsh has long been considered as extending to the southwest, and prospectors now pro pose to work in that directfon. Land has been bought and options taken preparatory to the test. -Lake Charles News. At the hour of going to press yes terday everything was in readiness for pumping Metropolitan No. 1, the well recently sold at public auction and so long out of commission. J. W. Em bry is in charge of the well, and it is *.. believed it will be made one of the really good producers in the field. The Texas Oil Company's drillers have ceased work at a depth of 1,200 or feet to await instructions from head i quarters as to whether or not an addi n. tional thousand shall be drilled. Al ad though some oil was encountered en nearer the surface, at the present depth conditions are very unsatisfac 44 tory and the development at this point 88 would be of no commercial value, 50 consequently the management is con 3 sidering the advisability of going 84 deeper. 00 J. V. Saum, manager of the Big Mound Oil Company, informed a 27 Journal representative yesterday ar- morning that his machinery had been ice moved to the Lognion farm and placed nts into position and an effort would be made at once to extricate the pipe he twisted off last spring. It will be re to membered that the pipe twisted off in 87 this well in ninety feet of oil sand on en- the eve of bringing it in. The work of age removing the broken pipe proved 'fruitless and the well was abandoned. of In the event the detached portion is use not fished out, a new well will be put down immediately. The value of the prospective oil field in Calcasieu parish is growing every day. There can be but little that doubt that the territory in South clu- west Louisiana of which Calcasieu low Parish is the center, will be the next all storm center of oil development. As to the other fields decrease in output, and 0P- it is only necessary to read the dis .s to patches from day to day to discover very that fact, the value of the Calcasieu Sates territory becomes more and more ap it is parent. What we have needed most ad- in this section is not so much oil ter I in- ritory as oil demand. This is com >per- ing and it means that Calcasieu will Pull- yet be a great oil field.-Press. way The.Mac Fadden well continues to der- flow as it has been the past three or ever four weeks. When the wind blows ever from the south the flow increases, ev tion idencing beyond doubt the effect of ear- the tide on Welsh oil wells. Mr. B Speed, of the Hill Top Company, when asked his views as to influence of wind and tides on the Welsh oil wells, said: "I don't know, but it is a Iman fact that Friday well No. 3, recently and finished by me for the company, blew >kout the plug out and spouted about fifty nch- feet, and it was still flowing when I left the field. A south wind, I always 4 epers noticed, at Beaumont, caused many and wells to flow after they had ceased to give oil in that way." m- According to advices received from p ap- Welsh Wednesday morning the oil ds, T. field at that place is busy and devel- - opments are being carried on quite extensively. The introduction of the I s and Getty-Rowbotham screen in this field, I een promises to revolutionize the place c per and indications for an era of pros perity are certainly encouraging. In rON. the Welsh field like the Jennings the days of adventure, the rush, whoop o the and hurrah of the gambler are no city longer dominant. The field has de r the veloped itself, and grown so in im and portance that the world is having the oohn- truth before it. True, the lack of ting of transportation facilities was a factor large in retarding development; but this eaking very factor was seized upon and made n Mr. the most of by interested parties. The oo the railroad is now laying tracks to the npleted refinery and to the wells, and the untof whole rice region has practically t d100) thrown of the incubus placed upon it aited on by those who sought to selfishly serve rJen- special interests. The plain truth is that the Welsh field is a great pro ducer. It is easily accessible, has ss trio other advantagos that make every aymond dollar of investment there worth] ieu Ir- double today what it was originally, ogether and in the-very near future some very I;5 being largoe fortunes are sure to Ilow from oanoke these oil wells into the pockets of the on his p1eol0) who had the pliuck and (:ommon T 1imes. sense to hold on. -Jennings Times IZcorid. t Kim- Latest 'aittern of Mhirt 1Vaisting, :n r?- W\hite l)iDuck and Irilliaitine at Mar Cline, Cline & Lee LAWYERS.
