New Wells With Big Yields
Are Coming m Daily in
Famous Field.
Ranger. Texas, July 26. E. S. Da
Ties No. 1 is on ton of the black lime
and the crew is moving back the
boiler preparaotry to drilling in. This
is the property of the Humble com
pany and is situated in the Desde
mona district.
The company believes that its pipe
line connecting- the E. P. Ellison well
to the three tank storage at Corayn
will be able to handle the production
of the new wells. The Ellison well is
making 5500 barrels in Its pinched
condition.
The Monitor Oil company's test on
the Parton tract, adjoining the N. B.
Harris of the ilagnolla Petroleum
company, came In Tuesday with a
flow of 1000 barrels. The Harrison
well came in some time ago with a
production 'of 700 barrels and in
creased its flow to 1000 barrels only to
fall back to the steady TOO barrel
production. It is now 3420 feet deep.
Drilling is being continued In the
T. w. Connelle No. 3 of the Magnolia
Petroleum company. The hole Is full
of oil at 3340 feet.
The Magnolia Petroleum company is
preparing to utilize all casinchead
gas. During the past months it has
"been escaping. The company has
started construction work on an eight
unit plant capable of producing 8000
gaUons of gasoline dally, on the Oscar
Harris farm. The company believes
that this new plant will be ready for
operations within the next three
months. It is situated near Olden, six
miles southwest of Hanger, and will
draw its gas supplies frm the W. A.
Harris, N. B. Harris, R. s. Harris
and Oscar Harris wells. These fourj
wells are situated In a heaw gas field
and while no estimate of their gas
production has been made, it Is
thought to be enough to supply the
Dig plant now unaer way.
Two miles west of Ranger, the
Magnolia company already has a plant
of four units well under way. This
will be ready for use within the next
30 days, rtie company plans to con
struct about ten of these plants
throughout the section. This is the
first extensive step made to save the
large quantities of gas which have
been going to waste in tne Texas
fields.
The Humble company is preparing
to shoot the Sue No. 2. situated four
miles west of Ranger. The well is now
producing a little oil at a depth of
3509 feet.
South of Ranger, the Moss No. I, of
the Sinclair company, is 100 feet deep.
According to a conservative esti
mate of the nroduction of the TVest-
helmer Oil company's Mrs. N. A.
Bratton No. 1, It is making 200 bar
rels -of oil daily. This well Is situ

California woman believes
in Tanlac because it
helped her where- others
failed.
"I have more confidence In Tanlac
than any medicine I have ever seen,
and Til tell you the reason why," said
Mrs. Mary A. Blette. who lives at
22? Palm street, Sherman, Calif, a
few days ago.
"I suffered terribly from Indiges
tion for about five years." she con
tinued, "and Tanlac 13 the only thing
that has ever .given me any relief.
Everything I ate would sour on my
stomach, and gas would often form
so bad that my heart would palpitate
something awfuL I was so nervous
that a good night's sleep was out of
the- question with me. I felt tired and
wornout all the time, and there was
hardly ever a time when I wasn't suf
fering in some way. I lost fifteen
pounds in weight, and finally got so
weak and rundown that I was hardly
able to get about at all.
"Then I commenced taking Tanlac.
and the very first bottle I took made
a big change in my condition and I
Just continued to improve until my
troubles had been comfiletely over
come I really never erijoyed better
health than I do now. I have a splen
did appetite and everything I eat
agrees with me perfectly. My nerves
seem to be in perfect condition, and I
sleep Just like a baby every night.
When I get up every morning now. I
feel quite different to what I did be
fore I took Tanlac. I have gained a
good deal in weight and id ro we'l
and strong now that I can easily do all
my housework. Tanlac did all this for
me after everything else I tried had
failed, and that is why I say that I
have more confidence in Tanlac than
any medicine I have ever seen."
Tanlac is sold in El Paso by Kelly
