| GAS WELL RUNNING WILD ’
_
i The biggest incident of the week
was the beraking loose of The Texas
Company’s Gist No. 1A well, which
got away from the drillers Wednes-
day and hag ben runningwild since
that time. Though the well is nine
miles north of town, the distant
roaring of it can be plainly heard.
Thig weel is just below 800 feet
deep, drilled through some 290 feet
of gas sand with onethin shale. The
gas was first struck at 406 feet
early last summer and for the depth
was conceeded tobe one of th world’s
greatest gas wells. It was impossi-
ble to hold" down the tremendous
gas pTessude, and this forced further
drilling. An oilsand was struck a
few days since, and the gas was
being held down with mud—and now
it has got away from them.
The Humphreys company has two
wells on the oil sand' on the Maddox
ranch, with casing set and all ready
to bring in when they get ready. The
Texas Company’s monster gas well
on the Lemons place was drilled

Why is it that the average man is worth so
much less in money and property than we
have a right to expect him to be?> ’t isn’t be-
cause he doesn’t make the money, for the
everage man is industrious and has earned
from $10,000 to $30,000 in the past ten
pears. It is because he doesn’t give much
serious thought either to his income or out-
go. Serious thought would teach him the
true value of a dollar; then he would spend
carefully and deposit steadily. That system
soon places any man ahead of his fellows.
