Science Watches Eagerly
As ‘Dead* Dog Recovers To
Lap Milk Poured in Mouth
1 BERKELEY Calif. April 27. (*>—
The pink tongue of a dog revived
from death lapped eagerly as milk
*as poured Into its mouth and Dr.
Robert E. Cornish said Friday re
hoped the animal's increasing
strength eventually would enable
i; to survive and thereby advance
his revivication experiment to aid
mankind.
Dr. Cornish young research work-
tr at the University of •California
believes his theory of revivication
~omt day may be applied success-
fully to human beings who have
died from heart failure shock sub-
mersion and asphyxiation.
The anunal. now known as “1J
because it was put to death clinic-
ally on Friday. April 13. appear* to
be in a deep stupor and Dr. Cornish
explained the dog has not recovered
ills menial faculties.
"1 hope the dog's brain eventual-
ly will become restored to the
condition It was before death. ' Dt
Cornish said.
"The deg was dead four min-
utes by medical standards. It was
asphyxiated the heart tiad stopped
beating it ceased to breathe and
its blood had halted its circulation.
There* u> no question that the dog
was dead.
"Then I injected heparin to
t»art its heart and defibrinated
blood into its veins and within a
minute its heart was beating but
too rapidly.
"This rapid heart movement
which leached 220 beats a minute
cuickly wore out the hearts of two
dogs on which we experimented
previously. To give the heart some-
thing to pump back into the arter-
ies we injected a salt solution and
live beating slowed down to nor-
mal.”
Dr. Cornish explained that part
of the brain which controls phy-
sical functions has returned to
normal but the part wherein lies
! the higher intellect appears to have
I been damaged severely by the ani-
! .rial's death.
The dog's anatomy is compar-
able to that of a man and I hope
we may be able to apply our meth-
ods to save human beings. Of
course I may not succeed but I
want to keep on trying.” Dr. Corn-
ish said.

OIL SAND IS
DISCOVERED N
NEW LOCATION
(Special to The Herald)
RIO GRANDE CITY. April 27.-
Sun Oil company once more took
the spotlight in the Siarr-Hldaijo
area during the past week by dis-
covering a new sane In the Las
Cuevitas district of northwestern
Starr county. One new test got un-
der way during the week and four
ethers will start drilling early next
week.
Sun Oil company s new find
caused a considerable flurry of
excitement in the area and brought
the known number of oil pools in
the county to six. There are auo
three gas fields in the county. The
011 pools are Sun Oil company’s
Las Cuevitas pool producing from
2.240 feet; Los Olmos shallow pool
12 miles north of Rio Grande City
producing or pumping from 430 to
550 feet; and the Texas company s
Roma pool producing from about
6 000 feet; the Suns new pool
showing for production from 2.050
ieet; and the Jeff ties-Lambeth pool
producing from 2.518 feet. The gas
Helds are the Los Olmos shallow
gassers producing from 480 to 550
feet; the Jeffries-Lambeth gas
area producing from 2.400 feet;
and the Goodwin-Yantis gassers
producing from 685 feet.
Another Pool
The Sun test which uncovered
another pool is the No. B-6 M
Ouerra A Son. located about 2.310
ieet south of the Starr-Jim Hogg
I counties line and above 2.970 feet
j .vest of the east line of Las Cuevitas
Survey northwestern Hidalgo coun-
j ty. Sand was topped at 2.047 feet
and was cored to 2055 feet on r-op
( of which casing was set and cement-
ed early this week. A 20-minute
drill stem test showed 280 feet of
oil standing in the hole but there
was a complete lack ol gas pres-
sure. The plug was unlled Thurs-
day and it is expected that
test will be completed over the
weekend The test is expected to be
& pumper.
Production from the new sand is
authentically reported to be quite
different from that of a 2.200-foot
sand picked up in Sun producers
about one mile west. While no def-
inite test of the gravity of the new
production has been made the cil
u reported to be of lower specific
gravity.
New Test Begins
One new test got under way dur-
ing the past week. It was the Wil-
liam F. McGinley No. l Starr Coun-
ty Cattle company located 330 feet

west of the Jeffrtes-lsunbeth gasser
in Share 80-5 Porcion 80 the test

ing been delayed by boiler trouble.
This test will be closely watched
for either gas production picked up
in the J-L gasser at 2455 feet or
oil production showing in the j-i<
No. 2 at 2.518 feet.
