Preparing To Try New
Test in Ashby Field
By BOB WILKINSON
Oil Operator-Lease Broker
Lloyd H. Smith, Michael T. Judd,
and others are preparing to spud
in their important confirmation
test in the new one-well Ashby
Field on the Grace Henley lease.
The drillsite is about one-half
of a mile southwest of the opera-
tors’ No. 1 W. G. Alderman gas-
distillate discovery in the Lower
Frio formation. Also it may be
spotted four and one-half miles
southeast of the Blessing townsite
in the D. T. Bruce Survey, A-432.
This test and the Alderman is
in a block assembled for the Hum-
ble Oil & Refining Company by
W. 'W. Wilkinson & Sons, lease
brokers and oil operators of Bay
City, Texas, of which firm the writ-
er is a member.
Oil news too late for some edi-
tions last week find J. R. Frar.kel
plugging No. 1 Henry Rugeley,
et al southwest of Bay City in
Lucky Field at 10,819 feet; H. J.
(Jack) Porter—“Mr. Republican”
in Texas—and others plugging No.
1 J. J. Jensen Unit southwest of
Pheasant at 9,270 feet; George R.
Brown plugging No. 1 Henrietta
Krueger northwest of Glen Flora
at 3,010 feet.
P e 1 - T e x Petroleum Company
hopes to dually complete No. 2
B. W. Trull in Trull Field south-
east of Francitas for a gas-dis-
tillate discovery. Apparently the
well is multiple pay. Other wells
in the comparatively new field are
one oil well and one gas well.
More late drill reports, field-by-
field, area-by-area:
Palacios—Kilroy, Callcry, and
Pan Am are testing No. 1 Hogg-
State Unit No. 2. .. At last re-
port Ohio Oil Company’s No. 1
Buller Gas Unit was fishing for
stuck drill pipe with bottom of the
hole at that time around 7,500
feet.
North Palacios — Texkan Oil
Company’s No. 1 W. A. Elder, et
al, is a new drillsite.
Blessing-North Blessing — Tex-
aco’s No. 7 A. B. Pierce is digging
around 6,000 feet.
Southeast El Maton—iMonsanto
Chemical Company is testing No. 1
Mignon Doman with bottom of the
hole at 12,509 feet.
East Bernard—Adobe Oil Com-
pany and others were still testing
No. 1 W. C. Leveridge at last re-
port.
Duffy—Joycelyn-Varn Oil Com-
pany’s No. 2 Ath Carville Jr. is
waiting on a potential test.
Hutchins-Kubela — Gilcrease Oil
Company’s No. 3 Bishkin-Meyer is
projected to 6,500 feet four miles
northeast of El Campo.
West Danevang—Alcoa’s No. 1
Sophia Olson should be around
8,000 feet by now.
South Lissie—George R. Brown

Southwest Francitas—Blanco Oil
Company’s No. 1 Ward is a new
drillsite four miles southwest of
Francitas in the R. D. Moore Sur-
vey, A-55. The Ward is permitted
for 9,800 feet.
LeTulle—Cyprus Oil Company’s
No. 1 F. L. Railsback is drilling
around 10,000 feet.
East Bay City—Pan Am is test-
ing No. 3 Rugeley Gas Unit which
bottoms at 12,602 feet. . . U. M.
Harrison’s No. 1 E. R. Williamson
is around 10,000 feet.
Northeast Caney—Plymouth Oil
Company is testing No. 1 Mary J.
Lawson, which is at a total depth
of 11,690 feet.
South Bay City—Van Dyke &
Mejlaender should have spudded
No. 1 Hamilton Savage, et al, by
now. Incidentally, it is in this area
that Joseph P. Kennedy, father of
the Demo presidential candidate, is
said to own a mineral interest. The
elder Kennedy is reported to have
mineral interests in various parts
of the country so it is a source of
amazement to the writer that his
son, Jack, should be reported as
being against the depletion allow-
ance as it now stands.
Northeast Markham—Cosden Pe-
troleum Corporation’s No. 1. W. D.
Cornelius Jr. is reported to be at
total depth of around 12,500 feet.

PRISON RODEO STAR—
Ricky Nelson, versatile young
radio, television, recording and
movie star will make a personal
appearance at the opening of
the 29th Annual Texas Prison
Rodeo in Huntsville, Sunday,
Oet. 2 at 2 p. m. He will share
honors with oullaw inmate rid-
ers and a host of other enter,
tainmeat features. One of the
several inmate groups to per-
form will be the Goree Girls,
with Candy Harr, former Dallas
entertainer. Held each Sunday
in October, net proceeds from
ticket sales go for inmate re-
habilitative services. Headline
stars on succeeding Sundays
include Allen Case and The
Crew-Cuts, Oct. 9; Molly Bee
and Bo Diddley, Oct. 16; John
Wayne and Frankie Avalou,
Oet. 23; Jimmie Rodgers and
Nell Scdaka, Oct. 30
What with muddy water, low tide |1
about six inches lower than nor- WM
mal, and the norther over the week ; ,
end, fishing was slow all over, both
boats and bank fishermen reported (,
very few fish caught and most
of them were small.
State Representative Lloyd Guf- *
fy, Mrs. Guffy and Gayle and Gat ; .
tis, were fishing from Grassy Point
Pier, and the children reported that
all they were getting were 'a few
little bitty catfish’, and that nicely
summed up all pier fishing from
GPBC.
Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Temple, Mr.
and Mrs. Marvin Franklin and
families of Bay City had better
luck at the City Pier with a ‘take
home catch' of lots of small flound-
er, croakers, whiting and drum.
Mrs. Temple formerly of Ken-
tucky, had never seen a blow fish
or sting ray, and several were
hooked while they were fishing off
the pier.
Arthur D. Johnson says he gets
a bite every time he casts but the
fish on his hook is too small to
keep. He also remarked that the
mosquitoes never bite this month,
they just bite him.
Waders at Wells Point landed a
few small rat reds and specks but
no large fish were reported.
Two or three local fishermen
have been getting nice reds—some
going three to six and seven
pounds on trotlines. Where? “Oh,
just here and there”. So you fig-
ure out who.they are and where
they got the reds, as I promised not
to tell other than that the loca-
tions were somewhere along Turtle
Bay, and East Palacios Bay.
Palacios Camps have live bait
and plenty of fresh bait.

Mr. and Mrs. E. White of Dallas
have been coming to Palacios since
1951 and always stay at the Bap-
tist Encampment. They enjoy fish
ing and though they have not
caught any big fish this trip they
have had fair luck irom the BYPU
pier and at Turtle Bay.
Margarite Arlla landed a three
pound flounder fishing from East
Bay banks. Leon says any flounder
six pounds and over is called a
“Saddle Blanket” so Margarite
caught a half of one. Leon has
been getting some nice reds be-
tween the City pier and tip of
Grassy Point.
Mollie Lee Hope got a three
pound red at Coon Island on Mon-
day. Garrett also landed a few
rat reds.
Ernest Knight of Cleveland, and
Pete iMcClusky of New Caney—now
working in Palacios—fish almost
every evening after four, and have
had fine success at Half Moon
Reef. One day they brought in 14
going one pound to three. Another
day it was 30 specks, one going
six and a fourth pounds, the larg-
est to date. They used fresh bait.
Lex Sutton gives this piece of
good advice—never wash a bloody
knife off with your hand hanging
over the edge of a boat. He was

RICE QUEEN CANDIDATE—

ment personalities will make per-
sonal appearances here each Sun-

mate entertainment groups featur
ed such as the Goree Girls, with

The Texas Prison Rodeo is the
only prison event in the nation
which earmarks net proceeds for
inmate rehabilitative services.
Although the prison stadium has
a 30,000 seating capacity, rodeo

well are making plans to take care
of record-breaking crowds at the
“World’s Wildest Rodeo.” The show
begins at two p.m.
Tommy Brandon left Monday for
Waco, whsre he will resume his
studies at Baylor University.
License Needed
For Commercial
Bay Fishing Boats
AUSTIN—All persons who fish
commercially in tide waters of this
State are required to have a com-
mercial fishing boat license if their
boat is propelled by a motor larger
than 10 h.p., according to C. L.
Friou, fiscal director of the Game
and Fish Commission.
Previously, all inboards and
those ouiboards 16 feet and over
required the $6 license, and the
smaller boats needed the $3 fish
boat license. However, since the
enactment of the Water Safety Act
by the 56th Legislature, the re-
quirement was changed.
He also clarified other license
purchase requirements. It now is
permissible for a person to pur-
chase a license for another. How-
ever the purchaser should be re
minded that the license is not valid
until it is s’gned by the licensee.
New hunting and fishing licenses
went on sale shortly before Sep-
tember 1. This means new licenses
for the 1960-61 season now are
required for hunting and fishing
outside the home county. Also, ail
persons between the ages of 16
and 65 must have fishing licenses
if they use a rod and reel.
James Farley, who attended
school here, is now serving in the
U. S. Army in Inehov, China, but
expects to be stationed in Korea.
Attention First Year Brownies;
Mrs. Rose McClary and Mrs. Bar-
bara Bolling will be at Weimer
Hall on Friday, Sept. 16, at 3:30
p.m. to sign all first year Brownies.
Each child must bring $1.00.
