dred and tour Texas ucldiers from
206 communities will return to their
home state in March as part of the
47th "Viking” Infantry Division
stationed here to participate in Kx- !
ercise Long Horn, at Fort Hood
The 47th’s Texas contingent is I
composed of draftees and rotated
Korean veterans.
Included in the ranks are: Pfc. i
H. T. White, and Pfe Robert L.
^n/, 711 W. 4lh St., l)oth of Sweet
water; Cpl. Billy Leonard, Route J
One, and Cpl. Raymond J. Bray,
Jr., both of Roseoe; and Cpl. Mil-
ton D Gill, of Maryneal—all from
Nolan County.
The draftees poured Into the 47th
in the middle of February, 1951,
after processing at Fort Sill, Okla
The 47lh Division—Army home of
so many Texans — is one of the
youngest infantry divisions in ac-
tive service. In replacement, hun-
dreds of Korean veterans have been
assigned to the division.
Although the division as a unit
has no combat record, the indi-
vidual regiments and oattallons
have fought under other divisions'
colors.
For Exercise Long Horn, the 47th
will have to transplant itself lock,
stock, and barrel. That entails
moving a "city” of some 15,000
men—with equipment 900 miles
^cross four states.
V Long Horn will highlight 13
months of intens ve combat infan-
try training for the Viking Divi-
sion.
The 47th is now called an "All-
American” Division with men from
48 states and three territories.
Exercise Long Horn will include
150,000 men from eight Army and
numerous Air Force units. The
problem is designed to give realis-
tic training in large-scale offensive
and defensive operations.
OH Test In 1918
Didn't Get Deep
Enough at Boothe
The No 1 Boothe oil strike north
of Lake Trammell is within a few
hundred yards of an o;l try back in
about 1918 by Packard Oil and Gas
Co., old-timers recall.
The early try went to a total
depth of 3356 feet with old styled
cable tools with much excitement
and talk at the time. The driller,
a Mr. Kelly, was so-well known
that it was often referred to as the
Kelly well.
Those close to the exploration
say that it had no oil or gas shows,
though there were many rumors.
The new well drilled by one of
the most modern and efficient rigs
in this section seems to bear out
the reports that the Packard had
no shows because the Boothe well
did not begin to "find things" until
after 5,000 feet.
The location is just east of the
Santa Fe railroad and near the site
of the old Ada school.
It is the second section straight
north of the Lake Trammell dam.
Lake Trammell covers two sec-
tions south and on the south end of
the lake shore Rowan and Hope
found the Canyon sand for the three
city wells.
In the Bob Campbell estate just
south of the lake two w’ells were
found in the sand.
In the Texas Pacific Land and
Trust section just south of the
Campbell. Union found its No. 1
TXL 118 barrel well. Union's No.
1-34 Mary E. Campbell, an offset
found 128.44 barrels of oil in the
section just west of the TXL.
A little to the south and east, the
Ruth Harp and Featherstone wells
came in However a number of
tries on the Stone property have
failed. The last Featherstone try
failed near Highway 70.
| An east offset try at Lake Tram-
| mell missed the pay.
Moving over to the second sec-
tion west of the north end of Tram-
mell Lake, Skelly got an Ellenbur-
ger deep well on the Evelyn Cox
property.
The Canyon sand at Trammell
has shown up south, two sections
long and part of two sections wide.
| it didn't go east or west of the
j Lake.
Almost three miles north from
j the Trammell discovery, the
j Boothe well found a stray sand of
jthe Canyon sand general type.
| Now, two sections north from
there just about where the Santa
j Fe railroad bends to turn toward
Sweetwater. Gem Oil is locating

just about two miles south of the
Nemir reef well at the airport.

Moody-Dingle Bill
Opposed By WTCC
ABILENE—Aid of Senator Tom
Connally in opposition to passage
of the Moody-Dingell bill has been
asked by the West Texas Cham-
ber of Commerce, which con-
| tends that it would nationalize un-
employment compensation, Frank
H. Kelley, WTCC president said to-
day.
Kel’.ey said the WTCC will be rep-
resented when the Senate Finance
Committee hold a hearing on the
bill.
“Under wise administration.” he
wrote, “we have built a trust fund
reserve in excess of $230 million.
The minimum rate assessed em-
| ployers who have either totally or
appreciably stabilized their employ-
I ment was reduced recently from
five-tenths of one percent to one
percent to one-tenth of one per-
cent.”
Even with this low experience
ratings under which most Texas
\ firms have qualified, the state’s
reserve fund has continued to grow,
and the recipients of unemploy-
ment compensation benefits have
been beneficially served, Melton
told Connally.
Two men from the Austin branch j
of the Smithsonian Institution who
have been exploring the Oak Creek
basin for information on prehistor-
ic Indian Information and on more j
ancient men and animals have j
made some interesting discoveries
according to a special article by
Bill Billingsley in the San Angelo
Standard-Times. The explorers are
Ed B. Jolks and Ed Moorman of
Austin. They have been going over
the future lake basin carefully to
find what they can before the lake
covers any possible traces of ear-
ly inhabitants.
"In one search on the Conda Wi-
ley ranch just southeast of Black-
well. they were aided by Billie
Hanks and James Roe, amateur ar- |
eheologists of San Angelo. ' Bill-
ingsley wrote. “The four men gave
a thorough going-over to an area
soon to be inundated by Oak Creek
reservoir.

Hog Hunter Too
“On a high bluff in what will

found a foot-deep hole in the rock
where Indians ground their corn
tor bread by pounding it with an-
other stone.
“A few feet from the grinder hole
was a neat rock shelter, formerly
inhabited by both Indians and a
wild hoc hunter.
“Proof of the Indians' residence
came from several crude arrow
heads and stone knives which the
scientists excavated from the shel-
ter’s floor.
“After the Indians left, the shel-
ter was taken over and improved
by the hog hunter. Its neatly-pil-
ed rock walls and door jamb made
of three sturdy logs are still stand-
ing after 60 years.
“A cowhand on the ranch, now
in his 70’s, said he remembered
the hog hunter from his boyhood
The hunter had a comfortable home
in the snug shelter, and made his
living hunting the javelinas that
abounded in the brush around the
