Making rapid progress the well
has been drilled to its present depth
since the rig was set up August 21.
Actual depth of the sand is not
known hut if oil is found, operators
expect it at approximately the same
depth as that at which both the
Buckingham McCamphell No. t
and the Atlantic Maryland Trust

coining from these two wells at the

In wildcat territory, the well will
determine the possible hredtli of

The well is located between In-

/“And being noted for my] truth

the story with the accuracy of
detail which makes me second
to none, in my reputation tor
( veracity in . anything pertaining
HjV Now. 1 dort't know
wTiaTthat word means, but 1
read it in The Progress a couple
of weeks ago. and I know it’s
got something to do with fish-
ing and it's a good word, so 1
used it.
One very beautiful day. while
carrying a party front Aransas
Bass to the Gulf, we ran smack
dab into one of those disasters
that sometimes happen on the
big waters of the Gulf of Mexico
As we neared the dock where
the tow boats tie up, we saw a
large crowd gathered. Upon in-
quiry, we found out that the
cook off the John C. Stewart
had fell overboard as lie step-
ped to the rail to throw’ out some,
had eggs he was frying.
He hadn't been found when we
came up and th*e party felt pret-
ty had. Knowing however,
that our assistance would he of
no avavil, we decided to go right
on fishing.
Going to Port Aransas, we se-
cured some mullet for bait.
These were placed in a bucket
along with some ice to keep
them fresh. TK irip was made
to the jetties without much con-
versation as we were all think-
ing about the tragedy we had
almost witnessed.
It was a little choppy around
the north jetty and no one no-
ticed the boat rocking more than
usual .for a few minutes till »>tte
of the party looked around and
a large tarpon had jumped in the
boat.
\iter a terrific struglge which
brought in anchors, grappling
hooks and all the rest of the
equipment we had, we got him
under/control. To our dismay,
we found he had eaten all ottr
bait du’ruig the struggle The
only thing left for us to do was
was use the tarpon for bait—so
we did.
After trolling for a short time,
we got a nice strike and after
battling with’a monster of the
deep for sixteen hours and four-
ten minutes, he was conquered
When vs< towed him ashore,
he was cut open to he mounted
and lo and behold, there was the
rook with his frying pan cook
ing liver and onions.
SCHOOL BOARD
WRESTLES WITH
FIELD PROBLEM
How Best to Raise
Money for Liprhts
• is Puzzle
The puzzling question—how best
to get lights for the football field
before- the season is under way—
again confronted the school board
in their regular meeting Monday
night. |
Estimates, all for fields with
stronger lidhts ami better lighting
t.it 11 it ii s jjian the group had in-
tended installing here, were above
the prices first expected
Leading in the list of suggestions
on ways and means of raising th
necessary funds for the project
was hy the popular subscription
method. It was in this manner
that money was raised to construct
the Panther Den. high school gym-
nasium and auditorium. <
No definite action has been taken
on the matter, however More es-
timates front experienced electrical
men will he placed before the mem
hers of the board within the next
few days.
It is from these that the actual
cost of the field will he determin-
ed. This price will determine the
method by which the money
needed w ill he collected.
Current estimates set the price
at from $13110 to $2,100.
I What, in your opinion, would
he the heat method of obtaining
funds for the lighting of the toot-
ball field?
