Weekly Review Of Oil Activities
Around The Laredo District
(By J. W. Falvella, Laredo, Texas)
A genuine mid-summer develop-
ment boom is ini full pmgress in the
Laredo district at the beginning of
August, with the result that ten new
oil produrers amd one gasser spraying
distilate were completed during th-i
week from July 26 to August 2, a to-
tal off 19 new locations were made in
various fields of the district andjonly
four aba,ndonmerits were reported, ac-
cording to woekly scout report of
Harry L. Fansler of Larelo covering
operations in the district.
August begins with intensive wild-
catting operations throughout Webb
county being the outstanding feature,
following the bringing in of the new
Lopez Field of Webb county 18 miles
,ninth of Bruni by Mills Bennett’s big
oil producer and Magnolia Petroleum
Co., extending the Cole Field of Webb
county two miles to the southeast of
Bruni as a result of wildcat opera-
tions by Magnolia, which now has five
producing oil wells there, while Mims
Bros., have added two more producers
and Texas Co., has completed its first
flowing oil well in that area.
Now wildcat development work has
shifted northwest, north and north-
east of Laredo in Webb county, with
the latest to ejnter into the work be-
ing O. W. Killam, discoverer of the
Laredo district and the largest inde-
pendent operator, having leased the
73,000-aore L. R. Ortiz ranch wh:cli
begins four miles northwest of thi;
city, extends across to the north and
northeat of Laredo and connects with
the paved highway east of Laredo af-
ter Crossing the I.aredo-San Antonio
highway north of Laredo. On the
Hardie Jef'eries ranch 24 miles rot’h-
west of Laredo another wildcat is now
drilling, the W. H Vernor Trustee No.

ing watched with interest. After
,-pudding this well Februii y 1 la3‘
wth 10 inch casing to 200 feet it was
left standing at 1,102 feet. Now erec-
tion of a 112-foot derrick has stai-ted
to resume lrilling and a heavy rig is
being moved in to drill a d^ep hole.
The test will go to the C r. izo or Wil
cox sands There had been several
shiwings of g:> and oil to the 1.102

Cotton income in Jim Hogg county
wa> nearly four times in 1934 what it
was is 1932, i^nd even almost double
that of 1933 a very favorable year, it
is announced by Jim Hogg county
aj^ent on the basis of complete official
three-year eqfcjnty cotton figures just
received from the Agricultural Arf-
ustme^nt Administration.
Jim Hogg county farmers received
for their cotton last year $243,313.28
compared to $67,235.25 in 1932 and
$129,004.58 in 1933. The farm falue
of lint and seed last year was almost
$150,000 more than it was in 1932, and
added to this were $27,732.07 in bene-
fit payments.
Values are based upon yields and
prices as furnished by the United
States Department of Agricultur *.
The benefit payments include all those
to April 30, 1935.

County Judge W. A. Da/\ne!ley went
to Rio Grande City on Tuesday of this
week where he met with the proper
authorities to discuss final details on
the road connecting this place with
the border own. An agreement was
reached whereby the old road would
be used making the erpense less than
by having to survey and clear out an
entire new route. In this route tint the
small towns of Randado Escobas and
Cuevitas will be included in the travel
area. For some time this important
outlet to the oil fields a,nd near by
farming district south of Hebbronville
has been keenly felt ai d has been
kept under consideration continuously
by interested hitizenh of i^Jr oounty.
One of the untiring ardent pe sonal
workers of this recently acquired as-
set to Hebb onville and Jim Hogg
copnty is. Judge W. A. Dannelley
Much cr>dit is due him for bringing
this deal to a successful realization

On Vacation.
Falfurrias Road To Be
Completed Soon
The lateral road which leads east
from Hebbronville to Falfunias a dis-
tance of some 40 miles will very soon
see activity again on its completion.
During last year quite a bit of worn
was done on this lateral road by a
Federal project and now it is under-
stood the Highway Department is tak-
ing over the work and will complete
the road.
This newly completed and muchly
needed throughfare will also prove to
be a most valuable asset to Hebbnon-
viUe since oil operations in the north-
western portion of H ooks county are
active and the distance from there to
Hebbronville will be ojvly a short dist-
ance.
