Much Drilling in
Panola County.
Shreveport Times
L. E. Van Sindt of Panola
county, Texas, largely interested
in oil development in that sec-
tion, was in Shreveport yester-
day. According to a statement
made by him last night, drilling
on quite a large scale has com-
menced in Panola county.
The active operations, accord-
ing to Mr. Van Sandt, have stim-
ulated other wildcatters, and
practically all the available land
in that section has been bought
and leased by prospective opera-
tors and speculators. “The op-
erations,” he says, “are not con-
fined to and one particular spot
but extend all over the county.
“The National company, drill-
ing 5 miles south of Clayton, has
set casing.
“The Transcontinental has a
new location and a derrick one-
half mile east of C|ayton and is
waiting for machinery,
‘‘The National has two-new
locations and derricks two and
five miles from Clayton respect-
ively.
“The Independent company
has contracted for three wells
five miles from Carthage.
“The Texas company has a
new location and derrick one and
one-half miles south of Bethany.
“The Gulf company has a new
location two miles northwest of
Bethany.
“The Texas company is drill-
ing Waterman No, 8, near De-
Berry.”
Numerous companies are being
formed, Mr. Van Sandt says, and
an unprecedented era of drilling
is anticipated.
New Well in Shelby County.
Center Champion.
The oil interest received new
interest Saturday when it was
announced that Pickering No. 10,
Shelbyville field,had been brought
in. Rumors were rather wild
about the weil at first and much
interest was manifest. A liner
was put in the well as quickly as
possible and it will be several
days yet before its real value can
be ascertained.
Those who are in close touch
with the workings of the well say
that it is possibly the best well
of the field, better no doubt than
No. 7 first gave evidence of be-
ing and if this forecast comes
true it will be some well, since
No. 7 atone time gave evidence
of being a big one. No. 7, how-
ever is yet a speculative proposi-
tion and may yet be brought to
life. No. 10 is some 2,600 feet
deep and has been handled with
much care and it is hoped that it
will prove, beyond doubt, that oil
in big paying quantities can be
located in this field.
Crane company proposes to drill
in the same hole sunk by Reese
Lamb, if possible, but if found
impractible, they would use the
same derrick and drill a new hole
from the surface within a few
feet of the old hole. The Reese
Lamb well was not considered a
fair test, as the well was drilled
only 2,850 feet and was abandon-
ed in a very favorable strata on
account of insufficient funds.
Reports have come to Marshall
that the Texas company has in-
structed its-head driiler at the
Gibson well, south of Blocker, to
drill the well to a depth of 4,000
feet if necessary. If this is done
Harrison county will certainly
have a fair test for the precious
fluid that “glitters like gold” and
is gold.
Test Well Near Timpson.
Timpson Times.
Complete equipment for the test
well southeast of town has arrived
and will be placed on the grounds
as soon as possible. The proposi-
tions are being financed by the
Eldo-Peko Oil company. This com-
pany was brought in touch with
East Texas prospects through the
efforts of A. M. Shelton of this city.
As announced yesterday the drill-
er and crew of workmen have ar
rived and will get to work in real
earnest as soon as machinery can
be placed on the location and
erected.
We are informed that there will
be several other test wells put down
adjacent to Timpson during the
spring and summer of 1920.
The Texas Colony.
The Texas Colony, composed of
four charming young bachelor girls
from the Lone Star state, who re-
sponded to the lure of the DeSoto
oil boom, and came to Mansfield to
join in the wild chase after the al-
mighty dollar, are all back at their
posts of duty after spending Christ-
mas at their Texas homes. They
are Miss Kate Jones of Avinger,
who holds down an impartant posi-
tion in the recorder’s office; Miss
Doris Odom makes pot hooks, spiral
curves and manipulates the type-
writer in the law office of E. P. Lee*
Esq. Miss Odom hails from Mar-
shall. Misses Pauline Ross and
Audrey VanSandt, of Carthage,
both with the DeSoto Abstract Co.,
complete the colony. They are all
efficient business women, but are
nevertheless a jolly bunch, and
make things lively and pleasant at
Mrs. Guy’s boarding house, where
they get their eats.—Mansfield (La.)
