Dallas News.
Dr. A. D. Lloyd, oil geologist
of Fort Worth, head of the
Lloyd Oil Corporation, the man
who made the location for
Joiner No. 8 near Henderson in
Rusk county, which has held
the center of attention cf the
oil fraternity of the entire
Southwest for the last two
weeks, Saturday related some
of the experiences of his asao-
fields stretching from Cement
to Wichita Falls.
Next time Doc Lloyd made a
location in the Newkirk field in
Kay county, Oklahoma, and
again the drill found oil. Kum
ber three strike was in the
Earlshoro field—the great Sem-
inole pool—but Joiner encoun-
tered ill luck and lost the hole
just before striking pay, and
the pool got away from him.
Saturday, Sept 6, 1930, Doc
Lloyd again made good, and
the location he made for Joiner
No. 3 in Rusk county, hear
Henderson, showed oil in a
drill stem test. This test dur-
ing the last two weeks has been
the center of interest of the oil
t^tiT“ W'locatiorf Jfftra ju,°k fraternity of the entire Soath-
county test.
Lloyd said the Rusk county
well is the fourth location he
has made for Mr. Joiner which
has struck major pay.
Doc Lloyd and C. M. (Dad)
Joiner first threw in together
when the former drove a stake
for the young contractor,
Joiner, in rank wildcat territory
in what is now the Cement field
in Caddo county, Oklahoma.
Published opinion of experts
then was that there was no oil
in Oklahoma west of the out-
crop, of the Permian red beds.
The location that found the Ce-
ment pool was seventy-five
miles west of the dead line es-
tablished by opinion of geolo-
gists and oil men. The dis-
covery • at Cement resulted in
the opening of a chain of ofl
200 feet farther south in order
to get away from the slush pits,
water and mud of the first and
second wells, and sunk their
third test. Even the most
skeptical in the oil fraternity
frankly are of the opinion that
the No. 3 will be a producer.
"Oil is encountered here un-
der geological conditions differ-
ent from any other field in Tex-
as or Louisiana,” Dr. Lloyd
said. “In my opinion, there is
a trough of salt basin extending
north by east across several
couhties in Texas—about fifty
miles wide. On the west side
of this basin formations rise to
the Baleones fault and on the
east side they rise to the Sabine
uplift, which lies along the
Texas-Louisiana line. We have
a number of producers on the
Sabine uplift.
"On the east side of the Bal-
arkana in a northeast and
southwest line, and will be
about a county and a half in
width.”
Officers Start Drive to Dry Up
Sources of University liquor
Dr. Lloyd first came over into
Rusk county four years ago and
made a location for the Joiner
No. 1 on the Daisy Bradford 1,- cones fault, different companies
000-acre tract, seven miles
southeast of Overton, and
about 250 feet north of the dis-
covery strike, the Joiner No. 3.
Mr. Joiner and sons lost that
hole at a depth of 1,900 feet,
eo they skidded the derrick fif-
ty feet south and drilled Joiner
No. 2 to a depth of 2,546 feet,
where the hole was again lost.
A showing of oil was encounter-
ed in the No. 2 at a depth of 1,-
437 feet, according to Dr.
Lloyd. After the tools were
lost In Joiner No. 2 and the well
had to be abandoned, again
the Joiners persisted, feeling
certain that oil was beneath
them, so they skidded the rig
Austin, Sept. 20.—State and
local officers were united Fri-
day to dry up the sources of the
liquor supply of University at
Texas students.
Shortly after a raid led by
state rangers, in which a 100-
gal lor still was seized, Gover-
nor Dan Moody announced he
was preparing a proclamation
