The Wilson No. 1 well on the Jim P. Wilson ranch in Brewster County Texas reached 1704 feet with several showings of sands and oil above that depth. Presidio Oil Co of Arizona led by directors Grant Jones and Dross G rore say rumors are exaggerated and plan to drill more wells across leased lands including the Jim P. Wilson ranch. Geologist Knipe notes the upper cretaceous formation yields oil and the company, backed by Arizona capital, intends thorough testing of the Brewster field as staff travel between Alpine Temple and Marfa.
