Dunn Well Strikes Half Million Feet of Gas
The Allan Dunn well at Sipe Springs in Central Texas struck approximately 500000 feet of gas at 2700 feet in the second sands of the field. Oil may still be found in deeper strata, with the main oil in the area expected at about three thousand feet. The gas hit boosts lease activity in the region regardless of immediate oil findings.

Comance Soon Linked by New Comance Oil Field Railway
A proposed railroad would run from Leon and Desdemona to Comanche through oil fields with Promoters H Burks and Worth backing a $150000 capital plan. Comanche would subscribe 100000 in stock and provide ten miles of right of way. A surveying crew would start within ten days of contract acceptance and field work within thirty days after right of way is set. The plan was discussed by the Chamber of Commerce and a joint meeting of affected towns, with future offices and shops to be established if built. The feasibility depends on unified action of the involved communities.
