Boring for Oil in Santa Cruz.

From the subjoined, which we clip
from the Santa Cruz Sentinel, it will be
seen that our old townsman, Mr.. r. G.
Mcpherson. is engaged in developing
the oil resources OF Santa Cruz county.
Mr.. MCPHERSON, our citizens will re-
member. was an early and firm believer
in the rich petroleum deposits of the San
Fernando district, and it was largely
owing to his persistent efforts that the
Messrs. Scofeld & Tevis were induced
to invest their capital in that district, an
investment which has resulted in such
rich returns to those gentlemen. That
Mr.. MCPHERSON is "rustler" has been
amply proven by his labors here, and
we heartily wish he may meet with the
same success in his new field.
A gang of men, under the superin-
tendence Of r. c. Mcpherson, are oper-
ating in Green Valley, this county, on
land of Ma J. Dorm. The tract on
which they are drilling is known as the
GAG tract, of a section Of 10000 acres
they have under control, and the latest
venture of Mr.. MCPHERSON is known as
the Mcpherson Jumbo. Five men are
employed, who have reached at present
a depth of over $50 feet. The drilling
is done by steam power, which is sup
piled by a twenty-horse locomotive
boiler and a fifteen horsepower engine.
The derrick over the hole is eighty feet
high, with base of twenty-five feet
With what results this new venture will
meet remains to be seeu. Mr.. McPher-
son has charge also Of the Majors Creek
drilling party, who have attained a
depth Of nearly 1000 feet, without any
oil as yet, but with good indications
Casing is being put in this week, which
necessitates the discontinuance of drill.
ing Next week they expect to start uE
with renewed energy Mr.. Mcpherson
is inoefatigable in his labors, and il
there is any oil in this county he is the
man who will find it. We hope he will
be successful in his efforts, not alone fol
himself and the company he represents
but for the good of Santa Cruz county,
opening up, as it will, a new industry
which will increase our wealth aud give
employment to many men.

A Man Goes over the Fails

And disappears beneath the foamiug bill
lows, This afternoon about half-past
o'clock, a fine-looking. well-dressed gem
tleman was seen walking across the sus-
pension bridge with cigar in his mouth,
smoking quite leisurely. There was
nothing strange in his manner and the
people on the bridge thought of nothing
wrong until they saw him leap from
the bridge, over the railing, into the
mighty waters beneath. The people on
the bridge were awe-struck and power
less to render him any assistance, and
with feelings of deep sorrow and tears
in their eyes, they stood silently watch
ing him as he struggled with the
rushing waters, and as he was carried
into the roaring cataract, they noticed
that he was still putting away at one OF
those famous "Tansill's Punch" Cigars,
Havanah filed, which he purchased al
the Postoffice Cigar Store, for only five
cents. july3l-tf.

But We Compete. All the same.

The Daily Times, which has been
making an attempt to injure our farmers
on the. potato question, came out yester'
day morning with another screed cal.
culated to injure our trade, provided in
terested parties should believe it. This
article says that prominent potato
firm Of New Mexico states that the Kan
sas potatoes are seventy cents sack
cheaper than those from Los Angeles
Granting this 10 be true, the fact re
mains that fine white potatoes are
shipped to the territories from here,
daily, at profit The solution of the
problem is probably the fact that the
potatoes raised On high mesa land in
this county are dry, mealy and nearly
perfect. and command a ready sale in
New Mexico at highef price than the
watery potato Of the Kansas plains.

Fink Answers Armour 6 Co.'s Protest Against
an Advance in Dressed Beef Rates.
Commissioners Fink has addressed a lengthy
letter to Messrs. Armour & Co., Chicago H., in
reply to The latters protest against an advance
In dressed beef rates. He discusses the question
very fully, but advances but one argument in
favor of the proposed advance in rates. which
really Is worthy OF serious consideration He
says the railroad companies will find it very
difficult to ascertain what is the relative cost of
carrying these commodities. The cost would
differ every road. BY reason of the equip
ment and facilities already in existence upon
one road, by reason of the peculiar character of
Erattc in return cars, one road NAV he able to
carry live stock at half the cost per 100 pounds
at which 1t could carry dressed beef. This would
not be satisfactory to shippers; nor would il be
satisfactory 20 the other roads. One road might
be able for similar reasons TO carry dressed beef
as cheapy or cheaper than 1t could carry live
stock. This would not be satisfactory to live
stock shippers; nor would IL be acceptable TO
some of the other railroads II Is not so simple "A
problem as IL may at first sight appear to reconcile
all these conflicting interests. one thing is GER
aain, however the public is entitled to reason
able rates OF transportation. This point being
granted. the relative adjustment Of livestock
and dressed beef rates Is in which the rail-
roads and the dressed-heef and livestock ship
pers are particularly interested.
