Gallup Oil Company.

: The Journal Democrat, of Albu-
qurque, has considerable to say in
a recent issue about the Gallup Oil
! Company, the officers of which near
ly all live in Winslow. w. H. Bur,

The oil fields are eighteen miles
northeast~of Gallup, The company
has acquired locations covering $40
of the most promising land there.
The formation is stratified aud
sedimentary, consisting of sandstone
shale, coal, etc. A sandstone strata
exposed for long distance on the
brow of a hill contains a layer of
sandstone, ten or more feet thick
! full of petroleum indications. The
rock of this layer is bleached and
white on the outside, but when
broken into it is brown and all of it
is saturated with oil or has the in
dications of dried up oil. In a short
! tunnel run into this, the petroleum
oozes out of,the sandstone. There
are several barrels of oil in the bot
tom of the tunnel. This oil. from
exposure and evaporation has be-
come thick, and is of the consisten-
cy of tar or thick syrup.
There is already a great demand
for stock among people who have
heard Of the proposition. The mem.
bers of the company have, been
working quietly avoiding publicity.
and have thus secured the most
promising lands upon which to
operate. Now they don't care who
hears Of their intentions, which are
to thoroughly test the question
as to whether or not oil exists il

The Journal-Democrat said the Lo;

War and Dyspepsin.

One Of the good effects Of war is that
it cures the worst forms of dyspepsia.
Many officers who are the despair Of
their medical attendants while spend
ing their days bet ween the club and the
barracks. come home from campaign
with stomach like the ostricb's, This,
Of course, arises from the eNc1c else, the
open-air life, the constant mental en-
ployment, and very often the short
commons. Another good effect is the
rather strange one that war cures
nervousness of the ordinary kind, as
we'll as headaches and neuralgia. In
fact, if man has any kind of health at
the start. nothing braces him up like
an exciting campaign. But, on the
other hand. if any Of his organs are
really weak he runs every chance OF
leaving his bones in foreign parts
