being PIP inches, or 102 inches more
than the normal But there have been

York during that time. There We're 13
partly cloudy days and IA clear days

grees on May g. The greatest daily

OIL in EDDY COUNTY.
At Least Three Wells for Oil Will Go
Down Soon.

OOWu AVOAs
Hon. U, S. Bateman of Carlsbad, who
is in the city, is interested In two Oil
companies which are about ready to
begin boring for oil in the foothills five
says that the indications for oil in the
Pecos valley below Carlsbad extending
into Texas, are very favorable. Last
year, D. D. Clark in prospecting for
building stone while making an excav-
alton discovered unmistakable signs of
OIL He sent specimens to California
for analysis and for six weeks before
anyone in Carlsbad was aware of it, a
California oil expert was at work west
of the town and located about 450 acres
of land. AS soon as this began to be
known, the land round about was To-
Gated by Carlsbad and several Omaha
people. The California investors are
about to dig water wells preparatory
to boring for oil. About sixty Carlsbad
people have pooled their interests and
formed the Carlsbad Syndicate Oil Co.,
which by this time has sold $500
worth of stock, the money to be expen-
ded in boring for oil. The Omaha in
vestors together with several Carlsbad
people have organized the Pecos Valley
Standard Oil Co., which has sold $500
worth of shares and is about to sell a
block of 10000 shares for $4,000 and will
then also commence to bore for oil.
There is no doubt therefore that within
short time several wells will go down
and as the indications are so favorable,
there seems to be no doubt that oil of
commercial value will be struck.

Surveying the Fernando. Grant.

Jay Tur1ey deputy o. s. mineral sur
veyor, surveying the Fernandez Grant
in Taos county, experienced considerable
difficulty in establishing the corners, as
some of the monuments were plowed up
and moved. In this survey it appeared
also that the original boundary line of
the Pueblo reservation extends south
half mile below Taos and not as is
generally believed one mile above, where
the burying ground is situated. Mr..
Turley is now awaiting instructions
from the government to establish the
north line of the Fernandez grant as in
a former survey the north line was laid
one-quarter of a mile into the reserva-
tiOn.

NO THIRD TERM
FOR M'KINLEY
With Clear Gut Words and Lofty
Sentiments He Sets Forth
His Convictions.
WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE
The President Would Not Accept the Nom
ination for Third Term Even
Though it We're rendered
Him by the Party.

Washington, June II. President Nc
Kinley decided not to be candidate for
third term.
A CLEAR CUT STATEMENT.
Washington, June 1.-THE following
statement was given out at the White
house: II regret that the suggestion of
a third term has been made. l doubt
whether / am called upon to give it no.
tice. But there are now questions of
the gravest Importance before the ad-
ministration and the country and their
just consideration should not be pre-
JUDGED in the public mind by even the
suspicion of thought of a third term.
In view therefore, of the reiteration of
the suggestion of it, I will say now,
once for all, expressing a long settled
conviction, that / not only am not and
will not be a candidate for the third
term, but would not accept the nominal
ton for it, if it We're rendered me.
my only ambition is to serve through
my second term to the acceptance OF
my countrymen, whose generous conf
dence | deeply appreciate, and then
with them to do my duty in the ranks
of private citizenship.
"WM. MCKINLEY"
IT WAS NO SURPRISE.
Washington, June n.--President Nc
Kinley's official announcement this
morning disposing of the third term
idea suggested by some of his admir-
ers, created no great surprise among
his friends who have known his deep
convictions on the subject The pres
ident last night officially informed the
members of the cabinet who had been
called together of his decis-
ion. 1t met hearty approval. There
was a unanimous concurrence in the
belief that a discussion of third term
for the president, if allowed to go on,
would not only place the president In
a false light before the country, but
would arouse antagonism and badly
the administration in the
solution of the great questions before it,
