ROGER @. MILLS BIG INCOME,

Ex-senator Getting $4,000 a Month
From His Oil Wells.
A special to the New York Tribune from
Kansas City, Mo-, says: When Senator
Roger @. Mills of Texas retired to private
lifo a few years ago he was a poor man.
All that he owned was a farm adjoining
the town Of Corsicana. This piece of prop
erty was incumbered with large mort
gage. About this time the first oil strike
in the Corsicana district was made BY Can
tain Lucas. AS result of this discovery
land values In that region began to soar
skyward. Senator Mills held his farm and
entered Into an arrangement with practical
oil men for boring number of wells on
the place. Good flows Of oil were struck
In all these wells. and the field was grad
ually developed until ex-senator Mills
farm is now in the very heart of the Cor
sicana oil district. His income from these
wells soon aggregated several hundred dol
lars day. The number of wells on the
farm has been largely increased in the
last year, and 1t Is said that his net in

conceived the idea of making Of pow

was the water drawn off. but also all the

tion. All the owners Of ponds in the neigh

the owner of the pump Is making a special
ty of this kind OF work. He let's out one Of
his pumps. modified for this purpose, and
the peasants OF the region call 1t ''the fish

crawfish, together with dirt and debris such

receives the whole. The water and slime

almost conclusive proof that the skeletons
are those of members Of the historical Mar
vaez expedition, which was shipwrecked on
Malhado Island. near Galveston, Island
about 1885.
Narvaez and eighty men came to the new
world from Spain on an expedition of explo-
ration and in search Of gold. He and many
of his followers perished in the vicinity OF
Galveston Island and the remainder of the
party, led by Cabeza De Vaca, started west
ward in the fall of 1885, and four of them
including Cabeza De Vaca, finally reached
California.
Bancroft and other historians have diff
fered widely as to what route Cabeza De
Vaca and his party followed on their trip
to California, but the discovery of the skel-
etons. together with the relies bearing the
name of Narvaez and the date 1926, IS al
most conclusive proof that they belonged
to the Inflated expedition and that they
went to California by the southern route
The skeletons are in remarkably good

historic relics. 1t is supposed that the men
