New Fields of Oil and
Gas Being Developed

made favorable twenty or thirty
carloads more of machinery will
be shipped here at once from
Bakersfield and other points In
! California. If the Sante Fe does
not make adequate concessions
their outfits from the Beaumont
field will be shipped via Southern
Pacific and T. P. roads, Tests
made from oil found in the shall
low wells long ago abandoned by
stockmen of that section show
fine Illuminating qualities, which
is an increased incentive to devel-
opment. A pipe line to Ell Paso
from this field is being arranged
for by these capitalists already,
which will be of immense value
to that city Of promise. 1t has
been no little task for these wide
awake gentlemen to. make such
thorough investigation of so ex-
tensive a section and then to have
it accurately surveyed by a dep
uty United States surveyor with
in twelve months time, find the
requisite number Of eligible citi-
zens of the United States to To-
cate so many sections, and then
have all these holdings put upon
record in the office of the probate
clerk Of this county. Yet all this
has been done Systematically, eff
fectually and legally, and as was
purposely intended, very quietly,
for you will agree with me that
it goes without saying "that was
business. Parties disposing of
claims are now getting fair prices.

and oil men in general:
Editor Oil Review:
Dear Sir:-It may be of pass
ing interest, at least, for such OF
your readers who still may be on
the lookout for new fields of oil
and gas development to now
know that the section of country
7 mentioned in a communication
to your paper a year or two ago
that seemed rich in surface indica-
ton of oil and gas has at last
been recognized as such during
the last twelve months through
the patient and careful investiga-
ton of practical oil men sent
here by capitalists from Southern
California. These men have
thought so we'll of their findings
that a part of southwest Eddy
county, this territory, has been Sc.
cured by them for the purpose OF
putting in proper machinery in
order to reach the oil rock. This
land is held under the placer min
ing laws of the United States, and
the territory Of New Mexico.
These Californians have in one
body about $4,000 acres, while To-
cal companies here have fully
10000 more acres Of ground that
promises equally well to amply
reward the intelligent and indus
trious seeker for cheap fuel. Sew
eral drills are already here which
were sent on from their fields in
California. If freight rates are

Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edv the Best Made.

elm my opinion Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is the best made
for colds," says Mrs. Cora Walk
er of Porterville, Cal. There is
no doubt about it's being the best.
No other will cure a cold so quick
ly. No other is so sure a proven
tive of pneumonia. No other is so
pleasant and safe to take. These
are good reasons why it should
be preferred to any other. The
fact is that few people are salts
fed with any other after having
once used this remedy. For sale

pear If Sistersville Follows
This Woman's Plan.
| A woman's back has many
aches and pains.
Most times tits the kidneys
fault.
Backache is really kidney ache.
That s why Doan s Kidney Pills
cure it.
Many Sistersville women know
this.
Read what this woman has to
say about it:
Mrs. Frank Fletcher, wife of
Frank Fletcher, packer in the
enamel works, living at the corner
of Third street and Washington
avenue, says: eff a severe pain IN
the small of the back just across
the loins which chung to me per-
sistently for some time is any in
dication of kidney complaint,
then | had it far too long to be
pleasant. Doan's Kidney Pills
came to my notice and I went to
a drug store for a box. Relief
followed the treatment quickly
and finally the aching ceased.
This was not my first acquaint-
anceship with Doan's Kidney
Pills for Mr.. Fletcher used the
remedy two years ago for pain
and lameness in his back. The
results he obtained from its use
positively proved that as a spe-
cifc for the kidneys it cannot be
equaled.

and work is now being done on it.
For the immediate present the
operation of the new quarry is
pretty much on it's present scale,
but of course is to be incr eased

This is considered a most valua-
bic property and will be especial-
ly so since it has fallen into the

tlemen.
