Struck Oil in Clip Creek

After the adjournment of the board
meeting Secretary Lonergan received
an important telegram from Mr.. Wat
lington, dated Carlsbad, January "a, in
which he said Snyder has just ar
rived from the field. He says the
Mount brothers have struck strong
flow of oil in their we'll"
Mr.. Snyder is the president of the
Beaumont, Texas, oil company, that
has been in the field for some time,
arranging for extensive perations, and
Snyder as well as all other oil COM
pany representatives have been sitting
up watching the work of the Mount
brothers with special interest. The
Mount well is but little over 200 feet in
depth. The fact that the Mounts have
found oil at that depth indicates that
the oil is much closer to the surface
than was supposed by Mr.. Kellerman
and other experts who have gone over
the district. Many of the experts
agreed that the oil deposit would not be
found under depth of at least 700 feet,
but the ground is new to most oil men,
and they admit that predictions as to
the exact depth do not count for much.
The presence of oil in the sandstone
rock on the surface in the form of
globules, it is claimed by those now op-
Grating in the field, is a sure sign to
them that the oil is much nearer the
surface than is generally believed by
geological experts who have operated
in other districts where the earth and
rock formations are different from
those that exist in Eddy county.
The Watlington message about the
oil strike has aroused unbounded en-
thusiasm among the Carlsbad Consoli-
dated stockholders, and it is apparent
ly difficult for some of the gentlemen
to control their exuberant spirits.
In the light of present conditions and
bright prospects it is said that it i:
doubtful if any part of the company
stock will be placed on sale. 1t was
proposed a week ago to offer 1000
shares at from 20 cents to 40 cents g
share. A director stated last night thai
another meeting of the board would bt
necessary to determine about sale Of
stock.

OIL DISCOVERY
IN NEW MEXICO
MOUNT BROS. STRIKE IT RICH
UNDER 800 FEET
Local Effect Of the News and Manager
kellerman's Report-carlsbad
Consolidated Company Has
Bought Three Drills

Considerable business of Importance
was transacted at the meeting of the
directors of the Carlsbad Consolidated
Oil company, at which the president,
DIR. H. Burt Ellis, presided. The en-
tire board was in attendance to hear
the report of the general manager, j.
M. Kellerman. on the conditions as
viewed by him during his inspection
of the 1000 or more acres of oil lands
owned by the company in Eddy county,
New Mexico.
Immediate Action
Mr.. Kellerman's report, which has
appeared in these columns, was re-
ceived with much enthusiasm and by
unanimous vote of the directory it was
decided to act promptly on the recon-
mendations of Manager Kellerman. 1t
was voted to purchase at once three
OF the best oil drilling machines to be
had and begin the development of the
field. This means the outlay of large
sum of money for the machinery, the
transportation charges and the expense
of transporting the apparatus from
Carlsbad to the oil district in the Clip
creek belt, where Mr.. Kellerman be-
lieves the best results will be secured
at the earliest date.
While at Carlsbad Manager Keller
man, who had then decided that the
field was rich in oil deposits, conferred
with company that had a first-class
drilling outfit at that place and he en-
tered into negotiations for the pur-
chase of the property for the Consoli-
dated Oil company. Yesterday the deal
was closed by telegraph, and direc-
tons were sent to B. l.. Warrington,
the fiscal agent of the company, to ar
range for the carriage of the machinery
to the field. In the meantime Mr.. Kel-
lerman will purchase two of the best
drills to be found in Los Angeles and
forward them without delay to Carls-
bad.

Togo's Caution.

The report that Rojestvensky's fleet has
passed the Strait OF Formosa without en-
countering yice-Admlral Togo is intensc-
ly interesting. Formosa is an island be-
longing to Japan, having been ceded to
her In 1895 by China. The Strait OF
Formosa separates the island OF that
name from tho mainland OF China, and
q at Its narTowest part Is only about ninety
miles wide. IT was believed ny many

fleet there. and that the long expected
engagement would take place in those
waters. But II liojestyensky has. in fact.
