OIL SANDS AND OIL FLOWS OF

The first authentic information the
Herald has received regarding the oil
fields situate below Bluff City. Utah.
is this:
1t is about rs miles from here to
Bluff. by the present wagon road, and
It is 25 miles from there to commence
ment OF the oil fields. which undoubt-
edly extend down the river from 75
TO 100 miles further.
Some three weeks ago. j. W. Yates
and II. S. Ashenhurst, president and
secretary. respectively, of the Yates
Il McClain Realty company OF Colo
rado Springs came and were Joined
by ex-Sheriff Adam Lewey and the
three went TO the oil fields. None of
them are novices in oil, but II requires
no expert to determine exact geologi-
cal conditions. because the river has
cut way down to depth of 700 or 500
feet through the soft shales and sand
stones. leaving exposed every layer
with distinctness. The party spent
-four days there and thorough inspec-
tioI and measurements We're made.

In another column is short review
of the business OF the Durango land
office during the ipcumbency of Hon.
r. Q. Perkins as register. IL not only
shows the volume OF business but !,
shows that this southwest section has
been growing rapidly In every way.
And there Is one pleasing feature in
the retirement of Mr.. Perkins. he does
SO with the good win of 90 per cent
of those who have had occasion TO do
business with the land office. Mr..
Perkins has handled the affairs of the
office remarkably satisfactory, his de
cisions being the result of honest In
vestigation based on law and as a
consequence very few adverse deci-
sions have come from the general land
office, and he will retire with one
OF the best records of any officer in
the interior department
As stated a few days ago, the writer
of this was aware Of the contemplated
resignation some time in advance. Mr..
Perkins had given the question con
siderable thought and talked IT over
with few friends, and although urged
to remain until the end of his term,
nine months hence, he said he could
not consistently do SO in justice to his
law clients. 1t was some time after
his determination to resign that a sug-
gesuon was made for Mr.. Perkins to
become candidate for the supreme
bench on the grounds that this south
west section is entitled TO recognition
and because OF his thorough knowledge
of law and fairness In rendering land
decisions during the past nine years.
And the bar of the southwest counties
could not back a cleaner or more con
scientious man for supreme court
Judge.

From the foregoing, 1t will be noted
that no better oil flows from any por-
ton OF the universe. Our own knowl-
edge is that those same big oil fields
extend from the Rio San Juan south
into the Moqui Indian reservation,
located in the north central portion
of Arizona. and, undoubtedly. much
farther south. Out there where the
bucks fiirt with their adored ones
rattlesnakes clinched firmly in their
lips whirling madly through amazing
waltzes, we have found miles upon
miles OF thoroughly granulated red
hematite Of iron in winrows of from
3 to, 20 feet high. Coal is abundant.
ON the west slope Of Calabasa range
our horse waded ankle deep through
oil for a mile or more. In the vast
valley, sandy reaches, our Indian guide
would frequently halt and lead us to
veritable fountains of pure, cold wa
ter that arose from the level plain,
flow few feet and again lose itself
in the sands, which conclusively prov
ed that short artesian bores will be

that show nothing now but desola-
