STILL THINK OIL IS
To Be FOUND At
SANTA ROSA
BiSbee, Afizp Men Enthusiastic.
Over Prospects on the Perea
Land Grant Owned by AIbu-
QuerQue Man.

| That oil in paying quantities exists
on the Perea land grant near Santa
Rosa. in Guadalupe county, is the be-
lief of a company of Bisbee, Arizona,
men who have been prospecting that
grant for several months, holding it
under lease from DR., George w.
Harrison of Albuquerque, the owner.
The Bisbee Review says of the VEN
ture:
Yesterday morning the party of To-
cal business men, composed of M j..
Cunningham, L. c. Shattuck and b.
NJ. Pattison, returned to the city from
Santa Rosa New Mexico, where they
spent a few days looking over the
holdings of the Perea Oil company in
which they are heavily interested.
Hoval A. Smith, the local capitalist
who was also a member of the party
on the return trip. went to the prop
erty of the Copper Gulf company
near silver City, New Mexico
All of the members Of the party
seemed to be very well satisfied with
the result of their trip of inspection,
and seemed to be more confident than
ever that before very long the Perea
land grant, which consists of thou
sands of acres, will be developed in a
great oil producing district.
About a year ago some local men
became interested in a small amount
of ground near santa Rosa, where it
was believed oil in commercial quaint
ties could be found if the necessary
depth was attained. Different parties
of locators went to New Mexico, ana
when well known experts passed ia
vorably on the ground, there was
rush for locations.
The Perea land grant, remnant OF
the old Spanish rule in New Mexico,
formed the principal portion of what
was considered the oil bearing district,
and finally a company was formed
here to purchase this tract of land,
which includes thousands of acres.
This was accomplished, and prepare
tons were made for developing the
ground.
The work has been in charge of
Allen Craig a well known expert. and
has progressed rapidly. The drill is !
now down $50 feet. and the indica-
tons are very favorable, although
hose interested do not expect to strike
/ permanent supply of oil before a
iepth Of 1900 feet is attained. Only !
me well is being sunk at the present |
line.

The curious fact that the only de-
partment of the federal government
which directly looks after the public
health is the treasury department, was
disclosed when the American Medical
association, whose headquarters are IN
Chicago, seriously took up the crea-
ton of a department Of health as a
governmental institution As the CAD
met is considered already unwieldy'
the public health will necessarily be-
come the function Of bureau in
denartment already established. Su-
pervision of quarantine regulation,
peculiar duty for the financial end OF
a government, began years ago when
the mercantile marine was considered
more important than it is now Hos
pitfalls were established for the crews
Of the trading vessels, and this grew
into quarantine inspection.

Those who studied John r. Walsh
through his ordeal of trial on charges
that threatened prison and disgrace
found him more of an enigma in the
limelight than out of it. He seemed
incapable of thinking that defeat was
possible and even after the jury went
out to decide his fate he turned un-
concernedly to resume business mat
ters to calmly dictate letters and de-
eide railroad questions. When he was
on the witness stand he showed diff
fidence, from an obvious sense that
he was unaccustomed to that sort of
thing, And yet he was arrogantly de-
fiant; when the trial was nearly over
he said he had enjoyed ii all, that he
would be sorry when it was ended.
Then he added that "of course he
would be acquitted" and evidently be-
lieved it, When he smiled his face
lighted up like a boys, but in repose
there was a weary look in his deep
set eyes and about his deeply-lined
features When his attorneys began to
worry that a quick verdict was not
returned he told them they were mis-
taken, and still assumed without even
uneasiness that the verdict would be
favorable to him.

The Scott Case

The cOroner's jury that investigated
the Bullion killing returned verdict
yesterday afternoon that the name of the
deceased was Clement Juidici, native
of Switzerland, aged about 80, years and
that he came to his death on June 9th
from wound inflicted by knife in
the hands of Christian Scott.
The evidence showed that Scott and
Jindici were alone in the house when
the stabbing took place and that both
were very drunk. Jiudici never told
anything about the affair except to say
that Scott stabbed him and that Scott
was his best friend
After the jury rendered its verdict,
District Attorney Caine began the
preliminary examination of Scott on
the charge of murder. All the wit
nesses from Bullion were examined last
night and Il continuance was then
taken until Monday. Scott is still in
Jail.

The OKLAHOMA WAY

The following report on an Oklahoma
bank failure shows the way they do
things in that demoratic common
wealth:
THE international Bank Of Coalgate
was reported to the bank commissioner
for violating the banking law of the
state, particularly III its managing
officers borrowing from the depostors'
money.
THE bank commissioner at once
visited the bank in person and found
that the total deposits were about $37,
600, of which the president, L. A. Con-
nors, owed over SO, 600, and the cashier,
L. Ely. owed over $4,OOO-in other
words, about thirty per cent of the
deposits had been borrowed by the two
managing officers. The bank commits
sioner demand that they Immediately
replace the money. They failed to do
so. He closed the bank at 2:15 Thurs
day evening; telephOned the state bank
ing board; received instructions to I'M
mediately proceed to pay all approved
deposits. In fortytwo minutes from
the closing of the bank the bank COM
missioner was ready to pay approved
deposits. By Friday evening sixty per
cent of the depositors had appeared,
proved their claims and received their
money. By the end of the second day
ninety per cent of all deposits had been
paid. a few dcpositors who live in the
country don't seem to be in any hurry
about drawing their deposits. One
farmer is reported as answering over
the Rural telephone that he is too busy
to come after his money, but will want
it i'm Il week or so.
In the meantime both the president
and the cashier have been arrested for
the violation of the state banking law,
and are held under heavy bond.
There will probably be no loss to
the state guaranty fund, and no assess
ment required Oh other banks. LIQUID.
alton will likely reimburse the state
!und within thirty days. The loss will
probably not exceed the capital stock. +"

The Mckinney Case

Attorney Tabor appeared before Judge
irure Friday evening and filed motion
Tor IL new trial. After argument, by
counsel, the motion was overruled He
then filed Il motion in arrest Of iudg-
ment. The argument on this motion
was continued until Saturday morning
at $50. AT 1910 Saturday morning the
motion was argued by counsel and de-
MED by the court. Judge Bruce then
sentenced Mckinney to serve thirty
days in Jail and fined him $3.50, with
the privilege of serving it out i'm Jail ut
the rate of 81 day.
The defense then filed notice of ap-
peal and Judge Bruce fixed the bond at
$500.
The Judgment in this case may seem
severe to some and to others it may
not seem severe enough. but to the IN
DEPENDENT it seems to answer the de-
mands of justice. 1t is none to severe
for the offense committed.

ct, gets drunk and acts in such u man
ner that peaceable citizens send for an
officer to disarm him and when the of.
Rcer appears he draws the weapon on
him and dares him to take It, he IL q
dangerous man to be ut large. This, in
short, is what Mr.. Mckinney did on the
night of June 2nd.
After lengthy trial, in which his at

torncy exhausted every effort to secure
AM aquittal, Mr.. Mckinney was con-
yiated The verdict was in accord with
the evidence and the punishment given
him by Judge Bruce measures up to the
verdict Judge and jury deserve the
thanks of the community for their eff
forts to maintain law and order.
There is one feature of the case, how
ever, That the INDEPENDENT regrets.
That is the injury that Mr.. Mckinney
received at the time of his arrest. He
resisted arrest and was struck on the
head with a cane by Constable Ouder-
kirk. The blow was q heavy one and
Mr. Mckinney still shows it's effects.
This punishment he could have avoided
by submitting to the officers. That he
did not do and the blow he received is
the direct result of his conduct.
The verdict of the jury and the judg-
ment of the court meet with the aD-
prevail of the law abiding element of
this community. Elko has long since
passed the stage where men can commit
.crime, defy the officers and hope to es-
CAPE ipunishment. Those days will never
return and the criminally inclined will
do well to make note Of
The arrest, conviction and punish
ment of Mr.. Mckinney on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons should be
an incentive to the officers to break up
the practice. The men who carry guns,
slingshots and other deadly weapons
about their persons, do SO with the in
tention of using them. They fill up on
whiskey, insult peaceable citizens and,
if their insults are resented, draw their
weapons and use them. Such men de-
serve no sympathy and the law should
he strictly enforced against them.
