IN ARTISAN BELT
More Development of Wells Planned and Another New Townslte
 to Be Located

It looks as though the northwestern end of Imperial Valley may soon be dotted with wells and townsites Both have been planned with freedom which argues we'll for speedy devel- opment of that district.
 Last week Matthews & Ellis took to the district their well-boring rig, which they had built in Bl Centro, and hauled out several loads of steel casing. Their first well will be sunk on the school section owned by Felix G. Ravens and F. s. Matthews, but as soon as this is completed work is to be started on others in the i'm mediate vicinity, and the firm has contracts for the sinking of eight wells as soon as possible.
 Among those who will put down wells are William Kelly, nurseryman of Fl Centro and Imperial; c. R. El- lis, George W. Allen, w. L. Lurvey, and Raymond S. Julian. The first of these wells will be four inches in diameter, but the rig is capable of sinking a ten-inch hole.
 F. s. Matthews will put in a store on the Havens & Matthew's land, on section 26, township 12 south range 8 east, just across the line in San Diego county, and they expect later to open townsite there.
 The Press recently told of the loca- tion of the townsite of Cooper at the junction of Carisso Creek and San Fe- lipe Creek, and now comes the news that Messrs. Scott, Mansfield and Her rin, of the Grant building Los An geles, are completing plans for the location of a townsite in the same district, about five miles southwest of Harper's We'll They also will bring in we'll boring machine at once.
 Numerous parties have gone out from Brawley, Imperial and Fl Centro the past week to the new district, and it is said that many land filings have been made. Griswold 6 Beal, of Brawley have been instrumental in locating many claimants, and L. Coop CT of Fl Centro has taken out numer- ous parties.

BONES ON THE DESERT
Skeletons of Miners, Missing Many Years Found in Eastern Part of
 County.

In the discovery of two skeletons of men at the base of the mountains, near the northeastern corner of I'm perial County in the Colorado River region, Doc" Carter, of Yuma, be- lieves he has nraveled the mystery of the two missing Frenchmen, miners, who for many years have been talked of in Yuma.
 Carter has returned from trip up the river and a prospecting tour through the mountains, bringing back to Yuma evidences of his find. The skeletons were close together and in perfect form, and close by Carter picked up silver watch of the Wal than make, an fashioned pros pector's pick and an old make of Spencer rife.
 The story goes that about thirty six years ago two Frenchmen went out from Yuma to prospect up the Colorado River, and later they re- turned with sacks filled with mar velously rich gold ore, which they freely showed while securing a stock of provisions. They refused, however, to give any definite knowledge of the location of their find, except to indi- cate that it was up the river, and soon started back to the desert.
 This was the kast seen of the French men, although some of Yuma's citi- zens, with imaginations fired by the prospect of getting in on the same To- cations, made numerous trips up the river, but without avail
 Carter believes that the skeletons he found are those of the missing Frenchmen, and that they must have been in the vicinity of their gold dis covery when they perished. He will spend some time in searching the re- zion, with the hope of locating their find. He brought back to Yuma the gun, watch and pick, where they are now on exhibition at local store.

THE DIAMOND CONTEST

The big cooperative diamond con.
test is still holding the interest of a
large number of our citizens, as will
be noted by the continued large votes
cast for the respective contestants at
Wednesdays count
Each week sees new people in the
game, as the contestants are hard at
work, and are letting no opportunity
pass for securing coupons.
The patrons of the various con-
Germs interested in the giving away of
these three pretty diamonds don't
have a chance to forget that the big
contest is on all the time, as the can
didates and their friends are con-
stantly or the lookout for the pink
slips"
The intense interest being taken
by the contestants and their friends
is proof that efforts of the various
firms interesting in the giving away
of these valuable prizes are appreciat-
ed, and that the pretty diamonds are
worthy quite a good deal of effort to
secure.
No one who is not wide awake, up
and doing need expect the beautiful
rings, as there are those in the con-
test who are willing to exert some
interest and work 70 secure them.
Wednesdays vote leaves the follow
ing as the summary of the standing
of candidates to date:
