RALPH ARNOLD STARTS
WORK ON WATER CASE

COALINGA, Feb. 24.-Ralph Arnold,
the geologist, who has been commits
stoned by the section 6 operators to
make an investigation into the water
problem which is confronting them,
has begun work, and r. p. McLaugh-
lin, who will assist him, is buSily en-
gagged making graphical logs of the
wells.
Mclaughlin has completed the logs
of the Red Top, Los Angeles Coalinga
and Shreeves wells, and is now work
ing on the jefferson Nos. l and 2 and
Lucille Nos. l, 2 and 8. As soon as all
the preliminary and graphical logs can
be finished they will be gone over for
comparison with the written logs by
drillers and operators on the section,
in order to have all absolutely correct
before a cross section is made.
The logs, as far as lone over, show
material differences in formation, but
it is hoped that when the maps are
made and gone over for comparison
they will all tally to a certain extent.
AS some drillers call different forma-
! tions by different names, it is expected
that the differences in the drilling logs
can be easily overcome in this way.
When this part of the work is COM
p1eted, q cross section will be made OF
the territory, showing the relative po-

be an easy matter for the operators TO
see just where they are at all times
without having to consult q log Whlch
may be misunderstood by them.
The biologists are also trying TO get
at the cause of the present trouble ana
to that end will need every detail OF
each casing report, how many reef
used of each size, and where LANDED
and cut off; also the exact location ana
number of feet of perforattons. Inc
reason for this is that when the cross
sections are made the geologists can
work intelligently upon the several wa
ter theories advanced by the operators
In making each graphical log the geol-
ogists are weighing every item bearing
upon the water question.
ShreeVes' Log Is Missing
The log Of the Shreeves well is the
one made in redrilling, and 1t cannot
be taken much into consideration eX-
cept for general comparison. The orig
inal log of the well has been misplaced.
The wells of adjoining territory
which seem likely to have any pear
ing upon the section case Will pc
also plated, so that when the work
is finished it will be complete IN
every form.
Arnold and Mclaughlin have had
no trouble whatever in getting desired
information from the several operators,
and the continuance of such courtesy
will hasten the completion of the work.
which will be OF vast service 10 the
operators on section and adjoining
territory.

SPELLACY RUNS FO0TRACE
AS GENTLE ZEPHYRS BLOW

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 24.-Tim Spell
lacy spent a cold night between dark
Friday and o'clock Saturday morning
colder then when election returns
come in those presidential years in
which Spellacy figures out sure vic
tory for Democracy. He was in an
automobile en- route from Los Angeles,
and up near the mouth of the Tejon
canyon the car hit a rock which put
it out of commission.
Spellacy and his fellow passengers
tried to keep warm running footraces
over the hills, but the night grew cold
er and colder. 1t was IL o'clock before
a ''trouble car" got to the scene of
activity. Another car also went out
after the passengers and Spellacy was
landed in town at p. m. about as
chilled as when the Bryan vote came
in two years ago.

PROPOSES TO DRILL FOR
OIL AT INDIAN SPRINGS

LAS VEGAS, New, Feb. 24.-The oil
prospects at Indian Springs are, ac-
cording to reports, to be wildcatted.
Ira Mcfarland of Goldfeld has taken
the lease of the Indian Springs ranch,
which he will use as headquarters for
his drilling operations. He is quoted
as saying that he will have a drilling
rig on the ground in ten days and will
begin the long delayed exploration of
that section.
Mr. Mcfarland is an oil expert of
considerable reputation and is conf
dent in the belief that he will open
valuable oil fields near Indian Springs
His success would be a wonderful ad-
vantage to all Southern Nevada, since
cheap fuel would give an impetus to
mining never before experienced.

The Call Of he South.

The census returns, the crop
harvests, the mining and manu-
featuring reports, the prosperity
and activity in Southern cities
and the agricultural districts Of
that section all concentrate upon
the South the attention of the
people, not only of the United
States, but of the world.
The States South of Mason and
Dixon's line now having the
same influx of population, the
same increase in the activities of
the business affairs, the same
rise in values of real estate as
had the States of the Middle West
half century ago, and the great
Northwest experienced in the
seventies and eighties of the last
century.
But we must think for one
moment that the South has nearly
rerched its zenith of wealth, pros
perity and influence.
It's fertile soil and balmy eli
mate invite scores of millions of
producers, who will add to the
resources of those States and the
nation.
The call of the South is now
on the entire nation, and the
practical New Englanders and
the shrewd and sturdy Western
ers alike appreciate the advant-
ages of thessSouth, encircled on
the north and west by a popula-
ton largely dependent upon its
products and its patronage, and
upon the east and the south by
the oceans which give it access
to all the ports of the world.
The South contains in itself all
the natural element of power
full nation.
It's sail, it mines, it's natural
resources, so numerous and so
varied, its rivers, its ports, its
position uponsthe continent, and
its relative position with the
states of such greater rigor of
climate are magnets to those who
desire healthss.withss wealth. ease
with prosperity.
Medical genius has freed it

The F. M. Slagle & Co. lumber
dealers in various places in this
state, were fined $50 and costs at
Elk Point last week for selling adul-
terated linseed oil. The oil was
manufactured by the Central Lin
seed Oil company of Omaha, and
according to the report of Drug
Commissioner Cook it contained
one third kerosene. The local
butcher at Alcester was also fined
$50 and costs for slaughtering and
exposing for sale an animal which
was unfit for food. Numerous
fines thruout the state have been
imposed for selling impure eggs,
and the result has caused slump
in the price of eggs. Dealers are
afraid to ship during the hot wealth

transit and if fouLd defective at
their destination the shippers are
liable to a fine.
