Whole Country StnEzed Out.
BY daylight, 5000 acres had been
staked, and Friday night the total count
was 10000 acres. On Saturday morning
the only available nearby oil claims

The boring for artesian water was
commenced January Is and was given
up Thursday morning at 10 o'clock by
Z A. Mayo, who announced that the
drill which became sand locked" a
TDoIth ago at depth of 1880 feet. was
hopelessly fastened.
Believing, however, he stated Friday
afternoon, that OH Indications were
good. he and his father and six others
on Thursday night began stalking oil

ter. For the first $50 feet the hole
was cased with eight inch pipe From
the $50 foot level, the balance of the
hole was originally seven and one-half
inches.
The drill used was OF the rotary style,
and this is also true of the inch and
one-quarter pipe down through which
the water is forced by pressure TO WASH
the sand out.
Some COniectures.
That the sand which has caused trou-
bic in the well, drifted in from a $50
foot level. is the opinion of E. A. Mayo,
Notwithstanding the fact that the log
OF the well, between the 2S515 and 59S
feet levels, records gumbo only. Mr.
Mayo, however, asserts he was in

The stalking of claims by the Mayos
and their party, was commenced Thurs
day night and was completed at o'clock
Friday morning. The claims were named
the Mesquite Shamrock and ''Gush-
err and comprise 400 acres.
Upon Mr. Camp learning early Friday
morning that claims were being staked
he organized a party who staked 20
quarter sections of land before day
break In his party were himself and

Boyd, Mr.. and Mrs. J. r Hunter. John
Bennett and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Will

Whitmore The rapidity with which the
claims were staked is due to the fact
that the claim notices were prepared
several weeks ago in order that the
persons interested might post them upon
the first announcement that oil had been
discovered.
The news spread over the valley Fri
dav. and all the settlers Immediately
filed notices on their respective claims.
until Friday night the grand total of
acres under placer mining claims was
10000.
In every direction in the valley posts

The expenses Of the wei so far have
been light. The actual drilling cost was
stated Friday afternoon by Mr.. War
mock, of Alamogordo, who was the only
citizen from that place in attendance,
to be about $500. The material for the
drill stem, was stated to be about S1100.
The coal for the drilling work. three
cars, has been donated by the South
western railway, which has also sup
piled $50 feet of casing.
Experience of the DrilIers.
Drilling work was first commenced
on Jan. 10, and proceeded, with but few
Interruptions, until March "a. when the
1870 foot level was reached. Encoun-
tering the hard blue shaIe rock. it was
decided to pull the drill point up for
sharpening, and it was raised 40 feet.
At that juncture. the stay bolts, holding
the crown sheets in the boiler, blew
out, and the operations were necessar-
lily suspended. The boiler was repaired
on March %, and on March % an at

drill stem, and the engine was not equal
to the task, the sand having formed
what is termed a sand lock-" Real
izing that the weight of the sand around
the drill stem was too great to permit
it's being drawn out OF the well, the
drilllers then installed a one and one
quarter inch pipe in the well outside
of the drill stem and began forcing the
sand packed up, using eco pound wa
ter pressure
By April IA the sand was reduced to
a 9S5 foot level, and a second attempt
was then made to pull the drill stem
and point from the well, but the stem
was pulled in two. 140 feet from the
surface. 1t was Joined by a fishing
spear and another attempt was made to
lift the point. The engine, however,
was not equal TO the task.
BY this time, the sand had again fill
