WELLMAN FAILED.
DISPATCH TELLS OF RESCUE
FROM OCEAN OF DARING
BALLOON VOYAGERS.
STEAMER BRINGS CREW
Abar.dons the Airship and the Un.
successful Flight in Diri.
gible Airship
"America."

New York, N Y. - A wireless mes
sage from Captain Dowd of the Royal
mail steamer Trent says the Trent
picked up Walter Wellman and the
crew OF the balloon America at a. m.
Tuesday The airship had been aban-
doned The rescue was made in lati-
tude 1918, longitude 6S13.
Crew and Cat Saved, Balloon Lost.
The position reported by Captain
Dowd indicates that Wellman and his
crew were picked up at point about
$50 miles due east of Cape Fiatteras on
the North Carolina coast.
WeiiGlan and his crew sailed from
Atlantic City, Saturday, at 4 a. IN. The
cruise was planned to test the dirigiblc
but the start was so promising that
Mr. Wellman determined to continue
the flight in an effort to cross the At
lantic.
The course taken by the airship up
to the time of its wreck shows to what
an extent it was the prey of wind and
weather. Sunday morning it was 300
miles northeast of Atlantic City. Mon
day it must have encountered strong
winds from the northward, as it was
driven $50 miles southwark, finally
bringing up east of the North Carolina
coast.
The total distance covered by the
balloon, while under control and drift.
ing prey to the winds appears to
nave been approximately $50 miles.
The wireless message received from
Commander Dowd read as follows:
The Story by Wireless.
On board Steamship Trent at sea,
= I'VE sighted the dirigible airship
America at 5 q. NJ, Tuesday. She sig
nailed us by the Morse code, and the
wireless played a wonderful part in
requesting me to stand by her till day
light. We kept a boat close by her
till dawn broke when she signalled
that she could not launch her lifeboat,
and asked NE TO keep close, in order
that line might be attached
eve made several futile attempts to
attach a line, then the America Wire
lessed that she would come down to
the water as soon as possible and
drop her boat il l could stand by and
pick the boat up.
Lifeboats Keep Close.
Meanwhile our lifeboats kept close
to the airship as possible and finally
she got all her men in her boat and
cut adrift at height of about five feet
from the water.
This proved successful The Ameri-
ca Immediately rose in the air and
shortly afterward, at o'clock, had
the pleasure of welcoming ON board
Mr. Wellman and his five lieutenants
and cat which seemed little the
worse Tor Its air experiences. | then
picked up the boat and proceeded.
"Wellman and his crew are honored
guests on board. After wash and a
brush up they ate hearty breakfast.
The America was abandoned in lati-
tude 1918 north, longitude 6S13 west,
40S miles from Sandy Hook, and the
craft is now having great time
among the clouds.
The America was making a speed
of about eight knots when abandoned
and when released drifted to the west
ward Her motor had been broken and
Wellman was out of his course. ALL
hands were mighty glad of being res
cued.

YUMA DRILLS FOR OIL
Contracts Awarded for Sinking Five Wells on Colorado River Lands
 Leased by New Company.

Imperial Valley residents will watch with deep interest the movement in the Yuma Valley to thoroughly pros pect that territory for oil. In Impe- rial Valley several thousands of acres have been located as oil claims, and should oil be obtained along the Colo rado river it is reasonably certain that development work would be started in various places in Imperial County.
 The Yuma Oil and Gas Company is the name of the corporation that has undertaken the sinking of test wells in the Yuma Valley and on the Yuma Indian Reservation, located in Imperial County. This company was organized by W. Jay Fair and associates, with $1,OO0,OOO capital. Five wells are to be sunk, and they are to be put down with standard rigs to depth of $500 feet if necessary.
 The company has leased six sections of land in the Yuma Valley, and has secured option to lease on practically all of the lands of the Yuma Reser- vation, in Imperial County, that they have been thrown open to settlement. It has also secured land in the Gila Valley and at Dome, in the oil coun- try about Bouse.
 A $10,000 standard rig is now on the way from the East to Yuma, and will be set up as soon as it arrives, work is to be carried on through the summer and fall
 Already Yuma has reached point of enthusiasm where pipe lines are being constructed-on paper-from that town to some Gulf of California shipping point for loading into oil ships.
