big OIL WELL is
NOW UNDER CONTROL

Shreveport, La, March 25.-Reports
from the oil field state that the Hig-
gins Oil and Fuel Company's big well,
known as Atlanta No. l, which is To-
Gated in section "a, township p, range
16. has been placed under control
after gushing widely for several days
flooding the country for more than a
quarter of a mile in some directions.
This we'll is in the Jeems Bayou sec
tion of the field.
There are different estimates sto
the production, but the most conserva-
tive operators figuer that it is making
a little less than 10000 barrels. Some
of the reports circulated here were
to the effect that the well was show
ing a capacity of at least 10000 bar
rels daily. but that is undoubtedly an
exaggeration. If it is making between
5000 and 10000 day, it is an excel
lent producer, and no matter what the
true production is, the drilling In or
the wen has certainly set the operas

LOOK AFTER RECRUITS

jackson. Miss, March 25.-General
Arthur Fridge will not be among the
officers of the Mississippi National
Guard who will go to Texas to wit
ness the maneuyers of the regular
army. This was determined on Gen
eral Frdge's recent trip to Washing
ton.

that he may be needed at home, -
which is interpreted to mean that, in
the event of war with Mexico. or an
invasion of that country by American
troops, General Fridge, as head of the
Mississippi National Guard, may be
required to remain in Jackson to look
after recruiting new companies and
equipping them for active service in

Diaz Asked for Troops.

Galveston, Texas, March 25.-Presi-
dent Diaz of Mexico continues to en-
joy good health, according to DR..
George H. Lee, a member of the facul-
ty of the University of Texas, who
returned home yesterday from a trip
to Mexico City, where he had long
talk with Diaz a few days ago. Df.
Lee says the venerable president is
in possession of all his faculties, and
outside of a slight impairment in his
hearing, due to advancing age, he is
just as hale and hearty as he was ten
years ago.
DR.. Lee expressed the personal
opinion that Diaz requested the United
States to send troops to the border,
fearing that the revolution would
reach such proportions that the gov
ernment would be unable to guarantee
protection to Americans and extensive
American interests in Mexico. He
thought that the MeXicans would bit
terIy resent any interference on the
part of the United States.
There was no sign of trouble in
Mexico City, DR.. Lee declared, and as
far as he could learn the revolution
was confined to the state of Chihua
hua. He said that there were less
than 1000 soldiers in Mexico City
during the time he was there.
