JEFFERSON. TEXAS FRIDAY. JANUARY 49, 1912

We'll thoroughly Wltn ClcdI wafer,
if there is enough gas pressure
to blow the well to flowing mud
the better and if not then you
must bail, which is done gener-
ally with a ID inch bailer equal
in length to two joints of pipe,
or longer, which, of course. is
handled in two sections. To do
this, your drilling line, which is
81 or rs inch wire cable, is re-
moved from the drum and
smaller one, generally GIG, is
substituted. When the bailing
is flushed, which sometimes
means only few runs. or maybe
till you have practically bail
ed the well dry; this, OF course,
depends upon the amount of gas
pressure. Sometimes a con
siderable amount of weight is
required to be bailed of in order
to give the we'll a start. You
ray bail for hours without any
results or a fair showing, and
then produce a good one. This
is uncertain and you are at a
loss, lust hoping"
Giving the details above, of
course, is based on flowing
producer, which is more often
missed than struck. Even in a
proven territory big failures are
made, and only for lack of space
| would go farther into detailing
the produ ton and formation of
this peculiar field.
A standard rig, as | said |
would mention, consists of a
heavy foundation extending
back from the V Of the derrick;
at the rear of this is placed res
ervoir engine, same as used on
rotary drilling rig Then
comes a loose pully on the side
of the sand reel, which is used
in bailing after cleaning out the
well, which sometimes becomes
INSTRUCTED with parafine or
possibly to bail when drilling a
little deeper, hoping to hold up
the production, This is done
with cable tools, ga wire cable
and long bit, different entirely
from rotary drilling bit, the
line being run from what is
known as a Bull Wheel and
attached to the walking beam.
The Standard Rig is said to be
used exclusively in the Pennsyl-
vauia and West Virginia fields,
extensively in California, Mexi-
co and parts of the Texas fields,
but it has proven failure here
on account of the softness Of the
formation, which requires mud
which cannot be handled by this
process, to keep the hole walled
up. However, each well here
has a stand and rig attached, but
is used for pumping the well af-
ter it ceases flowing. The com
panies keep one or more cable
drillers to go from well to well,
as | stated, to keep them cleaned
out in order to hold up the pro
duction as much as possible; he
is allowed in this field one helper.
SO, you see, it would be less ex-
pense, as far as labor is con
cerned, if it was possible to use
the cable tools, four helpers be
ing used on rotary rig
The work is dangerous but
considerably caused by extreme
carelessnesss. Like all other
occupations, the more accustom-
ed to the work, less precaution
is taken. The companies main
tain a high standard of wages
and you hear Of no complaint as
to that matter.
This that | have mentioned is
only the beginning and does not
go into the details Of pumping
and transfusing Of oil and so on,
which | may write about later.

here five years ago virtually as pris-

go back to their people and spread the
doctrine of the new life, which they
have gladly accepted.
A half-dozen years ago the Hopi ma
ton was causing considerable trouble
in Arizona. Internecine strife had d.
vided the tribes and a troop of United
States cavalry was sent post haste to
the Keam's canyon region to restore
peace. After pow-wows and confer
ences, in which the Indian leaders
sternly refused to adopt the white
mans education, twelve of the most
obstinate. "stand-patters" were taken
as prisoners and sent from the Mo-
qui agency, in Arizona, to the Carlisle
Indian school. The party arrived here
January 26, 1907. All of these In
dians were members of the .Oraibi
band of the Hopi nation. Among them
were several priests and head men OF
the tribe.
When these savages arrived at the
Carlisle school they would have moth

dents. and began to live their lives
apart. In less than ten days one of
the Hopis indicated by gestures that
he would like to have his hair cut
like the other students, and on the
same day another Hopi was discover
ed shipping off his own locks with a
hunting knife.
From the moment the Hopis showed
their first interest in education they
