RAILROAD SECTION HANDS QUIT WORK STRIKE TOR HIGHER PAY Five Hundred Men Between Argenta and Denning Demand Increase
 of 25 Gents Per Hour.

Approximately 800 section hands and extra gang workmen on the Gen. tral Division of the Iron Mountain railway, between Denning Yard and Argenta, went on a strike today. The section hands struck for raise of 25 cents per day in their wages, while the extra gang workmen struck through sympathy, it is said. The section men receive SIPS per day, while the extra workmen receive $50.
 The section hands on the northern half of the Central Division struck several months ago for a raise of 25 cents per day, and were off duty only one day, it is said, when the railway officials granted the increase in pay.
 With the reconstruction and rebal- lasting work in progress at the time of the strike, the work may be seri- ously delayed unless settlement is effected at once. Local section men said today they believe their request vii be granted within few days.
 There are Is section crews with an average of 15 men to the crew in this division, and in the four extra gangs there are about 400 men, a majority of whom quit today. William Harri- gan. road master, is Investigating the strike, and hopes to effect settle ment at once.

SAYS GAS FIELD MAY EXTEND HERE GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS Indicate New kibler Field May Un- derlie Vast Territory, Declares
 Gas Man.

That geological investigations indi cate the recently discovered Kible1 gas field in Crawford county may ex- tend through a vast territory, core | spending roughly to the valley of the Arkansas river, and the deposits may underlie Faulkner county, was the statement today of w. E. Lawrence sales manager of the Commonwealth Gas and Oil Company of Oklahoma who is here today in the interest of his company. MT. Lawrence says the government and state geological sur veys show that the Pennsylvania stratum, in which gas and oil are found in Oklahoma and western Ar kansas, extends as far east as Little Rock, and the possibilities for their discovery in this section are as good as in any section where actual tests have not been made.
 It is not generally known here that drilling of wells located in sec tion IA, GIG, near Plumerville, which was abandoned several years ago after a small flow of gas had been struck, has been resumed and flow of 2,O00,000 feet at a depth of 600 feet was reported last week. The drilling is in charge of Col. J. B. Streator who directed the first tests in that vicinity. Col Streator is now being backed by c. A. Braden. mil lionarie operator of Tulsa, Okla.
 MT. Lawrence says the total flow in the Kibler field from the seven wells brought in amounts to about 75,000,000 feet per day. Practically all of this output, he states, has been contracted for by larger smelting and other manufacturing plants located in Fort Smith and Van Buren. He does not think it probable that the gas will be conveyed east to Memphis unless a production of 500,000,000 is secured but believes that amount will unques- tionably be brought in by the drilling operations now in progress.
 MT. Lawrence, in company with S. J. Madden of Fort Smith, is selling stock in the Commonwealth Company at a price of S200. The Clear Creek company, which was granted a fran chise at Conway, is getting $500 for each $100 worth of stock they are selling. The Commonwealth owns a producing system at Spiro, Okla, now in operation, and large holdings near Tulsa, Okla, besides their acre. age in the Kibler field.

BIGGEST FOURTH IN b|SbEE FOR
 JULY 1916
Committees Perfect Organi- zation and Get An Early Start. No Program Adver- Using will be Solicited.

A celebration that is a celebration from every angle of the patriotic amusement compass-was decided up- on last evening fSr Fourth of July, 1916, by the general arrangements committee. The various chairmen met with the officials and the execu- tive committee and perfected the or ganization which will be announced, in its entirety, at later date.
 A finance committee composed of James Allison, chairman, R. A. Breth- erton and A. H. Livingston, Main street: J. J. Detloff and Mr. Reeves. Brewery Gulch;. Lee Jovanovich, Naco Road, and J. J. Dugal. Lowell. will start its work today and within the next week some definite information as to the progress of the affair will be had
 An innovation and at the same time an idea which will most certainly ap- peal to the merchants of Bisbee, was decided upon last evening by the com mittee. That constitutes the de- cision to eliminate, an advertising program. This fact will be made kAo&hi'to the various merchants of Bisbee when they are solicited fDS funds for the celebration and should aid them in deciding to raise their contribution approximately. In other words. the hat will be passed but once and no advertising schemes of any kind, either program or other wise, will be tolerated by the com mittee Every kind of commercial ism will be eliminated so far as pos sible.
 The various chairmen of committees announced, in some cases, the person mel of their memberships. The com mittees will meet again at the call of Chairman ]. C. White. In a number of cases. however. this action was deferred until late date when all of the committees, the chairmen and others. will be printed in full and the people of Bisbee may be able tS see who are taking the active part in per fecting what promises to be the best and most effective celebration ever held in Arizona on an Independence Day.
