The geology and the under.
ground water resources of Luna
County, N. Mex, are described
in recent bulletin p uolished by
the United States Geological
Survey. This report will sup
ply an urgent demand by settlers
of the district for information
regarding the particular areas
in which water is obtainable, the
depth TO water, and the quantity
and quality available.
The territory described lies
about 40 miles west of FL Paso
quadrangle and adjoins the
southeast corner of the Silver
City quadrangle, both of which
are described in foliOs of the
Geologic Atlas of the United
States.

Well Drilling Begun

E. G. Kniffin is getting things
in shape now to start a deep
test well for oil.
He has the casing and lum Der
on the ground, and he expects to
start drilling within the next
few days.
The Wilson Farnsworth leases
expired by limitation on April Z,
and Mr.. Kniffin has taken up
several of them. He now has
plenty of land under his control,
and feels justifable in making a
thorough test.
1t will now be only a matter
of few weeks until we know
whether there is anything doing
in the oil business for us. Mr..
Kniffin is arranging to put down
three or four different holes and
if there is any of the black fluid
in the valley he will be sure to
find it.

Six Prisoners Brought In

The six Villista prisoners
brought to the border Thursday
under heavy guard have been
identified positively by soldiers
and townspeople as having par.
ticipated in the raid on Colum.
bus, March 9th.
1t was determined also that
one of the prisoners, who had
claimed TO be a Carrancista
soldier captured by Villa, was a
member of Villas band when
it raided Columbus, having de.
serted the de facto troops.
1t was announced the men will
be held here pelding an investi.
cation as to the legal steps to
be taken in prosecuting them.
Inclement weather conditions
hamper wirel ess communica.
tion with the front, but military
authorities here expressed no
concern and asserted that Gen.
eral Pershing probably is push.
ing his campaign rapidly farther
into the interior of Mexico, and
that it is possible that some of
the troops are operating on the
Durango border.
Military men Of rank here say
freely they believe the conclusion
of the campaign is yet months
away. Few of them take stock
in the possibility of the expedi
tionary force being withdrawn.
Much interest, however, is mani.
tested in the proposals to in
crease the force, it being point.
ed out that the line of communi.
cation now Is more than four
hundred miles long.

these may be mentioned Mr.. and

a great deal about how impossi-
BILE it would be to agree on an
other name, but if the state were
to be named Columbus" the
Spanish. American element
would feel complimented and
the truely patriotic American
could not object. Then, it
will be necessary to choose a
name that will meet with the
least opposition and no other
name could be thought OF that
would be as suitable for there is
no state at present with a name
anything like it aud it has been

Lennon, Jr., a member Of the

battle at Columbus. In view of
Rios youth and the fact that he

whether he will be brought "

participated in the Jail break at
Deming, which resulted in the
killing of Sheriff Stephens. He
was acquitted of completely IN
the killing of Stephens in order
that he might be tried for the

wet" and dry" fight. The
prohibition forces sent out with
their petition Immediately after
the election of trustees and al.
ready have enough signers to
call an election. The petition
will be presented at the first
regular meeting of the trustees
of Deming and the election will
probably take place early in
June.
The precipitating of the con.
tlict came as a complete surprise
to the "wets" and up to the
present time they have been un.
able to gather their disorganized
forces. The name of u mum Der
of persons that have been prom.
inent defenders of the saloons in
the past are on the petition and
it looks to the enthusiastic "drys'
like a sure victory.

Reb Russell and Claude Williams
of the White SOx are doubling as the
best southpaw pair in the big league,
effective, cool and capable of lots of
work. Their ability is a big factor in
figuring the SOx as pennant pOssibili-
ties.
Their dual feat of bIahking the
Red SOx twice yesterday was a nota-
bic affair. One man reached second
base against each slabbist. Not a
pass was issued and no man was hit
That is a remarkable record of con-
troll, exceptionally so when it is con-
sidered the two fling with arms that
are usually regarded as eTratic.
Williams allowed six hits and Rus

Russell three. Practically every team
in the American league has a wreck

batsmen. Against these clOUters
Williams and Russell should be par
tiCularly effective
While commencing the pitchers do
not overlook another fellow who has
been a big factor in the recent on
slaught of the SOx, though his work
has been generally disregarded in
