IAN OIL EPIDEMIC
TWIN MOUNTAINS AND SUR
ROUNDING TERRITORY PLAsT-
.EREp WITH PETROLEUM LocA-
TONS

lAlamogordo, N. M, Dec. 12.-On
fever has become epidemic in Ala
mogordo. The field that is attract
ing attention at the present time is
on and around the Twin
mountains about 20 miles southwest
of here.
The word was whispered around
for a few days that there was some
thing likely to be doing in the oil bus
mess, says the News, and a company
of about 10 has been formed. Other
groups and individuals have become
interested, and the net result TO the
present time is that the Twin noun
tains and the ground for several
miles each way has been located as
oil territory. SIS s "a 6,F
This is not the first oil interest thar
has been aroused in this section and
at several times extensive territory
has been staked as oil ground
The present interest in oil seems to
be based upon the opinion and report
of g. p. Ward, SSE, who has had con
siderable experience as a geologist
and mining man, The Stanleys had q
claim staked over in the Twin noun
tains and recently while w. G. Haynes
was doing some work for them he
gathered a piece OF the hematite rock
and brought 1t in to snow Mr.. Ward,
The latter pronounced it Of little val
ne, but stated that he would go out
and look at the country at some con-
yenient time. Sunday a week ago he
went out and at once recognized the
country as having all the evidences
Of oil land. aa etk r1

from Willard were included. Mr..
Davis thinks six or eight cars have
been shipped from there. When the

1900 Pounds 10 Acre
Here is Ia bean story from Walter
Pace. who threshed the beans: Holt
day and Maxey. about 10 miles south
west, had Is acres that made 1900
pounds to the acre. They sold some
time ago at 1$6 $50, which made $119,70
an acre. Beans have sold as high rs
$R40. If these beans had been sold
at the high figure they would have
brought $4,000 an acre. This is the
highest yield so far reported. The
next highest is q yield Of 1900 pounds
