The cash deficit in the postal service
Is Sli.333 600. The efficiency deficit
can't be measured in dollars Perhaps
the nearest approach to a statement
OF the efficiency deficit would be ex-
pressed in the language Of farmers

Of rural service and city business men
who get less frequent service. But if

TONT0 BASIN FILLED
 WITH COMMERCIAL
 OIL, THEY REPORT
Investigators Announce On Return from Roosevelt Field that Constant Flow is at Least 100 Barrels.

GLOBE, Feb. 11.--Oil in commercial quantities has been developed at the well of the Tonto Basin oil company across the lake from Roosevelt, accord ing to word brought to Globe last night by George Shute and O. A. Der ry. They declare that the we'll of the Tonto Basin company is nearly filled with crude oil of parafine base and the highest quality.
 Col James A. Fleming. president of the Tonto Basin Oil company, was given samples of oil brought back by MT Shute and Mir. Berry and will have them tested at once. In the meantime he is making rapid prepar- ations for extensive operations at the well.
 From the report brought back from Roosevelt last night Col Fleming was able to announce that the oil is alrea- dy in the well in commercial quanti- ties and he expects. with little fur her drilling that the flow will reach at least 100 barrels. Casing is already on the way here 10 protect the 60 feet of naked hole al the bottom of the

well and it will be driven within the next ten days.
 Operations at the Tonto well, as at the Salome well, were suspended some time ago because of the floods. At the time drilling stopped at the Tonto we'll Col. Fleming and his associates were confident that they were direct ly on top of the oil basin. Some oil was coming up from the bottom of the we'll. through the shale, but il was not in commercial quantities.
 Since operations ceased the well has drilled itself in" In other words the oil has worked up through the thin capping of shale and has filled the well to a point within a few feet from the top. When operations are resumed the thin capping of shale will be drilled out and the main body of oil opened up.
 From the first, Col Fleming. who pioneered the field, has been confident that commercial oil wells would be op- ened up. He has struggled against terrific odds to put down his well and has risked his own funds in develop ment of the project. No obstacle was too great for him to surmount and the community will join him in rejoicing over lis success.
