BOTH OIL AND
ARTESIAN WATER
IN ONE WELL
WELL NOT FAR FROM ALA
MOGORDO PRODUCING 500
TO 1000 GALLONS A MIN
UTE; WILL BE DRILLED
DEEPER

Oil has been struck in a we'll II
miles southwest of Alamogordo, on
the road between Alamogordo and
FL Paso, also flowing artesian water
according to l.. N. Jones, mayor OF
Alamo, who was in El Paso Tues
day buying pipe for the we'll.
The water, he says, tastes very
much like EPSON salts.
Mr.. Jones is vice president OF the
company which is sinking the well.
They are now down 90l feet and the
water is flowing, he says, at the rate
of 500 to 1000 gallons minute. 1t is
strongly impregnated with oil and
full of gas. He says it is strong in
magnesia, but it is palatable enough
for irrigation purposes and is good
for boilers, solving the water ques-
ton at least for the engine t..
using for the drilling.
Will Drill Deeper
The company intends continuing
its boring he says, with every indi-
cation OF reaching oil in paying
quantities. Fayette A. Jones, who
selected the location, which is on
government land, is enthusiastic over
the prospects.
The first oil, according to Mr.,
Jones, was struck at a depth of $50
feet, when a pocket of dead oil was
found. Lower they found live" oil
and some water. The oil came out
in big gobs in the water as it was
slushed out OF the we'll by the drill
lcrs. The drill penetrated several
pockets in the cretaceous limestone,
and oil appeared in all the pockets,
also through the stone.
Well Close To Main Road
The we'll is not 800 feet from the
present FL -Alamogordo road.

well is known as the Twin Buttes

FUSION AS TO ELECTION
MACHINERY TO BE USED

Albuquerque, NJ NJ, Oct. 3l.-With
the prohibition election six days
away, the Vets are at last out in the
open circulating literature and in
some instances attempting to con-
fuse the electorate over the machin-
cry of the new election law. 1t is
the duty of every board of county
commissioners, acting through the
county clerk, to supply and distribute
the ballot boxes, booths and ballots.
1t is rumored that some counties
have not yet received the voting
booths, this could not possibly be
used as an excuse to default in con-
Quoting the election in any instance
as any election board can provide
table and curtain the same off
with cloth curtains in the most sim
pie manner and comply with the
law.

must be away from home on cleo

any qualified voter can vote in any
precinct in the state more than fif-
teen miles away from home. pro-
viding he executes the proper affi-
davit and presents his registration
certificate.

Some confusion in the minds of the
public has been created through the
question of registration Any non
registered voter otherwise qualified
can vote on election day in his home
precinct, upon the presentation of
properly executed affidavit witness
ed to by two other qualified voters.
Blank affidavts for this purpose
have been placed in the hands Of

The law requires that the registra-
ton list be posted in the most pro
minent place in the precinct for ten
days prior to election. Every pro-
hibitionist should examine this list
and ascertain whether his own and
his prohibition neighbors' names are
registered, and il not, to Immediate

WASHINGTON, June 25.--President
Wilson will make. his senate fight for
food control without compz Amise.
Friends of the administration meas
ure are in complete accord with this.
and declared today that opposition in
the senate, numerically at least Is
confidently expected to prove to be no
greater than in the house where only
Ave votes were cast against the bill.
Inclusion by the house Of a bone
dry" section may split opposition to
the bill in the senate. That amend
mene and others adopted in the lower
branch served to scatter antagonists,
| in the senate to the point where some
confusion Is noted In their ranks to-
day.
The senate will probably retain
some prohibition section, but senti-
ment is more inclined to favor the
discontinuance of distilled spirits
manufacture, but not stoppage of
beers and wines.
Retention by the senate of this fea-
ture Of the bill, however, is bound
further to intensity opposition to the
food control bill and threaten perhaps
Its final passage this week.
The exact course of this opposition,
however, will not become clear for
several days probably. After con-
two days between different factions
on the bill, the following decisions
were reached today:
Friends of the bill viii not remove
any teeth left in 1t by the house.
They, in fact, will attempt to add
some. Opponents of the measure
will fight it to the end on the ground
that 1t is unconstitutional and neces
sary to establish a food dictatorship.
They will say the only thing neces-
sary is regulation of food specula-
tors.
1t has been agreed to eliminate all
reference in the bill to the control OF
flood consumption into
the home and debating what shall
and shall not be served.
It has further been agreed specific
ally to exclude farmers from restric-
tions under the bill, making it apply
essentially to the distributors.
The measure will be broadened so
as to include foods, feeds, fuel and
under "other necessities" steel, iron,
oil, all petroleum products, aluminium
and farm machinery. This will be
done so that the food producer may
be relieved as well as the consumer.
Price fixing and communicating fea-
lures will remain.
There will be some minor changes
beyond the ones mentioned, but the
teeth will be left intact.
The bill went to the senate today
from the house and was to be sent to
the agriculture committee for these
amendments.
Friends Of the bill say there will be
a majority report favoring 1t from
the committee, but probably minor
