Gas and Oil Struck at Bowie

Gas and light grade of oil has
been encountered at the depth OF
255 feet, in drilling carried on by
the Arizona and New Mexico Oil
Development Company, eight miles
north of Bowie, according to Mart
Q. Harding, postmaster of Lords
burg, a director of the company.
7 There was a considerable
amount of gas, but only a little
oil" Mr.. Hardin said, but the
result was very encouraging to the
officers of the company. Drilling
was continued to a depth of 600
feet in shale, but at present has
been stopped 50 that the hole can
be cased. The casing is already
on the ground and is being in
stalled.
President James A. Phillips of
the company, IS at the location
experimenting the drilling. The
hole is within six feet of where an
other hole was drilled eight years
ago. According to a sworn afflda-
Wit of the driller who sank this
hole, he had drilled to a depth of
100 feet when an explosion Of oil
and gas destroyed his work one
night after his tools had been with
drawn. He did not have money
to try another hole, and gave up,
Mr.. Hardin said. Nothing further
was ever done until the present
company started drilling The for
nations have been found the same
thus far as stated in the affidavit of
the former driller, it is said.
The company is composed of
leading Lordsburg business men,
and it proposes to demonstrate
whether the Bowie fiat, about
which there has been so much
speculation, really has oil and gas
III paying quantities.

Christmas Boxes for
the Benson Boys
Sent Thursday by Ladies of
the Red Cross

A committee of Red Cross ladies
met at the home Of Mrs. A w.
Bard Wednesday night to make up
the Christmas boxes to be sent to
the boys at the military encamr-
ments or somewhere in the military
or naval service Of the government.
Besides the boys going direct from
Benson or the immediate vicinity
there were others either we'll known
here by former residence or having
friends or relatives.
The boxes each contained a lib
eral allowance Of home baked f6lit
cake, two kinds of home made
candy, stuffed dates, nuts, and
a book, the latter an interesting
story or something selected Judged
to be suitable to the taste of the
recipient. The packages, which
were shipped Thursday, went some
to Camp Funston, Kansas, some
to Camp Kearney, at Linda Vista,
California, and others to various
addresses where the boys are scat
tered.
Those to whom boxes were sent
are:
A. F. Adams Carlos Castaneda, Ben H.
Clark, John Ewell, Ernest Gray. Ebert
Houston, Cecil Jones, w, B. Kleinz, Nanny
Martinez, Orrick Robinson, DunkIin Rob
inson, M. H, Scott, c. E. Shepherd, Sum-
mers; Jas. w. Skinner. Archie Theroux.
Thos. E. Thorp and N. Levison.
The fruit cake for the boxes was
looked after by Mrs. H. Q. Rob
ertson, wife of Principal Robert
son Of Benson Union High School, >
who gave the matter direct per-
sonal attention, making and bak-
ing the cakes after famous recipe
in her possession. The ever-ready
when help is needed Domestic
Science class came forward too and
lent their help, making the candy
with which to supply the boxes.
The boys will no doubt be well
pleased with this evidence Of the
thoughtful consideration Of the
ladies Of the society, notwithstand-
ing that the movement is nation
wide, and heartily appreciate re-
ceiving some Christmas reminder
from the homes they left behind.

Letter from a Benson Boy
Telling Experiences

The following extract from let
ter written home by a Benson boy,
Carlos Castaneda, will prove of in
terest to all who have sons, bro
theirs or relatives in the training
camps, and will tend to refute the
idea that the boys are undergoing
great hardships.
Leaving out matters of individ-
ual interest to home folks, the let
ter says:
We had very nice dinner OH
Thanksgiving Day, the menu con-
sisting of young roast turkey with
oyster dressing, baked sweet pota-
toes, cream peas, cranberry sauce,
celery, green onions, pickles, fruit
salad, cakes, candy, nuts, apples
and oranges, pumpkin and mince
pies. We had the drawing room
decorated and moved the piano in
there. The orchestra played as the
boys marched to their places at the
table. After dinner we had several
Of the officers address us, and also
ome of the boys. We sang and
had several instrumental solos, the
orchestra playing several numbers
Everybody seemed to enjoy the
days proceedings very much.
I was certainly lucky in being
transferred the other day, as the
next day after 1 was transferred to
Headquarters Company, Battery c
was put under quarantine for mea-
sles for a period of eighteen days.
Nearly all the batteries in our regi-
ment except one and Headquarters
Company are also quarantined.
We heard some very good news
yesterday. One of the boys that
was transferred from here to Linda
Vista, California, wrote to a friend
here and told him that they were
building some new stables and had
signs on them, $40 F. A. N. A. "
If this is the case I think we
will be transferred soon. l hope
we wont be here when winter sets
in, although the weather has beer

used some time ago before the real
ones arrived, but the wooden can
non (also shown) are still in use,
as they are all the boys have to

There are so many cases like this
