Gentlemen:
In Re: Oil Lands in Eddy county New

have completed extensive geological sur
vey, covering the greater portion of southeastern
New Mexico, and my report covering the
completed and will be in your possession within
the next few days.
The oil shows appearing in numerous wells
were obtained from the top OF 275foot water
rock horizon. During the time this survey was
being made lowered of these wells 40
feet into q 20-foot pay sand lying immediately
beneath the water rock horizon. This well made
200 barrels Of oil under the pump, together with
large quantity of artesinn water but this pro
dnction Is sufficient to prove the PenAsco Anti
thne, upon which the 1000 acres OF leases You
have obtained are in the greater part, located.
Wells drilled in this Anti Cline TO a depth
OF from 900 TO $50 feet will produce oil in
quantities of 200 barrels more per day under
high pressure. packer set in all wells drilled
on tins Anti Cline, at $50 feet will shut out all
OF the artesian water found above the pay sand
strata.
| am confident that this discovery will lead
TO the development of large oil field in the
Peeos Valley. Yours very truly,

"The freside voter is always at home. He can
vote whenever he takes notion. He may get out
and do it, or he may not; it all depends upon what
personal interest he may happen to take in some
local election. The absent voter is the one we are
trying to enfranchise. Owing to the wide territory
ne may cover his views sure to be broader than
the reslde voters that makes him the more intei-
gent voter. There is reason why any American
citizen should lose his vote year after year because
he happens to be away from home election day.
The Labor World says amen to that. Minnesota
will do only what is right toward some of her soidest
citizens when the absent voters law is put on the
statute books.
