To Sign Desert Water Holes.

To make the desert regions of the western part of the United States more accessible by locat- ing their widely separated water ing places and erecting hundreds of signposts to give directions and distances to the watering places, is an interesting and practical project recently under taken by the United States Geo. logical Survey, Department of the Interior.
 The project involves also the work of making accurate maps showing the location of the watering places, of preparing guides describing them and giv- ing distances between them, of selecting well sites and of de- veloping watering places (so far as money available will permit) in localities where the geologic al investigations indicate that underground supplies can be obtained. It is expected that this work will help to expedite the discovery and development of the rich mineral deposits in parts of these regions.

"DOING HIS BIT."
Nogaies Boys Secures Data Regarding
 Santa Cruz Crops.

It has just been learned through a visit to NogaleS that not all the brave young men of the nation are fighting at the front the battles of the people, clay Bristol, 14year old son of J. B. Bristol of the Nogales Chamber of Commerce. to set the pace for patriotic service to to his country.
 Barclay was very much inter- ested in the program laid out by his father relative to securing data and information regarding crops of Santa Cruz county and insisted on being assigned the duty of making a personal trip through the valley securing ac- curate data on growing crops. He made the trip after con- vincing his father he could handle the job, and returned with a complete and very ac curate report of all crops under cultivation and the acreage of each. This information has just been accepted by the state coun- cil of defense as being accurate data of the crops growing.
 Barclay visited over 17O farms in three weeks time and cover ed 21O miles in his trip, con- versing with more than 51O peo- pie regarding the condition of crops throughout the valley.
 In speaking of this young mans work, MT. Sellers of the state council mentioned that it was the first case In the state where any person has secured such a large amount of data and in such specific form. A young man of this age who will volun- teer to go into strange houses for three weeks at a time when all the other boys are enjoying a good time at the beach or at home certainly is deserving of the highest praise.
 Barclay Bristol mentioned to MT. Sellers that he was only doing his duty for his country and that he wished he could do more. It will be we'll for many of our so called patriotic citizens to buck up little and render a few more hours to this volun. tary work that is now being carried on, as this young man has set very good example that many of our people could very we'll afford to follow.- Tucson Citizen.

COOPERATIVE BULL BUYING.

One of the best ways to breed up cattle on the open range is for the cattlemen in each district to form an association and buy bulls for the whole district. Make an estimate of how many bulls are needed and then assess each cattle owner in proportion to the number of cattle each one has. In this way there will be plenty of bulls of a recognized breed on the range and every one will bear his just proportion of the expenses. If some outfit has a lot of cattle in the district from some outside range, and he can't or won't keep them at home, let him also contribute bull money in proportion to the estimated number of cattle he has running in the district. In this way it would be only a short time till the ranges would show marked improvement in the grade of range cattle.-Cattle- man.

The discovery of oil and na- tural gas near Holbrook is at tracting considerable interest approaching the proportions of a boom. Already five sections of land have been staked out in claims, and the work has only started. Harry H. Scores, one of the oldest residents of Hol- brook, has known of the oil and coal indications in that vicinity far many years.
 About six months ago he in duced experts to make investi- gation of the prospects, and their report was so favorable that he had other experts to make investigation, and their findings were also favorable. This was followed by about twenty claims being staked out Pockets of gas have been found in a number of places, and it is no uncommon thing to find in. dications of oil near the surface.
 Now that several experts from different oil fields have examin- ed the prospects and have re ported favorably, active work in prospecting will commence. MT. Scores states that sufficient money is available to sink the first we'll and that the work will commence in a few days.
