enthusiasm characterized the demonstra-

Experienced Owners; Great
Property

The Big Western Oil & Gas Company
was organized by experienced oil and
banking men. F. B. Sims, its president,
was for many years scout for the Sinclair
interests. The properties which they
have assembled already have an esti-
mated value of several million dollars.

The BIG WESTERN OIL AND GAS
COMPANY owns 5000 acres Of leases in
the states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Wyom-
ing and Colorado, and the best of its
properties-the properties to which its
officers look for the greatest immediate
returns-are in Washington county.
The adjoining map shows that they
are surrounded by producing oil and gas
wells-lease No. in the best part of the
Dewey field and leases 2, 3, and 5
scattered through the famous Copan dis
trict.
On these leases we already have pro-
ducing wells, five new wells are now
being drilled and locations have been
surveyed sufficient to continue drilling
campaign for the next eighteen months
without cessation. Most of these loca-
tons will be offset wells which are prac-
tically sure of production. All of the
leases have been carefully selected be-
cause of their geological value and prac-
tically sure returns on money expended
in development.

No Gamble in This Field

The first oil we'll in Oklahoma was drilled by the
Cudahy Oil company in 1903 on the townsite of
Baresville tract of land secured by lease, from
the government; and the Washington county field is
still producing at the rate of Is 900 barrels day
Hundreds of drill rigs dot the prairies in every
ton of the county, hundreds of wells turning their
production into pump stations and hundreds of new
rigs are being erected
With three producing sands to draw from-the
shallow and deep Cherokee, and the famous Bartles-
Vile sand-the Washington county field is every
where considered the most regular and dependable
in the state Only the Bird Creek district north of
Tulsa approaches it.
This regularity is shown in the Oklahoman's March
summary of oil activities in which Washington coun-
ty is credited with 20 competions 20 of which were
oil producers gassers and dry hole.

Following a request of the highway department of the United States gov- ernment to State Engineer B. M. At wood, at Phoenix, for a report as to prison labor on roads = Arizona, the State Engineer, selecting the Bisbee- Tombstone stretch of roadway as an example of such work in the state a report has been made by Engineer C. w. Douglas, of the local division.
 The report is brief, but comprenene sive, and sets out strikingly the Gif- ference between prison labor under efficient management as compared with paid labor. The report follows:
 (By C. w. Douglas, Asst Engineer)
 The question O. results obtained by the use of convict as against free or paid labor on road construction has been discussed by engineers and con structiOn men at different times, and has always been quite a difference of opinion: some maintaining that the cheap cost of prison labor is offset by inefficiency and lack of care in do- ing work.
 The grades and cost data given be- tow covering the different phases of
 
 Bisbee to Tombstone in Cochise coun- ty, Arizona, were obtained by an ac- curate and comprehensive system of cost-keeping instituted Dy the State Highway Department as their standard so that there can be no question as 70 the accuracy of the figures given.
 An arrangement is in effect between State Engineer B. M. Atwood and the supervisors of Cochise county where by all prisoners convicted of misde- meanor acts (violatiOn of the prohibit tion law, vagrancy, petty larceny, etc.) are turned over the the state highway department for use on highway con structiOn in this county. The organi- Zation in this county that handles these prisoners under State Engineer Atwood and Division Engineer R. c. Perkins has been built up thoroughly, and is complete in every detail, and consists of an assistant engineer and corps and general foreman with his underforemen and guards. General Foreman Chadwick is a man who un- derstands road construction fully, hay ing had charge of some of the largest railroad construction in this country and Mexico He maintains that prison labor with the necessary expert super vision is more profitable than free or 1 paid labor and performs an equal amount of work per day.
 The prisoners working at the camp ! in this county are for the great ma JOrity MeXicans. An average of so {. per cent are MeXicans, with the re- maining percentage being equally di- ] vided between white, Americans, and

 en hunks. Mattresses, pillows, and blankets are provided in sufficient quantity to keep each man comfort able even m the cOldest weather. San
 itary measures are strictly enforced ana personal cleanliness is demanded Of every man. The food given the
 men is of the best quality and sub stantial, such as fresh meat, fresh veg etabies, potatoes, frijoles, (MeMcan
 beansD, corn bread, etc, no canned goods are used except milk. The kit
 chen force consists of a prisoner cook and two assistants, who are required to be clean in all ways. All orders or requests from the U. s. Food Admlnis- traton are obeyed and the foreman sees that there Is no waste of food by men or cooks.
 The large bunk house where the men sleep is enclosed by a high, close barbed wire fence. The men are re- quired to be in bed by o'clock p. In. Large gasoline lamps are used around the enclosure to make everything wis ible for several hundred feet and an armed guard is on watch until 6 8. m., which is arising time, when they are turned over to the day guards. ArJer breakfast the men are trans ported to the different parts of the work by automobile trucks, arriving at the works in time to start at o'clock. The several gangs are under the direction of a foreman with an armed mounted guard accompanying him to prevent escapes. Dinner IS brought cut to the works by an auto mobile truck unless the men are work ing close to camp. The men work s hours per day that being the legal work-day in Arizona.
 The cost per work day per man is on an average of $1.70, the charges going into this account are camp costs, ccmmissary and guarding, and which also includes clothing, tobacco (smok- ing and chewing, groceries, meat, fuel, water, kitchen help, saddle horses, guards, wages and lighting.) Meals cost on an average of BIC per meal, which is remarkably cheap consider ing the high cost of provisions in this section, and can only be obtained by keeping 9 careful watch on con- missary costs and use.
 The Bisbee-Tombstone Highway is 20 feet wide, carefully graded and com structed as though it were railroad work. Special attention is given drain age, owing to the fact of heavy rain fall at certain seasons of the year and the country being mountainous, it has a very quick rIn-of. The grade is capped with caliche Ga lime and

CAPTAIN GOODE TN LETTER REPLIES TO
 LOCKWOOD
ARMY MAN MAKES COMPARISON OF CONDITIONS OF TODAY WITH THOSE SURROUNDING OLD ARMY AND MAINTAINS HIS CRITICISM JUSTIFIED

In a letter further discussing the questions opened by Judge A. C. Lock wood of the COchise county court in 6 recent speech in this city. Capt. L. P Goode, Thirty-fifth infantry, command ing Company L, stationed at Lowell says:
 Headquarters U. s. Troops,
 Lowell, Ariz., July 30, 1918. Editor Bisbee Daily Review,
 Bisbee, Arizona,
 Dear Sir:
 In replying to Judge LOckwood's letter published in your paper on July 27, 1918, will state that l agree with him in part l have always been op- posed and have discouraged the un restrained association of young girls O. F to 16, or even IS years of age for that matter. with young men but little older. Such associations can mean but little if any good, and if un- checked, almost invariably lead tc evil. | had an opportunity recently UU meet with a group of your teachers in the discussion of this vital question From their discussion in which, parts of Judge Lockwood's speech were quoted, it seems that the military au- thorities are to blame for these things which occur, because of few men in uniform have become involved. As in the past the man in uniform being more conspicuous is singled out as the principal offender and every soldier is apparently judged accordingly.
 The solution to this problem Is as Judge Lockwood suggested in his speech. It rests almost wholly with the influences of the home. Proper training in the home instead of an at titude of indifference on the part or parents whose girls are on the streets will answer the problem when all else fails.
 Relative to the remainder of Judge Lockwood's letter l beg to disagree.
 Lest some should mistake my mean ing let me say here that my remarks are not intended to cast reflection upon the personnel of any of our pres ent forces, be they United States guards, national army, national guard or regular army, but are made in vim dicatiOn of our standing army of the past which made possible our military power of today.
 I regret that the meaning Judge

 The last bids by contractors for this class of work in this section of which the writer has personal knowl- edge was 40c for each enbankment, soc for excavation and from S15.00 to $200O for concrete. These figures will show at a glance that convict labor with skilled supervision will abtain the same results at a cheaper cost and the work done will equal in all respects that done by free or paid labor.
 At this camp the Good Time Sys- tenn is in force, and if a man performs his work well and his conduct is good he receives two days credit on his sentence for each days work perform ed.
