FIELD NOTES

At the Adamana Oil Company's
shale, which contains traces of oil,
being a very encouraging indication
and it is the opinion of the manage
ment that the present drilling is in
cap rock as the going is very diff
cult, the formation indicative and the
oil showing encouraging. Tours are
being run at this well as usual Fre-
quent visitors to the well return with
the conviction that the indications
and probabilities are such as to war
rant the most active interest and the
confidence in the field already felt,
is being appreciably accelerated by
the showing being made at this we'll.
The Hopi-Wind River well is run
ming tours as usual and the indica-
tions already encountered are said to
be more than encouraging. Another
water strata has been drilled through
and it. was necessary to underdrain
again in order to case this water off
with the present string Of casing. 4
new steel bull wheel has arrived anG
will be taken to the well Immediately
The drilling at present is in a hare
Gaping, thought to be the red wall
under which the oil is to be ex-
pected, and much interest is man
ifested in the continued progress of the
drilling. This formation is estimatet
variously, at from 600 to 1000 feet ir
thickness. 1t will not be long, at the
rate of progress Supt. CLOSER has
been making, until the drill will prove
up this we'll, and the indications to
date warrant considerable optimism
as to the result of this exploration.
Drilling at the Holbrook Oil Com
pany well is still in Coconino sand
stone, the depth of this formation al.
ready penetrated at this we'll being
over 100 feet greater in thickness
than heretofore encountered in Other
wells in the field. The big rig il
working every day and Dad Hastings
is making exceptionally good prog.
ress considering the nature of the
drilling. Visitors to the well during
the week included ]. Bernard Mac
Donald of Jerome, heavy stock
holder in the company. Mr.. MacDon.
aid expressed himself as more thar
pleased with the efficient rig and the
progress being made.
A resume of activities in the field
during the past week shows nothing
Of startling nature, although the
general activity and continuous work
Is making excellent progress towar(
the ultimate test of the field. AS We
have before remarked, in the drilling
of an oil we'll, there are very few oc-
casions for thrills until the actual
encounter with the oil bearing sands
We have, however, occasion to be
very optimistic before that point has
been reached, through the recent pen
etration of regular, bona fide an(
unmistakeable Pennsylvania and, in
dicative of the oil deposits below
Conditions, however, are much the
same as last week, four companies ac-
tually drilling and fifth and sixth
in immediate prospect of operation
and this in itself is excellent news
We have the further expressed desirl
of the Allen Oil Company to enter
the field, as in their opinion, the
chances are very favorable. Coming
from conservative sources, this is OF
considerable weight.

SHIP VALUES UP.
Standard Oil Steamer Goes From
$4,000 to $2,2OO,00O.

Just how spectacular was the
rise in ship values during the war
was shown yesterday in an an
nouncement by the war risk in
surance bureau that the Standard
Oil Company's steamer John D..
Archbold, first ship insured by
the government agency, was pro-
tected by a policy of $4,000 in
1914, but when she was torpedoed
in 1917 her insurance had been
increased to $2,20O,OOO.
The marine and seamen's di-
vision of the bureau, which is
winding up it's affairs, now that
dangers from mines and subma-
rines no longer exist, paid losses
on 152 vessels with tonnage Of
1859, and on 275 lives lost by
the hazards of war. Total none
tary losses amounted to about
$3O,OOO,OOO.

FIGHT DAYLIGHT BILL
Attempt TO Hang Repeal Rider on
Farm Bill Defeated in House

Representative Mondell, the
Republican floor leader asked the
House interstate commerce COM
mittee to report the bill repeal
ing the daylight savings act with
out recommendation. He said
since there was such a wide
spread interest in daylight saw
ings, members were entitled to
the privilege "of threshing the
matter out for themselves"
The request was opposed by
members of the committee who
declared such action would be a
REIMBURSEMENT of their delegat-
ed rights" Representative Web
ster, Republican of Washington,
declared the Republican floor
leader "had no right to make such
an unusual request"
Opponents of the daylight saw
ing act made another unsuccess-
full effort today to include in the
1920 agricultural appropriation
bill an amendment providing for
the repeal of the act.
e Chairman Haugen of the agri-
cultural committee introduced the
amendment, but a point of order
was raised against it by Repre-
sentative La Guardia, Republican
of New York.

YAzOO GROWS PEACHES.
Continuous Rains, However, Have
Injured Early Crop.

Yazoo County peaches are GO
ing to market in good quantities,
and there is plenty Of evidence
of an increasing interess in fruit
in the county. Within the past
few years many new orchards
have been put out in the county.
The continuous rains, however,
have been hard on The early
peaches, and it is said that this
year they have rotted badly in the
county. Early peaches are said
never to equal the late peaches in
flavor and also due to the rainy
season, they lack the flavor they
ordinarily have this yessr. How
ever the early peaches are not
without appreciation, and it is al
so. said that peach co1bler has

ANARCHISTS ATTEMPT
REIGN OF TERROR
Bomb Explosion Occur Simulta-
neously in Many Different
Parts of the Country

Washington, June 3.-Another
attempted reign of terror, direct
ed chiefly against public officials
who have been active in their
prosecution, was launched by
American redicals shortly before
midnight last night.
A bomb explosion which dam
aged the residence of Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer in the
fashionable northwest section Of
Washington, but which apparent
ly resulted only in the death of
the bomb planter, were followed
at intervals by similar explosions
in seven other cities in a belt ex-
tending from Cleveland to Boston.
Besides Washington, Cleveland
and Boston, cities in which bomb
outrages occurred, were Pitts
burg, Patterson, N. j., West
Philadelphia, New York and New
tonville, Mass, West Philadelphia
and Pittsburg were subjected to
two separate explosions.
Bombs intended by Anarchists
for men who had directed the
force of law against them pro
nounced sentence against radi-
Gals or introduced legislation in
tended to check their machina-
tions failed in every case to claim
their victims. In several cases,
however, families of public Of
ficials themselves experienced
narrow escapes. The death toll Of
two taken in the Washington and
New York explosions recoiled up
on investigators of the reigning
terrorism, according to first con-
clusions reached by the police. In
some instances innocent pedes-
trains were injured more or less
severely.
What may turn out to be the
first clue leading to identification
of the anarchists was obtained in
this city and Boston where the
police discovered circulars and
hand bills signed ''The Anarchis
tic Fighters"
The bill, serving warning that
a general war was to be waged
against leaders of society as now
ganized was the only clue report
ed discovered at an early hour
this morning. Coming on the
heels of the nation wide May day
plot, secret service officials could
only interpret explosion follow
ing explosion as an organized
outburst without much doubt
planned by the same group Of
radicals as had engineered the
outrages perpetrated last month

PEACE TERMS TO STAND.
Council Of Four Unmoved by Ger
man Arguments.

The greater part of the objec-
tions raised in the German coun-
ter proposals have in the opinion
of French diplomatic and politi-
cal circles, already been set
forth in separate German notes
and duly answered by the allies.
Consequently it is said there can
be no modification of the peace
terms and there is no necessity
for verbal discussions in which
the Berlin government desires to
involve the allied powers.
1t is understood the council of
four will agree in taking this
view in answering the Germans.
The German peace delegation
has been notified that the period
of delay for presenting observa-
tions having expired at 3 p. m.
Thursday, no further notes will
be accepted from the delegation.
1t became known that the Ger
man counter proposals were ac-
companied by a covering letter of
ten typewriter pages. The letter
apparently is the work of Count
Won Brockdorff-R f-Rantzau, as it is
more conciliatory and adroit than
the counter proposals which were
elaborated by the Berlin govern
ment. The letter paints a most
gloomy picture of the fate to
which the peace terms condemn
Germany. 1t refers to the sacred
character of treaties, disavows
the treaty made with Russia at
Brest-Litoysk and concludes with
the following phrase:
"We shall only undertake those
obligations which we are sure of
keeping, because it is the German
people who in the last resort will
give it's assent to the treaty.

FEARS COAL SHORTAGE.
Says Country Is Short $4,000, 900
Tons; 10000 Miners Lost

DR.. Garfield, while iii Chicago
to address the national coal con-
vention, said the affairs Of the
fuel administration terminate
with peace, so far as he is con-
cerned, and he will resume the
presidency Of Williams College.
Buy coal now," he said, August
will be too late. This country is
short 48,000,0O0 tons of coal this
year and 100000 miners have
been lost to the industry. I
certainly believe the fuel ad-
ministration justified it's exist
ence; figures complied at Wash
ington by my assistants prove
that. / can say with pride our ad-
ministration of fuel supplies of
America and much of .he world
during the war helped greatly in
it's winning"
