mile and only a few miles from
Glenrio. At Nara Visa things are
shaping up for early drilling. Glen
rio has prospects Of an early test.
Across the Texas line rigs are 60
ing in.
At Taiban in De Baca County re-
ports have it that all parties have
gotten together and that drilling viii
soon be under way. The rig arrived
some time ago. The formation around
Taiban is considered very favorable
for oil and more companies are
planning to begin work there.
The Portales people are making
progress, but as far as known, have
not begun to set up = rig for drilling.
though this is expected to happen
before long. At Kenna the derrick
Is going up and it is expected that
drilling viii be under way before the
end of the month.
In the Pecos Valley the Illinois
Producing and Refining Company is
working on the second well at Day
ton. 1t is reported that the present
owners of the Brown we'll near Day
ton will drill another we'll close
to it. The Seven Rivers Company is
reported to be ready for active oper-
ations west of Lakewood. The Lin
coin we'll near Lake Arthur is re-
ported to blow up at intervals, show
ing indications of gas and some oil.
The Tularosa Basin has more oil
companies than any other district in
the state. But so far no actual drill
ing is under way. The Cox and Eagle
rigs are being shaped up and another
rig is reported at Valmont
In San Juan County negotiations
are in progress for a stronger com
pany to take over the Mesa Verde
well at Flora Vista. The indications
of oil are good and it is to be hoped
that this location may be tested out
fully.
There seems to be no lack OF preli-
minary interest in every part OF the
state. Leases are still being made
and placer locations filed In other
parts pools are being organized to
offer acreage to drillers. More peo-
pie are coming in to look over con
ditions. All this is promising for
a state wide test in time.

ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOLS
IN STATE OF NEW MEXICO

The department OF Education under
the direction of Jonathan n. Wag-
ner, Superintendent of Public In
struction. is accomplishing much in
getting system into the educational
work of the state. Well directed
efforts are being made to bring all
the high schools up to standard. This
has been very successful the last
year. The standard set by the North
Central Association has been adopt
ed the past year by eight high
schools in the state. The total ac-
credited schools are now eighteen and
others are ready to be brought up to
standard.
This is OF much importance to the
students in the high schools. At
tending an accredited school and
~ aduating therefrom, the students
may enter higher institutions of
learning without taking an entrance
examination. not only in New Mex
leo but in other states. The diploma
of an accredited high school is gen.
orally recognized.
The high schools and preparatory
departments in the following New
Mexico towns are already on the
accredited list: Albuquerque. Ala
mogordo. Artesia. Carlsbad. Clayton.
Clovis. Gallup. Deming. East Las
Vegas, Las Cruces, Ration. Roswell,
Santa Fe. Tucumcari, and the pre-
paratory departments OF the Normal
University at Las Vegas, the Normal
School at Silver City, Military ms
titute at Roswell, and the State Col
lege at Las Cruces. Any student
completing the high school course in
any one of these will be admitted to
college work. without examination.

MINING NOTES

The Chino Copper Company, opera
ting at Hurley and Santa Rita, re-
ported that operations were carried
on at serious loss the first quarter
of 1919 The company hopes to con-
tinue operations at fifty per cent
capacity until the demand for cop
per improves.
The Republic Mining and Milling
Company, operating at Hanover,
Grant County, reports a net protit
of $s2O0W for the year 1913. The
report gives ore as blocked out as
1900 tons On the dump are oWO
tons OF twenty per cent zinc ore
and 5O,000 tons of fifty-eight per
cent iron ore.
The Pyramid Mining Company
operating near Lordsburg recently
cut a nine feet vein of good grade
silver ore on the 800 foot level. The
main shaft has been unwatered for
more than 400 feet and development
work is to commence on the lower
levels.

sociates have acquired mica deposits
in Taos County and also in Rio Ar
riba. Mira is worth from one and a
half to two cents pound.
Though the PhelpsDodge Corpor
alton has shut down its mines in the
Burro mountains near Tyrone, at
tention is turned to development
work and repairs. the entire force
being retained. Though the cost OF
development work is high, il will be
carried on with view of being pre-
pared for more extensive mining
when the metal market improves.
Jicarilla mining camp in Lincoln
county is getting ready for operations
on a more extensive scale. The new
railroad from Luna will give a good
outlet for ore. Many old time miners
are returning to the camp and new
capital is also coming into the filed
Manganese was much in demand
during the war. Since then the de-
mand has been small. II is reported
that as soon as steel industry revives
there will again be a good demand
for manganese from the New Mex
leo mines.
Plans are being laid for develop
ment of the silver mines in the Her
mosa district in Sierra County
When the price of silver slumped in
the early nineties operations OF
mines ceased. At present it looks
like early mining activity there.

has asked Us 20 help hin reach the
people Of southern New Mexieo dur.
ing the Thrift and Savings Stamp
drive now oA. aad in the campaign
for more stamps sales which will ex-
tend throughout the year.
Il is an open question At this time
whether it will be necessary for the
government to place another bond
issue to finish paying for the war.
One way to avoid this is by the
sale OF enough War Stamps to bling
in the required amount. and Treas
ury officials are trying to meet the
deficiency in this way.
The State Record believes that il
will be better for both the people
and government to Finish the job"
by the sale of War Stamps, which
are a better investment for the peo-
pie than the bonds and involve a
shorter interest paying period for
the government. and will heartily CO
operate with the Treasury officials
to that end.
We quote one paragraph from Mr..
Browns letter to the State Record,
which speaks for itself:
81 have been reading the New Mex
ico State Record this year with con-
siderable interest. since the South

GENERAL
HEADS NEW OIL COMPANY

One of the most recent oil offers
to the people of Santa Fe and New
Mexico is lots in the tract of IS
acres proven ground near Electra
now being sold by the Texas-Atlas
Oil Company. The tract has been
cut into 1900 lots and all but sixty
of these flour in the center of each
acre reserved as drilling sites) are
being Offered at 5000 per lot on
easy terms. which also entities the
holder to one share out of 700 in
the company.
The trustee and promoters agree
to begin drilling as soon as 400 lots
are sold, and to drill at least three
wells whether or not oil is struck
IN the first or second we'll.
Adjutant General James Baca is
president of the company and A.
NJ Labry, also of this city is the
vice president. both have been on
the ground and are enthusiastic over
the prospects for shallow oil quick.
T. ]. Caldwell, recently of Albu-
querque, but a man of several years
experience in the oil game in Illinois.
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas is sales
manager and is spending the week
in Santa Fe. He reports that the
sale of lots is already progressing
at a rapid rate, and that it will be
only a few days until the drilling
starts.

TEST WELL AT TAIBAN
TO BE STARTED SOON

That the Clovis Oil Company'S well
will be drilled at Taiban in the very
near future, Is now an assured fact
Contract was signed up last week be,
tween the Clovis Oil Company own
ers of 10000 acres of land in the
Taiban district and Arthur Kelsey
|. w. CuIp d. J. Lynch, Art Smith
and n. w. Magee of Ranger and
De Leon, Texas, for the drilling of a
deep test well on the company's hold
ings near Taiban. The rig which was
shipped in a couple of weeks ago
is now being unloaded and will be
hauled out to the well site east of
Taiban in a few days. ]. Leitz, a
driller of % years experience, has
been engaged as chief driller, and
he is now on the ground with his
three associates ready to begin oper-
ations. II. w. Magee, secretary of
the De Leon Company came up from
the work of experimenting the re-
moval of the rig to the we'll site.
$4,000 cash has been placed in es-
crow in the Bank of Commerce at
Taiban as a guarantee of good faith
to the land owners. Under the con-
tract. actual drilling operations will
begin within the next twenty days.
That oil in paying quantities can be
found in the Taiban basin if drilling
is carried on to a sufficient depth, is
testified to by men throughout this
part of the country. Chief F. E.
Sadler of the Clovis Police Depart
ment was in Taiban at the time the
railroad well there was drilled to a
depth of 600 feet and says that the
skim OF oil on the water taken from
that we'll was very much in evidence
and that the water contained too
much oil to use it for engine pur-
poses. J. A. Rayburn a Clovis car
penter. who was employed by the
Santa Fe Company at Taiban says
that a native residing at Taiban who
had constructed a dam across a ra-
vine for the purpose of irrigating his
garden. was unable to use the flush
water from the well because of the
heavy deposit of oil on the surface.
Many such stories as these are told
of evidences of oil in that district.
And this, together with the fact that
seven noted geologists have all pro-
nounced favorably upon the structure
of the land has been leading factor
in the matter to give Clovis people
faith in the proposition.

That Eddy county, New Mexico is
becoming an important cotton pro-
ducing county is shown from the re-
port just issued by R. F. Hare, Field

ates.
The 9798 acres of cotton planted
in Eddy county this year had a con-
dition of 100 per cent of normal on

cent on this date last year.
Last years acreage was 7147. and
the production was 36l7 bales of
500 pounds each, and 1890 tons of

HARVEST hEI NOT o PLENTIFUL

From eastern New Mexico wheat
fields comes reports that help for
the harvest is short Though the
need for man power has been re-
duced to minimum by the use of the
most improved harvesting machinery.
farmers find that they can not read
ily obtain the men they need. As
soon as the grain is cut, there will
be Just as strong demand for men
for the threshing. In many places
the straw is very rank and This will
end to lengthen the threshing period.

SAN JUAN HAS LIGHT
FRUIT CROP THIS YEAR

4 letter received from a friend
OF the State Record IN San Juan
county this week gives a few fig
ures on the fruit crop there this
season. as follows: Apples 2S per
cent, cherries 10 per cent, Peaches
none, Grapes 30 per cent. Berries
80 per cent.
The people of that resourceful
county are however, going more into
live stock raising. with the result
that they are more prosperous than
a few years ago. and a short fruit
crop now is not such a set b. OK to
he county in general, as it would
have been a few years ago when
fruit was depended upon to a greater
extent
