Excitement Now Centering In Peeos
Valley. Mostly Around Eddy
County
More Wells TO be Sunk Than First An
tieipated; $4,000 Acres under
Leases

Interest in oil exploration and de-
velopment In New Mexico Is growing
by leaps and bounds. Applications for
oil leases continue 10 pour into the
state land Office In greater number.
Individuals. oil pools. and syndicates
are securing the state 10 obtain control
Of every foot Of land through lease or
location. even rough mountains being
included.
Oil companies are being Organize'i
10 test out the locations In many parts
Of the state. around thirty companies
having been incorporated In less than
three months other companies are
ready to incorporate. Several older oil
companies have become active. For
eign companies are becoming Interested
in locations and going To work drilling.
A remarkable feature Is the fact
that old hands In the oil game In Okla
homa. Texas. California. and other
states are enterng New Mexico in large
numbers. These men have made for
tunes in developing new fields in re-
cent years. They have employed expe-
rienced geologists to find new locations
and have succeeded In locating large
new fields That these same men come
into the atnte Is most encouraging.
Their geologists evidently are finding
conditions promising, judging from the
confidence Of their principals In start
ing operations.
II needs to he noticed lso that repu-
table BUSINESS men IN New Mexico are
taking deep interest In the oil pros
poets Of their sections. In the past
the bankers and business men gener-
ally have given the efforts to explore
for oil slight attention. much less risk
ed any money in sinking test wells.
They have evidently seen new light
and become convinced that II is worth
while to have the conditions tried out
| thoroughly.

Became Superstitious"

The last criminal case to come to trial
In the district court came up Monday
morning. when Mary White, a negress
camp follower of the 2ith infantry,
was placed on trial for assault with Il
deadly weapon with intent to kill, upon
Frank Woodall, u negro soldier. The
difficulty occurred at Columbus ON the
night Of March 18th.
II seems from the testimony that
Woodall. the prosecuting witness, was
n frequent visitor at the home Of Mary.
IL developed that woodall depended
largely upon Mary to replenish his ex-
chequer when the crap game went
against him. On this night, according
to Woodalrs story. he went to Mary's
abode for some clothes. According to
Mary's version he came TO her demand
ing money They got into u difficulty.
Woodall said he grabbed nm ugly knife
and threw II ont doors Mary said he
grabbed the knife and attacked her.
aud she grabbed an automatic gun with
which 10 defend herself woodall said
about that time he "became supersti-
tious" and started to run. Mary said
inst then she got excited and started
after woodall. firing as she went The
more excited Mary became. the faster
she Squirted lead from the automatic,
and the faster the automatic squirted
the more superstltious wOodall became
and the faster he ran, but not fast
enough TO avoid being overtaken In a
tender part by one Of the flying mis-
siles.
The only witnesses In the case out.
side Of the parties involved were an.
other colOred member OF the oath and
the constable OF Columbus The con.
stable did not come upon the scene OF
action till the fracas was over. The
jury had to make up Its mind mostly
from the wild statements Of the ac-
cused and the accuseress-the one
laboring under a sudden attack OF "su-
perstition.' the other excited" Ev-
identity the testimony was more anus
ing TO them than convincing. for they
brought In a verdict Of not guilty. TAX
ing the view that Mary had a right to
chase a crap-shootIng negro out OF her
home even at the point Of an automatic
"squirt-gun."

Playas Looming Large

The Playas section Of Grant county
continues to attract wide attention as
n prospective oil field. Experts from
California, Texas and Oklahoma. who
have gone over the valley are almost
unanimous In declaring that. so far as
surface indications go. there are better
prospects for oil in the Playas valley
than any other part Of New
Mexico. Silver City people have large

Arthur SkeatS, junior member of
the firm of SkeatS and Skeats, geolo-

sands in which oil was generally found
were known 10 lay in the Pecos valley
basin, where in several of the Texas
fields only one or two Of these identi-
cal sands were found. Lieut.. Skeats,

that the PecoS valley fields had three

TRACTOR SCHOOL
A BIG SUCCESS
international Harvester Company's ~
structors Give Farmers vaiu-
able Help on Tractors.

All who attended the tractor scnooi
which closed Saturday afternoon at
bartholomew Bros. sales-rooms after q
two days session were well satisfied IN
ievery respect. All that we We're aoie
TO talk to said that they were so Well
lpleased that should a school be held
within reasonable distance another
they will be sure to attend.
A no more timely subject than the
Operation of tractors could possibly
have been studied in this community.
1T Is timely both from the standpoint
THAT there are many new tractor w
jers and also from the absolute necess-
iity OF keeping all the tractors working
this following season. We all know
THAT it takes power and plenty OF II
to produce the most crops and to get
the farm work done on time. If the
tractors are laid up for repairs, or
some little adjustments, it is valuable
time lost. The object OF these tractor
schools is to give tractor owners ana
others interested in power farming
some first-aid work for the tractor.
A very fortunate feature of the trac-
tor school was its ~practicability.
The Instructor, MI. G. r. Jeffery,
from Davenport certainly knew his
subject and knew how 90 pring out
the points In a clear, understandable
fashion. He started in at the beginning
and went through the principles Of OPP.
Grafton of an internal combustion en-
igfne, and step by step took up the var.
ious systems into which the mechan.
ism Of a tractor could be divided. For
instance, mechanical and power sys.
tenn. fuel and ~carbureting system, ig'
milton system. l~ubricating system. gov
erning system. air and gas system.
If there has been any apprehension
in this community about the use oil
low-grade fuels In tractors. we are
glad to sayt that this school has cleared
up this important phase Of tractor
farming. We are satisfied that IL a
tractor is built right, 1t will operate
successfully on kerosene and other low
grade fuels. It certainly seems greatly
to the farmers advantage to have q
tractor that will produce power on low
priced kerosene-coal oil-or distil
late.
Among those attending the schoo
were Samuel Peterson, Hamilton, Ill.

held here next year the attendance will
be much larger because we have moth
