SENATOR HUGHES IN
BISBEE AFTER TRIP
TO TEXAS OIL FIELD
Legislator Astounded by Rap.
id Growth of Burkburnett
Since Strike

After an absence of two weeks, Sen
atOr T. A. Hughes returned yesterday
from a visit TIC the oil fields of Texas.
ard a short business visit to Phoenix
Senator Hughes saiu t is a great -du-
cation to visit the oil districts on ac-
count of the varied activities brought
on by the oil booms.
Fortunes are being made over
night and then again men are ruined
over night through poor investment or
failure 10 strike OIL" said Mr. Hughes
The most outstanding feature Of my
visit is the remarkable growth and
business activity in Burkburnett,
which is IA miles north of Wichita
Falls. In less than five months, APP
proximately 5000 derricks have been
erected, and on land which was form
erly classed as wildcat oil land
When one realizes that an oil der
rick has been constructed on every
available lot and each derrick pro-
duces oil, it is nothing but remarkable.
OF course | don't wish to infer that
there is oil everywhere in that section
and that the opportunities for getting
rich quick are abundant, for in many
places no trace of oil has been found.
1t is only few months ago when the
first oil derrick was erected in Burr
burnett, and it was known as Fowler
No. l. Stock sold originally at 500
share, today it is worth $50 a
share, and at first this section of land
was classed as a wildcat PROPOSE
ton.
Wichita Falls is the more substan-
tial city and apart from being a center
in oil production, many fine resi-
dences and business buildings are now
under course of construction. Two
buildings each containing ten floors
are being built.
Il want to emphasize this said Sen
ator Hughes, 81 am not promoting an
oil company and don't intend to. I |
went to Texas for the benefit of my
self only. 1 say this because rumors |
have. gone about saying intended pro- |
noting an oil company, which is en-
tirely untrue"

COLD STEEL BROUGHT
HUNS DOWNFALL, SAYS
BISBEE WAR VETERAN
Corporal Wilson, Home From
France, Tells of Battle of
the Argonne

Did they fight? Well, say, you be;
they fought and they fought like hell.
but when it came to the cold steel they
couldn't stand it. They got sick at
the stomachs and the Yank went
through them like quicksilver through
a sieve" That was the reply that
Corp. Leo G. Wilson, Hq. Co. 18th F..
A, made to a query regarding the
lighting qualities of the Huns.
Wilson enlisted September. 26. 1871
and after receiving preliminary train
ing at Camp Funston, Kansas. his regi-
ment was embarked for service over
seas in May, 1918. Arriving in France
the regiment was rushed up to the
front lines. The Germans were stub
bcrnly defending st. Mihiel and the
Tanks wanted it. They took it on Oc-
tober IA, 1918, after one of the most
desperate engagements of the war;
At Argonne WOOD
On October 26 his regiment was re-
moved from st. Mihiel and they pene-
trated the Argonne forest. Speaking
of the forest Wilson said that they pro-
ceeded slowly and very cautiously
They had our range" he said. ana
every so often they would throw down
2 barrage that was hell in all its fury.
I'VE got in a good distance and then
we discovered that our supplies
couldn't be brought up. The Germa=
gunners had our range and things
looked mighty bad for awhile but the
Yank just kept on plugging and soon
we had them on the run and the sun
plies started coming up. 1t was a
tough old grind alright and let me tell
you right now that it's all 'bosh' about
those fellows who wish they were
back in the trenches. After you've
been over the top once it's enough for
the best of them"
French Slow Lot
After the regiment had been in the
forest for some time they were re-
lieved and sent to the rear for a short /
rest. Soon the regiment was called
to the defense of Toul and after two
weeks of sanguinary fighting the /
Yankees broke through and penetrated
for distance of II kilometers to the
town of Thiaucort.
1.-THE French" said Wilson, ARE a /
slow lot and their morals are not what
we would tolerate in this country but
they are very patriotic and affection
ate race. Yep, the men kiss each 9TH
er every time they meet. They tried
that stuff on us Yanks but it didn't
work Think of kissing something
with moustache."
Mr.. Wilson is going to stay here
and work in the mines. Bisbee is his
home and he is staying with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Wilson.

STOCK MARKET IS
AGAIN UNSETTLED
Apprehension Over Strike
and Mexican Situation
Affects Market

New York, November 28.-
The stock market again was
severely unsettled today, many
speculative issues falling 5 to
nearly 25 points on a turn
over approximating 100000
shares.
On the stock exchange and in the finan-
cial district generally the break. which
lacked the sensational features Of the
mid November upheaval, was chiefly
ascribed to growing apprehension arising
from the deadlock in the coal strike and
latest events south of the Rio Grande.
Shares of the various coal roads were
only moderately affected, but issues

constant pressure.
European news was again discouraging

Today's setback doubtless owed much
of it's success to the renewed activity of
the bears or short interest, but no small
part of the selling originated, according
to commission houses from discouraged
traders at interior centers.
Another noteworthy feature was the re-
newed selling of heavy volume of liberty

1t now is generally accepted as fact
that liquidation of these bonds is in pro-
