BoNILLAS BOOM CROW
 ING FAST IN MEXICO

st According to recent copies of Elcel- sior and Universay, the two largest papers published in Mexico city, that have been received in Douglas and Agua Prieta, there is now a we'll de fined movement on foot to sidetrack the candacy of both Obregon and Gonzales for the presidency-of Mexico in favor of a compromise candidate, one who is a civil and not military man.
 This movement is due, according to the papers to the intense bitterness that has already been injected into the fight between Obregon, and Con gales in spite of the fact that the cleo tion is nearly year off. If the cam paign is this bitter at this stagt i it is feared it may reach the fighting point before the election occurs, ol even after, for both men are generals and both have a large following il the army.

 BURKBURNETT
Telegrams From Ft. Worth Bring Out . Smiles of Giadness Among Local
 Stockholders With Announcement of
 4000 Barrel Gusher.

There was a noticeable stir around Clifton on Friday afternoon as tele- grams to stockholders in The West ern Star Oil Co.,, operating in the Burkburnett field in Texas, announced that four thousand barrel we'll gush- CT had come in on the company's property on Block 98, at an approxi- mate depth of 1850 feet. Smiles that make for gladness illuminated the countennce of several local citizens and the telephones were kept busy carrying the glad tidings to all parts of the district.
 Stock in the Western Star was large lv held in Clifton, Morenci and Met calf and was originally purchased at par value $10.00 per share H. c. Beals, of Ft Worth, an uncle of R. H. Pringle, Assistant Manager of the A. c. Co. store is President of the con- pany, and MT. Pringle is one of the largest stockholders in the district.
 In the beginning Western Star had a run of hard luck The company was the owner of forty three acres in the !'urkburnett field and started explora- tion work with a capital of $75, 1000. The first well drilled by the Company, lon Block 5S at an approximate expense of $25,000 proved a failure and was abandoned at a depth of 1850 feet when nothing stronger than salt wat CT was encountered. The rig and drilling apparatus was left on the ground and the company transferred its operations to Block 9S where a contract was made with the owner of one acre, in the heart of the produc- tion district, providing that The Western Star Go. would drill well on this acre on fifty-fifty basis. Drilling on this acre was started about two months ago and their effort was crowned with success this week A telegram sent by .~ F.. V. Horton, dated at Ft Worth on Friday and re- tceived by Max Juelg. states that the we'll brought in by the Western Star is a 4000 barrel gusher, one of the largest in the BurkbMrnett district. This we'll is located in close prox- unity to the M. &- P. Burke Waggcner and Texas Chief. The Western Star stockholders will share \in one half of this production or 2OOO barrels daily Under the contract with the owner of the acreage, a second we'll must be started within ten days.
