had California experts working in

drill deep for oil
During the past week a party Of
eight Silver City people located eight
sections of land in the Playas country.
The excitement over oil in this sec
ton continues to increase from day to
day and Silver City people are widely
interested in property in different
parts of Texas, in the Tularosa basin
and in the Pecos country. Sales Of
stock have been on the increase and
as the country is largely composed Of
people who are accustomed to playing
long shots we bid fair to become a
community largely composed of mill
lionaires or one where the price OF
coke would be all right if it were
not for the war tax.
A large number Of Grant county

ganized Southwestern Oil Develop
ment company capitalized at two mil

Roswell, N. M, May 1S.-The sight
Of two big army airplanes bearing
RosweIleans across the sky above this
city was enjoyed by Roswell people
this week, the planes spending more
than two hours IN the air.
Mrs. w. w. Phillips and Miss Esther
Prayer went up. The Instructions
under which the aviators are working,
permitted Just two civilians IN each
city visited to take the flight, the
heaviest bond buyer in the community
and the lady settings the most Liberty
bonds. John w, Poe, president OF the
Citizens National bank, was the larg-
est Liberty loan buyer and would
have been privileged to make the
flight had he not given his place to
Mrs. w. w. Phillips, Chaves county
Liberty loan chairman. The other
fortunate one was Miss Esther Prayer.
The ladies. rather than decide which
one sold the largest number Of bonds,
drew lots and Miss Prayer won and
took the flight.
Mrs. Phillips went up with Captain
Walter f. de Steiger and Miss Prayer
with Lieutenant p. j.. Sparkling, They
made their way from the institute
grounds over the city many times and
back. Captain Steiger with Mrs.
Phillips, made his way into the low
lying clouds and many times the ma
chine was lost from sight and would
come out again at some Unexpected
point. The flight was not only thrill
ing, but beautiful as the machines
shadow could oftentimes be e on
the clouds while the machine itself
was out Of sight.
Mrs. Phillips wired Washington for
special permission to permit more OF
the Liberty Loan workers to take a
flight.
During the morning the aviators
made a number of daring flights. do
ing stunts in the air. such as glides,
loops and other feais.
The aviators left for P~ortales, Clovis
and Tucumcari where they will end
their trip. They are from Carrothers
Field, near Fort Worth, and arrived
from Pecos, Artesia and Carlsbad,

The cultivation OF a new field crop

(Silxar CITY Enterprisa.

Texas doesn't necessarily have all
the oil nor Southern Grant county all
the good oil prospects. AS a matter
Of fact there exists just north Of Lone
Mountain a seepage Of oil which has
been known to have been in existence
for 80 years. 1t was merely a matter
of curiosity by those who knew of IL
and that 1t was one of the best pos
sible indications of oil underneath
never struck any one until within re-
recent weeks when 80 per cent Of all
conversation became oleaginous. The
seepage is located a few miles north
OF Lone Mountain in the neighborhood
Of the Clark Rodgers ranch, and Is
well known by I. w. Holson of Silver
City to have been there more than 80
years ago.
The natural ~supposition IS that
some fault in the structure has per-
mitted the oil beneath to get to the
surface and the prospects for a big
we'll are greatly increased thereby
since it is we'll known that a fault is
the best possible indication of pro
ducing oil structure.
No sure to-goodness oil geologist
has studied the lay of the country
for oil possibilities but some OF those
more or less yersed in the science
state that the dip OF the structure in
dicates an oil basin which covers the
Arenas valley and may extend well to
the foot Of the Pinos Altos mountains
Those interested have been so inn
pressed as to proceed to take leases
on all property upon which they can
be secured and after an experts opin-
ion has been secured action will
doubtless be taken to test the matter
cut BY drilling,
From the Playas district, which is
more or less in the limelight, comes
the story OF the existence of mud
burns. 1t is said that cowboys
who worked in that part Of the coun-
try where fuel for heating branding
irons is very scarce discovered that
black mud would burn and
produce an unusual amount Of heat
for the volume of fuel, This story
like mama from heaven for
