ARGONAUTS RETURN

Charles Osborne, W. E. Ferguson, Wm. Lee and Louis Kuehne returned from a trip to the Navajo reser- Ivation yesterday, after an absence of seven or eight days. They report the going somewhat different from the California boulevards, but nevertheless they arrived at their destination in due time andfollowed their own tracks back. Postmaster Osborne gained five pounds on the trip and the balance of the party look we'll fed. All eff forts to ascertain who at- tended to the cooking have failed, but it is evident the cook and the "chuck" were quite sufficient for the .occa- sion.

PRISONER RECAPTURED

John Greaves, bound over to the Superior Court on the charge of murdering a Mex ican boy at Winslow, and who, with two others escaped from the County jail on the 10th of last month, has been recaptured at Albuquerque, according to advices from the Sheriff's office.

Under Sheriff Dewitt, who has been keep ing vigiIant eye for the es- capped prisoner. learned of the probable whereabouts of Greaves, and from state ments made deduced that he would probably get further out of the country, having probably made a stake sui ficent to travel on, and. wired Albuquerque officers to be on the lookout as it was. inn probable that Greaves would head west. The result of thewire was. .GreaYes' prompt arrest in the New Mexico city. Under Sheriff Dewitt will leave for Albuquerque today to bring back the pris- oner.

PLACER. AND LEASING
 BILL INTEREST HOLBROOK

A news item in the Daily Mining 6 Financial Record of Denver, has created much interest among the locators of oil claims in this district.
 Washington mining claims in the United States and Alaska are exempted from alassessment work for 1919 under a resolution adopted Saturday by the House and sent to the Sen ate. Previous legislation had resulted in confusion and the new measure was passed to make plain that it was not necessary for a claimant to. work this year in order to retain his rights. "
 A conference committee has been appointed to con slider the amendments to the oil and leasing bill.
 The Albuquerque Journal of today's date publishes the folIowingte telegramfrom Sen ator A. A. Jones:
 House and Senate have passed house joint resolution 241 suspending annual as- sessment work on mining claims for 1919, regardless of number of claims owned by any one person as re- quired by Section 2324, Re vised Statutes, provided | claimant files notice of his desire to hold claims under this resolution on or before December 31, 1919, in office where location notice is re- corded. Resolution goes to President for his approval.

CHANGE IN ADMISSION
 FOR CHILDREN


 Mir. Waters, manager o1 the Pastime theatre, after studying the situation over, has arrived at the conclusion that the regular admission price of 20 cents. now being charged for children twelve years of age and under, is in excess, and that it provesrto be a hardship on some, es- pecially where there are a number of children in one family. The government in drafting the laws for the government tax is very spec fife regarding the age limit, of twelve years to be the maxium age to be considered as proper age to constitutela child's ticket. MT. Waters has decided to lower the price for children of twelve years and under, from the present price of 20 cents to, that of 15 cents each. How ever, he states that he must have the hearty cooperation of the parents in giving the correct age of children, and beginning Saturday, Novem- Der 8th, will in the future charge 15 cents for children of twelve years and under.

THE WILDCATTER

Just how much credit is due the "wildcatter" in the oil world few people realize.
 It isalways the "wildcatter'' who proves the hitherto un- unproven fields and makes possible the enormous for tunes which have been made in oil, also making possible the acquisition of proven lands by the big producing companies, who seldom take a chance. If it were not for the 'twildcat" operator there would be no new fields dis covered. He t a k e S the chances, bears the grief and reaps the reward. The term wildcat is often confused as to it's meaning with the word flake, and the two are totally dissimilar. A wildcat operation is perfectly legitimate and offers to the invest or an enormous re- turn for the money invested, commensurate with tn e chance he takes in a wildcat field.
 Conditions in Holbrook are perhaps somewhat different in that large producing com panies are evidently willing to come in before the oil is actually produced in com quanties, and this is probably due to the unani- nous endorsement by the leading geologists and the actual oil showings already made by the so-called wild cat" operator. In Holbrook there is no doubt of eventual production and so the big companies are taking time by the forelock in the nego- tiations for acreage in this field.
 All honor to the wildcat ter," but do not confuse the term with fake promotions, for wildcat" means "un- proven" not "bunk." Only technically is Holbrook still a wildcat, for the oil show ings discovered are convinc- ing.

STOCKMEN OF STATE MUST
 RE-RECORD THEIR BRANDS

Only about half the stock
 men of the State have re-re-
 corded their brands with the
 State Live Stock Sanitary
 Board as yet. Less than two
 months remain in which they
 can insure for themselves
 the ownership of old time brands. Any brand not re- recorded by December 18th is open for use and will be- long to the first man who re- cords it as required by law.
 According to Secretary Ed. w. Stephens of the Live Stock Sanitary Board, the re-recording of the brands has been increasing in volume steadily. At the same time a very large portion of the live brands are still unre- corded. Should the owners overlook their duty too long, there is a possibility that de- signing individuals may re- cord these brands in their own names. The present owners, with stock running under the brands would then find themselves facing what might prove to be very seri- ous complications if not act ual loss.
 Orders have been sent to every Livestock Inspector in the department to notify all stockmen as far as they can of the necessity of re-record- ing their brands and to warn them of the shortness of the time remaining in which they may protect their rights to ownership. In this way, the Live Stock Sanitary Board hopes to reduce to a mini the number of brands in actual use and not yet re- corded.

FIELD NOTES


 ports steady progress in mak-
 ing hole, although the form
 ation continues to be hard, though an agree e a bl c change after the long pound
 ing of coconino sandstone so
 plentifully encou n tere d.
 Numerous stockholders of
 the company who have visit ed the rig the past week are enthusiastic over the good progress being made on this hole and Dad Hastings has new incentive to continue the good progress already made judging from the many complimentary remarks. The new truck for the big tank is expected on the ground shortly in plenty of time to take care of the additional tour contemplated by the management. Depth of this we'll to date is approximately 800 feet or better.
 At the Adamana well work is being pushed asrapidly as. possible. The drill has re- gently passed through the strata of black shale, which is heavily saturated with oil and the drilling is now in very hard formation of blue lime. The indications are the best yet as to oil sands underlying thiscapping. MT. Irving L. Carl, who has had charge of this we'll, has de- parted for California to take entire charge of the com pany's holdings in the Ven tura field and rush develop ment there. MT. l.. A. Clam pitt, who has been with the companyfor the past four months, has taken charge of the company's drilling in this field. The rig is being closed in and made comfortable for the cold weather and several changes have been made in order to facilitate the hand ling of the rig. o
 
 Superintendent Glosser of the Wind River company, who are drilling the Hopi | well, returned from Denver the forepart. of the week. Work at this well has been comparatively slow since the encounter with the last flow of water. Whether under roaming will be attempted or not on this occasion we are not advised. This we'll has reached an interesting stage, having recently en- countered a sand heavily inn pregnated with oil at a loca- tion which is thought to be just at the top of the red wall formation under which geologists have. advised will be found the productive sands. Some 600 or zoo feet of drilling, it is estimated, will get to this point where the heavy production may be expected. There has been considerable talk of shooting the sands recently encount- cred, but what the plans of the company may be will probably not be given out until the return of Senator Mayheld and Thos. McCauley of the Hopi company, which is expected any time.
