JAPAN. MENACED BY BOLSHE-
VIkI-WANTS COOPERATION

The eastward march of bolshevik
forces in Siberia has developed a sud
denly serious problem for Japan which
is gravely occupying official circles and
which will probably soon be discussed
with the American government. The
convention by which the allies have
operated in Eastern Siberia may be
menaced by the bolsheviki and the in
terests Of law and order in China. Man
churia and the Russian Pacific littoral
may necessitate a military campaign
on large scale. Japan apparently
has no wish to attack the problem
single handed. and the impression pre-
walls she will discuss every step with
the American government and may re
quest moral, financial and even mill
tary support.
Although some newspapers continue
to talk about misunderstanding be-
tween Japan and America, the i'm
preston is steadily growing here that
the people of Toxic who are actually
conducting the affairs of the empire
will seek not only to cement the friend
ship between the two countries, but to
cooperate with America in the widest
sense in the solution of all far eastern
problems.

depth Of approximately 800 feet. The
bailer brought up mixed water and oil
from under a seven foot ledge of shale.
Samples of the mixture are now on
display at the Office of L. Baskin. A
bottle two-thirds full of water shows
a topping of about half inch of good
looking oil.
This well is in the neighborhood
where seep oil was found in water
wells several years ago, at about the
same depth this seepage was discov-

well drilled on the Mounts place, about
three miles from Oil Well No. / ten

oil. This oil well was never developed
and has never been cleaned out.

CASSER STRUCK At
AMARILLO SAID TO Be
LARGEST IN FIELD

The following telegram will be of
great interest to those who have in
vested in lands and leases in the Tu-
cumcari section and more especially
to those who are putting downs wells
IN this vicinity. Where there is so
much gas there is bound to be oil in
close proximity. Oil men are greatly
pleased with this showing of gas and
1t is reported that Amarillo is filling
with people from everywhere. Follow
ing Is the telegram which appeared
this morning in the Ell Paso Herald:
Amarillo, Tex, Dec. 3.-The largest
gas well in the world has been brought
in by the Amarillo Oil Company in
Potter county.
This well is making between 100
100000 and l20,000,0O0 cubic feet of
gas per day. 1t is in Section 1OS,
block 10S, of the T. d p railroad sur
vey.
Much difficulty is being experienced
In Gaping the 12-inch hole. IL the
well continues its initial production
Texas cities will have ample gas for
all needs within short time.
The following from the Amarillo
Plainsman give another report which
is true:
THE Amarillo Oil Co., Masterson
No. 4, drilling by Jones Bros, came
in at $3.50 Sunday night at 1910 feet
with a flow Of gas larger than any
thing yet shown in the field, various
ly estimated at from thirty to sixty
million feet. This well is between
the original Hapgood well and the
Ranch Creek well, both of which have
gas flows around fifteen million feet.
Considerable excitement was caus-
ed by the striking of an oil sand in
the Hereford well south of Vega on
Saturday at 2s0 feet. A showing of
oil was contained in the top of the
sand which was thirty feet deep.
Ranch Creek well, drilling by Hap
good, has struck an oil sand at $500
feet and the drill is now about three
feet in the sand. Hapgood looks to
get softer as the drill goes down"
