The rush of land claimants still con-
| tlnues at an unprecedented rate, the
figures of the last few days showing
that a total of 100000 acres have
been filed since the government leasing
bill became effective. Financial men
| have been lguring that this means
that $50 wells must be sunk in the next
six months, as one of the requirements
of the law is that all prospectors must
put up bond of'a thousand dollars on
each prospect of 2560 acres that well
will be started within six months.

The recent cold nights have been
hard on newly planted cotton, molding
the seed in the ground in many cases.
This is especially serious this year
owing to the scarcity of seed and the
nigh price. 1t is understood that the
Southwest Cotton Co. has reserved a
small quantity of seed for replanting
purposes, but this supply may be ex-
hausted if there are many losses.
