INDICATIONS EXCELLENT
IN OIL DEVELOPMENT
Florida Oil Well West Of City Now
Down 10 Depth Of Nearly 1890
Feet and Showings Stronger
PRACTICALLY SAME FORMATION
Considerable Excitement and Fiurries
Among Oil Spectators and Property
Holders Aeeount 0f Indications

oil Developments in Luna county
are progressing nicely these DAYS and
the Indications are excellent, indeed,
that oil will he struck before many
days. Florida well, Just west of town,
Is now down to IA depth Of nearly 1,SOO
feet and the oil showing Is very en-
couraging. Experienced men who have
visited the well the past few days state
that the indications Of oil In CONNER
cal quantities Is good and that the
amber fluid should be encountered IN
the course of the next few hundred
feet biologists, who have visited the
well and examined the log of same,
state that the formation here Is practi-
cally the same as the formation In
some Of the large oil fields of Texas
and Oklahoma II Is their opinion that
large quantities of oil lie beneath the
surface In this vicinity and that il Is
simply a matter of pItting the drill
down In the right spot
Last week the showing Of oil at the
Florida well was such as TO cause con
siderable excitement in Deming and
surrounding couuiry. Friday and Sat
urday the well was visited by hundreds
Of people and n continual stream Of
autos lined the roads leading 10 the
well
Casing had been set aud when the
bailer was started, preparatory to bail
ing out the well. considerable oil came
up with each hailer of water As the
volume Of water was reduced the
amount OF oil increased and AT times
there was quite a bit of oil brought up.
This oil had seeped In with the water
and proves that there is body OF oil,
large or small, somewhere in that vi
cinity.
This showing of oil caused quite a
bit Of excitement and greatly stimulat-
ed the selling OF leases and stock.
Those who hold leases are unwilling to
sell now only at much advanced prices.
/ Holders OF stock are also asking much
more than they did few weeks ago.
The prospects are fine, indeed, for
| Luna county TO become an oil center Of
importance and those who are making
the tests are deserving Of the support
of the community.
The well Of the Southern California
oil Company at Myndus is now down
10 n depth Of 700 feet and the drill Is
going down every day. Much progress
is being made on this well and il will
he rushed to completion as fast AS pos
sible.

COOPERATION

To be successful In cooperative en-
ierprises, farmers must expect to make
some sacrifices. They must contribute
something to the business which they
are trying to build comparatively
Many cooperative creameries, cheese
factories. and other institutions have
failed because the farmers are not will
ing to make the sacrifices necessary

In himself and In his neighbors and in
the industry in which he IL engaged IN
order To make success Of cO-opera-
ton. There must he willingness upon
the part of those who have bound
themselves together for the purpose o,
conducting an enterprise to not only
invest money, but time and effort.
II must he ever borne In mind that

FTNNEY RECEIVERS STOLEN CAR

AlbinOs Castales, Mexican, age about
20. was arrested In Albuquerque last
Friday charged with the stealing Of a
touring car from II. b. Finney OF Dem.
ing. The ear. a new Ford touring. was
taken about two weeks ago from In
front Of the power plant here and
every effort TO trace II failed until II
was discovered In Albuquerque In the
possession OF young Castales. The car
evidently had not been abused aud was
In good condition.
IL appears that Castales, after TAX
ing the ear. drove around Deming and
took on gas and oil az one of the
garages. He then drove 10 Los Cruces
where he remained few days. Leay-
ing Las Cruces he proceeded J.
and at Socarro he picked up Mexi-
eau hoy and took the hoy on north
with him
Castales appeared to be- In no fear Of
detection and drove leisurely. laying by
when the fancy suited him.
AT Albuquerque he tried to sell the
car. Even after placed under arrest.
he offered TO sell the car for one hun
dred dollars.
Castales was not suspected Of the
theft Of the car until discovered with IL
ut Albuquerque. However, a few days
before the car was stolen, he told Mr.
Finney that he believed he would take
the car and drive TO Albuquerque. This
threat was considered mere joke
and nothing more was thought OF t.
Even when the car disappeared, Mr.
Finney nor anyone else here, suspected
young Castales.
Castales has lived here practically
all his life and has borne Il good repu-
tation. He worked for three years foI
the Deming Electric company and was
n faithful employe. At times consid-
cradle responsibility was placed upon
him and he was often trusted with
large sums Of money. During the past
summer. he worked for the American
Railway Express.
Sheriff Jack Smyer went to Albu-
querque and brought Castales To Dem.
ing. He is now In jail here.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 27. -
The secret Of how the Mexican army
got new uniforms has leaked out.
The particular Mexican army re-
ferred to was the one which recently
came from Sonora under General
Abelardo Rodriguez to quell the
threatened disturbances in Lower Cal
ifornia. The secret got out through
the monthly bulletin Of the state horti-
cultural commission, and it revealed
that a California horticultural in
spector was responsible for the spic
and span appearance Of the Mexican
soldiers.
II appears that o. A. Pratt, horti-
cultural inspector at Calexico, feared
that the Mexicans might bring the
dreaded pink boil worm into the I'm
perial Valley of Lower California by
means Of carrying it in their clothing.
Introduction Of the worm into the co.,
ton district would work havoc.
So Pratt called on General Rodri-
guez just before they entered Lower
California and laid the situation be-
fore him. Rodriguez proved to be
man Of action.
That night by the generals orders
there was one grand bonfire out on
the Sonora desert. In the fire went

president of the associatde organiza-
ton. Hevener responded, voicing the
sentiments of the entire valley.
c. d. Adams, of San Diego, who is
planning to erect a $4,000 race track
at Puryear Field should that location
be selected as the site of the Impe-
rial county fair grounds, addressed
the meeting and presented his offer
to the associated body. Plans were
submitted, showing the construction
of mile race track and permanent
fair buildings. No definite action was
taken at the time.
Imperial submitted noffer to the
Associated Chambers, granting them
all the land they wanted in or adja-
cent to the city of Imperial to be
used for the fair grounds. free of
charge for 25 years, with permission
of renewal at the end of that time.
The proposal was taken into consider
alton and will be acted on at the prop
er time, along with the other offers
made by Ell Centre and Holtville.
S. w. Leffingwell, secretary of the
Imperial Valley press., 1920-11-27

Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce,
made motion that the California As
sociation of Commercial ESecretares
be extended an invitation to meet in
the Imperial Valley next year, and
action was taken along this line. He
suggested ahat they be asked to come
at the time of the first fair in or
der that additional publicity might be
given the event from the outside. This
was commented on very highly, and
the secretary was instructed to send
the invitation.
Frank Beal, during his talk, stated,
in regard to oil in the Imperial Valley,
that he expected a flow of oil on
paying basis by the first of the year.
He also spoke of the gypsum deposit
near the west boundary line of the
county which is said to be the largest
deposit of the kind in the world. He
urged, following number of address
es by other men on the subject, that
an investigation be carried out by the
Associated Chamber Of Commerce.
c. w. Collins, a stockholder in the
company and a member of the board
of directors, stated that it was the in
tention of the company to build mill
at Westmoreland and make that city
the basis of operations, thus material
ly increasing the wealth and prosper
it yof that city.
Major w. T. Dun nof Brawley, also
interested in the company, spoke in
behalf Of the Imperial Gypsum & Oil
Company, and following Sam Duna-
way gave a few remarks along the
same line.
The meeting adjourned at late
hour until thre first Friday in Janu-
ary.
