REPORT OF OIL POSSIBILITIES IN
 NEW MEXICO

In the endeavor to extend the de- velopment of our oil-producing terri tory the United States Geological Sur vey, of the Department of the Interior, is studying areas in several States which may contain oil or gas and which have not yet been tested. A report by Dean E. Winchester on one of these areas in New Mexico has just been issued by the Geological Survey.
 The report contains colored map on a scale of about half an inch to the mile, which presents a variety of geological and geographic information, including the areal distribution of geo. logic formations, the locations of out crops of coal, and data regarding the rock structure in an area of about 600 square miles. The report describes the rocks exposed in the area, discuss es their geologic age and correlation, and considers the possibility of ob- taining oil and gas by drilling in diff erent parts of the field. After study ing the physical and chemical features of the rocks, including the carbona- ceous beds, MT. Winchester concludes that the chances of getting oil in the area are good and that if oil is found it will be of high grade and will prob ably be accompanied by gas. The rocks have been folded into well-de- fined anticlines and synclines and in some places have been faulted, but if oil was ever present in the forma- tions it probably has not escaped. A Good Place to Drill
 One of the most favorable places for testing the region for oil and gas ap- pears to be along what is called the Cow Springs anticline in sec 19 or sec. 30, T. 4 N., R. g w., where fuel for the boilers of the drilling machinery can be mined within sight of the rig, and where the sands of the Miguel formation (Manchos shale) and the Dakota sandstone can be penetrated at depths of not more than 2,500 feet. Although the chances of getting oil from the formations below the Dakota sandstone are not considered very promising, these sands can be tested by we'll drilled to a depth probably not exceeding 5000 feet in sec. 2, T. N., R. 8 w., on the west side of the Red Lake anticline and fault.
 The report, which is entitled Zee ology of Alamosa Creek Valley, So- zorro County, N. Mex.," is numbered Bulletin 716-A and may be obtained free on application to the Director United States Geological Survey Washington, D. c.

ingly wide scope of application, so great that one can scarcely mention any line of human activity in which it does not play part, make it very attractive field, and at the present time it is impossible to supply the de- mand for properly trained men. The new developments in hydro-electric power and reclamation projects in Ari- zona and neighboring states will give a great local impetus to this branch of engineering. The young man grad uating in electrical engineering has in- deed almost unlimited possibilities open to him.
 The electrical department of the University is also willing and anxious to cooperate with companies and man. ufacturers throughout the state in

ELECTRICAL TRAINING
 AT UNIVERSITY OF ARH::

"There is open at the State Univer- sity at Tucson an opportunity for young men to obtain an excellent training in electrical engineering. The University has fully equipped cleo trical laboratory containing all types of direct and alternating current gen. orators and motors, transformers, and full line of accurate and measuring meters. The University power plant, a modern one, is also equipped and available for tests by the students.
 "The tremendous advance in cleo tricity in recent years and it's increas-

slower speeds but used under more severe circumstances will inevitably require more frequent renewal. The question for the truck owner to de- eide before making the change is whether the truck can be equipped with brakes having much larger cap acity, and if not whether it will pay to take the chance.
 Of no less moment than the fea- lures mentioned above, so far as the dependability of the truck is concern ed, is the question of air supply since pneumatic tires require from 90 to 16O lbs, imitation pressure. As hand pumping is out of the question power driven pump on the truck or close at hand becomes necessity and in. many cases this is not practicable.
 While these mechanical considera- tions apply particularly to using pneu- matics on trucks now in operation on solid tires, most of the same problems are involved in changing the equip ! lilCht Ou U QShS UuL sold. The truck buyer should satisfy himself that his agents counsel on the equipment is based on positive facts and endorsed by the manufac. turers. Otherwise he may expect more or less disappointment and dis. satisfaction over the performance oi his truck if he orders the equipment changed to pneumatics before deliv. cry.
 To sum up, since so many impor tant technical features are involved the operator or prospective buyer would do we'll to seek the advice of thu manufacturer of his truck befor, changing the equipment. No one els, knows so we'll the probable effect or various parts nor can advise more in telligently as the probable loss or say ing such as a move would entail on tn, mechanism of his truck.

 "I can," said Hardcastle.

 Hardcastle began to pick through the case.
 "Here,' exclaimed the clerk a mo- ment later, "you can't do that, you know. You are picking all the big eggs"
