PHOENIX, May 2S - Returning from a ten day tour through the Ya- yapai and Coconino county districts. D. A. Gilchrist, state rodent pest ex. pert, reported Thursday that farmers end ranchers throughout that area are doing some excellent work in riding their lands of prairie dogs.
 On his recent tour MT. Gilchrist visited over 60 farms and ranches through the two counties and spent some time at each. instructing far mers ard ranchers in poisoning the prairie dogs. Practically every far mer and stockman in the counties. Hho have been greatly troubled with these desert pests in the past. are now cooperating with the eS.ermina- ton campaign and report that thou sands of dollars worth of crops and range grasses have been saved this year. as result of activities in this line. NIT. Gilchrist said
 A special representative Of the de pertinent, E. E. Fribley. Is directing the work through these two counties ir conjunction with the Coconino county farm advisor, F. A. Chisholm, ho has his headquarters in Flag staff

START WORK ON
 CHA OIL WELL
 WITH NEW RIG

BOWIE. May 2s. Deveiopment in the Gila valley oil field, long ap- parently dormant and quiescent. has just burst into renewed and inten- sive activity with the certain promise of no cessation until the field is proven-and that means within the early part of the approaching sum mer. The big new Imperial Stand ard drilling rig steamed up for the first time Tuesday noon at the well site of the United States Oil and Re ,fining company, and is now driving for the oil pool that is confidently believed to lie below the oil dissem- iIated fill through which the drill is now cutting at 900 feet depth.
 The history of this work is unique and interesting and has been mark ed by some delays and disappoint- ,ments in the time limit of its accom- .lishments, but such. perhaps, is the common experience of all pioneer ventures in improved areas, and with the splendid new and powerful rig just put in commission. there can be no doubt of a happy and triumphant outcome.
 The geological soundness of the new field and the actual visible presence of liquid oil in the well now drilling have inspired the en- tire community with the belief that the dawn of a new and unparalleled area of prosperity for the Gila valley and tributory Is soon to break.

TWO RESERVOIR STORAGE
 SITES ARE SURVEYED

SITES ARE SURVEYED
 Two storage reservoir sites have been surveyed and computed for the San Simon valley by G. E. P. Smith. head of the Arizona University de- partment of irrigation engineering. The activities of Professor Smith in carrying out the provisions of the legislature. which last year set aside a sum for the survey of the irriga- ton possibilities of the San Simon. Sulphur Springs and San Pedro val leys of this county An excerpt from the report says:
 Among all the elements which en- .er into irrigation investigations. that of stream gazing is of primary i'm portance and the records must be ex- tended over several years in order to gIve them much weight. l established . raging station at Douglas, Arizona, about eight years ago and the geolo- gical survey have operated station at Fairbank. for a number of years. but otherwise there have been no stream records taken in Cochise county: consequently. our first work last summer was to initiate the measurements of many streams in or. der that the amount of water avail able and the acreage of land that might be served could be approxi- mated. Gaging stations have been established at San simon. in Wood canyon, East Turkey canyon, Cave Creek. al the Cienega, Fucker can. yon, West Tursey creek. Post creek and Hereford, and our hyprosrapher !s taking care. also. Of the stations q Douglas and Fairbank. Inasmuch as all of the streams in Cochise coun. " are flasky. i; has been difficult ;o get these stations at the right time 70 ge; good sagings and there fore. i; is not possible to make esti. n,.res as yet regarding the annual discharges Silt samples are also be. ing taken on the san Pedro since t $ known 10 be exceedingly muddy river.
 Much attention has been given 10 the study of the recent geology of the san simon valley. one being at the Cienega and one at Round valley. X site for the diversion dam on the White water has been studied. and the heads of the Benson. St. David, ard Curtis canals have been exam. ined. It appears to me tha; the Benson and St. David farmers will not be able to maintain their canal heads in the future and We have sur. yeyed an alternative location at which We think the people under these two canals should take their water supply from the river. We are hoping also. to make some test borings 10 determine the depth to bedrock at the diversion dam site and probably. at the Charleston dam site. but we seem to be unable to find a rig that will be free before July l.
 No contract has been let for a deep well in the San Simon valley. A tentative location for such a well has been selected anc specifications have been prepared and sent out. Well contractors are not interested in a project involving only s15.0o0 asd it may be necessary to ask the leg islature to add about $20,GO0 to that appropriation.
