on his way to the penitentiary to serve a five year sentence for violat- ing national banking laws.
 Negotiations have been pending with the system that sacked the Holbrook bank for some time and the whole story of how soon and how much the depositors will be able 10 recover on their accounts depends on the magnitude of the evidence uncovered by the report of the ex- perts now finishing up.
 The surety companies are waiting for this report also, and at least one is busy now gathering evidence for criminal prosecution of the man. ipulators of the system.
 The Helmus scandal in the Ray holds bank at Fl Paso, whereby over S1O0,0CO shortage was covered up for a long time, and has been occupying columns in the Texas papers, will hardly be a circumstance to the sys- tematic jugglery, chicanery aGc crookedness that will come to light when the local branch of the Ray holds system is laid bare in all it's aspects beforethe bar of justice, and from present indications the bunch will not be likely to escape with the sacrifice of single goat as was the case in Fl Paso

The equipment for which the Hol- brook Oil Co. has been waiting has arrived, with the exception of one piece which will be in any day now and work will be resumed at the well. Everything is in readiness to go ahead and the management is determined to make all speed pos sible on resumption of work. De lays are aggravating, especlan when such depth as the Holbrook has attained has been reached, but it IS confidently expected that only short time will be necessary to get to the point where results may be obtained. The showing already encountered in this well has occa- stoned much comment from those who are familiar with operations at this we'll.

The experts working on the sec ond report of the wrecked bank are still on the job, and it will be sev- eral days yet before the report is complete and there will be a rat tling of bones when the old sage down in Florida. gets the inside of the system as given to the outside.
 Every day brings to light new phases of the system used to m iE the depositors of the wrecked inst;- tution-and the discriminating evil >dence is piled high against L.

SHALLOW OIL WELL
 PUZZLE FOR EXPERTS

Fort Stockton, Tex, Jan. 12.-Why did oil come to the surface and gush at rate of approximately 5000 bar rels a day at well No. 10, when four other wells are within radius of 50 yards of the spouter?
 This is the question being dis cussed by oil men and speculators arriving here to take look at we'll No. 10 and cast an eye over adja- cent territory.
 Opinions of oil men seem to indi- cate that several causes may have combined to create the great differ ence in so short distances in loca- tions First, the mouth of well No. 10 of the Grant Oil corporation is several feet lower than any of the surrounding wells which have been brought in by the company: Second ly, it may be the apex of dome, as indicated by the shallow depth and by the increasing depths at which oil has been struck going away from the location of well No. 10.
 According to well men, pressure at the last well was greater because of a Assure from the mother pool lying at greater depth. The flow at well No. 10 is now slight and its capacity lon pump yet undetermined because of lack of tank facilities to take care of the oil

AN ARIZONA ESSAY

Phoenix is Arizona's excuse for existing. But for Phoenix, Arizona would be couple of pastures sheep in the north and cows in the south Any Phoenician will confirm this.
 Phoenix is situated two miles west of the state asylum for the insane and is said by some to be an over flow therefrom. It contains the state capital, chamber of com merce, two basketeria groceries, eighteen soda parlors that used to be saloons, nine soda parlors that are still saloons, a commission to run the city, ministerial alliance to run the commission, 6197 reform CTS, 7613 cotton speculators now broke, 13,424 real estate speculators ditto, IF newspapers, 8179 home brewers, 4,361 persons whose sole Ebject in life to run the home brewers to earth, 7578 bootleggers. one officer who trying to catch bcotleggers, 112 officers who are trying not to catch bootleggers, 214 garages and three girls over IA years old who do not paint.
 Phoenix has mild and equable climate. In winter the mercury sell dom drops below 30 degrees, in sum- mer it seldom rises above 13O. There there is no shortage of shade, nor of people to sit in it.
 Although Phoenix is .lnoSern enough to have paved streets, two or three manicurists, hair-dresser and electric lights, she has never equalled Los Angeles in the art of trimming tourists. It is true that during the week of the state fair she shows some ability in this di- 'ection, but as soon as the big show s out of the way she drops back in to her easy-going ways of charging only $1.75 for porterhouse steaks and S4 a night for a room with bath every other Tuesday.
 Phoenix has many things to an- swer for but the rest of the state figures that she atones for her sins when she harbors the state legislat- ure for sixty days every other year. She is ashamed of nothing except Dunbar's Weekly.

BONDS FOR ROAD
 WORK HELD UP

Farley Richards, contractor, en- gagged in the work of surfacing the Holbrcok-St. Johns road through the Petrified Forest, is in Phoenix in an endeavor to secure funds for the payment of the men employed on the work. Mir. Richards received state warrant for the work in November and drew cheeks on the fund in pay ment of labor, only to learn that the bank would not handle the warrant.
 It is understood that the Navajo county portion of the 7o per cent state road fund is not exhausted as far as the Appropriation is con- cerned, but the ruling of the state treasurer that payments be made only up to the amount of taxes actu- ally received has caused the banks to refuse to handle the warrants. endeavoring to secure a temporary advance from the highway commits sion of Navajo County in order to pay for work already done and to complete the present contract. The assistance will be only temporary, as state funds already have been ap- propriated and federal aid will even tually carry the cost of construction.

A new dance was introduced called the Chambers Chicken Chowder," and a prize offered to any couple who had not attained their 10th year, and showed the most proficien- cy in this beautiful dance. 1t is needless to add that the prize was easily won by Mir. Pete Beasley of Adamana and Miss Crane Whitley, of Navajo.

 Sheriff Newman is now on his way to Phoenix to bring back the pris- oner.
 The signed statement of the com plainant reads like a chapter from Rupert Hughes Unpardonable Sin where the brutal German officer, a representative of the Imperial Government, assaults and carries off young women by right of his uni form.
 Clothed with the power of a gov- ernment agent-sent on a mission to uphold the dignity of the law, and enforce the most powerful measure for the protection of so- ciety ever enacted-the agent of justice slips a cog and is now a de- fendant instead of a prosecutor-al because he fell for the bewitching eyes of the little French girl from the City of the Straits-who has just added the third sucker to her discard and discord, and Uncle Sam will be shy one special agent, who just happened to be the wrong man for a Mann act violation.

 There is a whole covey of candi- dates for Postmaster Osborne's shoes in case the Cameron crowd can find a hole in the civil service rules large enough to slide Osborne through.
