sue Report on Arkansas Oil
and Gas Field.

The result of a steady production

United States Bureau of Mines in the

given in a bulletin by H. V. Bell.
petroleum engineer. and j. B. Kerr.
assistant petroleum te~chnologist.
which has just been issued by the
Bureau of Mines. Manufactures and
Agriculture. Little Rock. Ark.
The FL Dorado oil field has developed
rapidly since January 10. 1921, when
the first well that produced CONNER
cial quantities OF oil was completed.
The low prices for oil Inc lack Of
adequate pipe lines and tankage in the
earlier months did not apparently re-
tard the rate of development to any
extent. Up to November 1. 1921. the
field had produced approximately
lO. 900, 900 barrels of oil from a proven
oil area of about 4,S25 acres. which
was an average of 2,150 barrels to the
acre.
The maximum daily production of
tho field was about a, 900 barrels,
which occurred for a lew days in Aug
ust, 1921. The production decreased
TO about 1000 barrels per day by the
middle of October. 1921 Since August
1921. producing wells were completed
at the average rate of about twenty
per week for three months By tbs
end of October. 1921. about 400 com
mercfal oil wells had been completed
The initial productions of the OF well,
ranged from onl va few barrels Il
Is, 900 barrels of oil per day and tn,
gas wells up to a maximum of aboui
40. 900 900 cubic feet of gas per day
Unfortunately. some of the wells hav,
been inefficiently handled, which ha.
resulted in considerable waste
The Ell Dorado field furnished tn
first commercial production OF oil IL
the State Of Arkansas. Gas has beel
produced since about 1905 in the For
Smith gas field which lies near tn
Oklahoma line an some ITS mile
northwest of Ell Dorado. Because O

FLIP Of COIN
DECIDES BABE
RUTH SSALARY

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. March 5. -
Babe Ruth, home run king has signed
a contract for five years calling for
"a bank presidents salary" Colonel
Huston of the New York Americans
announced here tonight. The flip OF
a coin is said to have decided the
salary question in Ruth's favor
The mighty baseball swatter and
Colonel Huston had been conferring
over the salary terms here for some
days The end of the transaction
came when Colonel Huston heard
from his partner, Colonel Jake Rup
pert, telling him to so ahead and
close the deal.
what were the terms Colonel
Huston was asked,
"Well it was a bank presidents
salary" he replied. But there are
bank presidents and bank presidents
and this one I have in mind wasn't
the president of a country bank"
During the conversations between
Ruth and Huston. there was a wide
difference of opinion on the salary
question. 1t was said that both made
compromises and despite repeated
arguments they still were far from
reaching a settlement.
"Then Wen match a penny TO see
whether / get it or whether ! don't"
was Ruth's proposal. and they
matched. Ruth is understood to have
won the flip and with il a large
salary.

Cheyenne Kiser reports much prog

Rodeo to be held in Phoenix during

GEORG|E ADAMS AND DICK CODY
HEAD COLISEUM CARD TONIGHT

Unless George Adams has gone
back beyond the pale of main event
class Phoenix fans will be treated
to something different this evening
when they gather at the Coliseum for
their weekly rations of leather and
raZz
George meets Dick Cody in the
scheduled 10-round main event. Cody
IS q batt]er with two willing hands
and plenty of punch for a bantam.
He works out nice and his style of
milling pleases the fans. He bores
{ In with two hands occasionally re-
sorting to boxing to hold off attack.
For his weight and experience Cody
lis good boy.
But George Adams is something
new for local fans. Adams is a
fighter OF few words, and fewer mo-
tlons. He stands Squarely in the ring
and wastes nothing. The fire of his
opponent means nothing to him with
his square Jaw and solid stance.
Footwork is bore to Adams and
he does as little walking as possible
while in the ring being content to
stand and exchange blows with his
opponent until one or the other drops.
When George fought Danny Ed
wards at Oakland the little colored
boy showered gloves on Adams head.
but Georgie never moved his feet and
before the fourth round ended he was
forced to step to catch up with the
colored phenom. He likes to stand
up and take 'em while his opponent
wonders why he doesn't go down. He
carries a right cross that hits the
mark with all his weight nothing be-
ing lost in foot movement. He is so
different from the ordinary boxer
that he will be a real treat for the
fans. Two years ago Cody would
have little business in the same ring
with George Adams, but today Cody
has the experience of is months to
help him and the possibility that
Adams old time fire has decreased.
The winner of the Adams Cody
mill has been offered a match with
either Ad Rubidoux of Los Angeles
or Dick Griffin of Fort Worth. Local
fans would like to see Dick in action
here. Rubidoux has been trying to
get a Phoenix date, but it is doubtful
III he will come down here if Adams
wins. He met George before. Baby
Blue wants to meet the winner. but
that cannot be arranged as mixed
bouts are not permitted in the city.
George Adams defeated Carl Tre-
maine the sensational eastern BAN
tam who is going big in the East at
present. With victories over Tre-
maine, Danny Edwards. Ralph Lin
coin and Ad Rubidoux Phoneix fans
know that Adams must have some
thing to worry along with. He is
starting on his return trip to Chicago
and boxing honors and his manager,
Max Present, says George will be In
the title money before the year ends.
Adams is a slow starter: it takes
him two rounds to get under way,
but once he starts he looks good.
Soldier Brown and Jimmy Douglas
come together in the four round pre-
liminary in what has every promise
of being a dandy scrap. Brown and
Douglas have always BEEN crowd
pleasers. Their records do not shine
