GUSHER WELL IS
DRILLED IN THE
SAN JUAN BASIN
Pioneer Well of the Midwest
Refining Company Near
Pennington Said to Be
Big Producer.

What Robert G. Dill, writing In
the Denver Post, declares to look
like the largest oil field to be To-
Gated in the Rocky mountain re-
gion has been opened by test well
drilled by the Midwest Refining
company on the Navajo Indian re-
servation about fifteen miles south
west of Pennington, and which
came in a few Gays ago with an
initial flow of from 500 to 1000
barrels.
The we'll is located on the Hog
back structure and has been cap
ped while tankage is being rushed
to the location. Company officials
who have just returned to Denver
after inspecting the well, have ie-
fused, it is reported, to state eX.
actly what they figure the well will
do when allowed to flow.
The dome, it IS reported, cover
about $4,000 acres ~ land. The
locality has been prospected severa!
times, but has heretofore given up
nothing but gassers and abandoned
holes.
Oil in the new well was located
at approximately 500 feet in the
Dakota sand which is heavy pro-
Queer throughout the Wyoming
fields. Similar domes are reported
to exist in the San Juan basin for
a distance of more than 100 miles
westward into Utah and fifty
miles eastward into New Mexico.

us. OPPOSED To
NIPING OUT ALL
FOREIGN DEBTS
Treasury Officials of the
Opinion That Such a Step
Would Be Injurious to-
Welfare of World.

Washington, Oct. 4.--Recom-
mendations of Reginald McKenna.
former chancellor of the British
exchequer, before the American
Bankers association in New York
Of the advisability Of definite
postponement of payments to this
country on war debts by foreign
nations, except Great Britain UNI
til the amount such nations could
ultimately pay could be deter
mined, was regarded at the treas
ury today as merely stating the
status quo of negotiations by the
debt funding commission so far
as interest is concerned. Concern
ing the reduction of the principal
of foreign debts as suggested by
the British financier, high treas
ury officials declared that the
commission was entirely governed
by the wishes of the government
which in the present law author
lied the commission to arrange
for the payment of the war time
obligations upon suitable terms.
1t has been tacitly admitted by
the treasury that Great Britain
alone was expected to begin the
payment of interest on her $5,--
000,000,000 debt on October 10
when the first installment since
the expiration of the three-year
deferred period falls due and ne
gotiations by the debt commission
were said to be proceeding on the
theory of ascertaining when and
on what terms the other debtor
countries might start the liquida-
tion of their obligations.
AS to the principal of the debts,
it was conceded that after inves-
tigation by the debt commission
and conferences with foreign rep
resentatives the facts as to con-
ditions in some particular nation
might be laid before congress with
a view Of having the commission
empowered to make such terms
as would enable payment. But as
to any general cancellation or
wholesale reduction Of foreign
debts treasury officials were of
the opinion that such q step
would be injurious to the welfare
of the world.
Any action which could be con-
strued as a reputation of an ex-
ternal debt by sovereign govern
ment, it was explained, would
work irreparable harm to the
credit of that nation while cam
collation. by number Of coun-
tries would multiply lack Of con-
fidence in governmental obliga-
lions.
On the other hand. 1t has been
indicated at the treasury that
there is no disposition on the
part of the United States to press
tor payments of its foreign debts
IN the manner of harsh credi-
tor. Payment by Great Britain
has been regarded as unquestion-
able and treasury officials have
given the impression that France
and some of the other more inn
portant nations could be relied
upon to meet their obligations I'M
der carefully worked out funding |
arrangements. But as to some of
the smaller and poorer foreign
debtor nations there have been
indications of willingness on the
part OF this country to treat with
leniency where necessary.

G. II. Franklin, charged with i'm

ing tourists on the Fourth street
road, was fined SIS in police court
yesterday. Franklin, in company
with another boy, who was released
of the charge, followed a party OF
tourists and spoke to them about
the speed limit laws. Later, in an
argument which took place, he
threatened to arrest them and
claimed he was an officer.
The tourists reported the matter
to police headquarters upon arriving
in the city and police soon placed
the two young men under arrest.
They both claimed they had not
said they were officers.

LANDING OF CABLES
AT MIAMI STARTED

Miami, Fla, May 4-Landlng of

pany Miami-Barbados cable prevent
ed by the federal government since
August 1920, was begun today under
permission obtained from the gov
eminent, which, however, s%tipulates
that operation of the cable must not

The work of connecting the cable
was started after receipt. Of orders

Washington, May 4.-The decision
of the government to permit landing.
at Miami of the Western UniOn-Bar-
bados cable was said at the state de-
partment today to be simply a en-
porary step. which did not indicate
settlement Of the long standing con-
troversy. \
The dispute between the Western
Union and the All-Anerican Gable
! company over exclusive rights in
South America still is undecided, de-
partment officials said, and until some
settlement is reached, the cable will
remain sealed. 1t was said that the
, decision to land it rather than tie up
a naval vessel in order to guard the
American end of the cable. was SIN
ply a labor saving device. The West
ern Union company represented to
the state department that it's cable
ship was needed for other work.
