INCOME TAXES
In ARIZONA ARE
EXCEEDING 1925

Apropos of reports from Wash
ington regarding the treasury sur
plus and income tax collections due
June Is, John r. Towles, collector
of internal revenue for Arizona an
nounced that $4,000 more had
been collected by his office since
January than was collected dur
ing the same period last year.
This" said Mr.. Towles, mot
withstanding continued reductions
in the office and field force. In
addition to the higher amount col
lected, the office saved more than
$4,000 over the same period of
1925"
During the last filing period,
June 1 to 10, about $253,000 in in
come taxes alone was collected,
nearly $28,00O more than was col
lected during the corresponding
period in 1872. This year about
three-fourths the number of re-
turns were made in Arizona COM
pared with those made Last year
Mr.. Towles said, interpreting the
increased revenue to mean state
prosperity.

OIL DRILLING RESUMED

WILCOX - The troubles at the
oil well have at last been over
come. The we'll, during the last
month, has been reamed IL IL
inch casing has been put down and
at the last ten inch casing. The
hot water, and in fact all water
has now been shut off. The tools
which lodged in the well several
months ago, have been worked to
one side and the casing is past
them, and no distractions. The
drill is now going down. They are
close to 1900 feet, and are drilling
in tight red sandstone. A little oil
is seeping through this sandstone,
showing conclusively that the oil
is below. The indications are very
favorable The struggles and mis-
haps of the past are now behind
them, Mr. Dennis says, and he feels
that from now on they will have
smooth sailing. He is, however,
going very cautiously and taking
every precaution, to avoid any fu-
ture mishaps which may cause de-
lay.

ROAD STATION REOPENED

The Springerville road inspection
station, which has been closed dur
ing the winter months, was re-
opened June 1st.
Owing to the small amount of
automobile traffic which passed
over the highways covered by this
station during the winter season.
the station was closed in October
1925. A recent survey made by
DR.. T. S. Bishop, chairman of the
Arizona commission of agriculture
and horticulture, and DR.. Oscar G..
Bartlett, state entomologist, con-
vinced these officials that the traf-
fic was sufficient to warrant the
resumption of the inspection work
at this point. The station at
Springerville is located at a point
where the traffic from the eastern
and central states enters the
boundaries of Arizona. Practically
all of the pests and diseases taken
from the intercepted material while
the station was in operation pre-
viously, had their origin in the
states of the east and middle west

PRESIDENT APPROVES

TUCSON = Senator Ashurst's

ervotion from Indian Oasis for a
distance of 62 miles. The county

between Roadside Mine and Indian
Oasis.
The bill was introduced original
ly in the house by Congressman
Carl Hayden and was passed to the

in the senate providing that the
board of supervisors maintain the
road.

LOOKS LIKE OIL
HAS BEEN FOUND
RIGHT In TOWN

Stafford - Late last week DR..
D. Scott Schenck and J. A B.
Jones were considerably excited
over the discovery of what looks
very much like oil. While water
ing the vines and plants they have
growing at the rear of their office
buildings, the water seemed to
mysteriouslly disappear from no
particular cause. Concluding there
must be a gopher hole somewhere
near, the doctor proceeded to make
an investigation and instead of un-
covering a gopher hole found a
perfectly good well, with casing al
ready set, right at the back door of
the Jones building. Rigging up an
apparatus with which to draw wa
ter from the well the two men were
astonished to find the first lot of
water they drew out was all thick
and black with heavy scum of oil
that became more noticeable when
the water was poured out on the
ground.
The we'll has been there for a
number of years, being sunk ORR
ginally, it is said, for a town well.
After the mountain water was put
in this old well was abandoned and
has stood hidden from view and
forgotten until it was uncovered
by the two men. This fact, how
ever, does not account for the
thick, black oily substance that is
now drawn from it.

Time is Approaching
When Uncle Sam Will
Cease Aid to Indians

SANTA FE, N. M.-"There is a
tendency among the Palefaces,
hearing of an Indian in financial
distress, or in poor health or in
some other trouble to say: TO
hell with the Indian; there is a
tendency among Indians in pueblos
to tell Uncle Sam and his agents
to keep out of their affairs, but
when in trouble to rush to Uncle
for aid
"But the time must come and
will come when the federal gov
ernment is going to withdraw it's
financial support from the Red
men and let the able-bodied, edu-
Gated, trained Indians make their
own way in life
This is what the commissioner
of Indian affairs, Charles H.
Burke of Washington, D. c., said
in statement issued last week.
Commissioner Burke arrived in
Santa Fe to attend the big auction
sale of government lands which
was held here.
Mr.. Burke discussed the health
and financial affairs of the Indians
as well as the oil lease bill recent
ly passed by both houses, and
which has gone to President Cool
idge for his signature.
Discussing the health of the In
dian, Mr.. Burke's attention was
drawn to statements of Frederick
i. Hoffman, famed statistician,
who recently visited New Mexico
pueblos and declared that the med
ical neglect of the Indians is ap-
palling, Mr.. Burke said:
"Our health work and our In
dian hospitals, considering funds
available, are at standard that
leaves little cause for criticism.
In the field covering many states,
there may be concrete instances
where there is medical neglect Of
the Indian.
but we must bear in mind that
many Indians oppose the modern
medical treatment offered them
by doctors and nurses and prefer
their medical men and their herbs.
We now have the active support
of the public health service and
expect great results under Dr.
Guthrie. We are handicapped for
funds and cannot pay doctors or
nurses very attractive salaries" :"
Discussing the oil possibilities
in the Navajo country, Mr.. Burke
said, "We feel there is promise of
great development. Much interest
has been displayed by the oil COM
panies.
1--WE believe there should be a
joint interest between the Indians
and the state of New Mexico for
the benefit is sure to be mutual.
If there is prosperity in New Mex
leo the Indians will share in it.
Il believe this bill passed con-
gress and now sent to the presi-
dent will facilitate development if
it becomes a law"

TOMBSTONE = That actual con-
struction of the Charleston Dam
may start within the next twelve
months was made known last week
when a party of five engineers ar
rived in Benson to start immediate

ais, the position of the dam, the
type of dam to be used, the cost of

The preliminary agreement where
by Griggs was secured to make the
survey was signed just a week ago
Tuesday by the directors of the
San Pedro Water Users association.
In speaking of the new company
which has taken over the work of
obtaining engineering and financial
data concerning the project, A. G..
Smith, a member of the board of
directors, stated that they had been
secured following the resignation
of Elliott and that they were in a
position both in point of finance
and organization to PICK up the
Charleston dam work and carry it
through to rapid and satisfactory
conclusion.
