At B 0 W | {
Pinal Oil Company Drilling
Under Sub Contract from
The Bear Springs Oil
Company Whitlock Oil
Company Leases Land.

According to the latest reports from
the oil district near Bowie, timbers for
new derrick were hauled in the lat
ter part of last week and actual con-
struction was begun by William Craw-
ford, superintendent of drilling for the
Pinal Oil company on a 256O-acre tract
Ia miles north of Bowie.
The drill had penetrated to a depth
of 800 feet, according to reports re-
ceived here Sunday. At the latter
depth a small oil showing was en-
cOuntered. Other oil sands, suffic-
lent to cause rainbow colors in the
slush pond, have been encountered
at 60 and 100 feet respectively.
1t is the intention of Mr. Peterson
to carry the 14-inch hole started as
far as possible before reducing, and
unless he is compelled to make a
water shut off, he expects to carry
his 12-inch casing down to the cap
rock which he believes overlays a
big oil sand below 1900 feet
The tract is being drilled by the
Pinal Oil company of Superior under
a sub drilling contract with the Bear
Springs Oil and Gas company OF
Globe.
Approximately $4,000 remains to be
raised of $4,000 required to start
drilling on a state land lease Ia miles
north of Bowie, officials of the Whit
lock Oil company announced in Globe
Monday. The drilling site chosen,
where an extremely high reading was
obtained recently with the Lind oil
detecting instrument, is about one
half mile south of where William
Crawford of the Pinal Oil company
is drilling on a suitcase from the
Bear Springs Oil and Gas Company of
Globe. 1t is about mile and a
half from the old United States Well.
A number of local subscriptions
were secured yesterday to add to
others secured in Phoenix and other
cities of the state Drilling will not
be started unless the full $4,000 is
raised, in which the checks will be
returned to the unit subscribers.
The name of the company is taken
from the nearby Whitlock mountains.

AS SETTING F 0 R
GREAT PICTURE

The mountains and foothills that
were once the rendeZvou of the great
Indian chieftian, Geronimo, and his
band of Apache warriors. who not
many years ago, made history in Gra-
ham county when at short periods
they went on the warpath, murder
ing the inhabitants and pilfering the
farms of this county, are being used
as the setting for what will at once
prove one of the greatest motion pic
lures of history, LAUNDERING Hoofs, .
adapted from one of the latest of
Zane Grey's stories.
The location was selected by the
Universal Picture Corporation as an
ideal setting for laundering Hoofs'
and for the last two weeks the produc-
ton manager, the cameraman and a
large troupe of well known screen
actors have been on the ground max
ing the picture. A tryout of the
finished films was made the other
evening at the Stafford Theatre, after
the regular show, and proved that the
making of the picture to date had been
a success. The rains and the cloudy
weather of the past few days have
slowed up the work somewhat and
delayed the completion of the picture.
Miss June NARROW is being starred
in the play and the supporting cast
includes Hugh Allen, Bill Bailey and
Jack Pratt. The company consists of
81 people.
Fifteen hundred wild horses are be-
ing used in the picture, including
Rex, the most advertised horse in
America, and Sixteen other horses
that were brought in for the film The
other horses, used in the great STAN
pede scene were secured for the com :
pany by the local cowboys of the Ft
Thomas country who have also assist
ed the company in various ways with
the filming Of the picture
The troupe and the managers have
made their headquarters in Stafford
during their work of making the pic
ture, and make the trip to and from
the scene at Ft Thomas in one of the
Southern Pacific Apache" busses.

TUBERCULOSIS IN
SWINE AND FOWL
GETS ATTENTION

Alongside the extensive measures
taken by the cooperative veterinary
forces to eradicate tuberculosis from
cattle, the problem of eradicating the
disease from swine and fowls has
received close attention, according to
a report recently issued by the Bureau
of Animal Industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
A keen interest has been shown in
the eradication of the disease from
swine on account of the premium be
ing paid by number of packers for
swine from any modified accredited
area; that is, a circumscribed area
officially recognized as free from tu-
bercuIosis Reports from many of the
modified accredited areas indicate that
swine owners have realized substantial
sums this way.
Investigations regarding the source
of infection of tuberculosis in swine
were conducted with view of deter
mining to what extent such infection
might be traced to tuberculosis fowls
The question the fowl tuberculosis also
continues to be an important phase
of the tuberculosis-erad prob
lem. A survey begun in 1925 and con-
tinued during the last fiscal year
covered the inspection of about A.,
100000 fowls in 40 States. Approx
mately 10000 of these flocks were
found to be infected with tuberculosis.
These inspections were made in the
course of the routine testing of cat
tie by regularly employed veterinary

SPRING WOOL CLIP
AVERAGING WE'LL
SHEEPMEN REPORT
Stafford, ARIZONA

Stafford, ARIZONA
The spring shearlng of sheep is now
underway in the valley and sheepmen
report a splendid yield of wool, aver
aging from to 10 pounds per head.
The wool is exceptionally fine this sea-
son it is reported, and owners have
been offered 25 cents per pound, on
the platform, for the clip. Some rails
ers have accepted this price, while
others are holding for better price,
which they believe is coming in the
near future.
S. S. MARSHALL who was in town
Wednesday from Pima, stated that the
yield from his rs. head of sheep would
average pounds to the animal and
that he had sold the spring clip for
25 cents.
Shearing of the Karl Foster herd
of 400 head is under way this week and
is also averaging pounds per head
it is stated.
The Lee brothers, Anthon and
Marion, who perhaps own one of the
largest herd of sheep in the county,
report shearing at their ranch pro-
crossing. They have herd of 500
animals, and the clip is yielding on an
| average of to 10 pounds per head
Andy Carlson, who owns from 500 to
500 head, is also shearing at this time
and getting practically the same aver
age yield as are the others
Sheep raising is fast becoming one
of the most profitable industries of
Graham county and number of men
who formerly engaged in cattle rails
ing, are turning their attention to
sheep and are gradually increasing
their numbers. The ranges of the
county are considered ideal for this
class of business, and both sheep and
goat raising are becoming good
source of revenue.
Some of the finest mohair, according
to experts, is produced in this county
and buyers for the eastern markets
are always ready to secure the clip,
and offer the best possible price.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL
Your federal government has financed,
drawn up battle lines and herculean
light is now under way against the
European corn borer which threatens
the great corn areas of the United
States.
The enemy, which first made itself
felt in Massachusetts, Maine, and the
New england States and invaded
Canada last year swept down from
the north into New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Mich1-
gan, and as far west as Northwestern
Illinois. The infested areas were so
numerous that drastic efforts were
deemed necessary.
One of the most intensive cam
paigns ever launched against plant
pest is now under way. The federal
appropriation of $10,OOO,OOO provides
for thorough cleanup on every
farm in the western portion of the in
tested area.
This cleanup campaign necessi-
tates the destruction, by fire or burn
ing, of all remaining corn about corn
land and in feeding lots and pastures.
Corn stalks, corn cobs, and other
fleshy- hy-stemmed plant material which
might offer a harboring place for the
corn borer must be destroyed before
May in order to reduce the number
OF borers that pass the winter in such
material and prevent emergence of
the moths in the late spring.
Full cooperation is necessary on
the part of all federal and state Off
GERS, educational agencies, the press,
agrisultural organizations and especi-
ally the farmers themselves, to stamp
out this pest.
While it is not certain that the effort

PLAN MARBLE SHAFT
FOR HISTORIC SPOT
Site of Fort Washington to
Be Preserved.

Elaborate plans have been made for
restoring historic Fort Washington and
marking the site with a suitable me
mortal. A portion of the ground occu
pied by the fort has been set aside re
Gently as public park. The plans in.
clude the rebuilding of the famous
ramparts and other details Of the
stronghold in their original form. From
the site of the fort will also rise
great marble shaft, similar to the
Bunker Hill monument, but rising to
a greater altitude and set upon more
elaborate base
The Fort Washington monument will
rise to height of 280 feet from the
crest of the highest ground on Man
haitian island. 1t will easily dominate
the northern regions Of the city and
be conspicuous landmark from the
harbor as well as from points up the
Hudson river.
Despite New York's wealth of his
toric associations 1t has no adequate
memorial of the Revolutionary period.
1t is considered especially fitting that
such q memorial should take form on
the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of the Revolution. The Fort
Washington shaft will doubtless be
pointed out in future as one of the
show places of New York.
The restoration Of the fort will be
carried out with intelligence and SYM
pathy. BY fortunate chance con-
siderable section of the area occupied
by the main Notifications has been
preserved. When the city came to be
laid out, several streets crossed the
site and rows Of apartment houses
now closely encroach upon all sides.
The greater part of the Notifications
on the south, however, has not been
built upon In century and half. A
slight elevation may still be observed
which once formed part of the ram
parts.
The historians who have made a
study of this region have been aided
by several old maps which show in
detail the original forms of the forti-
HCdIIOu IIu LuSSS Su1ucS lHuCu VI
the ground once covered by the fort
has been carefully dug over and the
earth sifted for relics of the past.
Many interesting mementoes have been
discovered, including hundreds of but
tons from the uniforms of the soldiers
once encamped here, which serve to
identify the various regiments of both
armies. Many years ago when farm
house was built here many tons of can
nonballs and other relics were dis
covered and sold as junk.
The monument will be built of gran
ite, including the elaborate colonnade.
Although it's general lines suggest the
Washington and the Bunker Hill mon
uments, the shaft at Fort Washington
will have several distinctive features.
The graceful colonnade or peristyle at
it's base will be an interesting deco
rative feature This in turn will be
banked by groups of trees and thick
foliage.
The shaft will be ornamented with
appropriate designs which will relieve
the rigid appearance of so tall a
marble.
