During the period Jan 19 to
February 9TH there have been
IS mail subscribers to the
Navajo Times. These are COM
ing by mail at rate of 6 to IL
per day.
Navajo times., 1962-02-14

Other tracts to be offered for
lease are scattered in the vicinity
of Shiprock. One tract for lease
will be near the Horseshoe-Gal -
lup Oil Field which is located along
the reservation boundary and has
been producing for four years as
shallow we'll.
Five additional tracts are scat
tered south of Fruitland and north
of Burnham.
The Rattlesnake Field was the
Tribes first oil field discovered
in 1923 and marked the beginning
of the booming oil industry which
followed that discovery. Specula-
tion is valid that the new deep well
discovery at Rattlesnake may well
indicate other possibilities for
deep well exploration on the reser-
vation.
The Navajo Agency of the Bur-
eau of Indian Affairs has been re-
quested to issue formal announce
ment with tract descriptions in the
near future.
The Advisory Committee of the
Navajo Tribal Council has express
ed the hope that this will mark the
beginning of regular competitive
bonus bid sales of leases of Trib-
al land for oil and gas purposes.

insufficient registration in those
precincts. County officials indicat-
ed willingness to reinstate those
precincts and to establish new pre-
cincts if registration should war;
rent this action.

Philleo Nash, Indian Affairs
CommiS SiOner, in speech made at
the recent Gallup Area Tribal Con-
ference held in Albuquerque des-
cribed BIA plans ON the following:
economic self-sufficiency for In
dams. full participation in Amer
ican life by Indians and equal citi-
zenship. rights and responsibility
for Indians.
The speech was made TO approx
imately $50 delegates from New
Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and
Utah.
Nash stated that the Bureau of
Indian Affairs proposes to devote
maximum effort to improve educa-
tional programs and economic de-
velopment. The budget for the fiS-
cal year of 1868 is currently before
committees of Congress for justi-
fication of the Sc expenditures.
Numerous success sful economic en-

by MIR. Nash: the cattle enterprises
of the Mescalero Apaches of New
Mexico, the San Carlos Apaches of
Arizona. the White Mount in
ApacheS of Arizona and the Sem

terpriSes of the White Mount in
ApacheS and Santa Clara Pueblo
hunting and fishing enterprises of
the Mescalero and Jicarilla Apach-

The most spectacular industrial
development is in Pine River re-
servation in South Dakota, but he
added that examples could also be
found in the southwest, mentioning
the diamond-cutting at Winslow,
Arizona and the baby furniture ven-
ture of the Navajo Tribe. There
were, he said. common aspects in
all these ventures: governmental
