Show iiiiiiiiiiiiiiNiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Sat 9 Jecvid. . . By SECOND-GUESSER lllllllllllllllliJillllllllliillllllillllllilll Milford's tlvrd test oil well turned into a "dry hole" last week, and the driUers have wrapped up their rig and departed de-parted for other f'elds. Three wells were drilled, each to approximately ap-proximately 3500 feet, and in only one welt were indications favorable. However, in the well drilled or. the Paxton lease in the old Reed fanning area, they encountered a water supply which may ; prove of more bencf t to tlvs area than a dozen oil we'ls. It is expected to obta'n an ap propriation from the next Utah State Legislature to test the water supply, its purity, and the economic feasibil ty of irrigating irrigat-ing the old Reed farming area. Last Friday night the Milford High Tigers really broke the champagne bottle over their new lights in a big way. They all but drowned the Hinckley team, racking up three touchdowns touch-downs for a 21-6 win. The new lights, financed jointly by the Bulldog Club and the Board of Education and installed in record rec-ord time by the Telluride Power Company (with assistance of several local school supporters in digging holes, etc.) were very satisfactory and the only spectators spec-tators who didn't have a clear picture of the entire game were those whose vision was blocked by the sideline trotters. This week the Tigers go to Cedar City, but when they entertain en-tertain Millard here next Friday, Fri-day, special deputies will patrol the sidelines to protect the rights of reserved seat patrons. And this week it was learned that the Cedar City game and the Kanab game, previously billed as "fill-ins," are conference confer-ence games and count in the won and lost column. The results re-sults of season play will not produce a true district cham-1 pion, as Milford only plays six of the 10 teams in the district, and this year we miss at least i two "weaker' teams while we play all the strong teams of' the district. Assessment work on mining claims must be begun and continued con-tinued without interruption, by Oct. 1, according to the new mining regulations. We think this is a good thing for the county, as claim holders will no longer be able to ''plaster the area with location notices" and allow their claims to lie idle, at the same time preventing other miners, who might develop devel-op the ores, from working. We are informed that one man residing in Beaver has about 500 claims recorded in Beaver County. We can't help but believe that any individual holding 500 claims is taking an unfair advantage of honest Continued on Back Page Here's More About I DIM) (Continued from Page One) miners who would like to make a living by acutally mining, and at the same time add to the prosperity of the county. "One killed and one wounded so badly it had to be destroyed." That isn't a report from the war front, but what Sheriff Jasper Jas-per Puffer and Waldo Yardley found when they investigated poaching in the Bearskin area Thursday. Someone had killed one of Mr. Yardleys calves with a small calibre rifle, and shot another calf in the leg with a 30-30. The second calf had to be killed. "Looks like we're going to have to start throwing surprise road blocks every time we see a few cars in the mountains,' Sheriff Puffer said. "It's been quite a while since we had any trouble with rustlers, or with deer poachers shooting cattle, but if it's going to start again we'll find ways to stop it." Sportsmen aren't shooting deer, or cattle. There's a couple of other names for guys who hunt deer out of season, and a few choice names for rustlers. We wish Sheriff Puffer luck in his campaign to put a halt to these two despicable practices.. prac-tices.. Last week we passed along a plea for homes for two children of a widowed man working in I Milford. The children at present are living in Lund, but the father would like to bring them to Milford, and seeks a boarding home for the two children dur-jing dur-jing the school year, j If any Milford citizen would . care to board the children a 'boy 7 years of age and a girl 10 i please phone 40 and obtain i further information from Prin-jdpal Prin-jdpal Max G. Abbott. Jack Stoddard sends word that he'd welcome a little assistance as-sistance from his friends. It seems Jack stepped out of a car before it came to a full stop, Wednesday evening, and broke a bone in his foot. He s conJ fined to his bed and in need of a little friendly aid. A post card from Greensburg. Pa., informs us that Rev. Harris, Har-ris, recent pastor at the Milford Methodist church, has accepted the pastorate of the Methodist Church at Calicnte, and before we could announce the fart to our readers, Rev. Harris walked in the door to pay us a visit. The friendly little churchman will be at Calicnte after Oct. 1. and of course will welcome visits vis-its from his Milford friends. |
