I also saw other derricks in the neigh-borhood approximately two to five miles distant from the Zora A. Johnson. From the best information I can get the Austin Chalk in your well was struck at a slightly greater depth than the same formation in the Powell field. The log of this well shows the Austin Chalk to be at the ap- - Supt. Fred Turner's Report on Oil Field Ohio Copper Company of Utah Mine Office Bingham, Nov. 9, 1923 Frederick E. Turner, Mine Superintendent. Mr. C. E. Bass, Baxter Basin Oil Syndicate. Gentlemen: At the request of Mr. Bass and to satisfy myself and others as to conditions, at your hold-ings in Athens, I have this day returned and desire to give you a report of my findings. At Athens, Texas, I met Mr. Evans who represents the interest of the Pine Grove Oil Company and Mr. J. B. Davidson. In company with Mr. David-son and Mr. Evans I went to the Zora A. Johnson well of the Baxter Basin Oil Company which is about ten or twelve miles southeast of Athens. Up-on the property I found a very well built derridk and a full Ro-tary Drilling Equipment includ-ing enough drill stems, set up inside of the derrick and enough 6 5-- 8 casing all in good shape to complete the hole another 800 feet. Two 45 II. P. boilers in good shape connected up to the drilling equipment and enough wood in all probability to drill 400 feet of hole. Mr. Davidson who hs charge of the work, is in my opinion a very capable man and a man who has had many years of ex-perience in oil drilling. Mr. Davidson told me that the well had been cleaned out and that the well is now cased to a of over 3100 feet with 6 5-- 8 proximate depth as forecast by Mr. Earl A. Wyatt and Mr. D. W. Morrow, both well known Geologists. As the Woodbine sand which is the oil producing sand of this locality lies under the Austin Chalk it should not take more than 600 or 700 feet of drilling to reach this sand and prove this well. Being very favorably impress-ed with conditions as I found them I am willing to take a chance. I am enclosing my check for $750.00 for which make me two certificates, one to Mrs. F. E. Turner and the other one to myself. Very truly yours, Per F. E.

Dr. Straup Retains the Bingham Hospital Financial difficulties between Dr. Straup of the Bingham hos-- . ' pital and the Central Bank of Bingham were straightened out this week and an agreement was . reached whereby Dr. Straup wiped out his indebtedness to the Bank and retains ownership and operation of the Bingham hospital. It is understood the terms in-volved the payment to the bank in cash for the full original loan secured by Dr. Straup from the Bank when the hospital was built. In addition thereto sat-isfactory terms were made for the payment of notes Dr. Straup had endorsed on loans to other people. The many friends of the Bank and Dr. Straup con-gratulate them on the amicable settlement of this question and " for their continued friendly re-lationship. It has been feared by the people of this great cop-per camp and district that the needs of a hospital here would be jeopardized by this litigation. We are glad it is settled. It is the belief of the Editor of this paper that the people of Bing-ham need, and should have a hospital. In tho past two or three years the conditions of the camp and this litigation have held back the operation of such an institution. Dr. Straup with the continu-ed good work and conscientious support of Dr. Paul S. Richards and assistance of Dr. Clark Young intend to renovate and improve the hospital.

Black, sub-distr-ict Manager of the United States Veterans' Bureau, at Salt Lake City, desires to impress the Ex-servi- ce men of the late war with the necessity of filing their claims for disabilities which were received during their ser-vice in the U. S. Army and Nav-al Branches. Section 309 of the War Risk Insurance Act, October 6, 1917, provides : That no compensation shall be payable unless claim there-fore be filed, in case of disability within five years after discharge or resignation from service, or, in case of death during the ser-vice, within five years after such death is officially recorded in the department under which he may be serving Provided, how-- 1 ever, that where compensation is payable for death or disabil- - ity occurring after discharge or resignation from the service, claim must be made within five years after such death or the beginning of such disability. A great many men were dis-charged shortly after the Ar-mistice in November, 1918, and i in these cases the time limit is - maturing. These men should communicate with the Veterans' Bureau at once, to protect their r rights in later years, if not at . present.
