I think enough of the field to live there jiDd jrrow up with It. The experts, and they are numbered among the best In tho world, have said enough for mo. ' The camp sorely needs transportation transporta-tion facilities. But these are bound to como. Railroads always go whero they see tho right kind of an opening, j taid let tho San Juan field give the first Indication all are looking for and tho rest will be ea.sy- What tho district needs is a campaign of deep drilling.
