No line on the well's actual production has as yet been obtained. At 600 feet the International Petroleum got a perfect shut off on the water and is now drilling on in the oil sand. Reports from the well state that this sand is showing up very good and will warrant a production test soon. Should the International get a commercial well between 600 and 700 feet No. 1 will be put on production and more shallow wells drilled at once. The Mahala Oil Co. is going nicely ahead with its drilling at No. 1. At the present depth of 3400 the formation is showing brown shale and the outlook is rather favorable.

BURCH AUTO RIDE WITH GIRL TOLD LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10. — Arrangements for expert divers to search the waters along the shore at Santa Monica for the shotgun used in the slaying of J. Belton Kennedy were made by District Attorney Thomas Lee Woolyline today after deputy sheriffs had traced what they believed was the course taken by Arthur C. Burch, suspected of the murder, in his automobile on the night of the slaying. The route worked out by the officers was from the garage where Burch rented an automobile on the night of the murder to the Beverly Gloren cabin where Kennedy was slain. BOEGE FINDS HOT WEATHER AND HIGH PRICES THRU EAST Slept With No More Than a Sheet Over Him for Six Weeks, Says Banker If, for some reason or other, you have obtained the impression that New Mexico has hot weather in summer, read this: "During my entire six weeks' tour of the east, I slept with no more than a sheet over me every night until night before last when passing thru New Mexico. Then I had to resort to a blanket." The speaker is Chas. A. Boege, vice-president of the First National bank, who returned home last night. "The heat throut the east was terrific," continues Boege. "During my week's stay in Cleveland there were one to three deaths daily from heat prostrations. And Cleveland, situated on Lake Erie, is considered to have a rather moderate summer climate. "I got so I was afraid to move around much. One afternoon I rode downtown on a street car. A half hour later I began to feel as if I wanted to sit down. I got back on in the slaying of J. Belton Kennedy were made by District Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine today after deputy sheriffs had traced what they believed was the course taken by Arthur C. Burch, suspected of the murder, in his automobile on the night of the slaying. The route worked out by the officers was from the garage where Burch rented an automobile on the night of the murder to the Beverly Glen cabin where Kennedy was slain; from the cabin to the ocean at Santa Monica, and thence back to the garage. According to the officers the time and mileage of this route corresponds exactly with the time Burch had rented car and the mileage covered by him. From the garage to Beverly Glen is 14 miles; from the glen to Santa Monica is 8 miles and from Santa Monica back to the garage is 22 miles—a total of 44 miles. The speedometer on the machine Burch rented registered 44 miles when it was returned to the garage. The spot to be searched by divers is at the mouth of the Santa Monica canyon. There, the officers believe, the gun was thrown some distance into the sea. It was pointed out by Deputy Sheriffs Joe Nolan and Phil Bright that Burch rented the car at 7:30 and returned it at 5 minutes after 11 that night. The murder occurred at 9:30. They said the distance to the sea from the glen could be covered easily in 20 minutes, and from the beach to the garage, 22 miles, in the next hour. A sensational turn in the investigation developed today when Dick Parsons, the garage man who rented the car to Burch, informed the officers that a woman was with Burch on several trips made in the rented car before the night of the murder. RUSSIAN PRISONERS CROSSED BORDER REVAL, Aug. 10—Walter Lyman Brown, chief of the American relief commission assigned to Russia, arrived here today and immediately went into conference with soviet representatives.

BIND, GAG AND ROB HOTEL NIGHT CLERK LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10—Held up by two dapper young bandits who were heavily armed, Samuel Mabajhan, night clerk of the hotel at the Bible Institute, and Honoree was vice-president of the First National bank, who returned home last night. "The heat throutout the east was terrific," continues Boege. "During my week's stay in Cleveland there were one to three deaths daily from heat prostrations. And Cleveland, situated on Lake Erie, is considered to have a rather moderate summer climate. "I got so I was afraid to move around much. One afternoon I rode downtown on a street car. A half hour later I began to feel as if I wanted to sit down. I got back on the car and went home. From Cleveland Boege motored with relatives to Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, Boston and New York. He spent 10 days at the latter city, going over it from one end to the other. He thinks the subway and elevated transportation system is wonderful. He found prices very high, particularly for food. Peaches self from 25c to 40c per pound. Head lettuce 50c per pound. He experienced this at two points in New York state. A small mess of spinach for four people cost him 75c. Small Cal oranges are 50c per dozen. Cal lemons are much higher than Italian lemons. The latter sell as low as 30c per dozen. He saw no Cal lemons east of Cleveland. The Cal lemons are nice and juicy and are equivalent to three Italian lemons. Farming in New York state seems to be almost a forgotten occupation. On many farms of 160 acres or more but five or ten acres will be cultivated. This explains the enormous prices asked for garden truck which can be readily grown there.
