The Northwest Shelf area of Southwest New Mexico has had an exceptionally rapid growth as an oil producing province. The Anderson Ranch field, discovered by the Continental Oil Company in 1953, is one of the typically prolific oil fields in this Northwest Shelf area. This field (Figure 1) is the most southwesterly of a series of Devonian oil fields in the Northwest Shelf area of New Mexico. It is located 22 miles west of Lovington, New Mexico in sections 2 and 11, T. 16 S.‐R. 32 E., Lea County, New Mexico. The Anderson Ranch area was first found to be anomalous by a shallow oil well drilled in 1927 which found the Rustler Anhydrite unusually high. Core drilling carried out in 1940 developed an Anhydrite nose over the area. A reflection seismograph survey was carried out in the period from 1950 to 1951 which succeeded in mapping a closed anticline in the face of many difficulties in obtaining usable seismograms. It is believed that the seismic map prepared for the deepest horizon was caused by multiple reflections. The anticline so revealed was drilled in a unitized drilling program and a well was completed in the Devonian for an initial potential of 1,968 barrels of oil per day. This was the discovery well.

Seismic exploration in southeastern New Mexico was initiated early in 1928 by the Amerada Petroleum Corporation and the Gulf Oil Company. In the period 1928–1931, refraction profiling was exclusively used to detail Hobbs and to locate the Monument structure. The 1932–1935 period was dominated by correlation refractions. Detailed shooting outlined the Monument structure. During the period 1934–1950, reflection profiling was successfully used and is credited with locating the Knowles, Bagley, Hightower, Cross Roads, Denton, Bough, and Saunders oil fields. The presentation of data includes reproductions of seismic records and structure maps.

Prolactin Inhibition

A case history of a patient who developed mammary cancer (T1N1bM0) after 5 ½ years of continuous treatment with Levodopa for Parkinson's disease is presented. The prolactin inhibition by the Levodopa was verified, and the clinical and mammographic growth, the doubling time, and the labeling index of the tumor were determined. The results were not significantly different than those obtained from patients with breast cancer not under treatment with Levodopa. The rapid growth and evolution of this tumor suggests that prolactin does not have an inducer or promoter effect in mammary cancer.

The North Bronte Area interested Lion Oil Company on the basis of surface, isopachous and magnetic studies. A large block of acreage was acquired and explored by the seismograph. A well was drilled on the shooting and proved the shooting to be reliable. A velocity survey in this well, however, indicated that the map of the reflective event identified as Ellenburger was actually Caddo. Additional shooting was done before the Lion No. 1 Edwards, the discovery well of the Bronte (Ellenburger) Field, was drilled. The discovery well of the Rawlings Field was drilled by Humble on seismic information. There are eight producing zones in these fields. Shooting costs and permit fees have remained amazingly constant through the years.

AbstractSophisticated readers of A Christmas Carol, moved though they may be by the dramatic reformation of Scrooge, are frequently inclined to question the psychological validity of the old man's change of heart. Far from being a sign of the story's inadequacy, however, this divided reaction is the key to its effectiveness. Dickens' chief target in A Christmas Carol is Scrooge's nineteenth-century rationalism, and the reader's skepticism about the old man's moral and spiritual recovery is an exact analogue of that rationalism. What the reader's delight, in the face of his skepticism, suggests, therefore, is that there is a level of the story on which Scrooge's regeneration is entirely authentic; that if A Christmas Carol is less than convincing as a psychological case history of an elderly neurotic temporarily reformed by Christmas sentimentality, it is certainly a success as the metaphysical study of a human being's rediscovery of his own innocence.

Spanning three hundred years and the colonial regimes of Spain, Mexico, and the United States, Maurice S. Crandall’s sweeping history of Native American political rights in what is now New Mexico, Arizona, and Sonora demonstrates how Indigenous communities implemented, subverted, rejected, and indigenized colonial ideologies of democracy, both to accommodate and to oppose colonial power.  Focusing on four groups--Pueblos in New Mexico, Hopis in northern Arizona, and Tohono O'odhams and Yaquis in Arizona/Sonora--Crandall reveals the ways Indigenous peoples absorbed and adapted colonially imposed forms of politics to exercise sovereignty based on localized political, economic, and social needs. Using sources that include oral histories and multinational archives, this book allows us to compare Spanish, Mexican, and American conceptions of Indian citizenship, and adds to our understanding of the centuries-long struggle of Indigenous groups to assert their sovereignty in the face of settler colonial rule.

Cortisone Therapy

The case history of a boy with growth retardation, caloric undernutrition, telangiectatic skin lesions on the face and areas of altered skin pigmentation is presented. Administration of cortisone resulted in improvement of the appetite and significant weight gains. Following discontinuation of cortisone therapy, spurts in linear growth were observed which appeared to be limited and probably related to the utilization of fat deposits accumulated during an earlier period of cortisone administration. It is concluded that the short stature observed in this patient was a function of caloric undernutrition.

Rough Range No. 1 was the first well to be drilled for oil in Western Australia in the post-war period. It was spudded on September 5th, 1953. At a depth of 1100m, the well encountered a flow of oil at a rate of 500 bbls per day from the Early Cretaceous Birdrong Sandstone. This first discovery of flowing oil in Australia set off a boom in exploration for oil that rivalled the gold mining booms of the last century. The discovery well was drilled for a total of 20 months, encountering a section of Tertiary, Cretaceous, Jurassic, Permian, and Carboniferous -? Devonian rocks. By May 1955, when Rough Range No. 1 was terminated, a further seven wells had been drilled on the Rough Range Anticline and all were dry. Late in 1955, Rough Range -9 was drilled but also proved dry. Rough Range-10 was drilled less than 200m from the discovery well but only found a thin, non-commercial pay zone.Studies of the Rough Range structure, incorporating data from all of the wells and the intense seismic mapping of the feature show that the area of closure is very small and the total accumulation could not be more than 282,000 bbls of oil in place in the reservoir.Assuming a 30% recovery factor, the accumulation is capable of producing approximately 84,600 bbls. Of this, 16,900 bbls has already been produced in a 48-day production test of Rough Range-1 A in 1955. WAPET believes that the small remaining reserves, even at world parity pricing, are not economically viable.Although the small accumulation at Rough Range No. 1 was a disappointment to WAPET, this first post-war oil well proved to be a "lucky break" and a big stimulus for oil exploration in Australia.
