STRUCK OIL.
While Boring for Watar the Drill

While Boring for Watar the Drill
 Strikes Petroleum.
 MT. P. A. Lofgreen Of St. David in this county called at the Prospector of fee today and informed us that he had struck oil Saturday on his place, while drilling for srtesian water.
 He thinks 1t probable the drIll pene- trated the oii bearing strata last Thurs day, but it was not noticed until Sstur. day. At first the nature of the sub stance was mystery to these working with the drill, one gentleman thinking that a soap mile hsd been discovered. It. was finally decided, however, to be oil.
 The drill encountered the oil at 8 depth of 290 feet. It IS of ds-k, yel low'eh color, about the consistency of sorghum molassee, and burns readily when ignited and while burning has tn. unmists ksble odor of coal oil.
 This find was good deal nf sur prise to all the residents of that locality. although Mr. Lofgreen says that he hat frequently noticed dark looking epots in the ground which at first glance looked as if caused by moisture ID the soil. On examination, however, these epots were found to not ontain moisture. but wert discolored by some other agency. He now believes this discoioration to be caused by this same oil seeping to the top of the ground.
 He will let the srtesien water rest for a while and will thoroughly investigate the new find. Some samples of the oi will be sent to the Arizona University for analysis.
 Should it trarsplrs that Mir. Lofgreen has actually discovered petroleum aud it should exist ID paying quantity it will add one more and very important in- dustry to the many resources of Cochise county.

SHREVEPORT CAPTURED

Our Alcaldes were Three too Many
for Him and He Fell Back After
the First Fire,

Well, we have visited Sport. We
invaded the city yesterday five
hundred strong, and taking the
Shreveport papers account of the
affair we captured the city. No
demonstration of welcome was
made.
The press of that city invited the
storming party to take what ever
they saw they wanted, and if there
was anything they did not see, ask
for it.
The train left Texarkana twenty
five minutes after eight and made
the rum to Shreveport by eleven
forty
The only accident occurring on
the trip was the parting of the
train. DR.. Rush, who was rushing
around at the time WIS hit on the
head with the snapper of the bell
cord and was treated to a display
of stars and comets.
Passengers boarded the tram at
every stop, and when it ran into
Shreveport, the coaches were all
full
The Board Of Trade had sent
one of their members down the
road to meet the delegation and he
boarded the band car and seeing so
many fine looking men in there,
mistook them for our city officials
and turned the keys Of Shreveport
over to them, telling them there
was the keys to Shreveport and for
them to take whatever they wanted
on arrival.
The band did not see much how
ever and put up on a meal at the
City Hotel at the expense of the
Board of Trade.
All along the streets on which
the train travels entering Shreve-
port, negroes had congregated to
see the train, and to give us well
come by waving handkerchiefs and
hats, When. the train pulled into
the depot there was crowd of
white people there, some two or
three hundred who welcome US to
the city.
The band headed the procession
and marched up Texas street to the
Phoenix Hotel, where the crowd
from Texarkana scattered out iook-
ing for dinner, many stopping at
the Phoenix, it being the leading
hotel in the city,
Mayor Vlnsou showed up at the
hotel and soon was shaking hands
with the two Mayors of TeXarkana,
with the eX-Mayor on the side.
1t was expected of the Mayor Of
Shreveport to turn the keys of the
city over to our Mayors in a neat
speech which would have been re-
sponded to by our orators, but Mr.,
Vinson had never been visited be-
fore by two Mayors from the same
town and he looked ratified and
dazed and soon retired, where to,
we never learned,
Mayor Hardin received a note
after dinner with a tender of a
carriage to ride over the city, and
he and Mayor Cook and ex.Mayor
