"Why don't you play some strong team?'
was the question put to the manager of
the Mount Holly base ball club on Satur

coeh,s. County Petroleum.

For several months the Pros peetor has spoken from time to time about the presence in the San Pedro valley of petroleum. Later developments give more and stronger evidence of the existence of this valuable mineral oil m large quantities. The first discovery was made while boring for artesian wa ter; and upon finding unmistakable signs of oil, a sample was secured and submitted to the mineralogical professor at Tucson. The result f his analysis showeds the product to be a very valuable quality of pc troleum.
 Since that time no amount oi prospecting has been done. other than a few comparatively shallow wells for artesian water. By tho la. test improved methods employed iu boring for oil in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the cost of boring a thousand foot well is, under ordin- ary circumstances, about two thou. sand to twenty-five hundred dol lars.
 In view of tho great benefit that it would secure to the individuals as we'll as to the county at large, il is a matter of wonder that a few enterprising men have not taken held of the idea of developing one of the great resources of wealth in our county.-Prospector.

Florence Blythe Hinol,lcy Len Out.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. - United States Circuit Judge w. w. Morrow rendered a decision in the famous Blythe case this afternoon, which was in the nature of a surprise. He ordered a decree in favor of the English Blythes, as prayed for in the cross complaint, by default; and in his findings made several rulings which are in direct conflict with those of the estate courts. Among other things 1t is held that Florence Blythe was born an illegitimste child in 1873, when her progenitors were subjects of Great Britain. It is further decreed that neither Florence Blythe Hinckley, John w. Blythe nor Henry T. Blythe have any legal claim to the property and that their claims are fraudulent. The next of kin to the1ate Thomas Fl. Blythe are declared to be as fol lows: Alexander and William Jones, James Madsley, Elizabeth Jacques, Rubert Dover, Hannah Monk, Jane Page, James Blythe, Elizabeth B, Page and George Page. Under this ruling it is considered very probable that Mrs. Florence Hinckley wIll lose the property which she has fought so hard and bitterly for dur ing the past ten years.

The Grotesque Celebration,


 The closing scene of Prescott's four days celebration, the parade last evening of grotesque characters, furnished world of fun for the young people while a very broad grin was noticeable on the features of great many grown people. One of the principal features of this was a burlesque of the wild west show. in which Judge Ling appeared mounted with long hair streaming down over his back, belt fuli of SIX shooters around his waist and Win chesters galore on his saddle. Al Meford's dump cart figured as the chariot in the procession with Joe Morrison as Mile Unborn, as the driver. A band of imitation In- dians, mounted on ponies completed this feature of the procession. This was originated by F. s. Emmal, of the Hogan Alley committee, which was only allowed an appropriation of $l0, for the entire make up and was given only about three days to arrange for this part of the pro- gTamme.
 The narktown fire brigade was also out and furnished lots of sport.
 After the procession the Wild Westers massed in the plaza where bronco riding, burro tying and other wild west features were given. to the amusement of spectators. The only "man eating" burro in the world was ridden by Dick Jessen.
 At the conclusion of the per formanee in the plaza Judge Ling was presented with an alfalfa hou quet by a number of admiring la- dies.
