COLORADO RIVER OIL.
Discoveries Made in Mohaye County
 Prove Its Existence.

The following from the Mohave County Miner will strengthen the faith
 of those who believe oil and natural
 gas abounds in abundance here at
 Yuma:
 "The fact that oil exists in Mohave
 county seems to be est&blished beyond
 any doubt, and from tests recently
 made in Los Angeles it appears that
 the oil is of a much better quality than
 the California product. The discovery
 was entirely accidental and was made on land that had been located and was being prospected for placer gold. The find IS about fifty miles southernly
 from Kingman, in the Chemeheuvls mining district, and in section that had been known fer many years as an exceedingly rich gold country, there being many rich quartz claims in the district, besides placer gold, of which latter several spots have been found that yielded as high as $l00 per day for two men with a dry washing ma chine. The oil sand, so greasy that t adheres on being squeezed Tn the hand and becomes compact ss, has been found iu many places within an area of three or four miles in width, com mencing near the summit of the Chemehuevis range of mountains and extending almost to the bank of the Colorado river, distance of eight or ten miles.
 "Considerable excitement now exists ir Kingman over the find, which has been kept very quiet and has only be- come generally known as a positive fact within the last few days. A chosen few, who were let into the secret in time, have been quietly organizing, and have managed to secure a large tract of land where the oil indications appear most favorable, and since the news has gotten out nearly every man in Kingman who could get away has "mysteriously disappeared, "but the cat is out of the bag now and the exodus continues, every one being anxious to get ahead of his neighher, and secure a location in the oil district. If 1t is demonstrated that the oil exists Tn sufficient quantity to pay for boring wells, etc.. it's importance to the county can scarcely be estimated. Taken by itself it is an industry that will build l up great business community, but when it is considered that the cost Of fuel here has made it an impossibility to proftably work many of our largest mines, it will be seen that the produc- ton of oil right here at home IS likely | to give us fuel at price that will at i once overcome the greatest obstacle with which we have to contend. Pros l pect wells will be sunk in the near future, as number of Kingman'e l most progressive business men have obtained a large tract of the oil land and it is only a matter of short time when we will know whether or not the oil can be produced at profit"
