The Town of Douglas.

Which is so named in honor of Prof James Douglas, president of the Cop per Queen Consolidated Mining com. pany.
 The town of Douglas is situated in the Sulphur Springs valley, Cochise county, Arizona, about twenty-five miles east of Bisbee, on the line of the Fl PaSo & Southwestern railroad.
 AS betitS an American town, the streets are regularly laid out, crossing each other at right angles. Commenc- ing at the international line and going north the streets are numbered con SeCutiyely, and the streets running north and south are lettered, com menCing at A, which is the eastern boundary of the town. Eighth, Ninth and Tenth streets are 90 feet wide F, G, International and Railroad ave- nueS are loo feet wide; all other streets are 70 feet wide. The blocks are 3OOXlOO feet.
 As far as physical advantages go, Douglas is one of the most admirably situated towns in the southwest. Lo- cated out on broad plain that slopes gently to the south, where the purify. ing breczeS of this dry climate can have full play, the good health of the town is assured. A plentiful supply ot pure water is obtained at moder. ate depth, but at such a depth as tC preclude contamination by sewage Douglas International.

WILL PROSPECT FOR OIL.
Douglas, Lacey & Co. Contract to Sink One or
 More Wells ln lonesome Valley

mVTt WtHS tn loneSomt tdnoy,
 The Prescott Journal Miner has re- peatedly taken occasion to call atten- tion to the extensive operations of Douglas, Lacey X Co. in this section of the country and the part they were taking in the development of its re- sources.
 Aside from its recently constructed concentrating plant at Val Verde, the firm has devoted its energies in Arizo- na exclusively to mining. In Califor- mia they have very extensive oil inter- eStS and own the largest refinery in the state, located in Los Angeles.
 After an examination of the alleged oil territory in Lonesome valley, and a favorable report thereon by their min. ing expert, the firm decided to bore one or two wells in that vicinity.
 Contracts have been signed up with them by the holders of about 4,O00 acres of land in that vicinity and deeds executed and placed in trust.
 A company has already been organ ized by Douglas, Lacey & Co.,, known as the Manhattan Oil company, under which organization operations will be carried on.
 With Douglas, Lacey S C.. to de- eide is to do, and the machinery for sinking the first we'll has already been ordered to be shipped from Los Ange- les and Major Russell stated today that within the next three weeks work will be commenced drilling.
 NIr. Spencer says the company will spend from S25,000 to $50, ,0OO prospect ing the field, if oil is not discovered with a less expenditure, before aban. dOning it..
 The success of this enterprise would prove one of the greatest boonS to Ar izona that could ever happen to it. With the present forest reserve Sys- tenn covering all the timber lands of this section, and with the nearest coal mines hundreds of miles away, the discovery of oil would furnish solu- ton of cheap fuel which could not fail to prove of the greatest advantage to the territory.
 Douglas, Lacey X Co. also deserve great credit for undertaking the ex. pertinent.
