The Altar District a Wonder
Con 0'Keefe's Views

Mr.. Con O'Keefe, the well known
mining man, was in the city yesterday.
When seen by Citizen reporter, he
seemed a little. reticent about the
Sonora field, where he Is prominently
and actively engaged. After a little
coaxing Mr.. 0'Keefe's good nature got
the better of him, and he gave an ex-
cellent account of conditions in that
vicinity.
He began by saying that the water
question in the Altar district, as I'M
all new districts, was the paramount
difficulty. He believes that once 1t Is
solved the district will be one os the
greatest and richest in the mining
world. At the same time he is pre-
pared tonsnring the sensation Of that
field on the public once that difficulty
Is overcome He has built large reser-
voir at the property Of the Sonora
Mining and Milling company, but this
plan is not adequate. There is not
enough rain at all seasons 10 keep It
full. The next thing is to build a
pipe line.
Mr.. O'Keefe is more than anxious to
give the people who bought stock on
his opinion. immediate returns. How
ever, a great enterprise takes long
time to perfect itself and then it pays
steady and well. The people must be
patient. Mr.. O'Keefe has staked his
worldly possession on the property
he is developing, and his taith in
the undertaking is unwavering. He
has great things in view for that dis
5ripf and with his nnnppv and 1ucIy
they should be realized. He is flgur-
ing on a railroad as the making of the

that the birthstone flew off the match

FIRST OIL IN ARIzONH
STRUCK IN PINhL
Paraifins Company Finds Oil In a
Well Near Florence Rt Six
Hundred Feet.

The first oil in the Territory has
been found near Florence.
In a telephone message from that
city this morning, it is announced that
the Paraffine Oil company has struck
a small flow of oil at 700 feet.
The first oil was found at 600 feet
and since that time 100 feet have been
drilled. Three stratas of sand have
been passed through, each bearing oil
The quality of oil struck is rich, be-
ing of the paraffine variety, which is
the richest that can be found.
1t is subject to refining, and pro-
duces lubricating oils of the best
grade. 1t also produces illuminating
oil.
The Paraffine company has been
drilling several months, and at one
time had to suspend operations. The
directors had confidence in the field
and have kept at work until success
has crowned their efforts.
Though the report from Florence
this morning was to the effect that The
flow of oil is light thus far, the genera
formation indicates that with depth E
big lake of oil will be tapped.
Editor Weedin Of the Florence Blade
in respone to an inquiry this morning
stated that while not enough oil has
been found for pumping purposes, it is
an assured fact that Arizona will in 6
few months have an oil field.
The new field is located north Of
Florence, and will not be far from the
proposed Phoenix & Eastern railroad
The building Of this line will insure
transportation of the oil to all parts
of the Territory.
The strike made in the well near
Florence is said to be causing a great
deal Of excitement, and the land in the
vicinity of the well that has not beer
already staked out, is being taken uI
night and day.
