plant sites near the head of Fossil
creek.
Two Plants Utilized.
The plants are two in number, built
a little distance apart, and are each
of 1000 horse power. A diverting dam
will he near the head of the creek
and the water will be carried by means
OF bitches and fumes, will pass
through the water wheels and will be
then returned to its channel. Fossil
creek is about IA miles long and the
water has a fall of 1000 feet, or over
100 feet to the mile. The volume OF
water is several thousand inches the
year round and this guarantees suffi-
cient power to keep the plants in con.
tinuous operation.
The plant and lines will be owned
and operated by the Arizona Power
company, which has contracted with
the Arizona Construction company for
the completion of the work at a cost
of $1,000,000, the plant to be ready
for operation by January l, 1904. j..
H. Quinton of this city has had super
vision of the surveying.
Will Open Large Area.
AS a result of Mrs. TUFTS energy
and ability, the miners of Yavapai
county are looking forward to the
coming of a most prosperous period
when these plants are opened for
business. In that section Of Arizona
there are said to be hundreds OF good
prospects awaiting development, and
many have immense bodies of low
grade ore that would not pay to work
at present cost. Mrs. Tut says that
her company will be able to furnish
power for less than half the cost OF
generating power at the mines today.
Mrs. Tut says that all the work will
be done by next summer. She and
her daughter will remain in Los An
geles about two weeks.

A GOOD PROPOSITION.
Senator GruweII on Montana Swift
Current Oil Property.

Current Oil Property.
Having become interested in a
small way through Mr.. J. H. Wares
honest appearing methods of offering
in an open manne some OF the Mon
tana Swift Current Oil company's
treasury stock, and to more fully con-
vince myself, also for the benefit OF
my friends, | concluded to make a
tour of inspection, which l did in COM
pany with Mr.. Ware, who joined me at
Great Falls.
We went over the great Northern
via Shelby Junction to Blackfoot sta
ton, where we procured a private
conveyance from Judge Short Tail, a
Blackfoot Indian, and proceeded on u
journey, accompanied by five dogs also
belonging to the judge. We Travelled
45 or SO miles in a northwesterly di-
rection to Allyn, a deserted mining
town, situated in Teton county about
12 miles south OF the Montana and
Canada line in the heart of the Mon
tan Swift Current Oil company's To-
cations, which appears to me to be
the infancy OF a great oil producing
country.
AS indications go to show, and on
which the above mentioned company,
under the management and direction
of MI. Somes are now boring a well
which they already have down about
800 feet. Under the expert examina-
ton of Professor Angey, they are ad-
vised to go to a depth of from 800 feet
to 1900 feet. They are sinking from
20 to 30 feet a day and in each slush-
ing Of the we'll they have more pro-
nounced indications of striking a gush-
er. AS depth is attained there is a
more decided oil nature, which, having
been analysed, is priced as the highest
quality of %lubricating oil yet found in
the world, coming as it does from what
appears to be a shell formation.
There is quite an excitement at the
Kootenay Lake oil fields, situated II
miles west of the Swift Current Oil
fields. There oil in paying quantities
| has been obained at a depth OF $50
| feet. There are six outfits now on
the ground drilling for oil.
In company with Messrs. Somes and
| Ware. | was a week exploring the i'm
mediate and surrounding country; also
the we'll and development, which, | am
frank to say, was in no way overrated
by Mr.. Ware while here a few days
ago.
Great credit is due Mr.. Somes for
his persistent efforts to bring forth the
future of what, as l have already
stated, in my mind, as well as those OF
others, is destined to be a great oil
field. l want to say further that Mr..
Somes is the promoter of the above
mentioned oil company and holds a
large share of the stock.
Without fear l feel safe to say he
is a man OF true and sterling worth,
IS his acquaintance and hospitality
goes to prove with all who know him.
