Prescott will have the greatest base
ball tournament ever undertaken in
Arizona. IL will continue for Eve days
and in IL will be engaged the crack
teams Of Arizona.
Preliminary arrangements for the
big event were discussed at a meetisk

gone conclusion that Phoenix, after
winning three straight games from the
Grays, will feel 70 invincible that they
will edge into the tournament to get
q slice Of the 1900 which Is to be
hung up for the contest.
1t WAS decided that this sum should
be split up into three moneys-$5O0,
$500 and $500. Regardless Of win or
lose, the association will guarantee the
expenses Of each visiting team. The
expenses Of the Globe team alone will
amount to nearly 1850, and IL It should
only capture the short end Of the purse,
the association will make up the diff.
ference. The tournament therefore
will cost considerably more than $1,000

raise by subscription, but the gate re-

OIL DISCOVERY IN
THE VERDE
VALLEY
Outfit for Developing
Field is Now on
Ground
tFrom Tuesdsy's Daily


The Verde valley comes forward
with evidences that there Is unques.
tionably oil In that section, and the
particular site at which II is believed
to be in existence is at the Old Dobes,
about three miles from Camp Verde up
the river. SO confident il this belief
entertained that Messrs. Gilbert and
Rohpeter have purchased, and the same
IL one the ground at Dewey, a com.
plete oil boring outfit, which they in.
tend to place on the ground where the
discovery is said to have been made.
The ground Mt the point where this
machinery will be placed has shown
surface indications Of oil, and by Wales
Arnold the Journal. Miner 10 informed
that the odor arising from the seepage
Of the water Is indicative that an un.
foreground flow prevails somewhere in
that vicinity. In digging post holes
the same indications were in evidence,
and in addition thereto oil shale has
been cut into. The strip on which it.
is proposed to prospect is abandoned
ground and it reverts to the govern
ment.
The locations made by the above
parties carry placer rights, and in a
short time the enterprise will be under
Roadway for definite solution as TO
where the oil comes from and its capa.
bilties as TO volume.
