That the Csnanea, Yaqui River S Pacific railroad is to drill for oil on land which that company controls in Mexico Is the ness which has been re- ceived in this city. An all steel drilling rig has been ordered, and it is understco cd drilling is to begin at once.
 The first drill will probably be sunk either near Cananea or at some point on the Sonora river. For the past seven years officials of that company have sought unsuccessfully for traces of oil on their holdings, and it B now said that two or three places have been located where it is believed flows of petroleum can be brought in. Especially are the officers hope ful of securing oil around Santa Ana, south of Nogales, or west of Cananes.
