RESPONSE IF COL. POWELL AT
 TIE BANQUET THURSDAY EVENING

the Shattuck mine had a shaft down and had found a little ore. but very few belived it would be the splendid property it is today. The Hoatson was a mere hole in the ground and the Junction and Cole shafts were little more. They are certainly en- titled now to be placed among the great copper mines of the world. The results obtaied at the Briggs shaft practically assure a great mine there and I understand the Denn showing $ most encouraging. Think of it, , four great proven mines in four and a half years and two most encouraging prospects. Do you think there is a camp in the world that can equal this record? No. I have watched these developments most closely. as you can imagine. l cut my bridges when I left the north to take up my work here and upon those developments largely depended my success. I feel that have had success and I know that I will turn over to my successor some of the greatest copper mines in the world.
 In this connection I trust I will be pardoned if I publicly express my ap- preciation of .he men wko have been associated with me in my work here. A better bunch of fellows never work ed together. loyal enthusiastic and ca- pable. I am proud of them and only hope they will hold me in one half the high esteem I do them.
 It is not my intention, gentlemen, to remove my residence from Arizona. In the first place. have very mater fal interests here, but aside from that love the country and its people. like the climate and the wonderful scenery. to me the most beautiful in the world. can see wonderful devel- opment ahead for Arizona. who Is go- ing to come into her own; great things are to be done. I want to be a part of this work and I intend to be. l want to help in the great work of building what I know is to be one of the greatest states in the union. We Arizonians are at the present time

The following is the response of Col. l.. w. Powell at the banquet giv- en in his honor Thursday night:
 Mir. Postmaster and Gentlemen. hardly know how to open my remarks. but want first to thank you for this expression of your appreciation. l do thank you. gentlemen, not because it pleases my vanity that such body of men as are here, were assembled as a compliment to me. It goes further than that; at least I construe it as put ting the stamp of your approval on my efforts here. From my standpoint, no more satisfactory compliment can be paid to man who tries to do things. than to have hss work approved.
 came here over four and a half years ago. a stranger in a strange land, but I was made to feel that warm hearted welcome which it is characteristic of Arizonians to give and from then until now I have felt that was one of you. That welcome has always been of great assistance to me, l can assure you. and has never been forgotten.
 When I arrived in Bisbee and went over the situation carefully, realized that there were some big problems to overcome, but I had then as now an all abiding faith in the great future ot the camp and never felt for a mo ment that our enterprises could fail. There were many dark days, to be sure, but they did not last and we eventually won and won big and I am a more firm beliver than ever that Bisbee is and will continue to be for many years the greatest copper camp in the world. I liken this camp to a good, healthy, growing child It has not, in my judgment. reached it's ma turity. I believe there will be as great if not greater development in the fu- ture than i'm the past. It has been my good fortune to have lived in Bisbee during one of the most interesting periods of it's history. How many of us here realize the great advances this camp has made within the past four and a half years? When l came here

 Some of my beares may think. am getting too much into politics,
 that there is method in my madness but l can assure you that I nave no intention of entering the political arena, but as a citizen of Arizona these matters are of great interest to me
 Gentlemen. l again thank you for this expression of your appreciation. I have labored in your midst. know l have always tried to be absolutely far in my dealings with you, and am happy to know that my efforts have been appreciated. Of one thing l can assure you. the people of Bisbee and Arizona have been good to me and no matter where my Iabors may take me in the future, you can always count upon me as a friend anxious to pay a debt of gratitude that I feel I owe you.
 I want to take advantage of this opportunity to say a few things with reference to the gentleman who is to succeed me here. I refer to Mir. John C. Greenway. I have known Mir. Greenway for a great many years. He was associated with me in the operation of the Steel Company's mines for long time. He is a big. broad fellow, mentally and physically. I know that he will soon become an en thusiastic citizen. I know that he will boost for this section of Arizona and l can assure you that his dealings with you will be fair and just in every particular and I bespeak for him the same sort of hearty welcome and CO., operation that it has been my good fortune to have.

BIC BUG MAKES LAST
PAYMENT ON PLACERS
Mayer Claims, Worked Profitably
in Early Days, will Soon
Be Dredged

Final payment was made Saturday
to T f. Averill by the Big Bug Dredg-
ing company on his group of five placer
mining claims at Mayer, Arizona. The
management OF the company an
nounced as soon as the payment was
made that arrangements are under way
to begin the equipment of the property
build a dredging plant with capacity
of 5000 yards a day. The plant will be
at least three times as large as the
one recently completed on the proper
ties of the Speck Mining company on
Lynx creek.
Besides the Averill holdings the COM
pany recently took over, under lease,
several patented claims in Mayer and
some claims on which patent has been
applied for, belonging to the estate of
Joseph Mayer, deceased. The company
now controls q basin of the Big Bug
river one mile and half in length. the
claims covering almost the entire town
of Mayer.
The Averill and Mayer placers have
proved very rich in placer gold, and
besides have been pronounced by emil
nent mining engineers admirably ad-
apted to the dredge system of placer
mining. In fact, the ground is consid-
cred the best dredging proposition ex-
amined in the entire territory.
Many handsome fortunes were taken
from these claims by the pioneer min
ers who worked them. Recent examin-
ations show that only the rich spots
have been scratched, and that the
ground which now covers former beds
of the creek Is as rich as any diScoV-
cred by the pioneers.

AMERICAN ROAD PLANS
CHIHUAHUA EXTENSION

NAVOJOA, Sonora, Mexico, May 20.
The Southern Pacific officials are
here in behalf of the contemplated ex-
tension of the line from Alamos into
the rich mining region in western Chi
huahua and eastern Sonora. This eX-
tention would tap the great forests
in this section.
Business along the west coast is in
creasing rapidly, as a great deal of
American capital is being invested in
Sonora and Sinaloa, and old mines that
have been dormant for Eany years
are starting up again. In few months
the stamp mills will again be grinding
out gold. Rude miners cabins in the
great forests where the sound of the ak
had never penetrated, and for centuries
only the trod Of mocassined feet have
broken the silence, are now common;
where only a few short years ago saw
ages fought bloody battles, today the
hardy prospector with his burro wends
his way through the cool canyons In
search of the golden sand.
In the beautiful valleys, only re-
Gently the homes of hostile tribes, to-
day wave the green fields of grain, and
far away on the horizon rises the black
clouds of smoke from the Southern

EAGLE CREEK CONFLICTS
WITH SANTA FE ON SIX

BAKERSFIELD, May 20.-The Eagle
Creeks we'll on section 81, 31-23, Mid
way, is sanded up following a success
sion of interesting events. The well was
making about 1000 barrels day on the
pump and everything was moving
smoothly So much gas came from the
we'll. however that 1t was considered
advisable to move the boiler farther
away. The pump was stopped Tor tnls
purpose, and when it was started
again it was found that the valve was
choked with sand.
The tubing was pulled and the well
began to flow at a 1500-barrel rate.
1t sanded up after a short perform
ance. and now it will be necessary to
clean out the we'll. When this Is done
the pumping will be resumed, and un-
less it is necessary no more opportu-
mites will be given the well to volun-
teer fow
Captain Scofeld says whenever the
Eagle Creek is in commission the Santa
FEES big we'll on section 6, just over
the line from the Eagle Creek, stops
flowing. The Santa Fe will clean out
the we'll in the hope of bringing 1t
back to it's former record.
In addition to its faculty for stealing
the Santa Fe's production, the Eagle
Creeks we'll has the popularity of
sending up rocks with holes in them.
These noles are round and range up to
an inch and quarter in diameter. 1t
is supposed that they we're a part of
honeycombed stratum, the hollows of
which are filled with oil.

AMERICAN O|LFIELDS
FINISHES BIG WELL
Latest Doheny Achievement Does
5000 Barrels Daily by
Actual Measure

The American Oilfelds has finished
another we'll, No. 73, on its great pro-
ducing section, SO. 31-22, Sunset, which
is doing 5000 barrels a day by actual
measurement. The well is 985 feet deep
and has two strings of pipe. The prod
uct is light gravity. Field Manager
Jim O'Donnell reports that the well Is
one of the best, all points considered.
he has ever seen. The we'll first flowed
several weeks ago, but after trouble
from sand was drilled deeper.
On this section the American has a
trio of remarkable wells. No. 70, which
was recently finished, appears to have
increased its flow and is now doing
about 1900 barrels. No 81, one of the
first big wells brought in, is doing 1000
barrels. In addition to these there are
several smaller wells No. SO Is doing
about 200 barrels.
Before the month is over Manager
O'Donnell expects to complete four
more. Nos. So and 60 are in the sand,
and Nos. Sc and 5S also are nearing
completion.
Several wells are nearing the finish
ing stage on other of the company's
property. Eighteen strings of tools are
being operated.

ARCOLA LEASE CHANGES
OWNERSHIP At $4,000
New Outfit Proposes to Drill to
Third Sand in SUM-
set District

The sale of the lease of the Arcola
Crude Oil company to eighty acres
in section 2, 11-24 at Sunset has been
made in the Ida May Oil company,
recently organized corporation,
which is now in control of the prop
erty. The exact amount of the sale
price has been withheld, but it is
generally accepted to be In the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
The Arcola was owned by COM
pany composed principally of Connecti-
cut residents who appeared to be anX-
ious to get out of the oil business. w.
b. Moore, the well known Maricopa
oil man who has had charge of the
property for some time past, conducted
the negotiations and succeeded in clos
ing a deal satisfactory to the east
ernerS.
The Ida May Oil company is com
posed of A. Hartzell, j. P. Flannery
of San Francisco, George Kipp and
one or two other associates. The con-
trolling interests are held by the first
two named. Kipp, who is an expert
enced oil man, Is in charge of the
property and at present is superintend-
ing the beginning of much new work.
There are three wells now on the prop
erty but this number will be speedily
increased.
The lease held by the Arcola is vir-
tually perpetual, being in force as long
as oil is produced in commercial
quantities. The lease is said to be the
first ever made in the west side fields.
It was obtained ten years ago from e.
J. Emmons and his business associate
Norton.
The general supposition is that there
is g. third sand or gusher sand under
lying this part of the field and the
new company plans to put down deep
well in the hope of making its prop
erty more productive.
