MIDWAY FIELD WINS
NEWCOMERS CAPITAL
Territory Now Dotted with Der
rlCks Attracts Additional
Attention

Oil men returning from the North
Midway field are enthusiastic over the
showing of the wells there, most Of
which are comparatively new. The re-
gion from the Lakeview north to Tenn
blor is being dotted with incredible
rapidity with rigs that spring up al
most over night, 1t is said, while al
most daily there are reports of the
bringing in of new wells.
The Traders company has begun
pumping on the new well near Bear
creek, brought in late last week, and
the flow is declared to be greater than
at first predicted.
The Santa Fe well in %, 31-22. is
making 80 barrels day from COM
paratively shallow territory. 1t is said
to be only 100 feet deep.
The Midway Chief is down 1900 feet
and gas has been coming in for the
last fifty feet with a slight flicker"
of oil. These are taken as splendid
indications by the drillers, who are
prepared to handle a gusher, on the
theory that the loose grained sand en-
countered, which Is exactly like that
met in the drilling of the California
Midway, indicates unusually big wells.
The company is prepared to go to 2500
II necessary, but it Is believed that
that depth will not be required. The
company has spent $4,000 on the new
well, 1t is said.
The No. we'll of the American Crude
Oil company, which came in Friday,
is doing fully as well as the previous
one and now the company boasts nine
flowing wells. Plans are made to be-
gin drilling on the No. 20 well imme-
dately. The company has never sunk
a dry hole.
An effort was made yesterday to cap
the big Lakeview gusher.
The Pioneer Midway on section 30.
31-23, has gone into the sand. The
oil went into the air with a roar and
for a number of hours yielded at the
rate of 10000 barrels. Then the well
choked and no effort has been made
to clear it.
The Pioneer Midway we'll is 2700 feet
and Superintendent Ben Stroud made
the record in the field in drilling a
deep we'll, seven months only having
elapsed since the well was spudded In
The new we'll is in the same section
as the Mays and the sand was reached
at a slightly greater depth.

BONANZA STRIKE STIRS
ARIZONA PR0SPECT0RS
Discovery in Silver Mountain Dis
triCt, at Sixty-Six Feet,
Assays 100000 Ton

PRESCOTT, April 6.-Exctement is
district Of the Bradshaw mountains
over the rich discovery made a few
days ago by John Quellco. He un-
covered gold ore of bonanza values in
a crosscut from shaft at a. depth of
sixty-six feet. Assays of the rich
streak run from 100000 to 5000, 900 to
the ton, some OF it being more than
half its weight in the yellow metal.
Samples of the bonanza find have been
brought to this city by Quelico.
The vein in which the find was made
is a bonded one, and the magnitude
of the discovery can be better under
stood when 1t is known that the lowest
assay returns from the leanest of a
thirty-foot face is over 81 in gold. and
these assays were made from samples
of ledge matter; 1t was considered as
waste and believed to be barren of
values.
Not since the discovery of the
famous Peck, Crown King and Tiger
mines has such interest been shown in
the Bradshaw mountains as I'm the last
few days since the rich find was rv>
ported. Miners and prospectors from
surrounding Q1SlIlCtS dTe dlItduy HoNh-
ing to the discovery, hoping to locate
adjoining claims with a view of de-
veloping other bonanzas.
The fact that the discovery was
made in a crosscut run through what
was believed to be the footwall of the
vein adds further interest, as 1t has
been the custom of miners and pros
pectors in their operations to follow
ore streaks showing fair values, rarely
crosscutting into what they believed to
be the walls of the vein. but which in
many instances have proved to be
only the bands of a series OF ore de-
posits covering wide dyke acres.
To say that the development of the
new discovery is being rushed is put
ting ii mildly. The rich values are in
quartz and schist and since the bright
crystallized wire gold was first en-
countered the miners employed have
been working without intermisslon.
The property Is known as the Monte
Carlo group. 1t comprises five claims
and is located nine miles south of
Crown King terminus OF the Bradshaw
Mountain railroad, and a mile and
half from the old Kentuck ranch, a
pioneer settlement. The owners are
John Quelico, the discoverer; John Re-
vello better known as "Burro john"
Charles Ardea and Mrs. John Revello.
Mr.. Quelico is among the most ener-
getic and enterprising miners and
prospectors of the country.
