Looks Like Yuma Men
 Were to the Good

According to the territorial papers of Douglas, Prescott, Jerome and Phoenix, the oil exciteent in the Verde valley shows an increase instead of a decrease.
 From the top of the Mogollon noun tains beyond Cedar Creek to the ca jt, every inch of ground has been located to the Pfau mines on the west, cover ing a distance of over twenty miles.
 This excitement was started by Har- " McPhaul, of Yuma and several as sociates, and Mir. McPhaul and the Yuma men interested with him have several choice section already located and MT. McPhaul will leave for Je- rome in a few days.
 A drilling plant is now enroute to the lower Verde, and several Califor' mia oil operators are now on the field, which fact serves to intensity the sit uation.
 Asked about the country to-day MT McPhaul said that the nearest railway station to the prospective field at the present time is Jerome, and that the field was about 15 miles from that city
 He says that the smell of oil is very strong and that also every indication points to a much better field than the California fields.
 If it proves true Yuma will have sev eral oil kings in her midst when the new field is properly opened up.

5. p. to Control
 San Diego Line
The Tucson Citizen says:

The Tucson Citizen says:
 In connection with the eports con- corning the almost certain extension of the El Paso and Southwestern to Tucson, it is reported in various seni-official sources that the Southern Pacific has acquired control of the Spreckles road now being constructed from San Diego to Yuma.
 It is further stated that the next step wifi be the establishment or a connection between this line at Yuma and the Phoenix and Buckeye line, whioh in turn will join with the Phoe- nix and Eastern line through the Box Canyon of the Gila and construct the often-discussed road to Durango, Co., orado, thus making trans-contlnen- tai line through to San Diego.
 Concerning the rumored taking ov- CT of the Spreckles' line, Col. Epes Randolph said:
 "T have not heard that the Spreckles line has become Southern Pacific , property" he said, "and I am inclinei not to give it Credence.
 "The matter is not in my jurisdlc- tion, however, and I have no advices concerning it" a

Women Cover Under
 Rain of Bullets

Phoenix, Ariz., July 17-Apparentiy bent on driving the women out of the neighborhood, two men, Sunday night poured a fusilade of bullets into house half a nile east of Eastlake park, occupied by Bessie Scuyler and Rose Smith.
 Walter Nelson, who lives a half Llile further east, is belieI ed to have been one of the men and has been at- rested on that charge. Constable Jim Murphy and the sheriffs office are quietly working on the case and it is expected that some sensational evi- dence will be introduced at Nelson's hearing which is set for Thursday morning.
 While their home was being made a sieve, the girls covered in a fright ened heap on the floor When fourtee bullets as a later count showed, had crashed through the doors. windows and walls of the dwelling, some one
 
 shattered the glass of one window with the butt of gun and shouted to the women that they had better le Lvo the vicinity and not return.
 It was not until hours afterward the frightened girls gathered cour age to leave he place. One of theIn reused Constable Jim Murphy, and early yesterday morning an investiga- ton was made. The tracks of two men were all around the house. It was evident that the bullets had been fired from different angles and it is mir qcle that none of them struck the In- mates. The bullets were of 45 calibre.
 The women suspected Nelson who had warned them several times to move Their suspicious were shared ty the officers, for it was recalled that Saturday Nelson had called at the sheriff's office to complain.
 He asked to have the women remov- ct. but he was told that since there had been TO disturbance nothing could be done.
 It has also been. learned that yester- day morning, Nelson asked an ac- quaintance to ascertain what steps were being taken to apprehend the shooters. Nelson said that a friend of his had committed the crime.
 The shooting caused much excite ment i'll that neighborhood. Some of tho bullets passed through the house and struck the residence of J. J. Ham ilton some distance on. MT. Hamilton and his family were driven from their hU1e.
 Nelson was arraigned this morn ing and his bail was fixed at $1,5CC which he said he would furnish this afternoon.

Wind DemOIiSheS
 Fl Centro Houses

The Fl Centro Standard says:
 The strongest wind and the only one that ever faintly resembled a cyclone struck Ell Centro Sunday afternoon and tore it's way through the south east part of town, leaving one dead and several injured and a path of wreckage and ruin that is appalling to contemplate.
 The wind first struck Dicks res taurant and took the roof off almost killing a seven year old boy, Navik by name, who was in the house at the time. The lad is stil in a serious con- dition.
 Next in it's path was the Hamilton Supply Co.,, wholsale house, a cor rugated iron building of immense size.
 The four walls and roof were lifted the iron torn in 'strips and. sent hurl- ing through the air like so many bits of paper. Here four men were in the building. They made dive for the side door, but were pinned down by the falling timbers. They were unhurt however save for a few bruises.
 Four Hindus were near the supply house. They got in the way of the flying debris and one was killed and two seriously hurt.
 The next building was the Presby' terian church. It looks as if some mighty power had crushed it from above as if it were a mere paper structure. The timbers lie scattered over the whole town.-
 The fair grounds fence now lies Ill over the country east of the railroad tr2cks'
 The damage is estimated at abolt $3O,OO0.

RandOIph's Visit,
 Was For Railroad

Ihe Tucson Star in an interview with Col. Epes Randolph, states that his recent visit to Yuma and Andrade was for the s. P. company and says that Col. Randolph gave out the fol lowing statement:
 "The survey which we are making near Andrade, following my visit of few days ago, is for the purpose of finding out how to best protect the property of the California Develop ment Co.,, and was not in the inter- ests of the government, in case the government is not successful in clos ing the present break" Col Randolph stated:
 "The break is discharging the water of the Colorado into Volcano Lake, following the channel of the Abejas or Ree river. Overflowing the south and southwest banks of the lake it will be discharged into the Gulf of California
 "But as the inflow continues, the silt deposits will render the lake more shallow, and as it fills up the tendency may be to discharge the water in the direction of the Imperial valley with it's 275,000 acres of cultivated farms and into the Salton sea.
 'Three years ago I D,;ilt ten miles of Ievee on high ground, northwest of the lake and 15 miles east of the lake in a general northerly and southerlv direction, this latter levee being on top of the mesa. This served for the pro- lection of the Imperial valley, and the Colorado was intimately forced back into it's natural water course.
 'Now it may be necessary to con- meet the two levees with third. which will be eleven miles in length, thus making a protecting dyke 55 miles in length.
 Much of the country around Vol cano Lake has never been surveyed. l have put surveying corps into the field to make contour map of the district with all elevations definitely figured out, and also to find out what volume of water is being discharged into the lake and how rapidly the lake is rising.
 "It is simply case, in which, if the governments efforts to levee the Col orado fail, we must take measures to protect the $5,O0O0Co investment the Hartman interests have in the water system of the Imperial valley, under the title of the California Develop n1ent company.
 ~'The survey will require about three weeks to complete"

Republic of Mexico
 May Exclude Chinese

Mexico City, July 17-An indirect result of the massacre of Chinese at Torreon in the revolution may be the means of the exclusion from Mexi- co of all Chinamen. At one time Mex ico encouraged the importation of the Chinamen on account of the scarcity of labor, but exactly those arguments, economic and racial, that led to their exclusion from the U. s. are now be- ing put forward by Mexico.
 It is very likely that at the next ses- sion of congress an exclusion act will be passed.
