OIL EXCITEMENT
 IS AT FEVER HEAT.
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

(FrOm Wednesdays Daily.)
 W. F.. Rhodes, of the Prescott Auto Company, who returned yesterday morning from the Verde Valley, re ports that section as again in the thrOes of a great oil excitement, based on the statements made by an expert who stated that at a certain point a flow will be unquestiOnably determined at depth of not over 500 feet. This opinion has had the effect of reviving the excitement that prevailed when the first locations were made by California operators, a few weeks ago, when a mad rush oe cured in the lower portion of the valley, which resulted in over 15,OOO acres being filed upon. The lively in terest has suddenly manifested itself until in includes practically every foot of land open in the valley for a length of over twenty-five miles, and yesterdays filings as received at the county recorders office sub stantiates the rush that is again pre- vailing. Forty-eight locations were received and recorded, each embrae- ing 16O acres, or in the aggregate 1880 acres, all situated north of the former appropriations.
 The names of the new lOcators are E.. A. Jordan, Ed. Boschat, J. NJ. Thscker, Ralph Jacobs, Frank Turner, P. D. Sargent, O. J. Ames, W. G. Crowder, R. L. Sallie, Fife and o. C. Patterson, W. A. Jordan, Thomas Lyle and others. "Petroleum dis trict," is designated as the name of the new oil field. O. J. Ames, for himself and others filed on an addi- tiOnal 500 acre tract the day before, which swells the new field to nearly 5000 acres.
 The farmers of the valley are be- ginning to appreciate the value of their lands more now than ever be- fore and several flattering offers have been flatly refused. Griffin and Fillmore, among the original lOeatOrs, are now in San Francisco. and intend to have q standard bore machine at work within the next thirty days.

After closing contract for an exchange of ores between the Con solidated Arizona Smelling Company and the Clara Consolidated Gold, Sil- yer and Copper Mining Company, George Mitchell, president and gen eral manager of the latter, returned Thursday to Swansea with the inten- tion of leaving for Europe at once to arrange with his associates for the addition of new units to the Swansea plant, doubling the present capacity. Under the terms of the ore exchange contract the Consoli- dated company will exchange one hundred tons daily with the Clara company, the former furnishing sul- phides and the latter oxidized ores. The ores are of the same general values so that there will be very little balance either way at the end of a specified term. The sulphides will be from the Blue Bell mine and will enable the Clara company to conduct smelting operations on a much larger scale. A smaller con- tract was made by Mir. Mitchell with the smelting company before B. H. Bennetts retired as beneral manager. but the new contract, according to MT. Mitchell, is more equitable and provides for a larger daily ton mage. Mitchell says:

CFrom Saturdays Daily.)

Labor troubles at the Puntenney Lime Works were resumed a few days ago on an individual line of action, when Jose Alvarado, one of the last agitatOrs to be discharged, pro- tested against the methods of the management in conducting the busi- ness, by resorting to the use of fire arms, firing one shot at z. Sheffield, assistant superintendent, at close range, but without inflicting any in. jury. Alvarado was vicious, and without any fOrewarning, picked up a rifle of 22-ealibre and fired deliber- ately at MT. Puntenney, who was engaged in work across the guleh, and was unaware that the discharged emplOye was contemplating the talk ing of his life. The aim of the would-be assassin was poor, and al though he fired deliberately and was within a hundred feet of MT. Shef- field, the bullet, fortunately missed its mark. Alvarado did not attempt 10 fire but once, and was taken into rustOdv immediately hv officars Ha was brought to this city and given a hearing yesterday, having no de fense whatever to offer. He went to jail to await action of the grand jury in default of bonds in the sum of $500.

PIONEER PASSES SEVENTY-N|NTH
 MILESTONE
(From Saturdays Daiiy)


 Celebrating his .eventy-ninth birth day and the forty anniversary of his arrival in Arizona, W. H. Ferguson, received the congratula- tions of hosts of friends yesterday. Considering his age, Mir Ferguson is in fairly good health and expects to pass many more milestOnes on life's journey.
 He lived in southern Arizona sev- eral years before coming to Prescott, in 1872, which has been his home since. After receiving an honorable discharge from a California regiment at the close of the civil war he en- gagged in furnishing beef to the army posts under contract. Later he embarked in the stock business on a large scale near Fort Crittenden, also known as Fort Buchanan. He was stricken ill subsequently, and during his absence in Tucson, re- eeiving medical treatment, his part ner was killed by the Indians, the entire ranch destroyed by fire and all of the cattle stolen. Subsequent ly he filed a claim for the damages with the government, $17,5OO of which is still unpaid.

From Thursdays DanvJ

F. D. Mccarthy, who claims to be a shelter man, was arrested yester- day by Sheriff Smith and tried by Judge MeLane on the charge of stealing a pistol from the O. K. stables, pawning the weapon later, and receiving only three dollars. He was found guilty and sentenced to serve fifty days in the county jail. He was very much exercised over the heavy penalty inflicted, saying that the parallel between a s gun and a fifty day confinement, was beyond an judicial procedure he had ever heard of. He went to jail in very irate frame of mind.

A CERTAIN CURE FOR CATARRH

The mucous membranes of the nose and throat are exposed to the irritas ting influence of dust, impure air, etc., and for this reason are the places Catarrh usually first manifests itself. But these are simply exciting causes, the inflammation and discharge being really produced by an impure anG vitiated condition of the blood. IL is we'll enough to use some local treat Inent to cleanse these membranes, but any one can readily see that If the infiammatory matter IS left i'll the blood, such treatment cannot possibly have any permanent effect. $. S. s. cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all impure catarrhal matter and irritating germs and at the same time builds up the system by its fine tonic effects. When s. s. $. has purified the blood, the mucous surfaces are all nourished and made healthy. There can be no inflammation of the mem- branes then, because the blood is pure, and every tissue receives nour- ishnent instead of irritating matter. Our book on Catarrh will interest every sufferer of this disease, and it will likewise give proper advice as to what IS best to use as a local aid while s. S. s. is purifying the blood. This book is free to all, and we will also be glad to give any special advice you may feel you need. s. S. $. is sold at drug stores.

MORE DETAILS.

The Tempe election board on the primary election discovered one fact Tuesday and that is that it is some thing of a task to check up the re- turns of a primary election. Though there were only little over two hund red and fifty votes cast here, the board labored hard and diligently and it was three o'clock yesterday morning before the last ticket was counted. One thing noticeable in the election Tuesday was the number of Republicans who wanted to vote at least one democrat and who. in order to do so by virtue of the pres ent system, Were obliged to vote a dem- ocratic ticket to the exclusion of their own ticket There were probably g couple of dozen of that kind in Tempe In giving in the results of the election yesterday morning for publication, in the hurry to get the matter into print, the results in the cases of precinct committee men were not given. They were as follows: Republican. Sam Brown. A, C. G. Jones. 72, A. J. Pe- ters. 73, l. Y. Stewart, 72, Levi Walker, 72. Democratic. l.. D. Crook 126, C. w. Harris, S7: w. R. Redden 127. Price Wickliffee. 109, C. NJ. Zander 101.
 The fact. too, that one socialist tick ct was cast here. was lost track of in yesterdays report.
 Incidentally it is worthy of note, that while the full results of the election in Tempe were not known until after three o'clock yesterday morning. they appeared in full in that mornings Re publican and the paper was delivered in Tempe about on time.
