Drilling Oil Wells Near Winslow

full completion the work contem-
plated by the company.
\ number of experienced oil
men have visited the well recently
and pronounce it a flattering pros
pect, one going so far as to say
that he was sure oil in paying
quantities would be found in this
well II is generally believed by
all who are in a position to know
that within a very short time this
company will have discovered on
the property they are now drilling
a profitable oil field
The discovery of oil in paying
quantities in the state of Arizona
means the establishment of an
other profitable industry and a
large increase of wealth to the
territory The benefits to be de-
rived from finding oil in paying
quantities cannot be measured. as
it is bound to cheaper fuel. the
high cost of which has and will
retard the progress of the terri
tory. II will furnish employment
to a large number of skilled la
borers and. as has been the his
tory wherever discovered, will in
crease the population of all towns
so fortunate as to be situated near
the point of its discovery.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1911-11-06

At a depth of about 500 feet, the
Northern Arizona Oil company
struck a small flow of gas in the
well they are drilling two miles
east of Winslow. The fact Of find
ing gas has so encouraged those
interested in the company drilling
this well that they contemplate
raising the price of stock.
In the event of finding oil in
paving quantities. which from
present indications is most prob
able. il is the intention of the
company TO drill all the territory
held by it i'm this vicinity, amount
ing to some three thousand acres.
1t is the further intention of the
company at this time to commence
the drilling of a well on their
holdings seven miles west of Phoe-
nix Immediately after the compile
ton of the well now drilling at
Winslow. irrespective of whether
or not oil is found in that well.
Mr.. T. ]. Powell of Norfolk. Va,
who recently became interested in
the Northern Arizona Oil company.
started for the east to arrange for
the sale of stock of the company
for the purpose of raising suf-
ficient funds to carry to success

ground floor of the Fleming block.
Its growth has been steady from
the very first and in the last three
or four years il has been truly
phenomenal.
Mr.. Wakelin has always taken a
deep interest in the affairs of
his store but never has managed
it himself. In April, 1900. Leander
LaChance, one of the most highly
respected citizens ever claimed by
Phoenix, was employed as mana
ger. He continued to act in that
capacity until his death, in 1910.
At that time he was succeeded by
W NJ Edwards, who has been
connected with the Wakelin COM
pany for the past II years and the
promotion of Mr.. Edwards as man.
ager was a well deserved and pop
ular one.
Business grew so rapidly under
Mr.. LaChance's management that
the floor space in the Fleming
block eventually grew too small
and in 1908 the store was moved
to the O'Neill block, where it re-
mains. There the company has
1900 square feet of space on the
main floor and a basement Of the
same area. Even this, however. is
not too much room. In the busy
season the basement and store are
