When Miss Anne Morgan was asked
if she were an anti-suffragist, she re-
sponded calmly Il am not anything so
foolish. Woman suffrage is coming,
and we must get ready for it.
The oldest living daughter of the
American Revolution, Mrs. H. Lawson
Hill, 104 years of age, is an ardent suf-
fragist, and declared that one of the
happiest days of her life was when she
cast her presidential vote at Califor-
mia election.
Rev. Father Mcmahon, pastor of the
aCtholic church of Our Lady of Lourdcs,
New York, has preached a strong ser
mon in favor of equal suffrage. THE
church has always stood for the better
ment of women said he.
The suffra gettes are working for th2
women in England who are earning less
than a penny an hour. The men and
women who do not know what it means
to a woman to earn less than a penny
per hour have not earned the right to
criticise the uffragettes.-Vida Gold .

OIL DISCOVERED
IN UPPER VERDE


Very much excitement is prevail
ing in Jerome and the Upper Verde
valley over oil being developed by
the Jerome Verde Oil Company,
and according to many reports re-
ccived in Prescott yesterday after
noon by telephone the first flow en-
'countercd was estimated at a gallon
a minute.
OF the many who inspected the
output, Judge Denison gave an in
teresting account of the noteworthy
determination made, and il Is his
belief as we'll as others who made
an investigation. that IL practically
solves the existence of an oil bed
in the region where the we'll has
been drilling for sometime. The
first indications of the oil strata be-
ing tapped was the cutting into a
gypsum formation, when an artesian
body of water came to the surface
from a depth of approximately 1000
feet. yesterday during the forenoon.
A small volume OF oil was noticeable
in the initial flow of water, and later
assumed such an increase in volume
that the information was Immediately
impaired to stockholders in Jerome,
about six miles distant.

An exodus from that city follow
ed and the reports were substantial
ed by the many who later returned
after making close observations. A
desirable condition attached to the
successful determinations accom-.
plished Is the high grade of the oil
developed. which. Judge Denison
states. is practically pure, and car
rics the coloring of kerosene. The
latest telephone reports stated tina,
the drill had penetrated the gypsum
formation to a depth OF twenty FIVE
feet. and the water was coming to
the surface with greater force than
when originally developed earlier in
the day. The shutting of Of the ar
testian flow OF water by cementins

when further drilling will be prose

SCHOOL OF MUSKETRY
HERE Is NOW ASSURED

Major General Arthur Murray, u.
s. A.. commanding the western d.
vision with headquarters at San
Francisco. has officially endorsed the
establishing of a school Of musketry
at Fort Whipple. as the rccommen-
dalton in his usual report submit
ted to the Secretary Of War at
Washington, will verify. General
Murray in speaking Of the selection
of Whipple for this military purpose,
says:
THE Importance of the school of
muskctry Is so great that It should
be converted into a service school
for the army at large as soon as
practicable. Pending its removal to
Fort Sill, Oklahoma, which is not
likely to come for some years, II
should meanwhile, be removed to
Fort Whipple."
This brief but emphatic declaration
on the part OF this prominently
known military man. follows after
an investigation of the field he fav-
ors so strongly for having this arm
OF the service located at Fort Whip
pie. General Murray was visitor
TO Whipple about six months ago
and inspected the military target
range at the Point of Rocks, but
was non-committal on his observa
tons. Later General Schuyler. com
handing the department. made
similar inspection, and aside from
being favorabiy impressed with eli

and convenience of Whipple as |
