VERDE OIL PEOPLE
CONTINUE ACTIVITY

CAMP VERDE. Ariz, March 80
The last week has been, perhaps
one OF the most important in the
history OF the oil development Of
the Verde Valley. in that the largest
transactions have taken place.
Early in the week J. II. Barrett,
mining man from San Francisco
and Nevada. and who had been for
some time looking the situation over,
finished and signed up a contract
with Frank Turner and associates
whereby he secured two sections Of
oil land locations in sections 2S %.
- and -. Township 10 A., X. 4
East. on which he has contracted to
organize two companies TO drill for
oil.
Later III the week DR. w G. De
Wore and c. O.. Jones. OF Tempe,
Arizona. contracted for two sections
OF land in the Middle Verde. lying
To the north OF the rig OF the Tempe
Verde Oil company. and have signed
a contract to organize company
on each OF these sections Within
thirty days They also secured ~
acres OF patented lands for each Of
these new companies.
In addition to the above the
e..
Tempe Verde Oil company not being
satisfied with 400 acres Of oil land
locations and 81 acres Of patented
lands bought 400 acres more land
for their company
The rig for this company has
been in process of being set up for
the last two weeks. and on Thurs
day last. the last shipment of 1900
pounds OF drilling tools arrived and
the company will commence to drop
the drill on Monday, April l.
This company is strong financially
and has good business management
and has two good oil well men on
the derrick. You may look to see
something doing by this company
II is predicted that this will be the
hrst company To reach the 1000 foot
mark
The Verde Valley Oil company
which struck little oil now nearly
fifty days ago are still waiting for
the balance of their casing to case
out the water at SIS feet
The Jerome Oil company. nearly
opposite Cottonwood, has had more
than fair share OF grief in the last
three weeks Driller Darling ha,
demonstrated himself a first class
fisherman. but their trouble seems
to be over On Thursday last they
got under way again and phone
