FORM COMPANY
 TO EXPLOIT OIL FIELD
QFrom Thursday's Daily)

r. w. Hall, of Yuma. and B. P. , Carey, of Los Angeles, passed through Prescott yesterday afternoon for the Middle Verde Valley, to in- stall rig and begin boring for oil. The former is president of the Yuma Verde Oil Company, and the latter a heavy stockholder.
 Mir Hall will he remembered As . frequent visitor to the oil country in the past year, at which time he was the representative of many citizens of Yuma. who secured several hun dred acres of located land All of the acreage has been consolidated under corporate head. and the pur- pose is to establish camp immedi- ately and begin operations. A rig Is cn route io the Verde Valley, with capacity of drilling 1000 feet
 Mir Hall was found to be com municaiivc over the possibilities of the undertaking and stated there IS but little doubt that big oil field will be determined in the valley. He believes all that is required io es- tablish this condition is we'll prop erly drilled that the subierranean water flow may be handled as drill ing goes ahead. From a personal investigation of the wells of the Jerome Verde Company, near Cot ltonwood. inc Tempe-Verde on the Turner ranch on Middle Verde. and the Verde Valley near Camp Verde a flow IS practically established in each and of very fine grade. With the water cased oH in the wells q commercial volume unquestionably would be flowing With the above wells equally distributed for dis lance of nearly twenty-five miles from the Upper to the Lower Verde have proved that oil is unquestion- ably in existence from one end to inc other of that section.
 Mir. Hall is an engineer of con siderable prominence throughout the west. and was with the Reclamation Service for many years, his last dn- ties being with the Laguna dam al Yuma. from which service he re- signed about one year ago to en'er ,he oil industry MT. Carey comes from the Bakersfield region. where Inc is identified with several oil pro ldueing companies. and is recognized os n, authority in that industry
 Over fifty residents of Yuma, among whom are many prominent Ibusiness men, are identified with the new oil project. and several oi who" lhave been on the ground during the past year

(From Wednesdays Dailv.)

Dan Genung, who came to this city Sunday from Stanton, reports that there is considerable activity lin mining throughout Southern Yav- apai and Northwestern Yuma coun- ties.
 The property of R. w. Bullard, of Congress- Junction, near Wedcn, in the Harcouyas mountains is the scene of great activity. Several cars of rich copper ore have already been shipped to the smelters al Fl Paso. Much chloriding. according to Mir Genung, k also being done in the vicinity of Vendor.
 The old Peterson property, taken over year ago by Ziegler Brothers, is also active. recent shipment of thirty tons haying given most sa,is- factory results. Delivery of a large shipment of machinery for this prop erty has been delayed, owing to bad condition of roads. due to heavy summer rains. Zeiger Brothers have expended nearly 5000 on the road from their property to the county road and expect to install suf6cien, plant to reduce the ore on the ground in the near future.
 With the recent report tha, the Octave mine will soon resume ac- tive operations. this news seems to indicate tha, the mining industry is getting down to the solid business. like basis which is essential for sue. cess.

 The strike is regarded as one of inc most important made in tha, region, and mining men were some what surprised that the discovery should have occurred al the poin, designated, as under the mineraiogi cal conditions prevailing, surface in- dications were not, seemingly, at tractive. The tunnel is to be run 2 OcO feet,
 The strike of this rich ore body a, point so near the surface and in a dyke that is SO heavily mineralized for a breadth of over 500 feet. is an interesting one from scientific

standpoint, the belief prevailing in engineering circles that the known veins would not be penetrated until the tunnel was extended seyera, hundred feet more, where the serie 6 of veins would be encountered as in. dicated in earlier development. The richness of the ore in the new strike. together with the extent of the vein. IS questioning interest.
 The vein opened on the Nelson in this exploration lies parallel with the Lincoln mine. and brings that zone into favor as offering strong induce ments for exploration by ,unneling where possible
 The foresight, of Geo. P. Harring- ton in successfully solving this inter esting problem in mining, follows af- ter many years of operating in that particular zone. where his practicai ability again asserts itself in bringing into prominence field which until the advent of the Nelson people, was classed as virgin, and of speculative possibilities only.

ARIZONA ROADS MAP
 SOON TO BE RELEASED
(FIrom Fridays Daily.)

That the scon-to-be published IT, lustrated Road Map of the Arizona Good Roads Association will be the last word in road logging" and the finest piece of work, geographically, ever issued in similar connection Is the prophecy of Messrs. Locke and Hamilton. the men who have gathered the data. These pathfinders left Prescott for Los Angeles We'd ncsday morning.
 Locke and Hamilton seem to be making no idle boast, judging from the stack of alluring photos snapped by them on their journey of nearly year, during which they travelled over 10000 miles.
 Every city, town. village and re. sort throughout the length and breadth of the New State will have appropriate mention and the compil- CTS have assured President Norris that Prescott and vicinity will re- ccive generous mention. The claims of each section will be accurately set forth and no road leading to the op- cninR up of the resources of the State will be omitted
 Although there arc at present less than 5000 miles of roads in Arizona ihe hook will contain at least 3s6 pages, the number used 10 show maps, covering over 10000 miles in California and this book is consid. cred the most complete and exhaus- tive of the kind ever issued since the tribute levied by the Caesars resulted in the completion of the Appian Way into Immortal Rome.
 The best news brought by the map men was that Northern Arizona can now be negotiated clear across by the average automobile. The people of Mohave County are about to spend county appropriation of S1Ol000. for the construction of highway to Needles and San Der nardino County. in California. is making ready to connect this main artery with a road to the California State Highway, leading into Los Angeles. So great is the faith of the County Supervisors of Mohave in the value of the forthcoming pub lication, that. in addition 10 sub scription of $50 made last year, s"o more has been appropriated to this purpose.
 With the coming of MT. Boykill, from the Office of Roads in Wash lngton, some of the pictures made by MeSsrs Locke and Hamilton will be seen for the first time, in Pres colt, early :n January.
 The men say that some of the scenes viewed by them during their travels outshine any in California m grandeur. variety and educational m- ierest and will bring millions into the State when the world and his  wife realize that. even now. they can be reached without discomfort en route.
