near Camp Verde and would be prose.
cuted diligently until great depth has
been reached or an oil flow deter
mined. The rig works satisfactorily,
and for the present will not be run
to its full capacity, the lack of casing
being the only drawback. This ma.
terial is on the road from the coast,
and is expected next week. He also
stated that p. l.. Griffin writes from
San Francisco that his rig has been
shipped and this operator will arrive
in few days to personally direct
drilling. 1t is expected that before

outfit will be running, This will
make three rigs testing that valley,
one near Cottonwood, one on the Mid.
die Verde and the other on the Lower

over twenty-five miles. The opera.
