OIL DISCOVERED IN CO.,
 COMING IS THE REPORT
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily)
 Fred Johnson, who arrived from Flagstaff Monday night, brings news of oil having been developed by a Pennsylvania company operating 45 miles to the northeast of that city, and gives credibility to the report by saying that he was on the ground when the oil came to the surface. There was considerable excitement in the camp, he says, and arrange ments have been made to at once capp off the flow. Mr. Johnson says the management desires to suppress the news. The operating company for several months had been carrying on exploration quiet ly, and their holdings, being iso- lated from routes of travel, gave them a free hand without attract ing any attention. The field is un- surveyed, and lies close to the Lit tie Colorado river. Johnson had been working at the camp, and comes to this city on court busi- ness. He is emphatic in stating that the discovery is bona fidc one.

DUCK SHOOTING REGU-
 LATED BY UNCLE SAM
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Dally.l
 Prescott sportsmen may not know, it, but it is a fact just the same that duck shooting cannot commence until October 18th. This sport throughout the country has been placed under the jurisdiction of the federal authorities through the en- act'lent of the migratory bird law. This law has caused a great deal of dissatisfaction among sportsmen because it is palpably unjust-thc zones having been created in a wrong manner-and a number of cases have been taken before the courts in an effort to have it de clared unconstitutional. Thus far, however. the law is in effect and it is the duty of the United States officers to enforce it.
 Arizona's state law provides that ducks may be shot between Septem- Der 1 and April 1. The federal statutes. however, supercede the state laws and it is the present rule that the open season shall last only from October Is to February l.

LONG WAIT FOR
 NEW COURT HOUSE
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(frOm We0neSuay Ddlly.J
 All hope of breaking ground for the new S?5O,OOO court house has been abandoned for the present and the board of supervisors has settled down to a period Of waiting. Real izing that it is practically impossible to dispose of the bond issue under the present stringent condition of the money market, they now look forward to at least one years delay in the plans for the proposed new structure.
 Not a single bond-buying house has submitted a bid for the bonds, and the local banks have evidently determined that their money is now worth more than five per cent.
 The bonds were voted in July, at which time it was hoped that the old structure would be removed and the ground cleared and made ready for construction work by January 1, 1915. And there is no question but that this program would have materialized but for the sudden ad- vent of the European War.
 Had the bonds been voted six months previous to last July there would have been no hitch, and the structure would now be gradually looming above the plaza.

 Some idea Of the architectural beauty of the new structure, togeth- CT with its commodious proportions, can already be obtained. The extra force of bricklayers has made the walls move skyward with remarkable rapidity during the past two weeks The granite foundation and walls of the first floor are surmounted by handsome dark, red brick, which will be topped by classical granite trimmings. The builders have al ready reached the top of the second story. In fact. so fast are the con tractors working that the old brick plant, which was temporarily revived to produce the product for the new structure, is having hard work keep ing the contractors supplied.
 The school officials are particu- larly anxious to have the building completed in time for the commence ment of the second semester. They have elaborate plans for increasing the enrolment of the institution 100 per cent when the new building is ready for occupancy.

ROLAND KOSHER IN
 JURED BY LIGHTNING
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 The victim of a bolt Of lightning, Roland Moshcr, Of Miller Valley, is confined in the Mercy hospital with a broken knec-cap and other minor injuries which may incapacitate him for a long time. Mosher was hit Monday at the Miller Valley ice de pot. where inc was employed.
 Just as he placed his hands on the steel gate, flash of lightning struck in the neighborhood. Mosher only recalls having gone to open the iron gate. The electricity travel led along the steel bar and hit him with full force. Just how his knee cap was broken will probably never be known. but it is believed the shock caused him to lunge forward and that his knee hit the iron gate, or that in the fall to the ground he put all of his weight upon one side.
 When picked up by fellow work CTS. Mosher was unconscious. When he regained consciousness 1t was thought his injuries amounted to bruises. An examination yesterday morning. however, disclosed the broken knee cap and he was ordered 10 the hospital for treatment.

CENSORSHIP IS
 STRICT IN EUROPE
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Daily)
 Just how difficult it is to procure accurate accounts of conditions in Europe, owing to the war censors, is illustrated by a letter received yesterday by Julius Jacobi, of this city, from his mother in Berlin Like thousands of other epistles sent from that war-ridden country, this one came unsealed. It simply means that all mail is at the dis posal of the government agents, to peruse as they desire, confscate or pass. This precaution is probably necessary to prevent spies using the mails as an auxiliary in plying their profession.
 Adhering to the government in structions, Mir. Jacobi's mother only makes a casual reference to the war, using but these words: q suppose you know we are engaged in a great struggle" Mir. Jacobi, how ever, learned that his two younger brothers were ordered to the front during the latter part of June, an indication that mobilizing commcnc- cd some time before war was de clarcd. The mother has not heard from her sons since the day she bade them farewell.
