T0ntO Basin Promises To Become Another
 C0alinga Oil Field

The Miami oil and Development company. having complied with all the requirements of the law. will immediately commence operations in the Tonto Basin Oil Fields.
 The company is composed princi- l,ally of the business men of Phoe- LiX, and other cities of Arizona who have perceived from the first that a discovery of oil in the Roose- welt district means a much needed impetus to every line of business in the state; in fact millions of capital will at once be invested here and Arizona will pulsate with prosperity.
 The Tonto Basin Oil Fields have been compared very favorably to the Coalinga fields of California; and but a short time will lapse now, in their opinion. when the history of California's great oil field will be repeated.
 On the 20th of January, the Tonto Basin Oil company now operating near Roosevelt, reported a discov- cry of both oil and gas: this fact proves that in the vicinity of their well there is deposit of oil
 The Miami Oil and Development company has acquired what is look = ed upon as the cream of the oil bearing land at Roosevelt. and ow- ing to the discovery of the company BOW operating there, this proposition carries with it much merit.
 Oil in the Tonto Basin means new cities. new railroads, new industries and prosperity, especially for Phoe- nix.
 The operations of the Miami Oil and Development company will be watched with much interest by all those interested in the welfare of the state.
 The company is practically financ- ed and but a small portion of the capital stock will be offered to the public at F 1-2c per share
 A small investment in this com pany may make you independent

larger increase occurred in our ship ments to Italy. the exports last month being 217.9S2 bales and those of a year ago being 54,S24 bales. The explanation is that much of the cotton now going to taly passes on to Austria-Hungary- Germany. The shipments France showed d loss in January, Ne sent 70,901 bales to that country last month, as com pared with 7S,a74 bales year ago. The German loss is very heavy, of course. The shipments to that country last month were s9,sis bales. X year ago we sent 30s.ll6 bales to Germany But the Janu- ary exports of cotton to Germany ran 52,S37 bales above the exports in December. Exports to all other countries amounted to 397,S45 bales last month, as compared with l7s.- 527 bales in lJanuary. 1914.
 The total exports of cotton in the first six months of the war amount ed to 3.9TS.329 bales. as against G. 4ss7a2 bales in the corresponding

PIANIST WILL TRY
 TO BREAK RECORD

In an attempt to break his former record of 65 hours and minutes, J. NJ. Waterbury. long distance pianist. will start in Monday noon and play continuously until he is exhausted The contest against the former world $ record will take place in the window of the Standard Furniture company on West Washington street
 The only time anybodr ever came close to outplaying Waterbury was at Bridgeport, Conn. few years ago, when young lady played GA hours without stopping. Waterbury played one hour longer, and then had to stop from sheer exhaustion. Last sum- mer he repeated his former perform ance and added seven minutes to his time. He has made d wager to play 72 hours without stopping. inside of the next two or three weeks.

This loss of

period of 1913-ii This loss of D. 511.423 bales is large, but consider what the south looked forward to- When the war began the export cotton market, in so far as, Europe was concerned. was practically closed. The indications were that it would be closed for many mouths Yet. with the war only six months old, we are sending out more cotton now. considering the January report, than we were d year ago. The Janary shipments were 319.903 bales. greater than those in January, 1e1l. No wonder that the south has hear tened up.
 It should also be noted that this rapid increase in the outward move ment of cotton has helped substan- tially to put the exchange market in the remarkable position it is now in. Cotton has always been a great pro- ducer of foreign credits. and it is doing the work now just as it has heretofore, Buffalo Express.

ANOTHER COMPANY IN
 THE ROOSEVELT FIELD
The Miami Oil & Development Com. pany Will Begin Operations
 Next Month -..

The field of exploration for oil in the vicinity of the Roosevelt dam, is to be broadened The recently formed Miami Oil X Development company has secured ground adjacent to that of the Tolfto Basin Oil company where Col James A Fleming and as sociates have been ting for the last two years, ana will begin work about the middle of next month Messrs Harris ana snyder, tate of Miami have been the moving spirits of the company and have secured the co -oepration of several business men of this and other places in Arizona The corporation has been passed by the state corporation commission. IL is almost a close corporatin. It al ready has the equipment necessary including the casing that will be re quired, and this equipment, now in different parts of the country, is De- ing collected together A very little stock will be sold, only enough 70 meet the expenses of labor required in sinking.
 The promoters of the Miami Oil & Development company have been en- couraged by the promise of success shown in the operations of the Tonto company under the direction Of Col Fleming. In the Torto field there have been signs of oil from the be- ginning and last fall gas in consid = erabe volume was encountered. In January the indications of oil in quan- tity became much stronger.
 Until the work of the Tonto com pany was begun, Mir. Harris said last night, there had been no scientific ef-
