TO OIL FIELD
EDWIN s. BRODlx BELIEVES THAT IF
NOT FOUND IN FIRST WELL IT
WILL SHOW UP ELSEWHERE.

Among the most firm believers in the

found somewhere in the general district
known as East Brownsville" is Edwin s.
Brodix Of San Antonio and Brownsville,
who has just returned to the city after
four months spent in Chicago. Mr.. Brodix
says many geologists have told him that
this section is located over an "antcline"
and that this anticline must hold an oil
pool.
Mr.. Brodx was gratified to learn upon
his return TO Brownsville that the drilling
of the first well in this district has been
financed and that drilling was to begin this
week. He is highly enthusiastic over il,
and is confident that somewhere between
the surface of the ground and 5000 feet
heneath il in the Brownsville vicinity a
great oil field is going TO he discovered.
Mr.. Brodix was in Chicago during the
entire time Of the bandit activities in this
section. which he said attracted much at
tention there because of numerous news
paper articles. He said that although the
condition tended for harmful temporary
effect on the outside world. vet it could
mt last. and the advertising received by
the Valley as result OF it will continue
for man wears to come. He expects to
remain. in Brownsville for the next twelve
months.

 THE FAIR
TT IS GIVEN BY I. C. ADAMS TO THE PRO- DUCER OF THE PUREST CREAM.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

J. L. Adams, manager of the Hotel Adams, at Phoenix, advised the
 Northern Arizona Fair Association, through Miss Sparks, that he wanted
 his name down for silver cup in

 President Fredericks has arranged that the Adams silver cup which has
 been ordered by the fair association is to go to the dairyman producing
 the purest cream. in the milk and cream contest which is to be held under the direction of the Arizona State Laboratory, during the fair. The silver cup for the purest milk is offered by the Yavapai County Medi- cal Society. Although active work had not been commenced on this con test until a week ago, much interest is being manifested by the dairymen throughout Northern Arizona, many already having made entries to Dr. H. I. Southworth, the superintendent in charge of this department.
 The judging will be done according to the latest score card of the U. S Bureau of Animal Industry and will be conducted by either the State Chemist, Professor Meservc, or Miss Jane Rider, the assistant State chem ist. The main points in judging the milk will be bacteria 5; flavor and odor, 25;. visible dirt, 10; milk fat 10; solids, not fat, 10; acidity, ,; bot. tie and caps. The fat in milk. less than 325%-O, 4ao and over-1O; solids not fat; less than 8.2596-0 and over 10. Strict attention should be given to the bottle containing the milk or cream and the cap. The bottle should be made Of clear glass and free from attached metal parts. Caps should i be sealed in their places with hot paraffin, or both cap and top of bot | tic covered with parchment paper, or other protection against water and 1 dirt. Deductions will be made for tinted glass, attached metal cover, un- protected or leaky cap, partially filled bottle or other conditions permitting contamination of milk or dctracting from the appearance of the package.
 This contest offers an exceptional to the dairymen of Northern Arizona to have their milk md cream properly analysed Entry blanks and information can be pro ,urcd at the Chamber of Commerce or from Dr. Southworth.

SARATOGA MILL ID SWING INTO

(From Tuesdays Daily)

The resumption Of the Saratoga
 Mining Company after many years of
 idlcness, due to the death of for
 mer owner, is one of the noteworthy
 of recent developments in the Brad
 shaw mountains. The general man
 agcr, J. L. Dcming, stated yesterday
 that the new Marathon mill is near
 ing completion and will be in action
 before November l, and a general
 movement will begin at that time in
 mine production. The renewal of op-
 crations at this gold property is due 10 attractive conditions demonstrated heretofore in the deep development work together with recent explora ton given by those now in charge, that conclusivcly prove strong prop crty with unlimited tonnage practical ly assured. Another matter to affect the future possibilities of this prop erty is its location. It adjoins on the south the old Crown King hold ings, in which the two main working points are within few hundred feet of each other The Saratoga also all other mines on that ifs sure so far as location and practical work are considered, but through un- avoidablc circumstances has lain idle ! for many years. Mir. Deming is quite optimistic over the outlook, and states his company's new plant will have capacity of treating over 150 tons of orc per day, from which may be inferred the productive ability of the Ii will also handle the old -rown King dump, which is conven- cntly situated for this purpose, and 10th products are to be millcd at the anne time.

Wood yesterday by Fitzhugh Lee, of Mint valley, to be processed and placed in the new ex- hibit for the Chamber of Commerce. According to Lee the onions will run 10 tons to an acre.
 Rainbow corn, not the kind that Luther Burbank has invented, but a freak variety, that originated on a farm near Dewey, has been given to Wood by A. R. Human. Burbank's rainbow on his corn of that name is in the color of the leaves of the stalk, while Humans is on the corn itself. The colors or the kernels range from jet black and dark blue and brown o-red, yellow and white, and the ears be brought in are expect ed to make one of the prettiest ex- hibits the chamber will have. There are three large ears of the new vari- ety, each of them coming from the same stalk. He also sent in stalk carrying three large well matured ears of Navajo blue corn.

 EXPLOSION
(From Tuesdays DaiIy.)

Death by an explosion of giant powder is the fate that has met Thomas Fryer, aged e, an old-time resident of Jerome and Yavapai coun- ty and onc-time partner of George w. Hull.
 The deceased had been working for Joe Larson on his claims, about mile and a half from the Copper Chief, and Larson, few days ago, went over to visit Fryer. On ar irving at the spot where the cabin in which Fryer lived was at one time he found a large hole, evidently caused by an explosive Larson thought that possibly Fryer might have gone to Jerome On his return to that city he found that Fryer was not there, and he informed the author itics.
 Judge w. II. Kearns made trip 10 the mines yesterday with coron- CTS jury, and after finding as much of Fryer as would fill an ordinary cigar box, they rendered q verdict, saying that he had met his death through an explosion of giant powder which he was known to have kept in lis cabin.

SUMMONS COMES ID ANOTHER
 CITIZEN
SAD DEATH OF J. w. WILL SON TAKES PLACE SUM DAY MORNING; WAS BENEVOLENT MAN.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 Rapidly is the Grim Reaper calling away well-known and beloved pioneer men ond women of this section, and the last to answer the silent summons is J. w. Wilson, whose death oc- cured on Sunday morning at 5 o'clock at his home in West Prescott. His affliction was Bright's disease, and his illness dates to many months ago, but it assumed a critical stage only recently. Joe Wilson's demise has occasioned expressions of deep sor- row, and his loss is to be sincerely regretted. Arriving in Prescott over a third of century ago he became central figure as a builder up of the country and his active associa- ton with any public movement to that end, gave him prominence as a jealous promoter for advancing the interests of the community. Mir Will son also was generous in and out of his business pursuits, and to any pub lie movement he was among the first to contribute literally. His splendid personality also brought to his side many friends, and it may truly be said, this splendid trait of his oper generosity was abused, but in his stricken condition he passed away without murmur. Looking backward the memory of Joe Wilson will be connected with everything good and nothing harmful The interests of this city and county were his, and no matter what the purpose, for bus mess or for pleasure, this man was al- ways at the front with his good will and open purse. Before coming to Prescott, in 1882, he was located at Albuquerque, N. M., as a clothing merchant. He left New York City in 1879, where he was the manager of large house in this business. Will, son came from revolutionary parent age. his ancestry participating in no- table achievements during that period He was born at Charlestown, Mass, on November II, 184S, and was nearing his 9th year when stricken down. Surviving him are wife and son and daughter, who were at his side to the last, brother, Judge Syl- vester Wilson, of Vallejo, Calif., and a sister, Miss Harriett F. Wilson, of Boston. He will be laid away this at 10 o'clock, and the funer- al takes place from Ruffner's nor uary.
