LAST REHEARSAL
 FOR LYRIC CLUB
 CONCERT TONIGHT.
Local Musicians Who Will Render Concert Will Rehearse for Last
 lime "Wednesday Evening

The final rehearsal for the Lyric club concert, to be given next Wed nesday evening at the Trinity Pro- Cathedral House under the auspices of the Trinity Junior Guild, will be held tonight.
 The order of the program will be shifted slightly to accommodate MT James J. McBain, who will sing four numbers from the "Eliland Cycle by von Fielitz. Mir McBain will give his baritone solos immediately after the first group of chorus selections while Mrs w. B. Barr will render her violin solos immediately follow ing the second group of ballads by the club.
 Knowledge of the lyrics of MT Me Bain's selections adds greatly to the interest in his solos. The first mum Der of the cycle, Silent Woe,' tells of the sad and solitary life of a monk who feels deeply his sequestration, point where our sympathies have reached the fearful stage there comes into the sad ones life little sun shine, and the second number, Roses is the Accompaniment to sweet and soulful notes and glances to q fair one in the person of a nun who also feels heavily the solitude of incarceration. And just as things are going along beautifully, the eternally vigilant abbot enters upon the scene.
 Follows "Anathema,'' which is con
 siderable castigation set to music
 that is as vigorous as the abbot maledictions. The last number Resignation finds our hero re- duced to his original state of lonely despair, and if the music is truly de- scriptive he seems due to remain for
 evermore welded only to his original silent but holy woe.
 Mrs. Westervelt has gotten much hard work out of the Lyric club, in- | dividually and collectively, in pre- pairing for this coming concert. She and William Conrad Mills are de serving of the credit for the very excellent program which has beer arranged The chorus numbers have all been specially arranged for foul part female voices and the range o1 | the selection has been such as tC | please everyone.

|O|L |S STRUCK
 AT TONTO BASIN
Report Comes That Colonel Fleming's Company has Found the Fluid in Com mercial Quantities. $. o. Men on Ground

It is said that the expectations of Col. James A. Fleming, head of the Tonto Basin Oil company operating near the Roosevelt dam, have been realized and that oil in commercial quantities has been struck. The for nations which Colonel Fleming had described before beginning boring were encountered as the drilling proceeded and so certain were those who were keeping track of the progress of the work that oil would at last be struck that for some time representatives of the Standard oil company have been on the ground.
 The story of the striking of the oil reservoir is thus told by the Arizona Record:
 Oil in commercial quantities has been developed at the well of the Tonto Basin Oil company across the lake from Roosevelt. according to word brought to Globe last night by George Shute and O. A. Berry. They declare that the well of the Tonto Basin com panv is nearly filled with crude oil of parafine base and the highest quality. Col. James A. Fleming, president of the Tonto Basin oil company, was giv- en samples of oil brought back by Mr. Shute and MT. Berry and will have them tested at once. In the meantime he is making rapid preparations for extensive operations at the well
 From the report brought back from Roosevelt last night Col Fleming was | able to announce that the oil is already | in the well in commercial quantities and he expects, with a little further 1 drilling that the flow. will reach at ! least 100 barrels. Casing is already on | the way here to protect the 60 feet of naked hole at the bottom of the well | and it will be driven within the next I ten days.
 l Operations at the Tonto we'll as at the Salome well. were suspended some 1 time ago because of the floods. At the
 time drilling stopped at the Tonto well l Col Fleming and his associates were
 confident that they were directly on top of the oil basin. Some oil was 1 coming up from the bottom of the well | through the shale, but it was not ir l commercial quantities.
 Since operations ceased the well has | drilled itself in In other words the
 oil has worked up through the thir
 capping of shale and has filled the wei
 to point within a few feet from the
 top. When operations are resumed tht
 thin capplng of shale will be drilled
 out and the main body of oil opened up.
 Frcm the first Col Fleming, wht
 pioneered the field has been confident
 that commercial oil wells would h'
 opened up. He has struggled agains
 terrific odds to put down his well ant
 has risked his own funds in develop
 ment of the project. No obstacle wa:
 too great for him to surmount and thu
 community will join him in rejoicin: over his success.
