NOTED BIOLOGIST PREDICTS BIG OIL
 FIELD IN ARIZONA
Alexander Roy, New York Oil Expert, Thinks the Chino Field Is One of the Corners in Western America.

PHoENIX. Ariz-. Dec. 24-Alex- snder Roy, the noted geologist e New York, has just completed an ex- animation Of the Chino Valley C.. field for New York people.
 MT. Roy is prominently known "a the oil and mining fraternity of tn country. and is now in Phoenix where he completed deal for the takin. over Of a lease of I60 acres in Chino Valley.
 He is high in the opinion that the Chino Valley is an oil field of greac merit-to use his own words:
 ''I am only too happy to state that from my view point on the subjest, the Chino Valley is going to be an ex- eeptiOnaIly large oil field Mr. Roy is a type of the geclogist that is quick to think. He is a silen, worker-a man that accomplishes | things in his own peculiar method. man of ability and of high reputs- ion.
 He has the confidence of New York men. who have sent him to the field 10 investigate and act according to bis judgment.
 As a result of his visit 10 Chino Valley. and after his examination of the field. he immediately began ne, gOtiations with the Arizona oil & Re | lining company. and with NJ. Mogran of the Great Chino Oil company which brought about his securing the | lease and the entrance of NIT. Roy and his New York people into the Chino Valley oil field. The deal was closed in Phoenix with the New York public behind MT. Roy and his ap- proval of the field; il means the CT ectiOn of derrickS and the placing or rigs in the valley regardless Of cost. IL was quite a task to interview NIT. Roy or have him speak about ! himself. but the fact that he is con | sulting geOlOgist for nine differeIS mining companies. including the Am erican Exploration company, t6e Massachusetts company and others, all Of which are actively working and who have abundance of capital st their command. is guarantee of NIT. ROy's reputation and standing.
 It would be putting it rather mild ly to say tkat NIT. Roy placed his approval on the Chino Valley. Here iS what he said:
 T predict that the first oil sands should he cut from lS0O to 2ooO feet where paraffin oil viii he found. and from ssn0 to sSoO feet further m depth the asphalt oil sands will be encountered from which all great Eushers flow"
 This k one uf the S;rOniest state. ments made relative tO the POSSihil- ities of the field. aud it has not ouiy tended to excite interest but it has been the means of the closing oi a number of deals by prominent peo' pie who have been interested ID the Chino Valley for some time. Speaking of the activity Oi the AT izona oil & Refining company, whose rig Is now being erected on their property. NIT. Roy says;
 The Arizona oil & Refining com uany has all the marks ot winuer. The company has at its command men who understand oil and oil bust uCSS
 ~I would sdvice the placing oi a well on each ten acres. so the trs'' would cover about 64 Of these wells In testing out su oil field II Is al ways best to sink three or four wells and get inc full average Producuon of wha, the field will make. but there
