REPORT ON THE
 CHINO VALLEY OIL FIELDS
(By John Ward)

Just having returned from the Chino valley oil field, find it a very prom ising oil field. There is everything that goes to indicate there is oil there-there is the shale, the sand stone and the fossil formation.
 I am associated with number of oil experts in the Chino valley, and myself and associates expect to sink well on our holdings, as soon as there is sufficient money on hand.
 l have been all oyer the Oklahoma and California oil fields, and have no hesltancy in saying that l consider the Chino valley oil field fully, if not better than any unproven ground observed while in Oklahoma
 l have been mining man for many yeara. and have had more or less experience iii the geological conditions of Arizona, as well as other western states, and I not only expect to invest my own money. out l intend to de- vote great deal of my time in the future to oil development in the Chino valley district, as l fully real ize the possibilities and the money to be made in the development of oil wells in a country that has so many showings of oil
 1 am at the present time in Phoe- nix, and have some assurances that will be able to arise a considerable sum of money in the very near fu- ture, as the people in this neighbor- hood are fully aware of the progress and of the entrance into the Chino i valley oil field of large moneyed in- terests from Oklahoma and the east I have been informed from reliable sources that the Gillespie interests are now on the way to this territory with oil derricks, also that the Stan dard Oil people have had their en- gineers in this vicinity for some time | and they have reported very favor ! ably on the Chino valley oil fields I have made a great deal of money out of the mining industry in years gone hy. and fully expect to mako
 much larger sums out of the Chino valley oil holdings.
 The formations found upon the sur i face. especially the shale and th' | Hssils and the sandstone are the par 1 tirular reasons. and the numerous oil domes which occur in that regioi
 are another geological formation 0 <, great importance to oil men.

the conferees in the senate bill was secured from the postage public util- ities and manufacturing sales section and the new inheritance taxes.
 With few exceptions the new taxes are effective with passage of the act Senator Simmons and Representative Kitchin, heading the senate and house conferees, tonight expressed satisfac- tion with the revisions. They believe the compromise measure an improve ment.
 The income tax section was adopted virtually as written by the senate. The new two per cent normal tax on in- comes of more than $2,O00 for married persons and s1,O00 for single persons is in addition to the present law ex- empting incomes of less than $3, 900 for single persons and $4,000 for married persons. Thus those between the new low exemption bases and the present exemption will pay only the new two per cent tax but single persons having an income of $3,000 or more and mar l ried persons having an income of $4000 or more would pay the full four per | cent normal tax.
 The senate income provisions allow i ing an additional exemption of $200, | for each dependent child to heads of 1 families subject to the present law l was retained. The exemption for chil- i dren however, does not apply to those subject to the new reduced tax with
 the s2.O00 and s1,000 exemptions, re-
 spectively, for married and single per
 sons.
 Surtaxes were agreed upon as fol- lows:
 One per cent on incomes over s5O00
 and less than s7500; 20 between S750O and $10,000; go between s10,000 and
 $12,500; 49o between s12,50O and s15,-

Buck Up, Deer Season Opens
 I'm Few Hours

On Monday the open season for turkeys and deer is on and in antici- patton a large number of veteran hunters with Vic Hanny, dean of the lot, are planning to g6 afield and a-mountain after game-oards strictly taboo. Open season for quail and ducks commences on October IS and the list of things to be hupted after is very long one and includes water to those who do not go forth or fifth amply supplied with this necessary fluid.
 There is race on to see who will come back to Phoenix with the first deer, unmatrimonially speaking. Lib orally supplied with anti buck fe- yer dope hunters will be marrying the fleet animals as soon as the law allows but of course no huntsman would think of following the evil California custom of stalking his deer the day before the season opens and then coming in with fine prize at 12:01 a. m. when the season opens one minute earlier. The luck of the California hunter in getting deer within a minute or two after the season opens is simply uncanny and in the land where the excuses of the bootlegeer are heard would not go for minute.
