OIL BEARING SAND
 REACHED IN WELLS
 IN YkVAPAI COUNTY
Chino Valley Company Has Struck Oil In Drillings And Jerome People Think An other Bonanza Has Been Opened.

JEROME. April 2S.-There is oil in the Chino Valley company's well. This has been proved beyond the last shadow of g doubt.
 How much oil there is has not been demonstrated of course. But it has been demonstrated that the oil is a yellow parafine base petroleum, like that which is found in Oklahoma. u is not a black asphalt base oil, such as is found in California.
 This determination agrees with the findings of Engineer Etienne A. Rit- ter. who recently made a geological examination of the Arizona Del Rio companys holdings. adjoining those of the Chino Valley company. He stated that the field resembled the Oklahoma fields, not those California. and that if oil was found it would be a parafine base product.
 The Chino Valley and Arizona Del Rio companies are naturally much pleased with the developments of the last week. They know that they have oil and both intend to proceed with all possible dispatch to prove that it is there in commercial quantities.
 Charles Prochnow, of Kingman. one of the directors of the Del Rio company, was present when the Chino well was bailed out the other day. When mud, sand and water. glisten- ing with oil, were brought up from the bottom. he agreed that the last doubt about petroleum being there was dispelled.
 The tctal depth of the well is 1868 feet. It is possible to get the tools down just below the 1900-foot point and barely into the oil sand. Drill ings which fell down from the cap rock above were mixed with the sand and mud but everything brought up was mixed with oil
 Because the well frequently caves at various places where it is not cased. the Chino Valley drillers are proceeding with the greatest of care. lest they lose their tools. The next thing to be done is to pull 300 feet of small casing and replace it with a larger casing. This, it is expected, can be accomplished in a very few days.
 The principal strata of water through which the well passes is at 2S5 feet. A string of pipe has been ordered to pump from below that point and show whether there are any other water strata
 Edward L. Doheney. the California oil millionaire, continues to keep a sharp watch on the Chino Valley field. Last week one of his representatives located some land near that of the Chino Valley company.

Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by the use of this prescription. Go to any active drug store and get q bottle of Bon Opto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of a glass of water and let 1t dissolve. With this liquid bathe the eyes two to four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammation and red ness will quickly disappear. If your eyes bother you even little it is your duty to take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have saved their sight if they had cared for their eyes in time.

Something Of the extent of the rich ground it had entered and opened then became known. When investors realized its real meaning.

How ever. they have had so much rich ore to get out of the way as they went along that there really has not been much time thus far. with limited hoist ing capacity through the double com partment working shaft that has served the mine. to prosecute develop ment. That is. there has not been much time since the ore developed commercial proportions and required handling. Current report is that a new shaft is considered an early re- quirement in order to give the proper ty the advantage of such output as it is now equal to and that before long they will be sinking a four compart- ment main working, equipped with skips in the ore ways.

 With increased shaft facilities, Magma will be readily able to run it's copper production to materially higher figure They have been max ing around -- pounds the last several months. By reason of the richness of the ore. grading even higher than the bonanza glance out put of Jerome Verde Extension, their costs have held low in spite of mining at depth and other lesser retarding features. the latter overcome in the

MAY CHANCE PLAN
 OF WORK AT A. & A.

JEROME. April 2S.-Some change in the plan of developing the Arkansas & Arizona may be adopted after April 25, when David NJ. Goodrich and Hal stead Lindeley arrive to look over that property Goodrich is head of the Goodrich-Lockhart syndicate, which controls 51 percent of the A. A. stock. and Lindcley is the syndicate's en- gineer.
 Work was stopped several days ago in the weste crOsscut. which was near the property line Operations now arc being oncentrated on a drift along the contact from the west crosscut. and in the east crosscut.
 The east crOsscut is looking more promising than ever IL is all in DOT phyry like that in which the Jerome Verde glance was struck. A few days ago it cut through a stringer of iron sulphide, green with copper stain on one side It is evident that a strong copper solution passed along this stringer at one time. but it is not being followed.
 Lindeley has indicated in telegrams that the plan of development may he changed. It is pissohlc that he con- templates having the shaft sunk to greater depth. or he may have dia- mond drilling in mind. There is strong belief among local mining men that greater depth is what is needed at inc A. X A.
 The crank shaft of the electric pump on the 6Do-foot level was rc. placed this week but Thursday tho motor which drives it was burned out. Today. however. the pump is opcrat- ing normally.

A Free Prescription You Can Have
 Filled and Use at Home

Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses, and those who wear glasses. will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says, after using it Il was almost blind. Could not see to read at all. Now l can read everything without my glasses and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like . miracle to me- A lady who used 1t sayc: {: '-The atmosphere seemed hay with or without glasses. but after using this pre- scription for 15 days everything seems clear. l can read even fine print with out glasses" Another who used 1t says :: II was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked. tired eyes which induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years both for distance and work. and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the type writing on the machine before me. 1 can do both now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether. l can count the fiuttering leaves on the trees across the street now. which for several years have looked like a dim green blur to me.

money to carry them through the up- building or development period. If the investor follows this same course with regard to mining opportunities, real and alleged, which come before him, he has a very excellent chance to make money If he does not investi- gate, however. he is more than likely to lose his gold just as he would if he threw it around haphazard in any convenient street.
 Two Good Examples.
 Two good examples, just at present in much prominence, are at this time afforded by Arizona in proof of the requirements of large funds, the high est intelligence and a great deal of patience and persistence of profiting that at no time were their possibilit- ies shouted from the housetops. The class of investors they acquired were people who knew of the property man. agements and had confidence. height ened by information which they were able to get personally as to the prop critics and the districts they work in. Reference is made in Magma, the share market sensation of the winter and at this time conceded to be a wonderfully rich property, and to New Cornelia, which is now just about ready to break into production with the only big new ore body and plant equipment that will enter the produc- ing list this year.
 Magma Required Patience.
 The Magma property in the Superior district was acquired by the Gunn- Thompson interests about six years ago. They put lot of money in the property before public participation was considered. For more than three years George Gum. one of the ablest of the mining engineers ever interest ed in western mineral development. was under more or less fire because Of the judgment he pronounced on this property He believed it a great one. Some of his associates came to doubt that after considerable work had fail ed of developing all that was expected. But MT. Gum was not to be shaken and the development campaign he had

 Mining men in general throughout the Copper MOuntain-BiG Bug dis lricis are very much interested in the wcrk being done in the Binshampton mine by reason of the bearing ii has upon their own operations, and by reason of its bearing upon the future value of the section in which it is To- cated.

In thlS work as in the gigantic task of plant construction which has just been finished. specialists attended every step. and specialists remain per. manently on the job to carry out the required performances. They are yardage and tonnage record holders

In no department are they lacking. but they are working tOgcth9r as one, and have done so from the beginning. lt is for this reason that New Cornelia stands out as perfect piece of work at this time-as near perfect as any thing ever set up. It lacks no feature that is necessary to efficiency, and it has no gateway closed to any import ant development that may come up for later attention. It embraces ev- erything in both mining and recovery plants that is essential and that spells preparedness. and it has if all of the hest. To quote keen observer who has familiarity with great many of Inc industrial plants of various kinds all over the world: These people knew what they required and they put it in.

 outputting Copper Soon
 New Cornelia final tightening up and overlooking in the recovery plants will be finished by the first of the month. By that time also will be completed all the advance preparation to enable the operation of the steam shovel pit at full efficiency. Three steam shOvels are in there now and their permanent manner of attack lies before them. They are headed into the mountain on exactly the lines that will carry out the plans which will be operated under during the next thirty years in this particular division. Of course there may be more ore developed than there is in sight now. and the steam shOvels may be dozen in number and the mining area much expanded under their dip pers. and the life of the property showed along to double and more the present period, but all that will be taken care of in orderly fashion by the extension of the plans they now have and not by their alteration. As to the recovery plants. they can be eX- banded as needs be. Also there is provision for alterations from time to time to meet the requirements of changing ore. alterations which will not represent large cost and yet will provide highest efficiency. Practical ly the whole of the plants will go in service for many years. As said above the tuning up of the several plants is practically finished. The beginning of the making of copper by the new process will be witnessed early in the month New Cornelia will be turning out the highest grade electrolytic cop per finding its way on the markets of the world. the electrolytic treatment the Ajo plant and the copper ready for immediate delivery to the consum- CT.
 The Price of Copper
 Downward tendency in the price of copper recently has been checked by reports of pending large sales for war uses. Meantime there is really no copper for sale. Quotations can be nigh or low without material effect on the metal. Everybody is sold far ahead. Consumers for the time being are supplied with metal for. their more pressing demands. The balance all they can get away from. they are showing well into the future. It is no longer possible to get delivery under period of months, for instance, on an electric motor of any size above the smaller ones. of which there is some stock ahead. Every motor. by the way, makes large consumption of copper. There are the brushes and the Things besides the other better known copper parts, and for which no substitute can be made. Possibility of abrupt ending of the European war has had a considerable part in the lowering of metal quotations. While definite peace news would doubtless have some tendency toward bringing general market collapse. no occur renee of that kind is looked forward to as likely of having long life at any high pitch. In copper and steel par ticularly there is the best of reasons to anticipate they will quickly stabil- ize after the first upset and that the figures they settle around will be a fair one and assured of some years of continuance.

Teachers of home economics can reach
into the homes of the patrons of the

knowledge of food conditions They can
explain the reasons why American fam
lilies are asked to modify some of their
food habits. They can raise food econ

They can assist families in matters of
economy so that better living conditions
can be maintained OF course, all home
economics teachers will alter laboratory
practices so as to conform TO present
food conditions, but they may do much
more; they may carefully make plain
the reasons why America with her album
dance of food material asks her people
to select carefully, use wisely and waste
not one particle"
The bureaus circular points out that
home economics teachers have already
assisted materially in the work of food
preservation They can help further, it
is asserted, by taking pupils on fruit
picking picnics to gather fruit for can
ming that would otherwise go to waste
This will be possible until very late in
