Standard Drill
and Rig Sent to
North Oil Field

PHOENIX. Ariz-, Dec. ia full
standard rig and drill is now
en- route for the Arizona Oil and Re
filming company's property. located in
Chino valley where the oil boom is
under full sway. The drill is expected
- arrive on the company's property
and to be in full operation by the 10th
OF this month
E. A. Edwards, the noted geologist.
who has been prominently identified
with the vast development of the Cali
fornia oil fields, will supervise the
work of drilling on the Arizona Oil
company's property.
The site of the initial drilling opera
! lions has been carefully selected by
Mr.. Edwards. and he Is banking his
reputation that the first drill will
strike oil.
The company states that the rig
will be set up and the well drilled on
section IS. which is the most favorable
location situated with reference to the
discovery well OF the Chino Valley on
company, where oil sands were pene-
trated for ITO feet in the first discov-
cry well.
The drilling operations to be car
ried on by the Arizona Oil and Refin-
ing company will be watched with par
ticuisr interest, as there are a num-
Der of companies in the field which
are about to start work. II will be a
race for oil with tremendous results.
The opening of this oil field in Arr
iona will mean the beginning of an oil
boom only duplicated by the activities
now prevailing in Wyoming. where
new millionaires are being turned out
daily.
With the interests back of the Arr
IONA Oil and Refining company, and
the treasury in strong condition, this
company is in position to carry on
extensive operations, and it is a free
prediction that they will not only
strike oil but pave the way for hun
dreds of other companies that will OPP
crate in the field. Various oil ex-
perts. including noted officials OF the
Standard Oil company, have placed
