RIVER 1T OIL FLOWING UNDER
 ARIZONA STATE.

On the possibilities of oil in commer- cial quantities in Arizona there is re- ported here a recenE report of Mir. F. Ronald Sager. oil geologist, whose firm, the Sager Oil Drilling company, of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is re- ported to have recently contracted for boring on the locations of the Ameri- can Oil Fields corporation to exploit the oil resources of Arizona
 from nersonal examination of the various districts and study of govern ment statistics, bulletins and reports, and the reports of other oil geologists. t appears that there exists an oil stratification running diagonally across almost the entire state in . northwest southeast direction, varying in width from a few to many miles. My investigation began in the vicinity of Antelope valley and the Uinkaret and Kaibab plateauX, where a large area in that section of the state had been withdrawn from oil and petro- leum entry by the United States gov ernment upon the recommendation of MT. Ralph Arnold, eminent authority on oil lands oils, gas, etc.
 Continuing my investigation my at tention was directed to a district local ly known as the Chino valley and the Verde river country in Yavapai coun- ty, the merits of which I will take up in detail later in this report.
 Following the general course of the stratification we come to the RoOse- welt lake and Tonto Basin district in Gila county, which includes consid- erable district that has been the sub ject of more or less investigation.
 Further to the southeast is t''e san Carlos district which might p.Operi- be said to be a part or continue tion oi the Benson or main San Pedro valley oil stratification. For the entire dis tance from Antelope valley to Upper

co partnership operators going ahead with work in the mining districts of the ssate. It is regrettable, but none the less trlle that some cf ehese con- cerns are not within the pale of le- gitimacy as mining men see it. Their shortcomings are due in some in stances to ignorance and inoompe- tence and in others to purpose to de- fraud. Establishment of the dividing line present a difficult problem, the working out of which is one of the things now crowding for attention as measure of protection to both the public and the mining industry. Par ticularly under war conditions, the n- dustry is too important to the general welfare and advancement of the na- ton to permit of it's having handicaps of any sort continued upon it, and much less increased in number.
 s20,00o,0o0 the Month.
 With respect to the operations of de- veloping properties in the state, it is conservative to say that they are add ing two million dollars the month to the expenditures entering into Arizona mining for labor and materials. The pay rolls of the producing mining com- panies in the state operating in de- veloped ore bodies of commercial char acter and with longer life assured them by reason of larger developed and developing resources than enjoyed in any previous period of their exist ence. aggregate around $S,00e,0 900 the month. Their outlays for timbers powder. fuel, steel other constantly necessary supplies and on construc- tion account. the latter never entirely at q standstil, reach a total of con siderably more than eS.0G0000 tho month, exclusive of the important and large item of taxation. Disburse- ments of Arizona metal producers each month in association with tho dis bursements of concerns engaged upon mineral development readily make a highly conservative total of 20,000;0G0, the bulk of which is distributed in Ari- Zona.
 Increase Capitalization
 Denn Arizona's s1,500,000 for further development is to be acquired through issuance of additional shares. The capitalization of the company will thus be increased to s5,0O0,00O from the present $3,5GO,O00, divided into shares of par value of s10. The new shares will be offered to present hold CTS of stock in the company. In the event of their failure to absorb these.

pendous boom as the world has not yet seen.
 He says: "A few months ago my at tention was attracted to reports that some parafine base oil had been found in the Chino Valley section. Mir Hays and I made a trip to investigate and found some people trying to recover an old well drilled years before which had been regarded as spoiled. They were bailing the day we arrived and lot of gas was coming up and some stuff they said was oil We went and burned some of it because We were afraid it wasn't oil but it was The showing was so good it didn't take us long to decide to secure some land in the vii cinitv. Then we went to MT Amund- sen, general manager of Babbitt Broth CTS system of stores, and to MT. George Babbitt, and told them what rossibil ities there were for oil. They said they didn't want to be in any unsuccessful oil wells and the only way they would consider it would be if we would have a report made by the most competent man they could select and in case the report was favorable. We finally agreed and they named Etienne F. Ritter con- sulting geologist of the Midwest Com Ildt.N T W FO1llIS. lie cd1llc on ana we drcve him back and forth all over fifty or sixty miles of territory for ten days and his report cost us some money all right but it was favorable Then we went back to MT Babbitt and Mir. Amundsen and their friends and they .came in after Fred Hensine, their reg ular field man and partner. came down and tasted the real oil and said: Tt isn't good enough to eat but it's good enough to spend some money on. While MT. Ritter was there he kindly told US that most of the land we had previously secured wasn't worth much because it was in a syncline instead of an anticline but we didn't care much because he showed us where the good oil land was and we were able to get it as we were there first before people had grabbed about all the iand within twenty five miles like they have now. In fact MT. Ritter says we now have far the best chance of anybody to get oil and to get the biggest wells

From local newspaper of May IS, 1917:

From local newspaper of May IS,
 In these days when the vaguest rum- or of activity by oil locators or oper- ators in Wyoming, Montana New Mex ico or California, regardless how re- mote from a proven field is sufficent to start run on all the publicly and privately owned land within thirty or forty miles and the organization and financing of dozens of oil exploitation companies il behooves Arizona to take stock of walat resources she may pos sess of this character.
 That oil drilling experiments are being undertaken here of vital import ance to the future of the great local smelling and mining industries, as well as to the world at large, and which are likely to place Arizona in the unique position of rivalng Oklahoma in her basic industry, is the assertion of F. L. Mullen, of Oatman, Arizona, well known in connection with the famous Tom Reed mine of which he was in charge for many years.
 Associated with MT. Mullen in the Arizona Del Rio Oil company are a number of men whose activities have made them millionaires and largely in creased the taxable wealth of Arizona, among them Geo. BabOitt, of Rabbit Brothers and Of Babbitt & Poison, re- cent purchaser for $212,000, of the Cen tral school property in Phoenix. whose multifarious activities ramify over the state.
 Mir Mullen is stopping at the Adams hotel and his story of how he induced George I.abbitt to take an interest in the hitherto discredited occupation of hunting for oil in Arizona furnishes an interesting commentary, on the import ance now attached to such experiments by even men of the most substantial wealth and conservative trend of mind. MT. Mullen is an Irishman and starts out by saying that oil is the one miss ing link in the industrial chain here in Arizona and that if he finds any kind of oil in commercial quantities, from midnight oil to castor oil. that this state will be the scene Of such stu
