BIB THINGS DOING IN CHINO FIELD

That there will be big things doing in the near future in the Chino Val ley oil field is the belief of R. l.. Mcllwaine. who has just returned from an extended trip into the dis trict. The reports of eminent geolo
 gists including those of the Standard Oil who have recently examined the field, is that the field is geologically perfect, showing no evidence of crushing or fracturing. So favorable have been these reports that a large number of companies have been and are being formed to actively enter the district Among these companies will be found the names of men high
 ly successful in the oil producing world and who are numbered among this country's largest producers. If the people could only realize the ser ious oil shortage with which this country is now confronted they would understand the urgent necessity of developing new fields. A few days ago A. c. Bedford, president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, stated that this country was using s5.000.0 900 barrels per year more oil than it was producing. According to MT. Durham during the four years

DESIRES ID COLLECT
 S10,000; HARRIS SUES

Adjutant General Harris desires to collect $10,000 from the Arizona Pub fishing company, the publisher of The Arizona Republican. A libel suit was filed in superior court yesterday through his attorneys, A. s. Hawkins and James P. Lavin. The complaint was presented early n the morning with the request that it be assigned to Judge Stanford's court. But in the order in which it would haVu been numbered, according to an ar engagement between Judge Stanford and Judge Lyman, the case would have fallen nto the latter's court Later in the day, after other actions had been filed the complaint was brought back and filed with num- Der that would take the litigation into ! Judge Stanford's court:
 The suit is based on a publication by The Republican on July 29 of the demand by Governor Campbell upon | Adiutant General Harris for his resig- nation, and special objection is taken 1 to these words:
 1 Governor Thomas F. Campbell | yesterday officially demanded the i resignation of Adjutant General l Charles w. Harris of the state of Arizona. The demand is that he
 tender his resignation to go into effect on August l.
 Adjutant General Harris yer bally stated to Malcolm Frazier,
 secretary of the governor that he 1 would not resign.
 Governor Campbell states that 1 on August l, when the First Ari-
 zona goes into federal service, | there will be no need of an ad-
 iutant general, but it is reported | that the demand flor the resigna- tion was precipitated by certain reports made by Colonel Harris
 regarding strike situations which reports have been characterized as | "seditious.
 It is averred that by these words and language as aforesaid, defendant intended to and did charge and as sert, and intended to be understood as charging and asserting, and by the readers of said newspaper was understood as charging and asserting that the plaintiff as such adjutn1
 general had made certain sedltlous reports regarding the strike situation at various points in the state. Sucf charge as made and published and as
 intended by defendant to be so un- derstood is false, malicious. scanda lOuS ana HpilNieScu anu uiu oAPoo'

 After a further recitation of the eff

 prays for a judgment in the sum c

ending with1916 as many wells were completed in Oklahoma as were dur ing the first nine years of develop
 ment and yet the daily average pro-
 duction of that state is falling short by thousands of barrels that of 1908. This serious shortage of oil with it's resulting high prices together with the very favorable reports of eminent geologists is inducing large amounts of capital to enter the Chino Valley oil field There is little doubt that the time is not distant when in the oil world Arizona will be attracting as much capial as she has by her un- rivalled position in the copper world.
