RETURNS FROM OIL FIELDS.

Judge J. P. Ryan, of Chloride, re- turned this week from trip to the Holbrook and Chino valley oil fields. At Holbrook he secured some locations and reports that many thousands of acres have so far been covered by oil placer locations. Holbrook people have raised about $S0O0 with which to sink the first test well, and have entered into a contract with Cali fornia driller to do the work. A rig will be brought in at once and the work of spudding in will be under way in month.
 The whole country from the petri- fled forest to the line of the Navajo reservation has been covered by loca- tions, and companies are in process of formation to secure funds for devel- opment work. If oil is discovered in the Holbrook country there is a vast territory to rely on.-K in g m a T Miner.

s7,000 HAY FIRE.

A very destructive fire occurred at Avondale yesterday. The large stack of baled hay across the road from the J. E. Mcintosh residence was com- pletely consumed. The pile contained about 250 tons and was valued at be- tween s6,000 and s7,000. Internal combustion is given as the cause of the fire. The Avondale company had a guard stationed at the hay stack both day and night for several months, and the guard who was on duty at the time the fire broke out said the first intimation he had of the blaze was when he discovered smoke issuing from all sides of the stack, the fire apparently originating from the center of the pile.-Buckeye Valley News.

MAY ESTABLISH 4 CHICLE
 PLANT AT WICKENBURG

Messrs Fleming and Lohriman, rep resenting Indian parties who are in- terested in the making of chicle and rubber from the ocatilla cactus, were visitors in town last week. They are looking over the country and seeing where ocatillas can be found in com mercial quantities and intend to put in an experimental plant to determine the various uses to which their prod uct can be put. After looking over the prospects in this vicinity they in- vestigated the country along the A. & c. railroad in the vicinity of Sa- lome and upon their return reported that they would be back again in the near future. On account of the good supply of the purest water supply in Arizona and its being the center of the district in which there are a great many ocatillas, Wickenburg would be a very good place to put in a plant, and we hope that in the near future we can be chewing Hassayampa gum and riding on Hassayampa tires made from the ocatillas.-Wickenburg Min CT.

 His nephew, James Wingfield, of Jerome, cannot recall that, after 1883, he was ever out of the Verde valley.
 The nearest surviving relatives ot the deceased are his brothers, Will. liam and Henry, both Verde valley pi. oneers.-Jerome News.

BADLY BURNED BY STEAM.

Frank Sylvester was the victim of an unusual accident at noon Friday, when badly burned by steam.
 Sylvester was heating water on the stove in his store. The can had a screw top which he thought was loos- ened to allow the steam to escape.

Immediate medical assistance was had and it was found that that the skin was all burned off of MT. Sylvester's forehead, and the rest of his face badly blistered.-Williams News.

COAL MEN PLEDGE AID TO RED
CROSS,

A number of prominent coal oper.
| ators responded to Chairman John
R. Downing's invitation to come to
Lexington and discuss the plan of
enlisting the miners in the Red Cross
campaign and very satisfactory
meeting was held recently in the Red
Cross rooms in the Fayette Bank
building. H. E. Bullock, president
of the Kentucky Block Coal Co.,
presided and it was the concensus of
opinion that every miner in the State
should give days work to the Red
Cross and every operator dollar for
dollar with the amount of their
wages. Executive Secretary S. w.
Calder, will at once take steps to Sc
cure the full cooperation of the OPP
orators and miners and success seems
assured from the number that have
already responded to the suggestion.
During the meeting Miss Malloy,
who has been spending much time
in the coal districts of McCreary
county and doing splendid work for
the Red Cross, made a highly inter
esting and instructive address, which
was received with thanks and ap-
plause.
