SUPER ATTRACTION
 COMING TO PASTIME

The next real big attrac-
 tion coming to the Pastime
 is no other that the World renowned Actress Nazimova who will be featured in FThe Red Landern" on Saturday, November 18th. The "Red Lantern" is a Play of My sterious China, that gives Nazlmoya, the star of un- fathomable depths, a dual role which reveals the tre- mendeous range of her rare artistry. It is a a play of a thousand deligts, and no doubt willprove itself worthy of the thousands upon thou sands of fattering press no~ tices received at Booking offices in all parts of the country. One scene in the 3rd act of the Picture is of especial interest since it is said that this particular scene was staged at the cost of $25O, 900.
 The Programmes at the Pastime are being strength ened each day, and the man agement hopes to in the near future, have lined up one of the strongest daily program mes to be found, in North ern Arizona.

THE HOLBROOK OIL co. SECURES PERMIT IN
 CALIFORNIA

The work of the Holbrook
 Oil Company has been held
 back the last ten days owing
 to the large stem breaking
 near the socket end. This
 happened about a week ago
 and the result was a very
 difficult fishing jeb, however,
 ''Dad" Hastings was, as
 usual, equal to the occasion
 and the stem was taken to
 the Santa Fe shops at Wins low Tuesday last, the fore man of the blacksmith shop being sick delayed the repair being made, as a result drill ling has been resumed with a smaller bit (same dimen- sion) and lighter stem, which would not carry the large Mother Hubbard bit. This will not permit of as much depth being made as with the heavier tools, but work will be continued until the needed repairs are made. Jesse Rodgers has just com- pleted his first twenty-five cords of the 200 cord con- tract, which it is deemed will be sufficient fuel to complete the well. Every precaution is being taken to prevent the. pipes and tanks from being injured by the cold spell that is sure to follow.
 Another building has been erected this week which will care for the additional men that will soon be put to work on the double tour which will place this company in line to be among the first to pen citrate the oil sands of the field.
 Fred Grain, Secretary of the company, has been at Los Angeles this week in consultation with Gov. Meik- lejohn and some very infu- people of Los Angeles and San Francisco, have be- come identified with the Company. The California Corporation Commission has issued a permit to sell stock within that state whic h speaks for itself as but few companies pass the scrutiny of the California blue sky law.

PROMINENT JEROME
 CITIZENS VISIT HOLBROOK

Messrs. E. E. Vanderhop, J. w. Brown, B. H. Fur and Tom Smart, all sub- stantial citizens of the great est copper camp in the world, spent the forepart of the week going over the Hol- brook field. Monday in com pany with Jack Warden they visited the Holbrook, Hopi, and Adamana wells. Tues day they were shown the country tributary to the Zuni by Manager Wesley. All the gentlemen were loud in their praise of the field and were of one opinion that all the field needed was actual development, and while here MT. Brown increased his holdings in the Holbrook Oil Co. The endorsement from these gentlemen is certainly an asset as they are among Yavapai county's foremost business men. MT. Wander hop is the superintendent of construction for the United Verde Copper company, hay ing charge of the large steam shovels that are tearing down the mountain side on the ap- proach to town from the rail- road station. This work has been in operation for over a year and will require at least two more to complete, and is said to be the great est task of this kind that has ever been undertaken in this country. MT. Fur repre- sents the Public Utility com
 
 pnny of that place, while J. w. Brown is the proprietor of the Yavapai Drug store. Tom Smart is recognized as one of the pioneers of the field and holds a large acre age of valuable land and has sounded the praise of the Holbrook field since his first visit. The gentlemen de- parted Wednesday morning via auto for their home town.
