Lineup of New Organizations
Daily Increasing

Doc. " Bowsher is negotiating
for additional important oil land
holdings. Correspondence is re-
ceived almost daily, and indicates
that a vigorous movement for
Wickenburg oil lands is on. The
favorable outlook for early pas
sage Of the oil leasing bill has in
creased oil interest everywhere,
because the outlook for profitable
earnings is beckoning every pro-
ducing and oil refining company
in America.
Those who are most vitality in
terested in requirement of oil
lands are keenly alive to the posi-
bilities of production in the Wick
enburg oil district, which it is
generally conceded has a very
substantial and favorable outlook.
Geological facts are gradually
coming to the surface about this
region that every investor should
know. Among these are official
acknowledgements Of Arizona
containing oil fields. Why not?
Oil fields cause oil fever and oil
fever is contagious, because of the
millions in profit sharing possible
between the investors and produ-
GERS. The Wickenburg field Of
fers inducements to the small in
vestor for acquiring acreage that
may prove as rich as any of Texas,
Oklahoma or Wyoming. THERE'S
a constant lineup here of new or
ganizations, who come from east
west and south that are buying
live" claims outright with pro-
viso Of putting on drilling outfits
and beginning work at once.
Several Of these are in embryo,
while others have ordered their
outfits which are now en- route
and will be ''spudded in" before
the end of the month.
The general feeling here is one
of optimism that Wickenburg is
now on the highway to greater
and permanent
growth as to municipal progress
and prosperity.

Queen Bee Group Bought by
]. Nj. Dudley.

The Queen Bee mine was dis
covered in the early eighties and
has been an active property ever
since, the greater part of the
work being done by leasers.
Every man who worked on the
mine made money, some of them
cleaning up quite a stake. A
shaft was carried to consider
able depth and ore opened at all
levels. Along the outcrop of the
vein there was a fine body of ore,
the original assay running about
240 ounces silver and S12 gold.
Shoots opened on the 100 and 200
levels had ore that ran close to
1000 ounces silver, at least the
smelter returns showed the ore
to have that value. TIE mine is
situated on the north side of the
Niger Head and within short
distance of the main Mineral
Park road, and has been acquired
by ]. M. Dudley who intends to
patent the whole group and equip
it with modern machinery for
development.

RICHEST STRIKE MADE.
Rich Silver-Lead-Gold Find
Near the Vulture.

Announcement that four Mesa
men have made one of the richest
silver-lead- gold strikes in the his
tory of the Wickenburg district,
reached this city this morning,
when samples of the rock were
received. The four men working
the claims are Dressler Purdy,
Wilcox and Goodwin. They have
been in the Wickenburg district
for the past four months since
getting control of the property.
The property on which they have
made the strike is known as the
Paloma King. tits by no means a
new prospect, and in the past
has beer known to yield up good
ores. However, no attempt at
developing the ore bodies has
been made, until the Mesa organ
ization took hold of the mine. 1t
is located a few miles from the
famous cid Vulture mine of early
day history, and in a district
which is well mineralized and
from which rich ore has been
taken for many years.
In the past three months the
four operators have driven nearly
400 feet of tunnel and shaft
opening the ore bodies. They
have encountered ledge running
high in silver-lead content and
carrying vein twenty-four in
ches wide of high-grade lead OK
ides and peacock silver. The
ledge is in perfect place, and as
far as it has been followed, the
vein continues to grow in width
and richness.
According to timers Of the
district who know the mines of
Wickenburg and who are ac-
quainted with the ores Of the old
Vulture, the Mesa men have made
the richest strike in the history
Of the district.
