OIL BOOM IN COUNTY
SOON is PREDICTED

DOUGLAS. Feb. ST there IS
any oil in Arizona, it looks like i;
will be found in the Sulphur Spring
Valley. according 10 F. d. HubbeN.
local rea, estate man who returned
yesterday from trip 10 the north
ern part of the county on business.
He found much activity in that sec
tino. not only in oil locations but in
valley land as well.
Near Serves, Judge W. S. Mccall
has tied up large acreage which pro-
baby will be drilled on by New YORK
interests. In excavating gravel pit
two miles from Servoss recently, the
skeleton of a mastodon in an excel
lent state Of preservation was discov-
cred, six feet beneath the surface.
This, Mr.. Hubbell holds, would r.
flute the pet theory of many biologists
that the valley has been subjected
, N comparatively recent times to Sc
we're seismic disturbance.
At WILCOX. also, there is ccnsid-
erabie oil excitement and two dif.
ferent outfits are planning to drill
there. 1t is claimed by residents o:
the town that a railroad well in the
town which was drilled 700 feet AMI
for a time supplied water for domes.
tic purposes in the town had to be
, abandoned for everything except rail
! road use. The water was thoroughly
contaminated with oil, it was claim
ed. WILCOX appears to be On the
verge of a boom.
The Bowie oil excitement is gain
ing instead of dying down. The
United States OIL and Refining com
pany has an excellent showing of oil
in its well now down between 700
and 500 feet. A 14-inch standard rig
is being used to put down the hoe
and the slush from the well both
shows and smells of oil.
