LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
VERDE PIONEER'S FUNERAL
More than a hundred people, at
least half of them relatives, attended
the funeral of John Wingfield, held
Tuesday afternoon at Camp Verde.
A number of friends of the deceased
traveled by automobile from Cherry
Creek and Prescott to pay their last
respects.
The funeral was held at tho Metho
dist church in Camp Verde, the local
minister officiating. Interment was
made in the Clear Creek cemetery.
John Wingfield was born in Vir
ginia 88 years ago last October. In
1852 he went to California and some
45 years ago first saw the Verde val
ley. After a few years he returned
to California but about 1853 he took
up his residence with his brother,
Henry, near Camp Verde. There he
lived until the day of his death. Ho
was never married.
His nephew, James Wingfield, of
Jerome, cannot recall that, after
1883, he was ever out of the Verde
valley.
The nearest surviving relatives of
the deceased are his brothers, Wil
liam and Henry, both Verde valley pi
oneers. Jerome News.
MAY ESTABLISH A 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 aro
looking over the country and seeing
where ocatillas can be found in com
mercjal 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 ar greaj
many ocatillas, Wickcnburg 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. Wickcnburg Miner.
$7,000 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 $6,000 and $7,000. 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

RETURNS FROM OIL FIELDS.
Judge J. P. Ryan, of Chloride, re
turned this week from a 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 $8000 with which
to sink the first test well, and have
entered into a contract with a 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 a month.
The v,hole country from the petri
fied forest to the line of the Navajo
reservation has been covered by loca
tions, and companies arc 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. Kingman
Miner.
MOHAVE COUNTY IS
AMONG THE BIG ONES
The report of the county for the

Hart, is given at $515,428.39. This
shows some speed over the years gone
by when only about $30,000 for all
purposes was collected, and when the
total county taxes only amounted to
about $14,000. Kingman Miner.

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.
When he noticed that the lid was
tighe he reached with a poker to
remove it, but as he did so, it seems
the lid blew off, the escaping steam
seriously burning Sylvester's face.
Immediate medical assistance was had
and it was found that that the skin
was all burned off of Mr. Sylvester's
forehead, and the rest of his face
badly blistered. Williams News.
