Leases on 5,000 Acres of Land Signed by Yuma Man. Drilling for oil will be started in Cochise county within the next ninety days, according to word brought to Tombstone to day by A. EL Harkey, of Mescal Gap, who is on the jury, says tbe Tombstone Prospector, dated August 29. Mr. Harkey states that within the past week a company repre sented by a man named Mitchell from Ynma has signed up sev eral landholders representing an acreage of 5055 acres of patent ed and state leased land, and will begin drilling within 90 days, according to the terms of the agreement. Harkey Brothers, Lee and A. H. Harkey, S. N. Gordon and Dan Mathes, with holdings on the" Cochise side of the line, have signed up with the company and an expert oil man and driller named Venningmark, of Yuma, will move a standard rig to tbe field at once, Mr. Harkey stated, to start the test well. Numerous geologists have vis ited the field of late, be says, and practically all agree that tbe Mescal Gap district is the most favorable for oil prospect ing, with indication that it will be struck from 2300 to 2500 feet. The company agrees to go down 2500 feet and further if indica tions warrant, should oil not be found at that depth. The well is to be located by a competent geologist, according to the lease agreements, and the owners of the land are to get one eighth of the production should oil in paying quantities be struck. Tbe site of tbe proposed well will be about 20 miles from Tombstone. - WANT RED CROSS NURSES. The Red Cross Nursing Ser vice is making an active cam paign throughout the United States to secure 500 nurses im mediately to care for ex service men in hospitals. Miss Lillian L. White, director of the Nurs ing Service in the Pacifie divis ion of the American Red Cross, is calling for seventy five enlist ments in her territory, California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. This urgent call for immediate enlistment of Red Cross nurses in this special service is parallel to that of tbe wartime call when the army and navy turned to tbe Red Cross for nurses for military service both at home and abroad The call carries an emotional appeal when it is known that hospitalization of disabled vet erans of the World War is in creasing. Tbe government thru its United States public health service designates tbe need for more nurses as an emergency and tbe Red Cross is putting the full strength of its nursing ser vice into action to meet it. Miss White has sent the call to nurses through the state and local committees and to individ ual nurses in the Red Cross re serves. Details of the proced ure in enlisting for this special service in the United States Pub lic Health Service hospitals were furnished, together with a sched ule of pay for the nurses enlist ing. The 70 United States Public Health Service hospitals are not sufficient to meet the demand. Tbe army and navy hospitals are setting aside beds for the ex service men. Nurses enlisting may choose which service they prefer. Any nurse interested in get ting into this field for service to the ex service man can communi cate with tbe Red Cross Chapter or the nearest local committee on Red Cross Nursing Service for the details of enlistment.

He is extensively inter ested in mining properties in this and the Harsbaw districts. A. S. Henderson.

Reports reaching the office of The Patagonia are to tbe effect that recent development on tbe Andes Mine, owned by Col. R. R. Richardson, has proven up another large ore body. It is said by those familiar with the Andes that future developments will uncover more extensive ore bodies, and of such magnitude as to outrival those already un covered on the famous Three R property which was recently purchased by Magma Copper Company from Col. Richardson. According to reports the grass in some sections of Arizona have made a "remarkable change in a few weeks from parched desert and mountain sides to tbe best pasture in years." The reports state that such a change "to those unacquainted with tbe grasses of tbe extreme southwest seems miraculous."

Grass is now abundant everywhere and cattle are getting in excellent condi tion. HAIL AT FAIRBANK. Jeff Milton, U.

PINK-EYE REPORTED Phoenix, Aug. Dr. R. J. Hight, state veterinarian, yes terday was informed of tbe pre valence of a disease in the Pata gonia district which had render ed a large number of cattle blind. Though the symptoms were not given, the doctor is inclined to believe that the ailment is pink eye or karatitis. Pink eye, said Dr. Hight, is quite prevalent throughout tbe state. It is not a serious disease if given attention by the applica tion of local washes. It is not fatal if it runs its course. Tbe animal goes blind, but a blind animal on the range soon be comes a dead animal. Tbe disease is much more fre quent among young animals than older ones and is more prevalent in the summer than in other seasons because, probably, tbe ilies are then the more active carriers of the infection. The doctor bas advised all who have written him concerning the disease and offered to prescribe treatment.
