possibility that your efforts may re-

production of which will become an
important factor in the petroleum sup
ply of the United States"
Mr.. Majors conclusions of techni-
cal nature revealed carbOniferous, or
Pennsylvania formation, and enumer-
ated many favorable features on which
he based his strong endorsement OF
the field
Prof. A. B. Baird, who has spent
the last year in the Holbrook field,
and who is familiar with the area for
miles, says:
"The area which comprises the Hol-
brook field is the most inviting that
| have examined for years and | do
not know of an undeveloped field in
America that I would sooner recon-
mend than this one. All you need is
development and you have a second
Casper at your DOORS
Mr.. Baird has visited all the large
fields in America and in foreign cOun-
tries, his practical experience being
supplemented by his technical train
ing in Scotland.
DR.. A. A. Johnson formerly presi-
dent of the Wyoming State Univer-
sity and later instructor of geology at
Fort Worth College, Fort Worth, Tex,

opment and the same, practically done,
will bring forth satisfying results"

their own time and money to prospect
for the oil so many competent geo.
logical experts say is SO near at hand,
while others are selling stock to Sc
cure the necessary sinews of war to
carry on the drilling operations. Moth
ing ventured nothing gained, and if
these men succeed in discovering oil
in the field, they will not only make
themselves rich, but will be the great
est benefactors this section of the
country has even known or is likely
to become acquainted with.
Interest in the development of the
field is being greatly augmented by
the favorable competitive conditions
surrounding the activity of the com.
panies now drilling. More or less ri
valry is evident between these COM
panies in the attempt to be the first
to the oil sands.
Inquiries received from outside
places indicate the favorable and wide
spread interest manifested abroad in
the development of the field. Already
people from New York to California
and from Canada to Old Mexico have
holdings in the field and are kept in
touch with the situation by their
agents here.
This interest has been created by
the favorable reports of we'll known
geologists as have reported on this
field and the substantial standing of
the men who are backing the develop
ment efforts of the companies now at
work in the field. 1t is we'll known
The Snowflake herald., 1918-12-20

Johnson's standing is we'll worthy of
consideration, as he is a man whose
professional opinion carries with it
weight and conviction.
Dorsey Hager of Tulsa, Okla, ex-
amined the field for the Home Pro-
ducers company and, while his report
has not been made public, it is well
known that it is favorable and the
company has gone ahead and leased
all the acreage obtainable.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the famed
Arctic explorer and geologist of repu-
tation, after spending a few days in
the field, and after perusing Mr.. Ma
jor's report, said of the latter:
"It is a carefully written argument
in favor of the possibilities of the
field by careful and competent man,
and l can not see wherein he has in
any way become over enthused."
In addition to these endorsements,
such men as J. A. Puffenburg and
Arthur B. Eaton and others have
placed the stamp of their approval on
the territory now being developed
The not uncommon seepage of oil
into deep wells, and other indications
easily seen and understood by the av-
erage man, together with the indorse-
ment of such we'll known men, bear
out the hopes of the most optimistic
believer that oil will soon be found
in commercial quantities.
The Snowflake herald., 1918-12-20

that the men who have become inter
ested in the development are not Civ
ing their time and energy to PROPOSE
tions of doubtful merit and are not
stalking regulations on a losing game.
So strong is the opinion that a favor
able development of the field will
soon be made that the discussion one
hears on every hand is not "will they
get oil?" but chow soon do you think
they will strike it?" There is not
the least doubt in the minds of those
who are conversant with the indica-
tions and formations of the district
but that Holbrook is destined to pro-
duce a gusher field and that it will
become an important factor in the oil
supply of the nation.
The first geologist of repute to visit
the Holbrook field was Charles E.
Major, we'll known throughout the
southwest as a geologist and mining
engineer. An extract from his report
says:
'T believe the Holbrook area offers
as favorable possibilities, geologically,
for the production of petroleum as
were found in the San Juan, Utah.

San Juan field was withdrawn during
the administration of President Taft,

prospect for developing oil in quantity
as any of the pioneers in such well
known fields as Kansas and Okla

geological formation as the Holbrook
field. It is not beyond the range of

THE HoLBRooK OIL FIELD

Biologists and oil wise men galore
have made a thorough examination of
the Holbrook oil field. And after
having studied every feature they have
all said as of one accord that the geo.
logical formation is favorable for the
discovery of oil at no great depth
Many of our residents have had knowl-
edge of the oil indications for years
and now that the field is opening up
they have great faith in the future
outlook and are giving literally of
their means to help finance the COM
panies now drilling and preparing to
commence. OF course, there are
doubling Thomases who will never be
convinced until the field is finally
proven. There are always few who
hold back on every project, but with
respect to the Holbrook oil field
the local people as a whole are very
much enthused with the possibilities
Of an early development of great oil
district.
The companies now drilling for oil
are very much pleased with the favor
able formations they have gone
through already; they are more conf
dent of success now than ever before
and are making every effort to ex-
pedite the work. Some are spending

During the early history of the town
the people experienced considerable
difficulty in constructing an irriga-

months of the whole colony was swept
down the treacherous stream by the
turbulent flood waters. Finally after
about twelve years experience dam
was built at an enormous amount OF
labor that turned the stream from it's
course over a solid rock bluff that has
held fast The new scheme conquered
the river and no serious trouble has
heen experienced since An irrigation
system of seven miles of bitches that

day. 1t is difficult to overlook prOpO-
sition of this kind when evidence is
published from time to time of the
immense returns secured by some for
tunate investor from successful oil
development A recent article from
the Wyoming Oil World, republished
in this issue, is quite in point. In
this instance a man who had never
possessed as much as 5000 is suddenly
enriched with an income of $4,000 a
day, and profits of this size are not
at all uncommon, the majority of
which we never hear about.
OF course it is conceded that all
oil investments are not a success and
in some instances a cluster" is the
sum total of the results obtained, but
the percentage of unproductive holes
is being decreased to a rapid degree
by the scientific selection of ground
to be drilled. The investor who is
assured that the field in question has
reasonable prospects for the discov-

not of securing large returns from
his money owing to the careful selec-
ton of drilling ground. The cost of
operation is such that we'll intended
operators are very particular as to
their location and take every precau-
tion possible to avoid drilling in un-
productive ground.
Oil furnishes the greatest legiti-
mate get-rich-quick investment in
the history of this or any other age
and the immense profits to be made
on successful development of an un-
proven field is proving more and
more of an incentive to "get in on
the ground floor" as the possibilities
are realized.
Arizona is in the same position
practically as was Wyoming a few
years ago, when the latter state was
considered more of a joke in the oil
producing world than is Arizona to-
day, but now, in spite of adverse
conditions, reports, jeers and knocks,
Wyoming is making the entire world
sit up and take notice of its wonder
fully increasing oil production.
Colorado, always considered min
ing state, as has been Arizona, is
passing through the same evolutiOns
of the Wyoming field and the people
are considerably annoyed at the slow
progress made in development, un-
derestimating the difficulties of war
time financing Colorado is conceded
to have a wonderful future in the oil
world and Arizona has as good, if not
better, chances of making good.
The geologists of today, by making
a scientific study of natures work
ings, have eliminated a considerable
amount of chance in the drilling OF OIL
wells

business ability and are in a po-
