Much has been written of late
 regarding the necessity of in
 creased oil production, and the
 statistics given are, in themselves,
 important only as a summary of
 the whole. Summarized, we find
 that the reserve stock of crude oil is being rapidly depleted and
 i'll spite of the large producing oil area in the United States, the
 oil fields of Mexico, the future access to which is based on rath- CT an unstable foundation, must
 be drawn upon for some 15O,OOO.- 900 barrels. We find that the in
 creasing use of oil and it's by products will make Necessary an added production of some 3O,- 100000 barrels to take care of the
 demand for the ensuing year,
 making grand total consump- ton of nearly 40O,O0O,O00 barrels. Few realize tkat the refined pro ducts of 1917 exceeded by S1,- 000,000,000 the conutry's com bined production of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, from which in dollars and cents, one may perhaps obtain a more compre- hensive idea of the magnitude of this industry.
 
 With the steadily increasing demand for oil the production of some of the older fields of this country Is as steadily decreasing. In California alone the visible supply has decreased some 15,- a0o.000 barrels in a comparatively short time i1r spire of continued development. From another angle one may discern the growing i'm portance of oil when it is realized that in 1912 California oil was selling for 30 cents barrel and the same grade today is quoted at SIPS. Bringing the oil short age home with some conviction is the recent Government order for 'gasless Sundays" very potent indication of the necessity for increased production.
 All the activities of war, as well as of peace, are dependent lpon oil in its different forms and by-products.

 line it has been necessary to

 middle of the week when the drive-shaft on the truck wrench ed itself, necessitating its being taken out of servi,e during that reriod. In the well itself, good progress is being made. The drill has entered the white sand stone and from now until thIs formation has been passed slightly slower progress will be made.
 At the Hopi Oil Co.'S we'll the usual activity prevails. The large new drilling cable and extra bits ordered from the coast nearly ten days ago have not yet reached Holbrook. al- though expected daily. Until the new cable arrives and is placed in commission no attempt at rapid drilling is to be made. The present cable is only a seven eighths affair and the rough us- age to which it would be subjec- ed if the machinery were speed ed up might work havoc and cause a loss instead of a gain. Realizing this, the management has elected toremain on the safe s de, even though less footage is gained. The drill is being run only during daylight hours. but will be pressed into service every hour, day and night. once the new cable and bit are on the ground The water system is working perfectly and this phase Of tti1e business Is no longer caus- ing any concern.
 P. J. Mcintyre. manager of the Apache Oil Company, IS back | in Holbrook after an absence of | several weeks. He states that in very short time he will have tfe affairs of the Apache Oil Company in shape so that active work may be commenced, and says further that 1t will not be long before drills will be falling.
