HOlbrOOk Oil Field

Oil men are claiming great things for the Holbrook oil field, and it is their belief that large wells will be the rule instead of the exception. The Great Holbrook Anti cline, so termed by recent visiting geologists, covers an are a greater tn a n tn e average in oil countries. It is known to extend at least 30 miles in length while it's width is yet problematical. Some of the fields in Penn sylvania, found in this form ation, yielded rich deposits

Contract for Oil We'll
 Practically Closed

The Holbrook Oil Con- pany has practically closed a contract with L. A. Clam pitt, a well known and suc- cessful oil-well contractor, for sinking a 2000-foot well on the company's property. It was decided to do the work through a contracting driller rather than to do it on company account because of the unknown character of the field and the further fact that the voluminous amount of business that has to be looked after will not permit the officials of the company to give the matter of drill ing their personal attention.

of oil from both syncline and anticline. Some oil is com ing from the syncline in the neighborhood of the town of Holbrook. Oil tests show the presence of good quantities of oil in the shallow sands exposed in canyons close to the crest of the structure. Wise heads among the oil fraternity are asking each other if the great Bradord, Pennsylvan- ia, field is to be duplicated in Holbrook, and it will not surprise them to find that it will.

Senator MayfeId,s Oil
 Rig Arrives this Week

George Hope, William May field, Walter 0. Hanson and A. 0. Mobley are back from Globe after seeing the rig for Senator Mayfeld's first we'll started on it's long journey to Holbrook. Some delay was caused for one reason or another. principally because of having to effect a change of gears and latterly be- cause of slight break in the machinery of the truck.
 Now that the machinery is we'll on it's way and is expected in here this week, every effort is being made to expedite rig building and construction of the camp for housing the men. Some menl were sent .to the ground last Tuesday with ins- tructions to establish camp and to break ground for the founda- tions of the derrick and machine ry. Walter Hanson and George Hope drove to Showlow the same day to supervise the cut ting of the rig timbers and to do all possible to speed up that work. Just as fast as the tim bers are cut they will be hauled to the we'll site where they will be taken in hand by the expert rig builders already arranged for and soon the first derrick in the Holbroook oil field will become a reality. The work of setting and lining up the machinery will proceed rapidly after the teams finish the work of hauling it from the Apache Railroad to the derrick. Not a moment is to be unnecessarily lost as it is Sena- tor Mayfield's ambition to be the the first man to reach the oil.
 While he expects lively competi- ton in this, and unquestionably he will not be disappointed in finding several worthy competi- tors in the field animated with the same ambition, he hopes to have a lead which the others may find difficult to overcome.

GeOIOgist Major Initiated Oil
 Development in Local Field

Little advance had been made
 as late as last January toward
 interesting capital for the de-
 velopment of the Holbrook oil field. It had been known for years that oil underlaid Hol-
 brook and the country to the southward, but the situation at the time mentioned had gone no
 farther than to hint that fact to a busy world. The first geolo- gist to give the district the be- nefit of careful examination for the sole purpose of deter mining it's prospective value as an oil field was Charles Edward For nearly two months he tramped the mesas. searched the canyons and tested in every way known to modern oil geolo- gy every indication that could give a clue that would direct him to the light of truth. His highly favorable report followed and to this report may be honestly attributed the present Following the pub lication of this report began the stream of geologists and oil men who have carried the name of Holbrook widely over the United States and have been instru- mental in bringing capital in here for development purposes. The movement is only at it's in- ception. Financial interests capable of doing magical feats are coming in to supplement the work of the men now getting their rigs on the ground. to the extent that it will not be sur prising to the initiated to see no less than ten rigs operating be- fore the summer has merged in- to fall.

First Standard Drilling Rig
 Reaches HOlbrOOk Field
Machinery Boring Hop Oil Company First Well Moved the Oil Fields Today. Two More Big Corporations Organized Operate the HoIbrook District Preliminary Amannements for Drilling Practically Completed by Other Companies

The drilling machinery for the Hopi Oil Company. Senator Mayfeld's corporation, arrived in Holbrook on the Sant ta Fe local, Wednesday morning and was at once transferred to the tracks of the Apache railroad company which will haul it to a convenient point on it's line whsre it must be transferred to wagons and trucks which will carry it to it's destination. The first we'll this company will sink will be on section 2l. township 15 north, range 19 east, at a point selected by Geologist Charles Edward Major, who made a geological-structural survey for Senator Mayfeld more than month ago and fol- lowed this with his report and recommendations.
 The Hopi Oil Company has three expert rig builders now in its employ and has sent to Cas- per, Wyoming, for a fourth man, so that once the lumber is on the ground no time will be lost in getting the derrick into the air and the machinery set and ready for 'spudding in" oper- ations.
 An ample water supply for drilling needs was discovered in a canyon only a short distance from the spot selected for the we'll and there is plenty of wood at hand for fuel.
 While no exact time can be set for the actual commence ment of drilling it can be stated that the officials of the company hope te have the drill dropping not later than the first of August.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM
 PETROLEUM

The oil fields in north central Oklahoma are yield ing a daily revenue of Seventy Five million dollars a day. This stupendous yield is from a section that only two years ago was not even suspected of holding a pool of oil. Fewer indica- tions for oil existed there than exist in the Holbrook oil field.
 A suspicion arose that oil was present by reason of a few seepages of gas. Act ing on this suspicion a test well was sunk and at a depth of a thousand feet a 90- barrel well was struck. Deeper drilling followed inn mediately and finally the great pool was located and from this field owners of the land are reaping a daily har- vest of an extent never dreamed of by oil men. This estimate is given by a reliable organ, the Wall Street Journal, and while it may be based on the value of the refined product the figure is difficult to grasp. i

Gas Found in We'll

A party of oil men com posed of Messrs. Snowgoose, Mcconnell, Turner, Paddock and MT. and Mrs. Jess Hulet spent last Sunday in the vi- cinity of Navajo experiment. ing with the gas that comes out of the ground in that neighborhood. A tub was placed in the water and al- lowed to remain for a few minutes when the gas pres sure was sufficient to raise the tub well up out of the water. The bottom of the tub was punctured and a match applied, which ignit- ed the escaping gas, the lat ter burning readily until the tub settled back into the water. The experimenters entertained themselves at this work for an hour or such a matter before turn ing homeward.

Apache Company Doing
 Preliminary Work

Preliminary operations, such as the construction of cabins for the accommodation of the workmen, dams for impounding rain water, and other work that must be done before actual work of drilling can commence, will soon be in swing on the pro- perty of the Apache Oil Company. The lumber that is to go into these buildings has been ordered from one of the sawmills near Show low and will be hauled to the we'll site without delay.
 P. J. Mcintyre, manager of the company, has not re- turned to town but is eX- pected in daily. It is under stood that the Corporation Commission has granted the Apache Oil Company permis- sion to sell stock.
