Phoenix Paper Gives Big Write-Up Of Navajo
County Advertising Car.---Meets An
OIdFriend in That Man Lore

Below is given a portion of an
article from a recent issue of
the Arizona Gazette. Phoenix,
in which it shows that Navajo
county's advertising car Us 'on
the job"
The citizens of Phoenix have
again had the pleasure of a visit
from their old friend and unique
advertiser, H. D. Lore, who
heretofore has had the credit of
being one of Arizona's best
boosters, having brought to the
attention of the citizens of Ari-
zona's neighboring states, and
the citizens of other states as
far east as New York, Arizona's
prospective wealth.
Lore is not advertising cot
ton, copper, gold or silver, nor
is he on another reclamation
project, for these have all came
to pass. He, accompanied by
Frank L. Lawrence, of Holbrook,
Arizona, is out this time with
the most beautifully decorated
automobile that has ever ap-
peared on the streets of Phoe-
nix. On their way through the
states of Arizona, New Mexico,
Texas, and possibly other states
of the southwest. interesting our
own citizens, as we'll as those of
other states, in what may be an
Arizona oil field, therefore add
ing another developed resource
t o Arizona's mineral wealth.
These men state that it, is posi-
BILE, if geological reports are cor
rect. for .Holbrook to become the
largest oil producing oil area in
the United States.
At the present time there are
as many as ten organized COM
panies, four standing rigs, two
of which, the Hopi and Adam
ana, are drilling continuously.
The Holbrook Oil company is
about ready to commence drill
ing and may have by this time
spudded in. The Apache COM
pany spudded in last fall, but
have been handicapped some
what in gaining depth, but from
present indications, they will
soon be drilling along with the
Hopi and Adamana.
Through constant advertis-
ing, by the progressive citizens
Of Navajo county, attention has
been called to the Holbrook Oil
Field and men experienced in
the oil game have succeeded in
tying up not only thousands, but
hundreds of thousands of acres
of oil lands and the interest has
become so intense that it might
be said that the oil world has its
eye on Holbrook. Owing to this
fact, the state of Arizona has SO
far benefited through its state
land department, by leasing its

state lands in Navajo county to
prospective oil operators, many
thousands of dollars.
''The most gratifying stamp of
approval on the Holbrook dis
trict, was the entrance of the
Wind River Producing & Refining
company of Wyoming into the
Holbrook field. after their geolo-
gist, Beeler, had spent many
weeks investigating the possi-
bilities of the field. This COM
pany has already invested many
thousands of dollars in casing,
machinery and tools in addition
to securing a lease on about 3d.
600 acres of land scattered thru
out the district. 1t is we'll to
state at this time the Wind
River company is drilling the
Hopi we'll.
"The beautifully decorated
car has been for the past week
the talk and admiration of Phoe-
nix citizens, and maps, geologi-
cal surveys and geological re-
ports could be seen most any
hour, day or night, spread out
on the sidewalks, cigar counters
and in hotel lobbies, and Lore
and Lawrence in the midst of
the crowds explaining to them
in detail, anticlines, structures
and formations that are shown
by the maps to exist in the Hol-
brook field and they have never
failed as yet to invite their lis
teners to see for themselves by
attending the Navajo county
fair at Snowflake which is near
the Holbrook oil field.
Yesterday afternoon the occu-
pants of the car on behalf of the
Snowflake Chamber Of Com
merce and the Navjao Club, to
Governor Campbell, invitations
addressed to himself and staff
to attend the Navajo county fair
in October. The governor heart
lily accepted the invitations and
after viewing the handsome car
sent out by the citizens of Nav
jo county, bade the pilots God
speed on the balance of their
trip telling them that they could
do nothing else but accomplish
great results on a trip of this
kind and that he would be at the
fair without fail.

thusiaStlc pair OF pilots IN MeSSrs

succeed in interesting the citi-
zens of other cities as they have
interested the people of Phoenix

flied by their earnest endeavors.

Chief Tax Statistican Issues
Statement on New Law.

lstlclan OF the State Board of
Equalization, makes the follow
ing statement relative to what
the new tax law has uncovered
in counties in East Tennessee:
If anyone has believed the
misrepresentation, Industrious
ly and assiduously circulated to
the effect that the assessment
laws passed by the last legisla-
ture were directed alone at the
farmer, the work which we. are
doing and the results which we
are accomplishing in bringing to
light the untaxed and the under
taxed corporate wealth of Ten
nessee, is surely sufficient to
show that such reports are false
and misleading and that those
who are circulating them are
insincere.
have just received the COM
pleted proof taken in an East
Tennessee County, and it shows
the following astounding situa-
ton
The entire County was assess
ed in 1918 at 1892, 100000. The
proof which we have just COM
pleted, shows the property of
the County to be worth 81, 1884,
1897. 90. This is an increase in
the entire County of Sc, 852, 337,-
90. Of this increase, IS, 034, 149.
90 represents the increase on
coal lands belonging to five cor
porations, We found in this
County 6S, 525 acres of coal land
belonging to corporations assess
ed at $242 '935, 90, The value of
this land, as shown by competent
expert testimony is S., 2T, ll3. 90.
This valuation was established
by taking the dispositions of min
ing experts who testify from en-
gineering data based on their
knowledge of coal deposits on
this land. These coal properties
were assessed in 1918 at about A
percent of their value, while
the farm lands in this same coun
ty>and the small homes, were
assessed at more than 40 percent
which means that the farmer
and the small home owner in
that County are paying ten times
as much tax on the same amount
of property as these coal corpor-
atoms are paying. This is not
only true of the farmers and
small home owners in that Coun-
ry, but the average farmer and
the average home owner through
out Tennessee, is paying from
six to eight times as much taxes
on the same amount of property
as these coal corporations are
paying. The ,property belong
ing to these corporations repre-
sents about two-thirds of the
wealth of the entire County,
with an assessment against them
of a percent of their value. The
property belonging to these cor
porations in this county is worth
more than the entire assessment
in that Counts. combined with
the assessment against Scott,
Unicoi, Union and Rhea.
1t is worth more than the en-
tire assessment of Meigs, John
son, James and Hancock,
1t is worth more than the en-
tire assessment against Bledsoe,
Carter, Granger and Sequachie.
1t is worth more than the en-
tire assessment against 1rous-
dale. Jackson and Lewis.
1t is worth more than the en-.
tire assessment against Jackson.
