Field Notes

Conditions are unchanged at the
Hopi we'll. 1t still retains the dis
tinction of being the deepest we'll on
the field, although no operations dur
ing the past week. Senator May
field states that they will be operat-
ing again just as soon as certain
new machinery arrives, and other
matters are properly worked out.
1t is claimed that the Adamana
should reach an oil sand within the
next 100 to $50 feet. This being
based on the log of the Hopi we'll.
This same sand in the Hopi well was
more or less saturated with oil, and
from the Hopi, it is possible that the
sand may be producer where the
Adamana is drilling. Let us so hope.
The Holbrook Oil Company retains
the distinction of starting with the
largest hole on the field, Is inches
aid reduced to twelve and half in
ches and now 900 feet. Also retains
the distinction of making more foot
age for the time of operation than any
ether rig on the field. Prospects dc
look very encouraging.
We have not seen Manager McClos-
key the past week but reports from
the Black Canyon is that operations
are continuous, and good progress is
being made. 1t seems that the core
drill will prove a success, and in thai
case the western section will be
proven up by the Black Canyon Oil
Company.

OIL TALK
Progress and Prospects

A year ago today two light rigs
were drilling which made some foot
age before the first of the year. This
was the Hopi and Adamana which are
really the pioneer companies in the
field True the hard winter that fol-
lowed, and the fact that the COM
panies were not properly equipped,
very little progress was made from
January 1st till after April 1st, 1918.
The first six months experience
was indeed very valuable, and expen-
sive to the two operating companies,
and a good lesson was learned Early
spring and summer these companies
secured what additional machinery
was needed, secured more expert
enced help and drillers, and last but
not least constructed proper water
reservoirs, tanks and pipe lines for
water supply which is very impor-
tant factor here on the desert.
Since July 1st this year four rigs
have been installed, and by the use of
experience of the pioneer companies
all emergencies were taken care of
before beginning operations. Can
yons damned, proper reservoirs and
tanks for water proper equipped
Proper camp houses built SO that
same can be occupied summer and
winter, and no interruption account
winter weather.
There are now four standard rigs,
one star rig and one Okel core drill
on the field, and the seventh company
assured will erect standard rig
complete in every detail. The pro-
gress In making footage in any of the
operating companies is two to one
better what it was year ago.
We are informed that the negotia-
tions of the Aztec Petroleum Securi-
ties Co., The Hopi Securities Co., and
able indeed to insure, two if not three
outside companies to come in and
drill on this field. Not that we par
ticularly need them but the more
drilling on the field and the more
scattering the better the prospects in
general.
Now we have four rigs on the Anti
cline structure and the fifth assured,
one rig south and one rig north, and
1t Is reported that there will be fur
ther operation in the syncline near
the Little Colorado river.
The Jerome-Clarksdale fraternity
are showing unusual interest in our
Northern Navajo County field. Since
making their recent explorations and
personal Investigations of the indivi-
dual operating rigs, they decided to
protect their own interests and pre-
vious investments and to prove the
field with the least possible delay was
to select one company, that they con-
sidered in the best general condition,
the best equipment, largest hole, and
safest and best management They
have done so, are putting up their
own money, and have advertised with
three column ad in a daily paper,
soliciting support from the miners
and citizens of the community. There
is no doubt at all but what this new
association as organized can accom-
plish their aim.

coal fields, the miner is a Bolshevist,
red flag waver, anarchist, and gen
eral trouble maker which is an err
roneous impression, for the miner has
shown in times past and now that he
is nothing else than what other, real
americans are, 100 percent American,
pure and unadulterated patriot, with
no love for the red flag waver or
bomb throwing anarchist that so
many of the people love to picture
us. The public at large is never sur
prised to read of the half-filled dinner
pail made possible by the old scale
The press manages to evade such in
'cidents as these, and they are never
discussed at directors meetings, but
let Mr.. Miner go on strike to demand
an increase of wages to combat the
high cost of living and he finds him
self put in Emma Goldmans place
and in the same class as whole lot
Of trouble brewers we read about al
most every day.
Did any outsider ever consider just
how much expense miner has In
order to produce the coal he receives
such princly salary for? We do
not think it has ever been put by the
publicity committee of the operators
a part of their campaign against
Qnionism as these facts would quick
ly put their hopes glimmerig, there
fore, let us take look at facts in
this case and see whether or not the
case of the miner is just when he
asks for this increase.
The Miners Compensation.
Under the old scale, or contract,
the miner received $101 per ton for
coal dug. Owing to crowded condi-
tions of many of the mines it is neces-
5ary to limit the number of cars per
man. and in many cases as low as
three cars per man. Each pit car on
an average holds about 1,100 pounds
| cf coal, some are smaller, little
multiplication on the part of the
reader will show the gross daily earn

the total of the following which gives

Powder for blasting, per CANS 200
