Hopi Oil COmpany's
Drill Through PennsyI-
vania Formation
BY James O'Brien,
Asst. Secretary Holbrook Cham
Der of Commerce.

U0F Oh commerce.
Holbrook. March 6. A CON-
plete change in the formation
through which the drill of the
Hopi Oil Co.. is passing took
place Saturday afternoon, and
it is the belief of Sen. MayfeId
and Tom McCauley, the execu-
tive officers of the company, that
cross-bedded Coconino sandstone
of the Pennsylvania formation,
which is the caprock of this sec
ton, has at last been bottomed.
So complete is the change in the
formation that instead of. the
ringing sound which was for
merly made by the drill, there
is scarcely any sound now as it
drops.
If, as is believed, the Coconino
sandstone is completely gone
through Gnstead Of a soft place
in it having been found) it will
be welcome news for everyone
interested in this district. Ac-
cording to the geologists the
formation underlying the hard
caprock is so much softer that
from 25 to so feet per day can
easily be made which means
that the point where the pro-
ductive oil sands are said to lie
will soon be reached.
Considerable excitement was
created last week by a report
that the Hopi had struck gas in
big quantities. The report gain
ed credence not only in town,
but one or two outside papers
carried stories about it, though
the local papers and your cor
respondent investigated before
making mention. Investigation
proved that the Hopi had gone
through a small stratum of oil
sand, which contained some gas,
but not in sufficient quantities to
get excited about, as Senator
Mayfeld put it.
OF course any showing of oil
or gas is encouraging, but the
Importance of this find lies in
the fact that it was made within
10 feet Of where Prof. Chas. E.
Major, the company's geologist,
said it would be made.
Great interest is manifested
in the report oh the Holbrook
oil field. by Dorsey Hager, which
will be published on the 18th of
this month. Hager not only has
high reputation as a geologist
but he is one Of the most inter-
esting, t h oug h conservative
writer's on geology.

him giving Biever second and on
the same play made third when

Biever, who scored the seventh and
last run for Marysville. Steese and
Mower got out on a double play from
