ist represent the large balance of cit izenship in Arizona, second only to the mine in revenue and wealth. Only two per cent of the state land, or l. 500,G00 acres. can ever come under intensive cultivation. The rest, about 5,000,OO0 acres, is now under lease to the cattle grower. and the revenue from these leases amounts to something over $1Q0O,OOO. This money is in turn loaned out to the agriculturist, so you can see how your activities tie in with the sue cess and welfare of the other indus tries of the state.

 OIL LAND

HOLBROOK, Ariz. Feb S.-Among the oil men from the older fields who have come to Holbrook recently to lcok into the oil possibilities of this section is w. H. Hickey. of Shawnee, Okla. That he was satis- fled with what he saw and heard while in the field is evidenced by the fact that before leaving he tied up considerable land which he fig ures on developing.
 Hickey has operated in the OklahC- ma oil fields for a number of years and has also spent some time in the Ranger field. t is because he sees great similarity in the geological formation and surface indications i'll the Holbrook field, as compared with the Oklahoma and Ranger fields, that he decided to invest here. He was amazed at the big prices asked and obtained in the Ranger field and, while he does not pretend they are uniustified he wants to get in closer to the ground floor, as he did here. He says that with the development of oil Holbrook will go through the same experience as Ranger.
 Senator 5 c. Mayfield, president of the Hopi Oil company, has just re- turned after a hurried trip to his South Carolina home, where he was called to try an important law suit. On his way back he stopped over and made q careful examination of the Texas fields Of Brownwood Ran ser and Eastland.. The senator says the half has never been told Of the Texas fields, and, speaking of Brown wood in particular, he says, for all the world it is 8 duplicate. of the Hol- brook field with it's fumeroles and other indications of oil and gas"
 Senator Mayfield is again at the Hcpi well and will crowd work to the limit. Recent rain and snow storms have been of great benefit to him and the other oil operators, as they insure bountiful supply of water for some time to come. No stock in the Hopi Oil company has been sCld to the general public up to this time, practically the entire cost hay ing been borne by Senator Mayhejd himself.
 The last load of material for the standard drilling rig of the Holbrook Oil company was landed at the site of the well last Saturday. This site was selected by Prof. Major when he had practically the entire field to choose from. and it's possibilities are believed to be of the best. The management also announces that it has secured another rig which will shortly be placed on another section of their ground about four miles from town and near where the Ana

che Oil and Development company recently spudded in it's first well. From surface indications the terri tory in the vicinity of the Apache is considered most promising, and the Holbrook Oil company will help prove it up.
 The Adamana Oil company is still in the hard cap rock which extends from the surface to a depth of about foo feet, but the drillers are now making much better progress. While this hard cap rock is very hard on the bit and makes drilling quite slow, it is locked upon by the geologists with great favor. To them it carries assurance that it has sealed in what Cil and gas were ever in the ground while softer formation would have allowed it's escape. Col. Puffinburg the companys geologist, has written from his Oklahoma home that he will be in Holbrook for visit of inspec- tiOn as soon as he recovers from the flu and in the letter he feiterates hisc onfidence that oil will be struck in the well now being drilled.
