RADIO STATION FOR
 NORTHERN ARIZONA

Granite mountain about 10 miles northwest o f Prescott, seems to be coming into it's own, and and according to well found ed reports this high elevation of over $500 feet will soon be utilized as a transmission of wireless messages. It was learned yesterday that a detail of the war department will soon be ordered to take station there and establish a camp, which is to he permanently maintained and operators familiar with this method of communication are to be assigned to duty there.
 One young man recently from overseas in the radio service is anticipating being called to duty at the new station.
 This decision seems to have been reached since the geodetic survey corps established a base on the peak and has been for over three weeks by the helio- graph and flash light methods earring on communication with many points in the state to sta tions on high elevations. An other desirable feature is the fact that there are no way sta tions between Granite mountain and the sea coast lines to molsst communication. all private wire less plants being closed through out the southwest since war was declared.
 If established this radio station will have a force of at least 25 men on duty continuously, and 8 wireless telephone service to Prescott will be maintained in consequence. To transport the huge tower and material to the peak will require a trail. pro- bably from the American ranch. while it was stated yesterday the outlay for radio construction will To approximately $20, GOO. - Prescott Journal Miner.

THE GREATEST THING IN LIFE

It is a remarkable battle scene. No printed words can adequately describe this curtain of fire under the protection of which our Tank boys have repeatedly marched into the Hun trenches. You can see the heavy smoke clouds sweeping forward as though by the force of some unseen giant hand moving steadily toward the enemy trenches on a hill crest. You can see the shells exploding. It is so vivid that you can almost hear the crash.
 Through the curtain of cloud a bombing aeroplane takes it's perilous flight; now darting like an angry wasp through the smoke and reek of the battle. just about the trenches. At the Pastime Theatre, ''the coolest spot in town," Wednesday evening, July 3Oth. Prices 25 and 50cts.

JAMES SCOTT BUYS CARLOAD
 REGISTERED HEREFORD BULLS

James Scott, cattle and sheep man of Pinedale, has just received at Holbrook the only carload of registered Hereford bulls in this part of the country. Some idea of the size of these bulls may be obtained when it is real ized that only 29 could be loaded in the car. MT. Scott o bta i n ed these bulls at Larned, Kansas, selecting only two-year-old stock. They were unloaded at Hol- brook Wednesday night and after a daysrest will be taken to Snowflake, where they will be met by the ranch fore man and taken to the Scott ranch.
 The entire shipment was selected by MT. Scott for length of body and large boned frames. One big fel- low in particular would be a prize winner anywhere, and Mir. Scott had difficulty in obtaining this animal as the former owner expected to enter him in the Kansas City cattle show.

SEARCHERS COMB HILLS
 FOR LOST PROSPECTOR

Lost in the hills near Heber since Monday last, grave fears are felts as to the safety of an old pros pector n am e d McComas. Starting out with a young man from camp, the two journed several miles, and according to the youth, the old man was unable to go further, agreeing to remain while his younger companion secured assistance. It is evident that the old prospec- tor attempted to find his way alone through the fast ness, it being reported that years ago he had located a promising property. T h e continued absence of the old man, and the impossibility of locating him led to the theory that he had become lost and word was immed- lately flashed to Holbrook from which point some 50 or 60 men made a fast trip in autos to the nearest point and then were furnished horses with which to start the hunt.
 The search is being made under direction of Frank Campbell and Supt. of For est Supervisors Hoyt. Se- veral of the party who went out from Holbrook to lend assistance in the search were compelled to return l a st night owning to the lack of horses, there being only about half enough for the searching party.
 The country being search ed in very hilly with numer- ous ravines and considerable timber. The old man is said to have been armed with a rifle and it is known he had matches, so there are some who are optomistic in the be- lief that he has been able to subsist for the past five dayst

LOCATIONS COVER THE
 FIELD

It has come to our atten-
 ton that in several cases
 operators" are trying to,
 and actually inducing Gin
 vestors" to club together at
 this late date to secure loca-
 tions in the Holbrook oil field at so much per locate. To those who are conversant with the structure and pos abilities of the Holbrook oil field it is we'll known that nearly, if not all of the lands in Navajo county which have, by the greatest stretch of imagination, any relation to the endorsed oil structure of the field, have long ago been located and recorded.
 Those who are prompted, by ouI old friend avarice, to go into these schemes, should be thoroughly acquainted with the one who "gets up the party" and should know whether or not the locations are being made as a means to acquire for those who put up the cash a real interest in prospective oil land, or whether the locator is work ing purely and simply for a grub stake for his personal use. There are more than 4000 locations recorded in the books of the County Re corder of Navajo county, and some of these records, we are informed, have been found faulty inasmuch as they have been madein Apache county, Coconino county or the Apache or Navajo Indian re- servations, such as has been the interruptions methods of some locators.
 To those who intend "club- ping" for locations, we would say, look we'll to the man who makes the suggestion; realizet that the lands thought possible oil producing land in respect to the endorsed Hol- brook field have been pretty thoroughly located and that locations at this late date might possibly as well be made in Yavapai county, and are not likely to be made with reference to the recog- nized probable oil producing area of the Holbrook oil field. It is true that other sections and areas, might, upon pro- per examination, or develop be found as favorable to oil production as the Hol- brook area, but such lands should not be located or ex- plotted on the strength of the endorsement of the Hol- brook oil field, but upon their own merits, if any they have, with reference to the new area so located.

CORPORATION COMMIS- SION RULING SHOULD
 BE CHANGED


 mulgated by the Corporation Commission of Arizona, linn iting all permits of invest ment companies to sell stock to July 1st of each year, and requiring annual reports and applications for renewal of permits at the same time, it becomes apparent that this regulation inits present form is neither wise nor just.
 Development companies depending upon the sale of stock for financing are great ly handicapped by reason of the fact that in most in- stances they are in full swing of a campaign at the time their permit expires and must perforce cease opera tions and stock sales until the Commission passes upon the application for renewal, which usually takes from one to four weeks for action. The renewal of these per mits is based to a great ex- tent, if not altogether on the showing made in the annual report which is required to include business up to July 1st., (the date on which the permit expires), and very few companies are in a posi- ton to get this report in to the hands of the Corporation Commission before six or seven days of the new month have elapsed; after these re- ports are received, it is nec- essary that they go through the routine provided and they are inspected and discussed by the commissioners and the renewal may be expected anywhere from the 20th of the month to the 1st of August, according to the press of business in the off, fees of the commissioners. In this case development and investment companies are re- quired to cease any effort and to stop any campaign that may be in swing or contem- plated, and the fresh start must be made with a new impetus. It is not difficult to see the injustice of this arrangement.
 Without being conversant with any good reason why it could not be done, we would suggest for the consideration of the Corporation Commis- sion of this State, that all permits be made effective until August first of each year, and that annual reports and applications for renewal should be filed up to and on July first as now required. In this event, there would be no necessity for cessation of operations or campaigns, for the permit, ifrenewed, would be effective by the time the old permit expired and if there should be occasion for revocation, permits could be cancelled as easily by failure to renew on August first as 8 month earlier, when stock selling companies now have to mark time until the com mission finds time to act up- on applications.

 care, is a very limited DOT tion of the whole. The sur face of the earth as known to the geologist, or that DOT tion respecting which he has considerable knowledge, may extend from daylight to se- veral miles in depth, certain ly far beyong human means of penetrating with shafts or boreholes.
 It is the study of these buried formations and the minerals that they contain, the geologist becomes es- pecially useful to industry.
 The geologist is not in- fallible, he is not working with an exact science or with one whose factors are all known. The most that he can do is to guide, to reduce the amount of useless risk and increase the amount of profitable work. Not only in oil, but in the mining of almost every kind of mineral of economic importance geo. logical knowledge may be used to advantage. Denver Mining 6 Financial Record. ]
 Geology a nd geologists have come in, of recent years, to more nearly the status in public opinion to which they are entitled. It is an old saying that a geo. Iogist ''can't look into the ground any further than you can", and this argument is used by t he professional pessirnist, or the man who has an axe to grind concern ing any endorsed area of de- velopment. The study and application of geology to oil well drilling has reduced the number of dry holes drilled in any given field, and has prevented the useless waste of money in exploring barren territory.
 The study of geology has become one of the important sciences and it is either 8 fool or an imbecile who will argue that there is nothing in geo. logical examinations. Be- cause one geologist will en- dorse one area and another geologist will endorse an- other, is no an argument as to the failability of either. Doctors disagree Lawyers disagree; contractors d is- agree and mining engineers disagree, and still in none of these instances is it claimed that either the one or the other are inefficient.
 The geological endorse ment of the Holbrook Oil Field has been such that it has justly caused a feeling of the utmost optomism and t h e greatest confidence among those who are inter ested in its development. So far as our knowledge may go, we do not know of a single geologist of repute who has not been favorably impressed with the possibili- ties for large oil production in this field, and some of the men who have made favor able reports are employed by large oil interests who con- clude that they are getting their moneys worth by the 1ox,,~o1,,& 0g kL11o -,oo,,.

Field Notes

S%@%@&A~%%%%%~@&*%@%%%4s-...,& :
 The following are answers to questions most frequently asked concerning the Hol- brook oil field:
 Number of rigs in field Five.
 Companies represented in drillin g operations -Hol- brook Oil company, Adam ana Oil 6 Land company, Hopi Oil company, Wind River Producing & Refining company, Apache Oil com pany, and the Black Canyon Syndicate.
 Greatest depth to date Reported l, 500 feet; not yer flied.
 Distance of drilling opera tions from Holbrook-12 to 27 miles.
 Formation of Field-Of the carboniferous age. En- dorsed by many reputable geologists as probable oil producing.
 Depth considered neces- sary for oil production Vari- ously estimated at from 2, 900 feet to 5000 feet, with 2, 500 as a good average.
 The HoIbrook Oil Com pany is practically in the same position as last week, with the exception that transportation of the needed equipment has brought re- sumption of activity closer at least. The road is being  put in shape during the in- terim, between the rig and the immense tank of water about two miles from camp.
 The Black Canyon Syndi- cate, operating on the Ow- ens- Richards Lease, is con- tinuing operations with one shift at present and Supt. McCloskey reports encourag- ing headway being made through the hard sandstone.
 Considerable difficulty was experienced in the repair of the crank shaft, the break ing of which compelled The Adamana Oil Company to cease operations for several days. In the past day or two, however, repairs have been made and work re- sumed by Supt. Carl with two towers and it is antici- pated the hard luck jinx has been left behind, although the breaking of the walking beam a short time ago caused hardly any delay, Manager Hennessy having it replaced in short order.
