BIG BOOM PREDICTED

The coming year is indeed | fraught with possibilities foi | Arizona. The close of the wal sees other communities surfeit- ed with the profits of war sup plies, while Arizona has had : more difficult period than evel before, our energies being di- rected toward production and de velopment of the earth's prod Iucts to a greater extent than any other community.
 Undoubtedly there will be an lafter the war reaction which will try the patience of those who have already been retarded by adverse circumstances due to l the war. But it is not reasona- ble to expect that this reaction will be of any length of duration as the absolute demands of the country will force any attempted manipulation of predatory inter ests to short life. Then we may expect a greatly accelerated movement in the development of this state which the present sit uation has already started in a small measure.
 It is net unreasonable to ex- pect that during the coming year that development of mining and oil properties will be such as to create the greatest boom in the history of the country.
 Taking oil for an example, there is no question but that the absolute necessity for this com modity will force development which usually would take, in stead of one year, many years | of discouraging effort perhaps. The interest in the Holbrook Field is widespread and actu- ally has permeated to the re mote corners of the country, and development of this field is watched perhaps more keenly than any effort in oil develop ment heretofore. Great prog ress is being made in interesting sufficient capital to test the field in numerous places, and each day sees the already large army of interests augmented by more of substantial nature. There is none of the froth so of | ten apparent in the interest in undeveloped properties, but a good, substantial and confident movement which has progressed to such a stage that the largest l interest in the world are taking cognizance of the wonderful probabilities of the Holbrook Field. As we have before stat ed, the question is not "WiIl they get oil?' but How soon l do you think they will bring in the oiI?'' Confidence in the successful outcome of explora- tion is supreme and it seems to be merely a question of suffl- cient development.
 That this attitude is warrant ed is evident after reading the various reports of well known geologists of conservative repu- tation and a thorough digestion Of the reasons for their unani- nous endorsement. While it Is conceded the drill is the onl' SURE test, we are as sure of oil production in the Holbrook Field as it is possible to be from natures indications.
 This field has been in the mind of those conversant with oil structures for many, many years, and it was only the sud Iden realization of the importancs of this commodity brought by the world war conditions that started efficient and widespread activity.
 i Arizona, with it's wonderful resources, we believe is destined to take high rank in the oil pro ducing states, and Holbrook is
 apparently to be the capital o1 the new industry.
