THE HoLBRooK FIELD

Very few persons in Flagstaff are conversant with conditions now existing in the HoIbrook oil fields.
 In fact. even The Leader has only been cognizant of conditions in a cursory way. and was really surprised on learning of the vast interest taken by outside capi- talists in the exploitation of the field.
 Few persons there are indeed. not familiar with oil conditions. who fully appreciate the benefit and prestige a state and com munity derives when a new field is brought in.
 Words inadequateIy express the feelings of persons who at- tain sudden riches by the sale of lands, acquired by location leases or otherwise.
 - Read the history of TuIsa. Okla, Casper. Wyo.. Ranger. Tex. and others. which make AIaddin's lamp pale into insiR- nificance.
 Heretofore oil to the people of Arizona represented the letter X-but it is not so with others. Do not outsiders grasp oppOr- tunities existing in a state first of all? Surely you will find upon looking into the matter that HoI- brook is and has been for some time the center of attraction among oil experts as far east as New York.
 Strong interests from Okla homa. Wyoming. Texas, Penn sylyania. Kansas. and other states have either acquired or are trying to acquire leases in the HoIbrook field.
 The field has been passed fav- orably upon by such eminent geoIogists as Hagar. Eagan. Johnson. Pufinberg. Majors, ard divers others.
 For the enlightenment of those who do not understand geology. the following shows why oil in- dications are of the best at HoI- brook:
 First. we have Tura Trias. or more commonly known as con- glomerate; second Pennsylvania sands of carboniferous age. coal. gypsum, argilIacious shales of the Permian series, fumaroles and anticlinal crests, all of which are very pronounced in the Holbrook field.
 In looking into the situation further we were agreeably sur prised to learn Flagstaff people were not altogether in the dark regarding the possibilities of the Holbrook field.
 The Leader, at all times is will ing to give the news to it's pn- irons. will be only too glad to learn anything further regard ing the development of the states resources. Northern Arizona Leader.

Oil Companies Making
 Good Progress
Drilling Land Which Includes the FIanigan We'll Will Start in Few Days With
 Encouraging Prospects

J. A. Morrison who, with Bob Adams, recently secured a lease on the Flanigan tract southwest of town. arrived in Holbrook Monday with his family, rented a house and is now awaiting the arrival of the machinery. MT. Adams is expected within a few days. It is understood that ow- ing to the deep snow the plan to remove the rig from Mountainair. N. M.. has been abandoned and another rig will be substituted. The bringing in of two new rigs the first month of the year is certainly encouraging to those who are so vitalIy interested in the Holbrook field. and THE NEWS believes that at least two more wells will be under way before the first of March. Taking into consideration the conditions that have existed the last year the showing made at the close of 1918 is commendable in every way, and that the first six months of 1919 will see wonderful transformation in the Holbrook field there is no doubt.
 APACHE WILL RESUME WORK
 SOON
 P. J. Mcintyre of the Apache Oil company. is expected from the coast the latter part of the week. when work will at once be resumed, providing the weather permits. The Apache rig was the first in the field. and by those who are in a position to know. it is stated that upon Mr. Me Intyre's return work will be rushed as fast as possible. The location is close to town and has received very favorable com mendation from different geo. logists who are familiar with the field.
 HOPI WORKING
 
 Tom McCauley, of the Hopi Oil company, was in town Sun lay last after provisions and at to other business. Not withstanding the cold spell the aopi has not been forced to sus- pend operations. While pro gress has, been slow, however, work has been continuous, and with a moderation of climatic condition. and when the hard capping has been passed more headwly will be the result.

Lakeside Booster in Holbrook

A. W. Atherton came down from his home at Lakeside Mon- day and will remain for a month in Holbrook. The heavy snow that covers the ground at Lake side. and the accompanying cold weather. got on MT. Atherton's nerves, and he decided to try a lower altitude and warmer eli mate, and the best place he knew of is HoIbrook. Mir. Atherton organized a chamber of com merce in Lakeside a few months ago, and has now on the press a handsome illustrated booklet, de- seribing the various attractions of that region. The booklet will be ready for distribution about March 1.

ATTACK VALIDITY
|. OF REC|RCU|T|NG
ACT BEFORE COURT

Montgomery, November 1o.-%Spe-
iaL)-Attacks on the validity of the
judicial recircuittng bin passed by the
Legislature just before adjournment in
September were made In tho supreme
court by Judge N. d benson, repre-
senting Judge Lum Duke of>ths Lee
county circuit court. whose circuit was
abolished BY the law. No argument
was made in support of the law. How
ever. Lawrence e. Brown, assistant at
troney general informed the court
that the states legal department pro
posed to see that every person accused
of crime in Lee county was tried by a
tuted.
The contest came in the case OF Sal
lie Johnso VS.. Judge Duke. which seeks
of the supreme courv a writ Of prohi-
billion preventing Judge Duke from
trying her on a misdemeanor charge in
non-jury criminal cases for trial At
certain date, contending that the law
abolishfng the Lee circuit and making
no provision for hsln in the new
scheme Is unconstitutional. The wo-
man. who was represented in the su-
preme court by Judge w. b. Dickinson,
who made no argument contends that
Judge Duke has no judicial position
since the new act became operative.
Judge benson Offered two conten-
lions on which he based his belief
that the new law IL Unconstitutional.
The constitution says that no judgs
can be legislated out Of office during
the term for which he was elected h
also says that all judicial positions
created shall be filled by appointment
of the governor. the appointeoe 70

afterward. Judge benson set mp tbs
argument that the fact that the bill
makes no mention or retaining Judge
Duke. though II expressly abohahes
the Lee circuit and puts Lee In the
Fifth judicial circuit, renders the Law
invalid. In addition, he contends that
the bill creates new circuit oom-
posed OF Elmore. Autauga and Chiffon
