HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Saturday the Hol- brook Cadet company began it's series of competition practice in sharpshooting. Wesley Newman was first with a perfect score of 25; Burton Richards, second, q; Louis Divelbess, third, IS. and Frank Johnson, fourth, .17. The proficiency of the cadets in the initial practice is remarkable, and with the improvement made by prac- tice they should give other companies in the state a strong argument for first honors. Another shoot will take place this Saturday.
 The Cadet company will shortly get their uniforms now, and certain supplies, such as target rifles, bay onets and shelter tents, which will be issued by the state.
 Great interest is being taken in tennis by the stud ents. The champions among the girls are the midget team"- Minnie Wallace and Goldie Greer. The boys are so evenly that it is impossible so far to tell just who is leading. Burton Rich ards, Harold Divelbess, Ed Woods and Frank Johnson are playing a strong game. Mildred Richards is president of the Tennis Club.
 School athletics have been somewhat handicapped by the illness of ArnoldLee and Elmer Carroll, both strong baseball players.
 Miss Palmer had charge of the High school exhibits at Snowflake and Succeeded in making a splendid ex- hibit for this school.
 The latest addition to the faculty, Miss Marion Doll man, is now nearly two. weeks old.

BIG SANTTARIUM TO BE
 BUILT ON LONG H RANCH

The latest discovery ir
 Apache county is not oil, but
 a sure enough health resort
 that will soon become famous if present plans materialize, and they must, because the resort is a veritable fountain of youth, so Denver chemists and health specialists say. The place is the salt lake on the Long H ranch, the home of the Tucker Livestock con- pany, of which MT. w. A. Saunders is manager. Some of the members of the com- pany are Denver capitalists and through them samples of the water were introduced among Denver medicos, who have thoroughly tested it and claim that it contains curative properties that are unequalled for most any old disease. internal or external. MT. Saunders says he has known for a long time that the water was regarded as valuable for health treat ment, but not until recently did the intention of building a sanitarium become known. There are now two special ists in chemistry on the ranch, Messrs. P. K. Roberts and "Ted" Harper of Den- yer. and they are having the lake fenced and a location cleared for building a large sanitarium, work on which will be started in the near future. The salt lake is about 15Oyards long, 50 or 75 yards wide and very deep. It is located 25 miles north of St. Johns. The Observer.

Conditions, however, are much the same as last week, four companies actually drilling and a fifth and sixth in immediate pros pect of operation, and this in itself is excellent news. We have the further ex- pressed desire of the Allen Oil company to enter the field, as in their opinion, the chances are very favorable. Coming from conservative sources, this is of consider able weight.

@e VI @ ASASSOAg OOAS-OAA' of the Allen Oil Company, arrived in Holbrook Wednes- day to enter into negotiations for acreage in the Holbrook Oil Field. Mir. Ritter has been in the field previously, his last visit being made in company with Ere d A. Craise, the Allen Company geologist, at which time an examination of the field was undertaken by MT. Craise, who reported favorably as to the prospects of obtaining production here.
 It has been previously an- nounced that Allen Oil Com pany was very much inclined to enter this field and as the entry of this company will be of great importance in the proper exploration of the structure, the activities of Mir. Ritter, following the visit of the compamy's Secre- tary Frank Woolsey, who spent some two weeks here the first of the month, is of prime interest to those who are already identified with the development of the field.
 In an interview granted the editor of the NEWS yes terday, Mir. Ritter said:
 "We consider the Holbrook Field a very promising pro- spect. We are now negoti- ating for acreage on which to drill a test we'll. What impresses me is that you un- doubtedly have an immense structure, capable of support ing large development if oil is found, but of course the drill is the only definite proof of the existence of oil in com mercial quantities, and we. are willing to drill and con sider the chances favorable. The report o f Geologist Major on this field is very convieneing and has done much to influence us in favor of the field.
 You may say that it is the intention of the Allen Oil Company to come in and put down a test well, provided thenegotiations we are carry ing on result satisfactorily as to securing acreage we de- sire. You now have four wells going down in various portions of the field and we intend to drill in still another section, as yet not under de- velopment. Out of these tests a productive we'll should result if oil is here. Our en- tering the field is, of course, contingent upon the favor able conclusion of negotia- tions now in progress.
 Oil men throughout the country generally, are taking cognizance of Holbrook and are watching developments, as is evidenced by the pre- sence here of the Sinclair Oil Company representative and our own interest. Truthful publicity is and will be a great help to your field, as exaggerated reportsare very harmful and have a tendency to sap an interest already aroused. Reliable publicity, I understand, is the policy of vo11r nanor and cannot.

FIELD NOTES

pany's well, drilling is in a very dark blue shale, which contains traces of oil, being a very encouraging indica- tion and it is the opinion of the management that the present drilling is in cap rock as the going is very difficult, the formation indicative and the oil showing encouraging. Tours are being run at this well as usual. Frequent visitors to the we'll return with the conviction that the indications and probabilities are such as to warrant the most active interest and the confidence in the field aI- ready felt, is being appreci- ably accelerated by the show ing being made at this we'll.
 The Hopi- Wind River we'll is running tours as usual and the indications already en- countered are said to be more than encouraging. Another water strata has been drilled through and it was necessary to underream again in order to case this water off with the present string of casing. A new steel bull wheel has arrived and will be taken to the well immediately. The drilling at present is in a hard capping, thought to be the red wall, under which the oil is to be expected, and much interest is manifest in the continued progress of the drilling. This formation is estimated variously, as from 600 to 1000 feet in thickness. It will not be long, at the rate of progress Supt. Clos ser has been making, until the drill will prove up this we'll, and the indications to date warrant considerable optomism as to the result of this exploration.
 Drilling at the HOlbrook Oil Co. well is still in Coco nino sandstone, the depth of this formation already pen-H etrated at this well being over 100 feet greater in thickness than heretofore en- countered in other wells in the field. The big rig is' working every day and Dad Hastings is making excep- tionally good progress con sidering the nature of the drilling. Visitors to the we'll during the week includ- ed J. Bernard Macdonald of Jerome, a heavy stockholder in the company. Mir. Mac Donald expressed himself as more than pleased with the efficient rig and the progress being made.
 A resume of activities in
  the field during the past week shows nothing of a startling nature, although the general activity and con tinuous work is making ex- cellent progress toward the ultimate test of the field. | As we have before remarked, l in the drilling of an oil well, l there are very few occasions for thrills until the actual encounter with the oil bear ing sands. We have, howe ever, occasion to be very op- | tomistic before that point 1 h11 Lo1,, ,.oo oL1I 4l~.o,,orI, |

Ex-Kaiser Plans For
Flight if Allies Make
Demand For His Trial

Amcronsen, Dec. (delayed) -
Should the Allies decide to forcloly
attempt the removal of the former
Kaiser from Holland, he will try a
dash into Germany, was the bellef
expressed in Dutch circles to-day. II
is known Wilhelm will make every
effort to prevent his proposed trial
by an allied tribunal.
The Amsterdam Telegraaf, deny
ing Monarchist rumors, said 1t had
learned authoritatively there were
no secret relations between the for
mer Kaiser and the German Lega-
ton.
The entire situation has proved
embarrassing to the Dutch govern
ment. wilhelm is causing Holland
as much trouble as D'Annunzio is
in Italty. it was declared. The Hol-
Ianders aren't worrying so much
about what the former Kaiser has
done as what he might do. They see
in him a potential fireboX, apt TO
spring into flame at any time.
Sentiment among the Dutch peo-
pie is divided. One section believes
Holland must uphold her dignity and
reputation as an asylum for poliu-
cal refugees, refusing to surrender
Wilhelm unless there is a unanimous
allied demand. backed by a threat
of blockade. The other section looks
upon him as an unlimited guest.
They favor seizing the first oppor-
tunity to eject the thorn in Hol-
lands flesh" They look upon visits
of numerous guests to Wilhelm's
home as particularly significant.

Rank FURNACES
IN STEEL MILLS
Coal Shortage Continues to
Choke Off the Iron and
Steel Production

New York. Dec. 4. The coal
shortage is shutting Off iron and steel
production in a number of districts,
and the industry will soon face seri-
Gus curtailment unless coal output
can be materially increased, accord
ing to the Iron Age of to-day. The
return to the wartime ban on certain
uses of fuel will affect all industry
and the place oil steel in peace time
will be much farther down on the
essential list than in the heatless
days of 1918.
The Bethlehem Steel Co. has been
compelled to bank four blast fur-
naces. At South Chicago the I'M
nois Steel Co. has banked five blast
furnaces and blown out one. 1t mas
blown out one at Gary ana smut
down two batteries of coke ovens at
Gary and one at Joliet. Most OF the
bar iron and rerolling mills In the
Chicago district are idle, and two
iron mills at Cleveland. Secondary
industries are being affected aiso'
an Indiana nut and bolt plant having
been forced to close down.
Pig iron production made marx
ed recovery in November from the
October slump, due to the steel
strike. The total last month was
2,392.s5o tons, or 79,745 tons per
day. against 1.S63.55S tons in oc-
tober, or 60,115 tons per day. FROM
the present outlook December VIII
show a considerable lapse from last
months performance.
The number of furnaces in blast
December 1 was 251, with estimated
capacity of S4,550 tons per day.
whereas on November l only Zlo
furnaces were running, capable OF
producing 65.625 tons per day. the
net gain in furnaces is thus 3S and
in capacity about $4,000 tons per
day.
