 ors. The first, a good, game, farseeing individual
 who realizes that to make
 big money he must take a certain element of chance; the second, the sure thing artist, who waits until the last moment and calmly de- legates the entires task of exploration and the burden thereof to others, and at the last last minutes rushes in pell nell and usually is not very particular as to the methods he employs to get in on ''the ground floor"
 The first of these is usual ly level headed and devotes his energies to assisting in any manner possible the de- velopnent of the field; he endeavors to acquire all the interest he legitimately can handle and is satisfied with what he has obtained. The second, never helps develop ment but retards it by whin- ing and knocking if the ex- ploration does not progress as rapidly as he would like, and he IS never satisfied un- less he can eventually "hog" whatever interest he can--- without risking any real It is nasuating to listen to the whines and of the sure thing man and to realize the lack of any spirit of gamenessI or sportmanship.

DYSPEPTIC CONSERVATISM

Some of the editorial writ CTS of the yellow press are deploring what they term t'the riot of stock specuIa- tion now in progress" and expressing the opinion that it is a great evil which should be corrected, writes George l.. Walker in the Boston Commercial. It is not re- called that any of these ed itors ever gave voice to their regrets that men should. be permitted to speculate when the prices of stocks were go- ing down. But they must be tolerated because every age has had its wreckers who opposed upbuilding and took delight in destruction.
 These pilgarlics of feted Journalism cali every read justment upward in security prices ''stock gambling. !" Some specqlators are moved almost as much by the gamb- ling instinct as by any other; but there isan equal element of gambling in almost every business transaction. When you open a merchandise shop, buy land in the suburbs, or walk down the street with out watching your step you take gambling chances, and also, it has been said, when you get married. After the prices of everything elsehave doubled and trebled, after a world menace has been re- moved, after BoIshevism has risen and threatened and finally defeated itself, how ever, it isn't gambling to buy stocks; it is simply the exer- else of common-sense busi- ness judgment.

QUIET CONFIDENCE PREVAILS
 AFTER FURRY OF EXCITEMENT

the past week for immedi-
 ate activity. Three rigs are
 drilling, a fourth is to resume
 work. and a fifth will be
 ready probably in a weeks
 time or so-pretty good for an
 undeveloped field and elo-
 quent of the wonderful en-
 dorsement t h e Holbrook
 Field has secured.
 Geologists, Major Beeler and Crow were busy in the field this week and several negotiations for large acre. age are under way according to reliable reports. Several new companies state their intention of early activity and prices of some real estate are in keeping with develop expected in the near future.
 The discussion as to whether or not the Wind River has developed oil or an oil showing is not as acute as formerly owing to the con- opinions expressed, but the impression prevails that within a very short time the world will be electrified with definite news of an oil strike in the Holbrook Field. The endorsement this field has received, the activity of operating companies a n d those who contemplate ac- tivity, coupled with the un- breakable confidence and the early dealing in options and purchases of town property is something to think about. The chances are no longer lnderstimated.
The Holbrook news., 1919-06-27

The stranger in HolbrooE is impressed, invariably, with the quiet confidence that prevails among the merchants and oil men as tc the favorable outcome of ex- ploration of this field. Much of the apathy heretofore manifested by some h a s given place to effective ac- tivity as the realization grows that in all probability Holbrook will be on the oil map within a comparatively short period of time.
 Those who used to say "If" they get oil," now say "when" they get oil''. So far as we are able to ascer- tain, no one who has visited the field and has become familiar with operations and structure, has failed to catch the fever, some to a greater extent than others, but all to some extent. Options on property are being sought and secured and all prepara- tions being made by the far sighted, many of whom have had experience in the boom days of Ranger and Burk- burnett. A new lumber yard is being placed and a new garage on what is con- sidered by many to be the coming business section, is being erected with the idea of conforming to the per manent business of t h eI street.

Mining Record shows good judgment in refuting such purile, senseless and idiotic statements as the one samp- ling those which drew his comment. Taking the many large fortunes that have been made in the oil game the past few months as a criter- ion, we should say without hesitation. BUY STOCKS,
 BUY ALL YOU CAN HAN DLE, assuming that ordin- ary judgment is to be used in the selection of the stock so purchased. Particularly in oil, are investments, or speculations, if you please, to be encouraged, for it is the only game in the world where one can go from a shoestring to a millionaire, and when it makes---it makes in no small proportion to the investment. Taking stock selling as a whole---it is re- sponsible for many thriving communities, particularly in the west, where, had it not been for the stock salesman, the coyote and the prairie dog would still hold complete dominion. In the mining world there would have been no Verde, no Clarkdale, no Miami, and in the oil game Ranger would still be a sleepy, dusty town in a very comotose condition. Stock selling and the purchase of stock has made more million aires than in any other man. her which money can beused.

MURDER TRIAL TOBE
 HELD AT FLAGSTAFF

The trial of Adeltoni Bigue No. 1 and Adeltoni Bigue No. 2 for the murder of Charles Hubbell on the night of March 21st, will come up in the Superior Court at Flagstaff on July 7th.
 In this connection, it is easy of recollection that these reservations crimes are becoming more and more numerous and the life of the Indian Trader is more and more in jeopardy unless drastic steps are taken to make examples of those guilty of these murders. The trader should be accorded every protection by those he serves, for he is practically devoting, q in many cases, the best portion of his life isolat- ed from his white compan- ions and catering to the minute wants of the Indians. He encourages the raising of sheep and the manufacture of blankets, for W hic h he fl n d S a ready sale; a n d altogether n e c e g. sary of the well being of the Indians, from whom h e should be accorded friendly consideration in return for the benefits he makes pos sible.

Word was brought to Hol- brook yesterday of a de- sperate death battle which occurred at Chin Lee on the Navajo Indian Reservation in northern Apache County, Friday last. The remote ness of the scene is respon- sible for lack of detail. In dispute with a Navajo h. dian over a horse, a white vetrinarian and his interpre- ter were mortally wounded by their 'assailant, who in turn was killed by a well directed shot by the doctor before his waning strength was spent. It has been im- possible to learn the name of the murdered man, but the story is vouched for by a resident of the reservation who visited Holbrook yester- day.

RANGER COMPANY
 TO OPERATE HERE

F. E. Stitzer, of the Jerome firm of Fleming 6 Stitzer, who have been in the Ranger Field for the past several months. was a Holbrook visitor during the week, inspecting property in the field which he has already ac- quired. MT. Stitzer made a trip to the wells now operating and was favorably impressed with the progress made. He states that a company is being formed in Ranger which will probably be known as the Arizona Rang CT Oil Co.,, ," to be incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona and to operate in the Holbrook field. MT. Stitzer ad- Yises that active development in this field may be locked for from this company we'll within 60 days; and that it will be close cor poration.(
 MT. Stitzer states that there is very little abatement in the ae- tivity at Ranger. but that there are many there who have failed to get in right" and who are keeping close tab on the Hol- brook field with the idea of com ing in with the first rush.
