NEWS LETTER FROM
 H0LBROOK SECTION
By JAMES '. OD1IEN, Asst-6scy. Chamber of Commerce.

Holbrook, Ariz., March 27--the en- couraging oil indications which were encountered in the Hopi company's we'll shortly after the hard cross ribbed Goconino sandstone caprock was gone through continue to multi ply with each passing day. The sand now coming from the Hopi well, on being treated, shows oil, and the drill ers' "smut" has appeared.
 As one oil-well driller who. was at the Hopi during the week put it: Smut is to oil what the bloom is to the beach," It is the forerunner of the liquid oil"
 The representative of very large concern, headed by practical driller, on seeing this "smut" at the Hopi, immediately closed contract for an extensive area of patented lands, pay ing a handsome bonus therefor in ad- dition to the usual royalty. Since that time another concern has leas- ed 25OO acres and arranged to put in a drilling rig within 90 days, with the provision that two additional drills would follow in 60 days after the discovery of oil.
 As a result of the better showing, the Hopi company is planning exten- sive improvements. among them be- ing the laying of a two-inch water main from the storage reservoirs to new tanks which will be constructed at the we'll. The pipe line will be about two miles in length and will convey sufficient water to the stor- age tanks at the we'll to furnish an ample supply for the dry season This pipe line is expensive and will be of little use after the well is drill ed unless oil is struck-therefore il would not be put in unless the out look warranted the expenditure.
 President MacDuffee and Secretary Hennessy, of the Adamana Oil com pany, together with associates, have bought from Harold E. Dodd all hi! stock interests in the Adamana. Ths executive officers of the company arr naturally in touch with every devel opment and their confidence could no find more convincing expression.
 Another pioneer of the Holbrool field gave similar expression to hi confidence during the week. He wa entitled to fairly good cash commis sion on deal he had put through and it is violating no confidence t. say that he could use the money. Blu he refused the cash and he secured small fractional interest in the land No "piker's money" goes for him, h said.
 Bryan Bros, of the Holbrook Fri bune, and Ed. Jones, the plumber have bought block of land near tn river, and they plan to eventuall drill for oil on this ground.
 Harry Lowe, who recently sold tn Bella Union and New Mohawk mine: near Chloride, was here the past wee looking over the field in the interes of New York parties. Mir. Lowe is successful promoter and as he es pressed himself enthusiastically ove the oil outlook, he is expected to rt turn shortly and commence actu, drilling operations.
 T. J. Caldwell former vice-pras dent of the Cotton Belt Land eompan, was another one of the weeks wis tors who added to his holdings whi here. MT. Caldwell has had exper ence in some of the older oil fiell and he believes that the wonderf1 anticlinal structures of this vicini' are underlaid with oil.

VUKOYE READS OF RUCH'S FLIGHT INTO THE GRAND
 CANYON IN PARIS PAPER
Sable, France, March 6, 1919.

 Mir. Anson H. Smith,
 Kingman, Arizona.
 Dear Friend:
 "Just few lines to say that am enjoying the best of health. l re- ceived Mohave County Miner today, hand sure was glad to get it. l felt as if I was at home when l read all the news from old Mohave. Believe me I want to come back, and every one of us on this side is home sick. Of course we all can't come at once, it takes time to do everything. What do you think of the job we done to the dirty kaiser? He did not get enough of what was coming to him. We sure had him on the run; he didn't have time to turn around and see what was going on. I just got here in time to give him the last lick. The last drive in the Argonne I crossed the Mouse river; sure was a hard one, but we made it alright with very little lost on our side. We were twenty-four miles from Metz. Now we are sta tioned about 400 miles from Brest, which is our seaport. General Per shing was here last week, we parad- ed, and he was very much pleased with our Division. We expect to sail in April, I am in the 77th Division, which was the first drafted division to go over the top. The General said that this Division has gained 711a miles of ground, which is more than any other Division in the A.. E. F. I wonder if you remember the lost battalion in the Argorne forest last fall, that is the battalion I am in now. The first battalion of 30S Infantry, 77th Division got into a terrible trap between two firing lines on No Mans Land for six long days without any ration or aid of any kind. What did the Germans do? They sent mes senger to our Colonel to surrender. Our Commander told them to "Go to He'll" The seventh day our boys got out alright without losing a man. The most interesting and surprising thing appeared to me this morning
 when I walked down the street bought a Paris morning paper, on the , front page was a big head line , "Kingman, Arizona, March 3rd., Lieu tenant Charles V. Rugh member of the Gulf-to-Pacific Aero Squadron performed the hazardous feat of fly. { ing inside the Grand Canyon walls ir Arizona" That sure was surprise
 to me to see Kingman published in the 2 Paris paper. Then, l said to myself
 "Oh you Good Old Kingman," an proud of you even if I am so fal :, away from you.
 2 Now, this is about all the news " can write. Hoping to see you sool and tell you a whole lot more. Q haven't seen any of our Mohave Coun !, ty boys since I came over here, 1, think I am the only one in this Div t ision. I have inquired in several out a fits to see if I could run across som' : of our boys. What Division is How F ard in? I would like to see him, }. don't suppose I would know him nov | if I did see him, as l guess he IS
 big man.
 l. Now, I have to close, hoping you ar ?, all well and prosperous.

tudes. On its rapid vaporization alone must often depend the lives of the men in the aeroplane. This gasoline would not be good for general use. It would lack power on the ground, its loss in storage by evaporation would be great, and it would be expensive.
 Making aviation gasoline for the Government took very considerable part of the low boiling point or highly volatile constituents of the crude oil, and, as result, the gasoline left avail able for regular use lacked those quali- ties which assure easy starting of the automobile engine.
 The Governments demand for avi- ation gasoline reached its maximum in the late fall of 1918, and then for peri cd of about six weeks the deficiency of Red Crown gasoline in low boiling point constituents or easy starting qualities was most apparent.
 Now that the war is won and the great demand for aviation gasoline has ceased, we are again able to offer the same grade of Red Crown gasoline as formerly, with the same full and con- tinuous chain of boiling points the low to the -wtichis necessary for easy starting, quick and smooth acceleration, high power and long mileage.

Highly volatile gasoline for fighting aeroplanes was one of the war needs. The output of this special gasoline by all the rehneries east of the Rocky Mountains was not enough, so Califor- mia was called upon to furnish large part of the supply. At the request of the United States Government the Pa cifc Coast Petroleum War Service Committee apportioned California's quota among such of the large refiners as were able to make this special gaso- line.
 The Standard Oil Company, being the largest of these, had the greatest quota to fill. We were glad to do our part. We supplied more than our quo- ta of aviation gasoline.
 Aeroplane engines, operating high in the air under conditions of extreme cold and rarefed atmosphere, require different gasoline from engines operat- ing on the ground. In fact, the needs are so special that the gasoline manu- factured for aeroplane use (often used at attitudes of from 10000 to 25,000 feet) would be utterly indifferent for use in automobile or other internal combustion engines operated on land or sea.
 Aviation gasoline has to be highly volatile. It must vaporize rapidly even in the extreme cold of very high alti-

FORMER BEMIDJkOWNER "
REVISITS FORMER SCENES:
PLEASANT MEMORIES

Bemidji received visit today
from the man who owned Bemidji,
w. J. Hilligoss of Tacoma, WASH,
and he was the man who broug... the
Great Northern railroad to Bemidji.
Silvered head, this veteran Of the
great northwest is as rugged as ever
and as active as he was in the good
old days. when he owned 96 acres
of land whereon Is now the iCty Of
Bemidji. the "City of Enterprise" a
modern community in every detail.
At that time there was nothing of
the preesnt city visible, only wild
waste Of land, and Mr.. Hilligoss a7e
away eighteen lots to his friends,
one Of them the present site of the
Remore hotel, northeast corner Bel
trami avenue and Third street.
For years, Mr.. Hilligoss has been
chief cruiser and land examiner for
the Great Northern and was the man
who laid out the roads through
Glacier Park. Hardly a foot Of this
great northwest but what he inti-
mately knows and the pioneers OF
Bemidji and this vicinity are old
time friends.
He is as full Of pleasan and in
teresting memories as an oyster Is
full of meat, and he is always g.ad
to have an opportunity to again re-
visit scenes of days now gone.
