EVENTS OF PAST WEEK
 STABILIZE SITUATION
Jumped Claims Quit Claimed to the
 Original LOcators

1 Allin all, thereis noticeabl!
 a better feeling prevalent il
 the field and the attitude o1
 Messrs. Rhea and Glossel
 has won for them many per.
 sonal friends.
 Cases are now being in.
 vestigated by the Holbrook Oil Mining District of alleged
 land jumping by others and
 with complete data which is expected within a few days,
 those who have made filings on l and previously located and filed upon will be asked before a committee of the organization to clear the title to the property in ques- tion. That there is an effort by a small association of trouble makers to take ad- vantage of purely technical errors on some locations in the field, is known, and if these gentlemen have any false sense of security in their machinations they will probably find their judgment based purely upon egotistic principles.
 Another matter which has been settled during the past week, and which has been of considerable interest, is the the Aztec Petroleum Securi- ties company payment on is known as the "Meiklejohn Lease. . This payment was made at Wins low at the offices of the Az tee Land 6 Cattle company on Wednesday of this week, and effectually put a stop to interested propaganda that it would not be paid. This, in itself has had a tendency to stabilize certain projected development in the field.

CONFIDENCE IN OUTCOME OF
 DEVELOPMENT GROWS DAILY
Aztec Petroleum Securities Company
 Protects Lease

company of 104 sections in
 the heart of the reported or endorsed oil area. Two com panles are already drilling upon acreage secured from this lease. The successful development so confidently anticipated in this endorsed area, will place the Aztec Petroleum Securities com pany well at the top of the list of oil producing com panies of the world.
 In the meantime, much evidence is being shown by other interests of their cer- tain anticipation by the fact that they are securing choice parcels of available land in the field. It is a good bet that the Holbrook Field will be in the list of producing fields long before it was or iginally anticipated.

HE LIKES THE NEWS D. G. BIDDER MINING ENGINEER
 LOS ANGELES

July z, 1919 The Holbrook News,
 Holbrook, Ariz., Gentlemen:
 The Holbrook Oil District is fortunate in having a fear less champion in the News as the article in your issue of July 4th relative to claim jumping indicates.
 I was fortunate to be one of the first to report favor ably upon the oil features of the Holbrook field and l am especially gratified with the results of developments to date. Vigorous prosecution of work already begun and that which will follow will surely demonstrate the inn portance of this District as an oil producer.
 1 congratulate you and the Holbrook Arizona Oil Min ing District in the stand you have taken against claim jumping, as we'll as your in- valuable services in the clean promotion of the Field.
 Yours truly,
 D. G. KIDDERy

Field Notes

- V ' Development in the field continues to progress; the
 WIND RIVER-HOPI well is
 being drilled with all speed
 possible we are advised by Supt. w. w. Rhea, who also states that the average pro- gress the past few days has been an average of at least 100 feet per day; there are many reports as to the form ation which is being drilled at present, but in any event, with the progress of the past week maintained it should not be long before maximum depth is attained. Work will be continued with two tow CTS and MT. Rhea advises every effort will be made to make depth as rapidly as possible.
 At the ADAMANA we'll, progress has been held up the past week by reason of the breaking of the engine crank shaft, but it is antici- pated that by the time this appears in print work will have been resumed. At the time of the accident excel lent depth was being made and Superintendent Carl will spare no effort to make up for lost time immediately work is resumed.
 The HOLBROOK OIL COMPANY reports that the natural tank recently com pleted as an auxiliary to the company we'll. has been com pletely filled by the recent rains, providin g water enough in the tank itself to complete the well, barring any unexpected seepage. Superintendent Hastings is in Holbrook awaiting the ar- rival of shipments which will | enable him to resume work at the well.
 The Black Canyon Syndi- cate well, being drilled on the Richards-Owens lease under supervision of B. w. McClosky, is making head way and the core drill,' we are advised, is working in a very satisfactory manner, Supt. McClosky stating that the initial progress even ex- ceeds his expectations.
 The APACHE COMPANY [ is making arrangements for resumption of work at an early date, Secretary Smith stating that definite news may be expected within the next fortnight.
 Indications variously re- ported from different sources as having been encountered at the wells, are very en- couraging, although the man. agement of the drilling com panies are reticent as to any thing of the kind, but it is kuown that one of the com panies now drilling is buying up some available acreage.
 Next week will probably record the arrival of geolog- ists representing large oilin- terests who expect to take hold in this field. News of the Zuni, Klatawa, Hol- brook-Midwest, Shamrock and other companies is not definite at this writing in re- gard to starting of opera tions, but all of these com

doings without the fanfart of trumpets, but none -th' less of a nature to place tn, field before the world on sound and substantial basiI as to it's intention and tht earnestness of the endeavol now being made.
 The first of the week saw the filing of quit claim deeds executed by w. w. Rhea, Field Superintendent of the Wind River company, cover ing all the lands in Town ship 15, Range 19, which had been filed on and located by Bob Adams over previous To- cations. Mr. Rhea acted on authority of power of attor- ney from all of the men whose names were used by Adams on this land. Quit claims were prepared by Judge Sidney Sapp, Presi- dent of the Holbrook Arizona Oil Mining District, upon whose representations the matter had been called to the attention of the Wind River company. The amic- able settlement of this mat ter showed a worthy inclina- tion on the part of both the Wind River company and the Oil Mining District of Hol- brook and the matter has been settled in a creditable manner to each.
 There is considerable spec ulation as to what caused Adams to take the radical step, but as he departed without going into details, the matter is necessarily one of conjecture as the attitude of the men whose names he used is perhaps exemplified by the following letter re- ceived by The News the past week. This letter is from one of the men whose names were used by Adams:
 DENVER, Colo,

 Holbrook,
 Arizona.
 Gentlemen:
 Accidentally we were handed a copy of your paper of July 4th and read your article with regard to the jumping of claims, very carefully. I was surprised for this was the first information that I had had of my name being used for such a purpose, altho a few days ago 1 signed papers giving MT. Rhea
 Power of Attorney, but
 I did not know for what reason, but suppose it was that MT. Rhea is
 down there trying to
 undo the damage.
 I want you people to know that I would not
 have allowed my name
 to be used had 1 known
 it, and if there is any
 one in your territory to
 W h o m injustice has
 been done thru me un-
 knowingly, 1 would ap-
 prsciate it if they would
 write to me and if in
 my power I will imme-
 diately rectify same. So
 far in my life I have
 made a success without
 underhand or dishonest
 things.
 Very truly yours,
 ELMER PARTNER.
