visit to the main office of the company. He was accompanied by A. U. Magnum, the general manager. Besides acquiring a vast acreage for themselves, the Wind River company is to com- plete the well of the Hopi Oil company under a very liberal contract and have already made considerable progress in getting things in shape for rapid work: They have completed a concrete dam across the canyon below Porter's tank. and have also built cement tank on the ridge above the Hopi drill. The two miles of pipe which will convey the water from the reservoir in the canyon to the tank is on the road and will be here shortly. With a full crew of expert drillers. good weather and plenty of water the daily footage at the Hopi should soon break all previous records.
 In addition to it's large holdings of patented lands, the Hopi com pany has about 5000 acres of located lands and it will at once proceed to the validation of all their claims.
 The Adamana Oil company is building q, 000-gaIIon storage tank for water at the we'll. It Is expected that the Adamana will not have to go much deeper to get ample water, but in the mean time they are taking every precaution to conserve the sur face waters.
 Secretary Hennessey and Presi- dent MacDuffee of the Adamana, are associated with New York interests who plan to organize a new company to operate in this field. The new company is said to have some big men connected with it and to have ample finan- cial backing.

 The Arizona State

Bureau of Mines.

done by the U. s. Geological
 Survey in that part of this state
 The oil field of the world are
 found in places where exist z
 geological structure called ar anticline. This anticline may be a true" anticline, or the struc- tural conditions may be such as to duplicate that structure ir part or wholly. An anticline resembles a broad arch of rock extending over many miles. the axis of which may undulate. causing domes to be formed. The oil and gas usually occupy the crests of the anticllnal struc- ture. water being below the gas and the oil. The oil so far found in the San Juan field occurs in the syncline or trough of the structure, being due to the lack of water or to the low water level in the field.
 The geological data collected to date show that there is an anticline axis extending across the northeast corner of Arizona from the San Juan field, in a southeasterly direction. There are parallel and minor anticlinal axes on both sides of the main anticline. The main anticline produces the Defiance plateau. That the rocks and structure exist which are favorable to oil, there is no doubt; on the other hand, the necessary conditions which go to form oil fields. such as an impervious cover. economic depth, porous rock container. freedom from faulting, existence or oll-formlng strata, etc., nave yet to be proven. This. how. ever, can only be done bs systematic field work, botl stratigraphical and geological followed up by able test drilling Such work has yielded excellent results in disclosing many of the rich oil pools of the Mid -Contin- ent fields of Oklahoma and Kan sas. It is hoped that in the near future. and in view of the short age of oil. that the northern part of Arizona will receive the at- tention which the present known conditions seem to warrant.

THE News this week repro l duces two articles on the Hol- brook oil field by Charles Ed ward Major and Milton B. Allen.
 Both articles are ably written and show credit to the authors.
 The endorsement of the field by MT. Allen, Mineral Technolo- gist of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines. is itself, a valuable as- set for the field, while the article by MT. Major will be appreciated by our readers for the reason that he was the first man of geo. logical training to publicly place his stamp of approval on the Holbrook field.
 The Independent Oil Review of Los Angeles in it's March edi- tion. contains the two contribu- tions. The Review in this num- Der devotes six pages to the Rol- brook oil field which shows artis- tic and trained ability.

Imperial Valley Capitalists
 fO Develop HolbrOOk Field

The Aztec Petroleum Securi, ties company announce the grant, ing of lease to the Texas-Ari. zona Oil Development company backed by representatives of financial ability, in Imperial Val ley and New York.
 This company has two rigs now drilling two wells in the Burk- Burnett field in Texas and four more wells under contract. and the stock of the company ssince issued has advanced ten fold.
 This company in addition to it's holdings in the Burk- Burnett field have valuable holdings in the proven Petroleum field in Texas, which will be developed during the summer.
 A reasonable time was given this company to commence oper- ations, but it seems that the com pany does not propose to take advantage of that condition. as the company on the seventh in- stant wired MT. Warden, man. ager of the Aztec Petroleum Se- curities company to secure for the company house and office ac- commodations in Holbrook.
 The entrance of this company in the field is but another indi- cation of the attention that the Holbrook field is receiving from large oil operators throughout the country.

Oil Co.
 Starts Work
Put Crew to Work Erecting Derrick
 For First We'll

Jack Warden, secretary of the
 Holbrook Oll Co.,. arrived here on Monday after an absence of couple of months, during the most of which time he has been incspacitated by illness. Imme- diately after his arrival he put Dad Hastings and a crew of men to work erecting the derrick for the first well of the Holbrook Oil Co.,, which will be sunk four miles to the west of the Hopi we'll.
 Owing to his illness and other unavoidable circumstances there has been delay in starting this well, but Mir. Warden says there will be no further time lost until the drills reach the oil sands. He has also bought a drilling rig which belonged to the Marcus Daly estate and this will be placed on a section about three miles southeast of the town of Holbrook. He expects that this will be here and erected within 30 days
 Word has been received from Charles Oster of New York, who is said to be acting for high of fcials of the Coats Thread Co.,, stating that he is on the way to Holbrook, but will stop over in Kansas to see after the shipping of two standard drilling rigs which be has bought for the pur- pose of operating here. MT. Oster has acquired a big acreage of choice ground for his people and he is expected to be one of the most active operators in this field.

(By Milton B. Allen)

A CTIVE drilling operations A in oil fields adjacent to Arizona lead one to ask. What are the possibilities for the oc- currence of oil in Arizona?" Increased activities are taking place in ths Verde valley, Yava- pal county. and Tonto Basin in GiIa county. Companies have also been formed and leases taken on land near Benson in Cochise county.
 It is reported recently.that gas has been discovered east of Snowflake. Whether this gas is coming from a natural gas field or is marsh gas from the exist ing coal measures in southern Navajo county has yet to be proven. The fact that oil has been discovered in the San Juan field of Utah, which borders on the northern Arizona llne, and the fact that test wells have been put down Mckinley county, New Mexico, draws our atten- tion more forcibIy to the idea that this state may become the scene of great oil activities.
 Attention was called to the San Juan field as being possibly oil bearing by the occurrence of oil seepage on the San Juan river. Drilling has been carried on. but the yield of producing wells has not been great; also the economic situation of the field and the price of oil were not favorable at the time of the preliminary development, and drilling was not carried on to any great depth. The conditions under which the petroleum oc- CUTS in the San Juan field are peculiar to it because of the geo. logical conditions caused by the arid climate and intense erosion by rivers. This condition will no doubt exist in all of the pos sible oil areas of Arizona. since the underground water plays an important part in oil distribution.
 The fact that salt water was struck in the test well drilled in Mckinley county, New Mexico, was not discouraging, in view of the fact that the salt water wells of Pennsylvania were instru- mental in the discovery of petro- leum. and that salt water is usually found in all oil fields.
 Practically the whole north east half of the state of Arizona is covered by sedimentary rocks; this type of rock formation is known to be the seat of all the oil pools in the world. The area of these rocks in Arizona far ex- ceeds their area in California. Of course structural changes, which are favorable to the ac- emulation of oil, must exist. Thatthese structural conditions do exist is known from the pre- Iiminary work which has been
The Holbrook news., 1919-04-11

there is no question about the venture being we'll worth under taking, but is systematic man. ner. The first we'll may be a dry hole, due entirely to error in location; but that does not mean that oil does not exit and may not be produced.
 The field possesses great pos sibities for the production of petroluem in commercial quanti- ties. Systematic exploration will demonstrate it.
