WHAT'S DOING IN THE
 HOLBROOK OIL FIELD

the jaws of the underreamer would not properly close, and it was necessary to pull the casing, and work was be- gun on this Wednesday. This should be completed within a few days, including the resetting of the casing, and drilling resumed not later than Monday.
 While the reamer might have been jared loose---the policy has been not to take any unnece sary chances of delay, and the pulling of the casing was considered the only absolutely safe manner of handling the situation.
 All kinds of rumors were rife this week, and the re- port of a heavy caving near the bottom was current, and that the gas pressure was so strong as to prohibit work. A slight cave occurred un- der the casing, which was baled out in a few hours and work resumed.
 The gas pressure has ma terially increased, and con- ditions are encouraging and constantly improving.
 The statement of the manager on the fourth page of the News each week is the only authentic report is- sued, and the public can ab- solutely rely upon it.

HOW IT HAPPENED AND
 WHAT WILL NOW HAPPEN

The cause or the QoIoaC O1 about all the democratic candidates on the state tick ct is a question that has oc- cupied the attention of Ari- zonians since the final count became known a few days ago.
 The big landslide to Hard ing and Coolidge throughout the country carrying with it a majority of over 400 in the electoral college; and an overwhelming majority in the house and senate, had much to do with the vote on state offices.
 The promises of Cameron for the aid and develop ment of the state, brought direct from Harding himself played an important part.
 The land board scandals and the promises of Cover nor Campbell to correct them was another reason for the turning down of the entire democratic machine.
 Gov. Campbell's re-elec- tion, while helped by na- tional conditions, was large ly due to the efforts he ex- erted in his own campaign. He visited every section of the state and talked effect ively to every group of cleo tors encountered-he was one of them, and in this manner enlisted the interest and cooperation of every voter with which he came in contact. He has a happy faculty of remembering names and faces; and thou sands of voters in Arizona call him by his first name. It was a handsome tribute paid him in many democrat ic communities of the state not only in electing him their chief executive for an- other two years but sur rounding him with subordi- mates that will work in har- mony with him for the veal of the state.
 The general resultin state offices may have been speed ed along by sentiment thus expressed in the democratic Phoenix Messenger, after the primary: Throughout Arizona the old barnacles that had held office from ten to twenty years were nearly all defeated. Many of these were good men, but they had grown to be above party, except on election day"
 Within the capitol were a number of officials who had held place ever since state hood had came in 1912. Nearly all the democratic state ticket carried the names of men already in of flee. Sims, for governor, is secretary of state; Munch, for auditor, is a veteran capitol employe; Ross, for secretary of state, is treas urer; Erhardt, for treasurer, is assistant in the office; Jones, for attorney general, has been in the office for years; Peterson, for super intendent of public instruc- -tion, was speaker of the last house of represent atives; Foster, for mine in- spector, had been a repre- sentative. All were defeat ed except Erhardt.
 The democrats will retain control of the two most im- portant state boards, the corporation commission and the tax commission, and hence will have much pa- tronage left. The treasur- CTS office, also saved, has only a couple of clerks. Be- yond these, the capitol on January 1 will fill up with republicans, for the first

CAPITAL SECURED FOR
TREASURE HILL MINE
New Company to Engage In Cam
paign Of Extensive Development
Near Hamilton

A deal which promises to bring the
old-time camp OF Hamilton back into
the hmelight as an extensive producer
OF silver bullion was consummated I'm
Tonopah last week whereby fourteen
claims covering the famous Treasure
Hill, which produced many millions
OF dollars before the demonstration
OF silver. now pass under control Of
Tonopah mining men, who are associ-
ated with Philadelphia capitalists.
The property has long been held byR.
A. Ward, formerly a resident Of Tono-
pah, who. 1t is stated. is to receive
100000 for his holdings. During
the old boom days Of the camp this
property was worked to a depth of
ESQ feet. and was the principal pro-
Queer of the Hamilton district, but
owing to the decline of silver has not
been operated for about 40 years.
The present price of silver. however,
Is causing eastern investors to investi-
gate all fields offering opportunities
for the development of mines, hence
Hamilton. like many other old-time
producers, is now receiving long de-
served attention. which will no doubt
result in a general revival of its ex-
tensive mining resources.
The company which is being formed
to take over the property will be I'M
ply financed for extensive develop
ment work, and its success in the
Hamilton district will be the means
of bringing in other companies to
participate in further development Of
the camp.

LONGEST w LINE

The Southern Sierras Power Com
pany of Riverside, California, has for
some time past been transmitting a
high tension electric current for a
distance of SIT miles and doing II
successfully.
This line runs from the eompany's
plant in California to Yuma. Arizona.
The current is ordinarily brought 23s
miles from Puma to San Bernardino
at $1,000 volts and stepped down to
$1,000 volts and sent on to the re-
mainder of the distance. The fiexi-
bility OF the system, however, is such
that when a transform err recently
burnt out in San Berrardino the cur
rent was sent the fun SIT miles at
$1,000 volts during the time for re-
pairs. This simply shows the un-
limited power resources that can be
developed here in the west.
The Montana Power Company has
demonstrated that the heaviest
freight and passenger trains on the
Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul can
be handled successfully with cleo.
tricity. The Southern Sierra Power
Company has demonstrated that dis.
lance is no barrier to the transmits
sion of power.

NEVADA BLACK OPAL
WORLDS BIGGEST
Found In 1917, Weighs Nearly 10
Ounces and Said To Be Worth
$2se,Ooo

A correspondent writing fromeChi-
cago says the worlds largest jewel,
a black opal. found in Nevada in
1917. has been placed In the hands
OF a lapidary to be cut and polished
Several tentative bids have ben made
for 1t by millionaires. The highest
so far. 1t is said, was $4,000.
The opal. whose discovery was kept
secret for two years. being announced
only last Fall. weighs eighteen and
~six-tenths unces aviordupois, or more
than one pound. In gem terminology
it weighs 2.56s carats.
The Cullinan diamond. discovered
in the Premier mine in South Africa,
in 1903. was the largest gem ever
found. 1t weighed In the rough 81
0253 carats and measured 4x2x1 n
inches.
The new opal measures 35x16x3 v !
2h inches. These figures give the
Cullinan diamond q bulk of Is cubic
inches and the new opal 21.s2 cubic
inches.
The Cullinan diamond was about
as large as q baseball. The opal is
as large as a quarter of a brick. II
the Cullinan had been an opal II
would have weighed only 1,72s car
ats. because the specific gravity of
diamonds is rs per cent greater than
that of opals.
Discovery Of the opal in America
created a furore among scientists, be-
cause 1t was believed that the only
place where black opals existed was
in the Lightning Ridge district OF
Australia. where the supply is said
to be diminishing. Should the Neva-
da deposits prove Of large extent 1t
will be Of immense Importance, as
the opal in the last few years has lost
its reputation as a bad luck stone and
has steadily gained in popularity.
