H0LBR0OK OIL DRILLING

The Holbrook Oil company re-
sumed drilling this week on their
we'll the cement having set. Just
at the present moment the Holbrook
company are in position to soon
prove the first sands of the field and
it is hoped that with their superb
equipment that they will suffer no
mechanical troubles which will de-
lay them in the proving of the oil
sands which they are confidently
thought to have The Holbrook Oil
company is one of the pioneer com.
panies of the field and as usual
with pioneer companies, their devel-
opment work has met with many of
the adversities which make the his
tory of all oil fields. but just at this
writing, it would seem that they are
nearing that point when real history
for the Holbrook field will be made.
The best geologists of the country
have given their opinion that the
Holbrook field has all the earmarks
of productive field and in the 8
or 4 years Just passed there has
been much development going on
and several companies have put
holes down into the ground and
practically all of them have been
able to discover evidences of the
presence of oil but none of them
have yet reached the depth neces-
sary with a finished properly cased
hole. The Holbrook company's well
IS in excellent shape. They have
the best equipment in the field and
it now appears that they are going
TO demonstrate the value of the field
before any of the other drills get
sufficient depth to tap the expected
sands.

Jas. Rubey,. Bert Wolleben,. A

w. Peterson returned Friday from
headquarters in the Stoney Country
where they had hunted since the
beginning of the season. The
party had very poor success and
would have returned empty handed
had it not been for the fact that
a young deer followed them for
about ten miles to within few
feet of the camp when it was shot.
This is no joke. The party was
coming in when they heard a
noise behind them and looking
around saw the deer had followed
them home-probably out of pity
and to give them change of diet.

The hunting parties all came out
of the woods Sunday and Monday.
1t is claimed by those who were
in the chase that conditions were
not as favorable for deer and

the woods owing to the absence
of snow gave the animals ample
warning of the approach of the
hunter.

camping out doors and sleeping
