FUNERAL OF LOUIS SAM KEY

On Sunday the 18th. inst.
 the mortal remains of Louis Sam Key, our respected and respectable former citizen were laid to rest. As far as is known, MT. Key was not a member of any fraternal body, those whom one would have expected to find among the mourners were far away; nevertheless a representative body of citizens followed the remains to the grave. About thirtyive of the old timers, out of respect for the living Sam Key were present as the Rev. Speck delivered the with which the body was consigned to earth.

South Country Virgin
 Mineral StorehOuse

Dolf Thompson returned
 this week from a long and
 strenuous trip over the Apa7 che Reservation. Part of the time he was accom- panied by Dr. Wells, presi- dent of a group of San Fran cisco capitalists who have formed a syndicate to ex- ploit the great m i n e r a l wealth which lies in t h e country to the south of us.
 Enthusiastic hardly expres- ses Dolf's views of this mag nificent mineralised region. Many and various were the properties visited. Gold, Silver, Siiver-lead, Copper, Asbestos, and Alunogen pro spects, some sufficiently op- ened to warrant the install ation of machinery, others showing wonderful values on the surface, others which unless Nature has broken her laws must be rich.
 The means of locomotion over the territory were as varied as the minerals look ed at. Horse back, auto mobile, train, and the oldi reliable 'shanks mare"
 Also marked was the vari- l ation in price demanded for similar properties. Some, on learning that active capi- 1 tai was represented, immedi- ately figured in the hundred thousand class, others, the wise ones, quoted a royalty basis. Capital is too selfish to gamble, and the day that our prospectors learn this.| will be the day they start doing business.
 MT. Thompson forwarded particulars of the most pro- missing properties to h i S and is now wait ing for authority to close the deals as he has highly recom- mended two.

OLD TIME DANCE

Twas billed as an old time dance, but on account of the old-timers not putting in ap- pearance, it was turned into a new-time dance. Fisher and his orchestra were will ing to deal out music appro- priate for the evening as billed, but apparently the dancers wanted nothing old time.
 A large and appreciative crowd was in attendance, many coming from outside towns. Everybody W a s pleased with the dance and made no bones about saying so.
 The orchestra consisted of J. F. Fischer, violin; Mrs. Black, piano; Tommy Hath orn, cornet; Roy Cross, drums.

PROUD OF YOUR FARM?
 NAME IT AND PATENT If

Washington, Sept. 29-
 Secretary Wallace of the De-
 partment of Agriculture has sent out a notice that he
 hopes will come to the at
 tention of all farmers proud
 of their farm development.
 He wants them to know that
 they can patent the name of
 their farms and so establish "a patented standard of quail ity for their produce.
 The United States patent office recently approved and published in the Patent Off, flee Gazette a trademark cov- ering "Hawkeye, the name Of an Iowa farm owned by Ledru c. Willits, breeder of pure bred hogs, cattle and sheep. He is the first stock man, and probably the first farmer, Secretary Wallace. says, to obtain a United States trademark for his farm. If a farmer uses his farm name and trade mark as part of his selling opera tions the trademark protects the owner of the farm in in- terstate commerce. Several states have laws which au- thorize the registration of farm names with the state authorities, but a trademark registered by the govern protects the use of the farm name outside of the state in which the farm is. located.

The Judge has held this honorable a n d honorary position for the past three years, and the splendid record made by the Holbrook schools is in no small measure duetohis unre- mitted labor on their behalf.

RAIN ON. GOOD NEWS

The downpour is "K0LO- SSAL" this week, in fact we are thankful that our past is such that our statements are conceded by all to have at least some foundation of fact. As press time approach es, we are in receipt of two items, both well substantial ed, which have such great bearing on the future of this oilfield that we have some hesitation in giving them publicity. The item which refers to the Holbrook Oil Go. was given in confidence and we are unable to recount in full, be it sufficient to say that the future of this com pany never seemed more promising. Regarding the second item, the immediate possibility of another drill- ing companyis so we'll found ed that we hope the organi- CTS will permit us to an nounce plans in the next is-
  sue of THE NEWS. Join us for a moment in their three loud cheers.

BOOM! BOOM!

At least one man in Hol- brook is convinced that the building boom is on. A few days ago an old friend of ours pocked his head into the editorial sanctum and eX- claimed rather blasphemous- ly, !" the boom is on!"
 This man is an observer. He knows there is more building going on along Por- ter Street than in any other part of the city. And the city council have made it possible.

FIRE

The residence of MT. Tom Ortega was totally gutted bylfre last night. The fire occurred about two a. m. and occasioned no little excite ment. Mir. Ortega a n d family were at Heber, and as the fire started in the top part of the house, the only feasible theory that occurs is faulty wiring. Unfortu- nate as is the loss of home and many precious articles one can never replace, the belief in insurance which MT. Ortega holds will parti- ally recoup him.,

DRILLING CONTRACTOR IN THE
 FIELD
To the Taylor Interests of which Dr. Tayloris the
 nominal head, we
 make our Obei- sance

The arrival of T. c. Mills, the completion of Dorsey Hager's report, the exami- nation of bids and letting of contract for rigs which was awarded to the Cooley Lum- Der Co. should, in our opin- ion, confound those weak hearted critics who have been continually a s k in g What's Taylor going to do and when?" It has been our privilege to talk with some of the men who are giving Dr. Taylor financial aid, and their statement that oil is their only hope of return, the sooner found the sooner the return is businesslike and complete.
 Dr. Taylor, using THE NEWS as his medium, is this week placing before the public a partial resume of MT. Hager's opinion of the south country. Hager's position in the petroleum world is such that hls ser vices are high priced a n d Dr. Taylor is to be heartily thanked for taking the pub lie into his confidence to the extent of placing before their notice this optimistic report.

Statement by Dorsey Hager
 in ReOrganic Shale
Holbrook, Arizona, Sept.
 20th. 1921

Z0th. 1921
 On my trip to c a ny o II Creek sixty miles due South of Winslow, seventy-five miles southwest of Holbrook and to the Cibicue and Car rizo Creeks area seventy-ive to eighty miles south of Hol- brook, 1 found at least two hundred feet of organic shale in beds from ten to forty feet in thickness, alternat- ing with limestone and sand stone.
 These shaIe beds, belong to the RedwaIl formation which 1 believe to be Middle Pennsylvanian; are gray in color on the surface; had slight purplish tints in some of the beds but when struck with a pick. they showed blue and dark gray colors. Close examination of the shale gave positive evidence of numerous fossils imbed- ded in the shale. The most common type of fossil found was the Terebratula which ranges from the Devonian to the present. The most important point to consider was that these fossils were found intact in the shales. They lay in beds and were enclosed in the soft shale which kept them from de- composing rapidly, a condi- tion that is most favorable for the formation of oil.
 The limestones between the shales are also rich in fossils, but limestone fossils are of such a type that you hardly expect oil from them.
 These recent discoveries remove all doubt from my mind as to the presence of organic S h a l e plentiful enough to give oil in com merciaI quantities.

CALIFORNIA PAYS TRIBUTE TO
 THE WHITE MOUNTAINS

On Wednesday of this week a large party of Cali
 fornians passed through
 town on their way to the
 White Mountains. Their purpose was visible in that they carried guns of all sizes, shapes and calibre. The mountains region to the south is rapidly becoming known, and other than it's mineral wealth, must be- come an asset to Holbrook if we will get out and do some real hearty boosting. The party, which was out fitted and will be guided by N. A. Brimhall, consists of the following: J. c. Booth, 0. M. Stimson, D. w. Smo- use, c. A Hayward, R. w. Puydon, G. A. Burton, all of Los Angeles, and M. D. of Fullerton, Cal.
 The party will be on the shooting trip about fifteen days. The big game hunt lng licenses were furnished the party by L. Caldwell.

WOOL AND LAMBS

The genuinely. optimistic view of the future of the market for the sheep indus try as expounded by Joe Skinner of Albuquerque helps to revive our faith in mankind. MT. Skinner, in this time of financial stress, had sufficient faith to go in- to business for himself. He is representing Messrs. Mae ger and Curry, wool buyers of Boston, and Messrs. Sch roeder, Reinholtz and Yule, lamb buyers of Fit. Collins, Colo.
 The fact of the rancher being willing to turn his pro- duct into cash is the en- couraging feature of the inn mediate present. Dealers will now be able to fill the demand which in the past has been impossible because of the growers refusal to part with lambs, and wool. This in itself will serve to make an active market, which as the demand is sat isfed, must become a ris- ing one.
 A faith such as this, in 3 time such as this, must be justified. We hope you make a million, Joe.
