DEVELOPMENTS IN THE HOL-
BROOK OIL FIELD DURING
THE PAST YEAR
By s. Earl Taylor.

Holbrook, Ariz., March II, 1923.
The past year has been striking
one from the standpoint of oil deye-
lopments in the Holbrook- Winslow
area
During the early part of the year,
Mr.. Hager's printed report on the
I"Oil Possibilities of Northeastern
Arizona" was widely circulated among
OIL men. This naturally brought an
increasing number of visitors to look
the field over. In connection with
i his work, Mr.. Hager outlined on a
map the possible Oil bearing area in
Northeastern Arizona, Northeastern
New Mexico and in Southern Utah
and Colorado. At the time when his
report was made and his map was
drawn, oil had not been discovered
in the great basin which he marked
out.
But during the past year the startl-
ing announcement was made that the
Midwest Refining Company had
brought in well at Shiprock, which
was almost in the center of the great
oil bearing basin indicated by Mr.
Hager. The Shiprock we'll was re-
ported to have been flowing at the
rate of more than a thousand barrels
a day, to be over so per cent gravity
baume, the highest gravity thus far
discovered in the world, and oil was
reported to have been found at a
depth of only little over 700 feet.
These announcements were strik-
ing enough to attract the oil frater-
nifty of the world, and big rush took
place in the Navajo country. Since
haVo hnnn
published, many Of which are doubt
less authentic, concerning new rigs
moving into the territory and new
wells brought in. During the past
week, the Albuquerque Journal has
announced a new we'll eighty miles
west of Shiprock, and it is probable
that there if not four, wells have been
brought in in the northern country. 1t
is difficult to get accurate infOrma
ton for the reason that the parties
at interest are naturally covering up
just what is taking place while leases
are being secured. The United Sta
teS Government has taken cognizance
of the situation by appointing a spe-
cial commissioner in charge of the
Navajo country. This commissioner
has called council of all the Navajo
Indian Agents, and Washington has
been considerably agitated by the
demands which are being made for
leases The Oil Journals of the
country are taking notice of the 81
tuation and are constantly referring
to this as the worlds next great oil
field. The following from the Wall
Street Journal is quite typical of
what is being published quite gene
rally by oil magazines and other
papers:
There is no doubt that the oil
conquest of the great Rocky Noun
tain territory will be made by the
Standard Oil Company. Geological
definition of oil structures in numer-
Gus locations in Arizona, Utah, New
Mexico and Colorado lead to the most

HERE IS THE BEST ONE YET

Here is q little story that has been
going the rounds, and it tells the
story OF buying away from home, from
mail order houses, so we'll that we
think you ought to read it If you
have read 1t, perhaps 1t would be well
to refresh your memory.
The other day in Oklahoma man
went into a hardware store to buy a
saw. He found the kind he wanted
and asked the price. 1t was $1.65. the
dealer said
Good gracious" replied the shop
per, Il can buy the same saw exactly
from Sears-Sawbuck, the catalogue
house, for $1.35"
That's less than l paid for it." re-
piled the dealer, but l will meet cata-
logue competition, so I'll make you
that saw for $1.35 also"
All right" said the customer.
send it to my house and charge it to
my account"
Not on your life" replied the deal
er. mo charge account on this. The
mail order house doesn't trust you.
am simply meeting their price and
terms. Fork over the cash"
Now 2 cents more for postage, and
cents for the money order" said the
dealer.
''What?"
Certainly, you have to send letter
and money order to a mail order
