NSLOW, NAVAJO COUNTY, ARIZONA. AUGUST 29. 1919. Oil Notes It is reported that the Adamana well is making good pro gress, having made more than 700 feet the present month. It is claimed that thev are near 1700 feet. The Wind River Co. have not drilled for the past three weeks, although it is stated that their cable and other supplies are at the Holbrook station, but up un til this morning had not been taken to the well. This delay sparing for leases, will not ma terially strengthen the Hopi stock or confidence in the man agement. The Holbrook Oil Company is now making good progress, hav ing received their needed repairs and immediately took them to the field and began operation last Thursday. They have the heav iest rig on the field. This com pany is headed by Ex-Governor Meiklejohn of Nebraska, and Jack Marden of this state, two good men. The first well of the Black Lime Oil Co., of Texas, in which several of our citizens hold stock, was a “Duster,” but the com pany is drilling two more wells the deepest being 2900 feet at last reports. The third being in the Desdemonia pool. After nearly six week’s delay it is now reported that Silver Cycle in block 75 of the Burkbur nett field brought in a Gusher, and it took more than 24 hours to get it under control. It was later reported that they had some fire, but did little damage, and the well is reported now as flowing between 1,800 and 2,000 barrels per day, and the pipe line is only able to take half of the product at this time. It is stated that Fred Craise, the special geologist for the Allen Oil Company, was delayed in reaching here on account of no train service out of Los Angeles. Mr. Craise was in the Ventura field, and there being no train service, had to reach Barstow by “Jitney.” We expect a more definite report relative to the Allen Oil Company for our next issue. Secretary to State Prison N. T. Roach, who has been collector for the Water Com pany and Electric Light Com pany here for the {last several years, has secured a nice promo tion, having been appointed by Governor Campbell as secretary to the state prison at Florence. Mr. and Mrs. Roach will leave here Saturday to make their fu ture home in Florence. Mrs. Roach had been employed in the city schools as teacher for the coming year, and her resigna tion will create a vacancy which will be hard to full. The many friends of this popular young couple will be glad to hear of Mr. Roach’s promotion, but they will be greatly missed in the social life of the city. Base Ball We are in receint of a letter from Mr. McKloskey, assistant manager of the Snowflake ball team, in which he seems to think that they have some ball team, in fact one which can beat any team in Winslow, and they are very desirous of coming down here at any time and demonstrate the fact. We have turned Mr. | McKloskey’s letter over to the local manager and we are quite I sure that we can arrange a game for them in the near future. We have seen the Snowflake team perform and they are a very good aggregation of ball tossers and will give any team here a | run for the money. Navajo County Fair j The Navajo County Fair Asso ciation to particularly call attention to the- Floriculture Department under charge o f Miss Alice Young of Taylor, / rizona. Miss Young had charge of this display at the first annual fair and her scccess in the hand ling of her department warrants the Association in asking for the* hearty support of Navajo County for this Department. Let the display in this department be at least equal to the interest Miss Young is showing.
