wYoMING,s OIL FIELDS.
Renewed Interest In This Important
and Growing Industry.


Cheyenne, Wyo, April 2O.-The re-
ley, near Douglas, has created renewed
and increased interest in the Wyoming
oil circles, and recalls to notice the
proportions in which the oil industry is
carried on in the central part of the
state. At Caspefais a refinery of 200
barrel capacity having two stills of 90
and $50 barrels capacity respectively.
The refinery established four years ago
as an experiment plant has gradually
grown, until its output is supplying
railroad systems with car, valve and
signal oils, the equal of which the
world has never found. 1t is known as
the Salt creek oil. and is produced 90
miles north of Casper, from eight wells,
owned by the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas
company. The oil is hauled by string
teams in tanks to the refinery.
The successes of this company have
induced the organization of others, and
Judge George 3. McCalmont of Casper
is now in Pittsburg, Pa, where he has
organized a company, and selecting a
drill outfit for operating in the Salt
creek basin.
Besides the Platte Valley Oil COM
pany, now drilling at Douglass the
Wyoming Oil syndicate, a Scranton
concern, has drilling machinery en- route
10 douglas, TO engage III Qr1lllnS on
large body of government lands, filed
on under the mineral land law. The
difficulty heretofore has been the ex-
cessive freight rates, though the Salt
creek oil is valued at from six to II
times as much as the oils of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana or West Virginia
fields.
The Wyoming Oil company, composed
of Colorado capitalists, has a well
down to the oil sand, but their opera
lions are suspended for the present,
though their machinery like that of the
Cudahy syndicate, is in place for drill
ing within few days notice. The oil
is an exclusive lubricant, and it's quail
ity can be attested by every locomotive
engineer on the Fremont, Elkhorn &
Missouri Valley railroad system. When
they are troubled with hot brass jour-
nails that cannot be cooled by the use
Of other oils. they cool off the hot joints
by the use of the Casper oil, while the
engine is kept running at a high rate
OF speed. The quantity is almost I'M
limited, and the outlook is, indeed,
gratifying to the oil land holders.

Coast Telephone Connection.

Boise Statesman: D. S. Murray, gen.
eral manager of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company, has arrived
from Salt Lake, to inaugurate the work
of building the long distance line to
connect with the coast system. He will
leave this morning, to drive over the
route
The line to be built by the Rocky
Mountain company will connect at
Huntington with a line built by the
Sunset company. The latter company
controls the territory to the west, but
works in conjunction with the corpora
ton owning the Idaho lines. The line
from Baker to Huntington is now being
constructed.
The material for the line from Boise
has been ordered, and is now on the
road. The wire will weigh 435 pounds
to the mile, being the same kind that
is used between New York and Chi
cago. 1t is very expensive, costing 16
cents a pound, or II cents laid down
here.
The line will probably go by way of
Willow Creek and the Payette valley,
