Four Mile Creek, in Fremont
County, Shows Oil lndica-
tions.

Canon City, April 20.-A new
oil field will probably be developed
north of here as soon as drill
hole can be sunk to the proper
depth. There seems to be no
doubt in the minds of all oil men
who have viewed the ground that
rival to Florence, and perhaps to
some of the eastern fields, exists
six miles up -Four Mile, or, as that
stream was known 10 old timers,
Oil creek.
1t is hardly proper to speak OF
the field as a "new" one, since it
enjoys the distinction of having
produced the first petroleum in
Colorado and of having supported
the first refinery in the state Be
fore the white man became ac-
quainted with the location of the
source of it, the Indians brought
oil to them, trading it for other
things more Useful to Indians, al
though they regarded the oil as
possessing rare medicinal proper
ties. They informed the white
man that the oil boiled out of the
ground, as water did, and in 1889
a man by the name of Murphy was
taken to the oil spring. Murphy
saw the possibilities of the oil
business at so early date and i'm
mediately erected small refinery
and began the sale of kerosene.
Denver was the principal market
and he had ready sale for his en-
I
tire product at high price for
several years. or until the railroads
began to bring in the Pennsylva-
MIA oil. When the price fell the
refinery was shut down and event
ually went to ruin. and the place
was deserted after a couple of drill
holes had been sunk 300 or 400
feet without finding any more oil.
When oil was found at Florence
! n few years ago III sinking a well
! for water, interest was revived in
Oil creek, and several abortive eff
forts We're made to organize pros
pectlng companies.
But it looks now as though the
country was to be explored in a
practical manner. A company has
been formed of Florence and Can
on City men and machinery is be-
ing put in place for the first hole.
A large tract of ground has been
secured under lease or by location
which is to be punched full OF
holes, if necessary to make it pro-
ductive. The first hole will be
drilled about quarter of mile
north of the old oil spring.

The story of the Hope diamond-a story
already full of romance, mystery and
piquancy-has had another episode added
to it. Lord Francis Pelham Clinton Hope.
it's present possessor, was last week re-
strained by the court of chancery, sitting
in London, from disposing of 1t for sale.
The value Of this diamond Is variously
estimated at from eli, 900 to 925, 900. The
value of Lord Hopes other possessions IS
variously estimated at from zero to many
thousands less than zero This enumera-
ton of actual assets does not of course
include his wife, the winsome and eccen-
trio May Yohe, through whose historionic
talents the bankrupt spendthrift is alone
enabled to attain food, rairnent and pocll-
ct money. His counsel urged with some
show of right reasoning that inasuuch as
the gem was useless for ornament, 1t
would be wiser to sell 1t for the benefit
of Lord Hope and his heirs than to allow
it to lie in bank safe for the next forty
years.
But the Duke Of Newcastle, Lord
Hopes eldest brother. and Lady Beatrice
Lister-Kaye, his eldest sister, contested
the right of their impecunious brother to
sell family heirloom. and their conten-
ton was upheld by the court. The Hope
