WIOMiNG'S ENDE

lOMiNG'S UADEVELOPED on FIELDS
The annual report of the United
States. geological survey for the wears
1S9S-90, Just issued, contains. among
other interesting material, Il review of
the petroleum esource of the United
States. The reference to Wyoming re.
inforces what The Bee has emphasized
from time to time that Wyoming con
tnins oil fields which when fully devel-
oped will make that state the oil cen
ter of the world and equal the record
of the great oil discoveries in Pennsyl-
vania. To quote from the report:
Wyoming has a number of natural pc
troleum springs scattered at intervals. ex-
tending from the southwestern corner to the
northeastern corner. This line is crossed
by another line of petroleum springs in a
general east and west direction, extending
for 100 miles near the center of the state.
At the several localities wells have been
drilled that have generally found oil,
There are some fifteen distinct pools in
which natural oil springs exist and two To-
~calities in which wells have been drilled
that have produced petroleum.. The great
inland valleys and plains, with their ridges
and mountain chains extending for many
miles with synclinal and anticlinal folds,
have at numerous points been cut through
by streams that have exposed the rocks
down to the observation-disclosures, the ~triassic
and the jurassic, and the individual members
of the great cretaceous formation. There
are numerous points at which the rocks of
this cretaceous formation are discharging
dark, heavy petroleum until miniature lakes
are formed. At other points they are sat
urated with it, where they come to the sur
face. At others natural gas is seen bubbling
UP in pools OF water. All of these facts
seem to indicate that Wyoming will one day
produce a large amount of petroleum., al
though many natural difficulties will have to
be overcome.
The table of production shows that
the oil output of Wyoming has in
creased from 1860 barrels in 1894 to
5,475 barrels in 1898, or more than
doubled in five years. There is no
question but what the Investment Of
capital in the Wyoming oil regions of.
fers more promising prospects than any
other O~il-producing section because its
vast resources have not yet been in any
degree exploited. The natural Difficult
ties to which the report refers are be-
ing gradually overcome by the extern
sion Of railroads into the state, while
pipe line facilities from the mountains
down the steady declivity toward
Omaha as the logical Missouri river
point for refining would obviate all the
Instructions arising from lack of rail
roads or high transportation charges.
1t is safe to say that the invitation
contained In Wyoming's oil resources
cannot remain open much longer with
out being accepted by some great syn
dictate of capitalists. The development
of these oil fields would mean much not
only for Wyoming, but for Nebraska
and all of its ~neighboring states.

The recent growth of local insurance
institutions in Omaha and Nebraska
points out another field in which local
interest can be built up by extending
the principle at the foundation of the
home patronage movement. Neighbour
ing states like Iowa, Missouri and Kan
sas have thus far outrankcd Nebraska
in the. establishment of strong western
insurance companies, but Nebraska is
gradually closing up the gap. BY sup
porting home institutions of this kind
all the benefits accruing are kept N
home. There is no good reason why
Nebraska insurance companies should
not grow as strong and popular as any
in the country.
