OIL BUSINESS
ON THE JUMP
Excitement Runs High Since fhe
Strike by Weaver d Co.
A BIG BOOM is PREDICTED

The excitement which was caused
by the big oil strike by Weaver &
Co. still continues undated. Oil
is the only thing talked of now and
it looks as if this big strike of oil
will be the cause of unbounded oil
prosperity
For the last three months there
has been an oil boom on in the
state and more particularly in the
Arkansas valley, and this boom will
now be greater than ever.
During the last two months no
less than a half dozen new oil
companies have been organized
here and two or three more are
now organizing. Land has been
secured by nearly all of them, and
even if they never intended drill
ing for oil, this new strike has
created such an impetus in the oil
producing business that these new
concerns are getting down to bust
ness and will soon be operating.
Every oil man in the county is
excited over the Weaver find and
everybody now will go after oil
with vim.
This well is the biggest that has
ever been found in Colorado and.
to say the least, it is a wonder
The character of the oil is the
same as that of other wells and is
of high commercial value. When
the OF came upin the hole it looked
as if gusher had been strnck. OF
all the oil wells that have been
fonnd in the Florence field this is
the first time that oil was ever
forced above the level of .he
ground, but in this case it was shot
above the walking beam.
Near the grounds upon which
this we'll was found are located the
properties owned by people from
all parts of the state. The location
is considered the best in the field
at the present time, as il is where
the strikes of the most importance
are being made
The TRIBUNE has often said that
oil in almost limitless quantities
could be found in what is now
known as the southern oil fields of
Florence, if sufficient depth was
attained The Weaver strike veri-
fies this prediction. Had Mr.,
Weaver abandoned the well at the
usual depth, which is about 2,200
feet, this big gusher-like well
would have never been found. 1t
is believed that the striking of oil
at such great depth will stimu-
late deep drilling henceforth 1t
Is said that this new find is equal
to any of the wells of the East
This big strike reminds oil men
of the big well that was struck by
the United Oil company eleven
years ago, and which, since that
time has produced over 100000
barrels. When struck, this well
did not gush the oil forth as much
as did this present strike, but it
produced about the same amount
daily at first. The oil excitement
here is at the highest point and it

without a touch of mourning drapery,
was the old familiar Mckinley cottage
on North market street, to which so
many distinguished men in the coun-
try have made pilgrimages in the days
that are gone. The blinds were drawn,
but there was no outward token OF the
blow that had robbed it CT its most
precious possession. The flowers
bloomed on the lawn as they did two
weeks ago. There was not even bow
of crepe upon the door when the
stricken widow was carried by Abner
Mckinley and DR.. Rixey through it
into the darkened home, from which
light, for her, had flown forever. Only
the hitching post at the curb in front
of the residence had been swatched
in black by the citizens, in order that
it might conform to the general
scheme OF decoration that had been
adopted.
Sad as was the procession which
bore the body to the court house,
where it lay in state ~ the afternoon,
it could not compare with the infinite
sadness of that endless double line OF
broken-hearted people who streamed
steadily through the dimly-lighted cor
ridors OF the building from the time
the coffin was opened until it was
taken home to the sorrowing widow at
nightfall. They stepped softly, lest
their footballs wake their friend from
his last long sleep. Tears came I'M
hidden to wet the bier.
Perhaps it was the great change
that hao come upon the countenance
which moved them more than the sight
OF the familiar features.
The signs of discoloration which ap-
peared upon the brow and cheeks on
Tuesday at the state ceremonial in
the rotunda OF the capitol at Wash
ington had deepened. The lips had be-
come livid. All but two of the lights
of the chandelier above the head were
extinguished, in order that the change
might appear less noticeable, but
every one who viewed the remains re-
marked the darkened features and the
CHASTITY lips. When the body was
taken away thousands were still in
line.
