THE FLORENCE OIL DISTRICT

The oil district at Florence has
been thus far the only important
producing area in this state, and
more development work has been
done there than in all others put
together.
But recent discoveries in the
Florence district serve to strength
en- the belief. which has been
quite generally held, that this oil
field is capable of large extentlon
both in area and in productive
ability.
The recent interest in oil prom
ises to add greatly to the impor-
tance of this industry in our state,
and it is an illustration of how
much good might be accomplished
in many ways by the application
of capital in an intelligent manner
to our varied resources. Colorado
