OIL! OIL!
CPagosa Springs Times)

lTdPoSd springs llmeS).
Late yesterday evening the Pagosa
Land Oil & Coal company, drilling
southwest of town, struck flow of
oil in sufficient quantities to force the
water over a foot above the eight-inch
casing, bring up large quantities of
oil sand from the bottom. The well
has had flowing water for some time
past, and taking this fact into consid-
GRAFTON, it shows the pressure on the
oil forcing it up through such a vol
ume of water.
Drilling was stopped Immediately
and work was started at once to case
the well and shut off the flow of wa
ter. This well has showed encour-
aging signs from the start and they
have had some oil for the past two
weeks. but the flow encountered yes
terday makes 1t absolutely certain
that an immense body of oil underlies
the entire district.
Chapson Brothers were in the city
yesterday and informed us that the
well being put down by the Colorado
Mutual Oil Co was through the boul--
ders that have been giving them so
much trouble for the past week, and
are now drilling in a solid sandstone
formation making rapid progress.
The Home Oil e. Fuel Co. have let
the contract to w. A. Kester to build
their derrick and work will commence
at once. They have the engine and
boiler already on the well site and
the drilling machinery on the way.
The Colorado Exploration Co. have
finished casing their well in Coyote
Park and have resumed drilling. We
are unable to get particulars from
there but know they are reaching ear
nestly for the oil that lies beneath
them.

The streets and sidewalks are in

so.

plices in other cities who sold the
stolen property.
The capture of the Lane family has

sand miners from all over the San
Juan hills acted as guards of honor
at the funeral of the "a dead miners
this afternoon.
TELLURIDE, Nov. 23.-The Min.
ers' Union members. are very bitter
regarding the recent accident. This
feeling is on account of all the shift
bosses and men in charge of the tun-
mel being non-union men. The un-
ion miners say their members would
have been more experienced and
would have exercised more care.
Ever since the strike and riots last
spring strained relations have exist
ed between the management OF the
mine and the union. This natur-
ally intensifies the bitterness of the
prevailing feeling. In side the mine
the men were all union.
