dicate the activity of animal life
at that time. From this evidence
the following conclusions may be
drawn:
lst. The Florence oil horizon is
in the Colorado cretaceous shales,
usually about $500 feet below the
overlying Laramie or coal sand
stone.
End If wells are bored in mn en-
deavor to strike oil at lower hori-
zon it will be found either in the
Niobrara limestone, or the thin
strata of sandstone directly under
it, or if not in the Niobrara period
then in the Jurassic period at
depth of 800 feet or by piercing
the jurassic at depth of 800 feet
below the Niobrara limestone.
3rd. If oil is not found either in
the Niobrara period OF the Jurassic
formation then it is useless to
bore deeper since the red sand
stones exist and are one almost
unbroken formation about mile
in thickness.
4th. Florence oil has not been

layers of limestone and usually a
layer of gypsum rock varying in
depth from one to twenty feet.
The total depth of the Jusassic is
not less than 300 feet and then the
red sandstones are reached. The
red sandstones, as seen upturned
in the foothills of the Garden of
the Gods, Manitou, or lying fiat
and gashed open rs in the Grand
Canon of the Colorado, are about
one mile in thickness which should
be remembered by eastern oil men
who come to the Florence field and
become deluded with the eastern
mania of Kane" and Trenton
rock" etc.
Thus it will be seen that the
formations of the Rocky Mountain
regions are much more recent than
those of the eastern part of the
United States where oil is formed
In fact over two miles, geologically,
of formations have been deposited
here and now overly the formations
in which eastern oil is found. The
older formations as outcropped in
the east, viz: cambrian, silurian,
devonian or carboniferous, these
being exposed here only OCCASION
ally when upheaved in the foot
hills, lying at an angle of from
forty-tive to ninety degrees, but
usually the Triassic or red sand
stone lies directly on the Archsen
granite with the older formations
disappearing entirely.
This will surely explode the old
and misleading theory that all oil
originates in the Trenton rock, but
the most conclusive evidence is
shown that oil found in Colorado
cretacious shales was formed at a
lower depth, Great animal activi
ty existed during the Niobrara
period as numerous fossils of huge
oysters and other animal life would
have made conditions favorable
for the oil to have been formed in
that formation, but if not there
then it must have been during
the Jurassic period lying at a
depth of about 600 feet nnder the
Niobrara limestone, as the huge
skeleton of Dynosaurus would in
