GEOLOGICAL FORMATION

The Florence oil field has three
known zones which are separate
and distinct The first wells of the
district were sunk to depths vary
ing from 100 to 1,300 feet and
small wells are still being opened
up at that depth. The next zone
lies between 1850 and 2,200 feet
deep and many good producers
have been opened at this depth.
The third and lowest zone lies be-
tween $3.50 and $500 feet deep
while well No. 257, sunk to 1850
feet depth and showing rich shale
but a small flow, indicates another
lower zone. 1t is the opinion of
Mr.. Wallace, who has made close
study of the formation in thss sec
ton, that Florence is in basin of
one of the last great inland lakes
or seas. The geological formation
of the country seems to bear this
view out, being continually proved
by the disclosures made in drilling
the wells.
Florence is near the edge of an
immense basin with Canon City.
nine miles west, near the top on
one side, and Beaver, between
Florence and Pueblo, near the top
on the east side. The top geolo-
gical formation in this basin is the
sandstone, clay and coal of the
Laramie group. This varies in
thickness but at no point is proba-
bly, deeper than 500 feet. Below
this comes the Montana cretaceous
formation which holds the Pierre
and Foxhills oil-bearing shale. 1t
is in this formation that the oil is
found. Many prominent western
geologists who have studied this

limits d short distance from the
refinery, is one of the most remark
able wells in the world The well
was struck about l3 years ago and
for several years produced at the
rate of $50 barrels per day Then
the flow began to fall off but it is
still producing from 40 to 80 bar
rels per day. In the l3 years it
has been producing it has pumped
over 100000 barrels of oil. No. 40
has produced over a million dollars
worth of oil by itself and has prov
ed little bonanza.
Well No. 257, although not a
heavy producer, also holds rec
ord. 1t was drilled to "A depth of
$3.50 feet and is the deepest hole
in the world outside of the Penn
sylvania field. This hole was sunk
for testing purposes, the intention
being to go as deep as possible in
order to determine the formation.
AT $3.50 feet depth the engine re-
fused to work the drill. AT this
depth the shale was found rich in
oil 1t was the richness of the oil
shale at this depth that persuaded
Mr.. Wallace to try deep wells and
he sank well No. 267 at Williams
burg to depth of 2765 and got "a
good producer. Only little oil
was found going down this dis
tance until the 2,750 point was
reached and this well demonstrated
the existence of new zone. Up
to this point it had been customary
to drill $500 feet and then, if oil
was not found, to abandon the hole.
AS result of the showing of No.
257 at 1850 feet and the success
of No. 267 at 2765 feet depth, the
United Oil company is drilling
near Williamsburg with the hope
of going through the Montana
shale, total depth of 5000 feet.
This will be the second deepest
well in the world if the depth of
5000 feet is attained, and it is the

1t is an oft repeated statement that
the tariff is responsible for the trusts.
and this seems to be true. While
President Roosevelt in his message
does not Say this in SO many words he
practically assumes it's truth and ad-
mlts that such is the case. The argu-
mentS from which this conclusion
may be deduced are substantially:
first, that the tariff is the greatest
factor in producing prosperity, and
second. that prosperity, not hard
times, gives us the trusts. Following
up this thought, he concludes that the
the remedy for the trusts is not in
free trade, for that would destroy all
weak competition and still leave the
powerful trust in a position to carry
on its work, but that it is in recipro-
city tiFeaatGS, which method he con-
siders, the best for doing away with
a tariff after it ceases to be protective
ia nature, and that Slight inequalities
maybe adjusted by lowering of the
tariff.
