ticular weight. he began, however.
shortly after his arrival in tho city to
boar down on tho Blks and he will have
reason to remember that there are some
Elks residing in Grand Junction for
whom even the assumed superiority OF .

He is considerable wiser this morning
than he was last night after . slight &C.
quaintance with several Elks who united

first oil excitement in this vally. 1t oc-
CURED in 1888. A man by the name OF
Taylor, who was afterwards known by
the name of Coal Oil Taylor. dug a we'll
and salted it with refined oil. He dug
the we'll on the road to tho Little Salt
Wash country. about ono mile north OF
the Hunter and Vaughan ranches. He
came rushing into town after he had the
we'll salted to his taste and said that hs
had discovered oil. 1t caused an i'm
mense excitement among tho pioneers in
the valley and it is said that tinbers
were carried down to the spot whore he
had dug the we'll on the backs Of men. 80
eager were the men to erect derrick
and prosecute the discovery further.
When the mon had made 40 examination
Of the we'll bringing to the surface re-
6nsd oil, they knew at once that the man
had been attempting to dupe them.
The excitement says Mr.. Jay was none
the less greater at that time despite tho
small population, than it il at the pres
ent time over the possibilities of dis
covering oil.
