AN OIL LOCATOR.

The man who can, with any de
gree of certainty, locate an oil
well, is in great demand. The
time honored method of proving
oil land is by drilling, on the
theory that the drill can make no
mistake. Many people have held,
and still do hold, that IA man who
Processes ability to determine
definitely whether or not oil can be
had at Il certain point by drilling
is charlatan and should be III
Jail But the drill is not by any
means infallible In many in
stances tools become lost, the hole
goes crooked. or the mo ey gives
out, and so the well is abandoned
As II matter of fact. many first
class producing oil wells are
claimed for the locator, quite IA
number os them in this field.
H. McDougall has originated
and constructed scientific oil To-
eating instrument which he claims
will locate oil. In fact, he has
plenty of references to good wells
which he has located in the Flor
ence, DeBeque, and in the West
Virginia and Ohio oil fields. Mr..
McDougall is IA college man, an
expert chemist, and does not in
hict himself upon people who are
desirous of drilling oil wells, He
makes locations, and is now at
Chester Hill, Ohio, where he has
located six oil well during the last
six months, all of which came in
good producers, and all of which
are producing today, McDougall,

COLUMBIA OIL COMPANY

The Columbia Oil. Mining and
Development company.is one ofthe
new oil companies organized dur

holdings. 1t controls in ali some
thing over 5000 acres of well locat-
ed oil lands, over 1900 of this
being in one solid body taken un-
der the oil placer act and which the
company will own outright, the
remainder being leased land, all of
which is good oil land Any one
quarter section of this, if developed
with wells as close as they are in
some parts of this field, you'd

belief that an instrument could be
SO constructed that it would re-

to Florence to get some fishing

T. f. Spencer, the veteran oil well
supply man. Mr.. Spencer hap
pened to remark that he believed
oil WAS under his property on East

he could determine whether there
was or not. And he thereupon
made ii tour of the ground with his
instrument, pronounclng mo oil.
Mr. Spencer says:
Il became interested at once,
and finally got McDougall to at
tempt to follow some of the oil
veins near Sand creek. This he
did, pointing out wells which had
been heavy producers and those
which had been small producers.
He explained the nearness of these
wells to the oil veins, and why
some were big wells and some
small wells. He also stated the
width of the oil veins. Our ac-

The first home of the house was

Such a Loving Cuss.

Business men, property owners and
others who live in Idaho Springs, have
no objection to conversing and having a
friendly visit paid them by George w.
Meyers, who now makes his headquar-
ters in Georgetown. But it so happened
that on Monday morning of this week,
bright and early, Mr.. Meyers, acting in
the capacity of county assessor, slipped
quietly into the city, That is where the
kick comes in. If the honorable gentle
man had come as visitor in friendly
way he would have received a much
warmer welcome, but as it was he did
pretty well, considering the fact that he
was handing the good people of this vi
cinity tax schedule, at the same time
notifying them that it would be to their
own interests to see that an early and
proper return was made thereof. Mr..
Meyers remained in the city all week, and
said that it did his heart good to see his
old friends in his own home.

In placing decorations on the graves of
