cided to come to the city and report
the matter to the Hon. Lee Champion,
who is one of the board of directors of
the company. Mr.. Champion, acom-
panied by Fred w. Bailey of Denver,
drove out to the well at once. The
bailer was then run steadily until 10
o'clock without reducing the height of
the oil in the hole, which persistently
stood at height of !, 100 feet.
This well il located only 1900 feet
from well No. 270 of the United Oil
