OIL AT DE BEQUE.
PRODUCT OF GOOD QUALITY.
At Depth Of e25 Feet Flow Of Fair
Volume la Cut.

Volume ls Cut.
De BeQue, Colo, Jan. 14--A Denver
Republican special says: The drill mt
the well of the De Beque Oil and Devel-
ment Company went into an oil sand
about noon to-day, developing II flow of
oil that Is said by the drillers to lndi-
cate at least ten barrels day and
perhaps more. AS consequence De
Beque is wild with excitement tonight.
The strike was made ut depth of
615 feet. The oil is of an olive color
giving off strong smell Of kerosene,
and Is believed to contain n high per.
cent. of the illuminating quality.
That the oil is of paraffine base is
beyond question. When put In cold
place 1t becomes whitish and translu-
cent and of the consistency Of soft
lard. Several barrels of the oil have
been saved in baling from the well.
Indications Of the strike were seen last
week, when second flow of salty
water was encountered, giving of n
strong smell of petroleum. A new set
Of tubing was then put in necessitating
n temporary suspension Of drilling. In
consequence of this the present oil Is
brought out free from water or other
foreign matter.
This is the third strike Of oil In this
well. The first was at 200 feet, when
several buckets were secured. The sec
ond. at 1916 feet, produced even less,
but indicated high grade oil. The
present strike indicates pay well on
the authority of Professor Arthur
Lakes, who says:
Il am able to say that the present
flow of oil is encountered In the Lara
mie cretaceous, or coal measure sand
stones. The estimated distance below
the present depth to the Montana ere
taceous sandstones, in which the Flor
ence oil is found, is fIgm 1,5OO to 1000
feet"
1t will require day or so to ascer-
tain the exact flow in the well and
when this is done the question Of con-
tinuing down or torpedoing to ascertain
how much the flow can be increased
will be decided upon.

sary for the building of a fitting me-
mortal In his honor.
Wednesday, the Doth day of January,

1t has been suggested that this day
be set apart by all the schools of Colo
RADIO as MCKINLEY Day." and that it
be observed by them with special ex-
ercises BETTING the character of such
q man as our late President He was
a man who took great interest In the
welfare and happiness Of the children
Of our land. He ever had kind word
md loving hand to extend to them.
His heart was filled with tender men,
cries for the children, and his eyes
were ever watchful for an opportunity
to assist them.
As man he ever walked humbly be-
fore his Master, and the influences
which have gone forth from his inspir-
ing Christian life have done much to
upbuild and mold the nation in the
Christian faith.
Therefore, pursuant to the request
that has been made upon me, and by
virtue of the authority vested In me by
law, /, James b. Orman, governor of
the state of Colorado, dc most earnest

may suggest themselves as being a
most fitting and appropriate remem-
brance to a truly great and noble Chris
tian life, and that at such time an op.
portunity be given TO all to contribute
such sum to the memorial fund as they
may desire.
Each person or child making con-
tribution is requested to give his or her
name and postofiice address, with the
contribution, SO that suitable men,

discovered that Otis Hurley, one of

suspicious actions and made report
to the warden. A guard armed with
Winchester was detailed to watch
Hurley and was instructed to shoot
to kill IL he tried to get away. The
desperate opened his cell one night
and began work on the locks of the
big door when he was compelled to
beat a hasty retreat by Q. bullet from
the guards gun. For attempting to
escape he was punished and put in
solitary confinement. Guard Williams
