proved futile. Ia conversation
with your correspondent at San
Francisco, a gentleman Ia posi-
ton to speak with weight, said a
short time ago, that after carefully
watching all the wildcats drilled In
the northern country, his conclu-
sion was that there would be no
field Of any consequence opened.
Probably the coming field will be

where the Western Union has some

In the meantime oil we'll workers

and back east. Some shipments of
machinery are being made tv the
Middle West, and the impression
prevails that a goodly field will be
opened In Colorado. The National
Supply company this week sent
Gus Mahon from Los Angeles and
Denver to open a supply store at
that point, President Wilson and
Treasurer Hardee having come to
Les Angeles by Denver about a
fortnight ago. Fairbanks and
Morse have opened a store at Salt
Lake City, and represent the Oil
Well Supply company. During
the coming year much of the drill
Ing will be of the wildcat nature In
California, New Mexico, Washing
ton, Oregon, Utah and Colorado.
A few wells are now drilling at
Florence, and six derricks are NJ
at DeBeque. 265 miles west OF
Florence on the Grand River. A
few months ago land at DeBe que
was worth about six cents an acre,
while now without a single well
drilled on the slightest sign of oil,
1t Is held at fabulous prices. The
California OIL fever of two years
ago has been transferred to Colora-
do and the people of that state are
stock crazy. They like to be
buncoed and refuse to profit by the
experience of others. The Boulder
field Is the center of interest now,
and great things are expected from
the testimony o. the two wells com
pleted. The Florence Oil company
Is already largely interested Ia the
field, and has supply store there.
