AN INTERESTING
ENJOYABLE TRIP
Visit of II. s. F1rfney end Daugh-
ter TO Colorado on Regions.
TRIP VALUABLE EXPERIENCE

H. s. Furtney and daughter,
Mrs. G. w. Friend, and their little
sons, returned Thursday from their
very pleasant trip through Kansas
and Colorado. Aside from the
pleasant visit with their relatives,
the trip was full of intense inter
est to the travellers, as such trips
are to all who visit that section of
Colorado. There is 30 much of
value and interest to be seen on
every hand, that one finds the time
all too short to get glimpse of
even half of it,
To say that they had grand
and enjoyable time puts it very
mildly, and thinking that a sketch
of the trip will be of interest to
our readers, we will attempt a
brief review of it
Passing the beauties of Colorado
Springs, and the grand oil city of
Pueblo, with it's population of
$4,000, and its beautiful union
depot, the party arrived in due
time at their destination Florence,
a pretty city of 5000 people.
Here they enjoyed moet pleas
ant week with the family of Mr..
and Mrs. w. L. Reiter, and were
shown many new and interesting
sights. Florence is the center of
a great oil field, and the derrioks
of over two hundred and fifty wells
can be seen dotted over the hills
in all directions and the great re-
fining works, where the oil is sepa-
rated and prepared for market are
truly wonderful sights. The oil is
put in great cylindrical boilers,
and there subjected to intense
heat, the lighter oil passing off in
the form of steam which after be-
ing conducted through miles of
piping coiled in vats of ice water,
is condensed and drawn off ready
for market.
The Florence oil is of very fine
quality, selling for 81 80 to 81 80 a
barrel at the well. Several of the
wells in the vicinity have been
flowing for period of fourteen
years and have earned immense
fortunes for their owners. The
wells are many of them $500 feet
in depth.
Well No. 40 has been running
for l41 years, producing 800 bar
rels a day. The derrick of this
we'll has been burned three times,
causing loss in time of pumping
of 18 hours, aside from this it has
never lost any time A sample of
the crude oil from this we'll was
brought home and is now to be
seen at this office. 1t is of very
fine quality, commanding higher
price than usual.
The United Co. has two re6ner-
les, the FLORENCE" hes one turning
out daily about 10 car loads of re-
fined oil. The United has drilled
800 wells of which lis are pro-
ducing oil now. The Florence o.
g. r. Co. have drilled 1876 wells
and have 86 producing wells now
The Phil. Griffith O. Co. has put
down 10 wells and 8 are heavy
producers which are making a
