This is the FIRST consignment oi

About $50 Mexicans have also
been contracted for. making a

A NJ. Hunter. OF Boulder. the
man with an electrical device for
locating oil veins. was in town
last Tuesday, and located the site
for the oil well to be sunk by the
La Jun,a Oil and Gas Compan,
about two miles south CT town
Mr.. Hunter says that the oil veins
in this vicinity are from twenty
three to thirty feet wide. The oil
Veins in Boulder are only from
four to Six feet wide, and those at
Manzanola from eighteen to TWEEN
ty fee, wide He thinks the pros
pect for oil near La Jnnta is ex
cellent The company expect
its derrick timbers to arrive in
about FIVE weeks, and boring for
oil will be commenced immedi-
ately.

c. II. McVay, the oil and ar.
tesian well expert, was in town
yesterday morning between trains,
while on his way to Holly. MIR.
McVay say that the artesian well
for the Santa Fe, north and west
OF the coal chutes, was completed
Tuesday. The we'll is 642 feet in
depth, and water comes to within
200 feet Of the top The first
we'll put down for the Santa Fe by
Mr., McVay had flow Of fifty gal,
Ions to the minute. The Santa
Fe now has seven wells, and all of
them have to be pumped. He
says that il is only question Of
time until the supply OF water is
exhausted, unless the wells are
placed II greater distance from
each other. MIR. McVay will inn
mediately commence work for the
Santa Fe upon another we'll,
which is to be located near the
storehouse.
p Regarding the oil outlook at
Boulder, Mr.. McVay says ,ha,
only four wells ou, OF the twelve
that have been sunk, are yielding
profitabiy. The Mckenzie and
Republic wells yield about eigh-
teen barrels per day each and the
market price for the oil is So so
per barrel. The expense of oper.
ating the pumps in the wells is
about s. per day, SO it is evident
that no very great number Of per.
sons will get rich in the Boulder
oil district. Mr.. McVavestimates
that by the middle Of July 81. 900, :
900 will have been spent in devel
opment work at Boulder, and that
the profits realized will not exceed
$3.50, 900. He expects the Boul
der oil bubble to burst altogether
within Il e course OF the next two
months.
