OIL OPERATORS
LATEST MOVE
Eastern Combination to Invade
Field at Brigham City.
SECURED 5000 ACRES LAND
q. S. TRAM TERMINAL BURNED
WEEKS PRODUCTION.

Another big oil land deal has just
been closed in this city and. as a re-
suit by the middle of next month a
strong combination OF Pennsylvania
and Ohio talent will be pounding down
wells mile or so west and a little
south Of Brigham City. in Box Elder
county In the section named the Bear
River Gas g. Oil company has about
5000 acres of land. The eastern crowd
has taken up % per cent IF the stock
IN the corporation and agreed to have
The first Of a series of wells under way
within sixty days from the time the
agreements were signed. which was
several days ago. The purchasing syn
dictate has spent some time on the
ground and. before pulling out for
nome, gave assurances that not a mo-
ment's time would be lost in getting
work started. rs they had the utmost
a9ith I'm the outcome of their enterprise
The first well viii be sunk very near
10 the old Jensen gas wells property
where fine flow of gas was obtained
ABOUT twelve years ago, and which was
then utilized TO burn brick. The
amount of alkaH in the clay. however.
was such that good brick could not be
made and many of the great kilns are
time
Previous to the closing Of the deal
Swo Pennsylvania experts made a crit
zeal examination of the Bear River
company's holdings. and both agreed
that the possibilities of the field were
such as TO warrant energetic develop
ment. In many places the gas was
found OOzing from the ground through
springs. and when a match was ap-
piled the pools of water over which the
gas hung Immediately took on the ap-
pearance of burning craters- The OdOr
of this gas. the experts said, was iden-
teal with the petroleum gas of the in
diana fields, where it comes from the
Trenton limestOnes. and the opinion
was expressed that similar conditions
would be found at depth In lhe Brig
ham City field at a depth of anywhere
from 2,00O to 5000 feet.
Passing through the lands acquired
by the purchasing syndicate. the iden-
tty Of which is temporarily withheld
are the main lines of the Southern Pa
cific and Short Line railways, though
the former line viii soon be operated
merely as a branch on account Of
changing the main line to cross the
lake Between the tracks of these
roads is where the first well viii go
down.
Right after the 1st Of January the
operating crowd viii be on the ground
again, and machinery IS expected to
reach here ahead of them. The syndi-
cate, it may be said. Is little less &C
tive i'm the development of new oil re-
giOns than the powerful Gufey-Galey
combination. which took the initiative
in this section a short time ago This
fact will be understood when names are
released a little later.

GEN. j, c. BRECKENRIDGE.

The promotion of Brig. Gen. Joseph
G. Breckenridge to the rank of Major
General, means the retirement of that
excellent officer nearly three years be-
fore he reaches the age limit. He OPP
posed Secretary Roots plan to abolish
the Inspector Generals department,
and succeeded in having it retained.
The friction this caused between the
Secretary and Gen. Breckenridge and
the desire to promote another man te
his position, resulted in his promotion
on condition that he would retire.
Thus the army loses the best Inspector
General it ever had. Gen. Breckin.
ridge entered the army from Kentucky
in 1861, and was appointed to the reg
ular service for gallantry at Mil
Springs, Ky. He has filed every
grade up to Brigadier, and was made
Inspector General in 1881. He was
Major General of Volunteers at Santa
go, where his horse was shot under
him. He is a brother of Col. w. G. p
Breckenridge, who entered the Confed
crate service as a Captain. These two
brothers, who fought on opposite sides
during the war, were born Baltimore
but moved to Kentucky in early youth
Col. Breckenridge, who served in Con
gress from 1894 to 1895, is now editoria
writer for the Lexington Herald, which
is published by his son. Gen. JOSEPH
Cabell Breckenridge retires after NOR
than forty years of military service
and the army loses one of its most in
teIligent officers.

of the road in its relationship to the
