when Kidder was distributing goods
to his customers. Kidder didn't know

Oil in Wyoming,

Editor Oil Review: .
Dear Sir:-An oil strike that
deserves more than passing notice
is one recently made near More
croft, Wyo. The oil is of high
ly lubricating character and ac-
cording to E. S. Hickey, one OF
the principal owners of the prop
erty, the oil brings Sc barrel
crude. The Morecroft field Is a
new one, but very promising.
Nearly every well put down is an
oiler and the quality of the oil
is of such high grade that but lit
tie refining is necessary to render
it fit for the fabrication of light
machinery while in its crude state
it is an excellent lubricant for
heavy machinery. Mr.. Hickey
states that so far no gushers have
been struck and none are expect
ed, as the oil is of too high a
grade to exist in tremendous
quantities. The wells in which he
is interested have an average
depth of 500 feet of oil in them.
The stock of the company operat-
ing in the new Morecroft field is
owned entirely by capitalists of
Butte, Mont. For some time past
party, supposed to be an expert,
has been examining the surface
indications of this new field. This
supposed expert positively de-
clines to say who he represents,
but it is believed he is Standard
Oil expert who is examining the
field for the purpose of making a
report. Another oil strike is re-
ported in between Montana, north
of the city of Missoula, but at this
time details are meager. Guffey
& Galley have again resumed OPP
erations on their well at Farming
ton, Utah. The cause of tempo
rary suspension was the lack of
casing. According to the super
intendent the drill has entered a
mass of iron pyrites at depth of
a little over 2000 feet. Another
payment on the property has been
made by Guffey & Galley and this
is held to be good evidence of
their faith in the new Utah field.
