of these lands on both sides OF the state
line have been located during the past
three years. but up to the present time
the actual work Of prospecting the field
has been confined 10 the COLORADO side
Where seven wells have been completed
during the year just closed These wells
vary from 1000 TO 200 feet in depth
and in every one of these is from 500
feet TO 1000 feet of oil. The oil found
in this field shows by analysis that it
contains so per cent illuminating oil. 10
per cent gasoline. I per cent parafine
wax and 1 per cent waste, making it
one of the best oils in the United states
In it's crude state it burns readily in an
ordinary lamp. giving off bright light
by trimming the wick every few hours
which is made necessary by the wax
collecting in il.
The amount of ell that could be taken
from these wells is an unknown guam
tity. None Of them have been shot as
yet. as the distance from railroad has
made it impossible to get the oil 70
market, but the completion of the
Uintah railway in a measure solves the
difficulty, and a pipe line to the end of
the road Is enc of the talked Of possi-
bilitieS for the coming year.
The oil is found in what is known as
the Colorado shaIe, and whenever this
has been penetrated flow has been en-
COunIeTeQ- The success with the wells
that have been thus far sunk makes
OF this a promising field. and the sight
of oil derricks along the entire belt in
the next year is not an imprObab ole
dream
Activity and interest in the Drec-
lous metals has been rather limited
during the year, as there is q general
disinclination to await the advent of
the railroad. At the old Dyer mine
twenty-five miles north of Vernal, a
Smelter run was recently made and 1867
600 pounds Of copper bullion run out
which was shipped to Boston by way

believe that ties and rails will be laid
in the near future that Will give trans
pOrtation facilities for the entire Uin-
tab basin, and place the ores of the en-
tire hydro-carbon belt within reach Of
the market.
That the building of the Uintah rail-
way and the prospect of the construc-
ton of the Moffat road means much for
this section cannot be doubted. The
gilsoEite industry alone is bound to in
crease in Importance immensely in the
next few years by reason of the de-
creased cost of production. While there
were very many uses to which the stuff
has been put, and these uses were in
creasing steadily, yet there still were
many others for which it was adapted,
for which il could not be used profit
ably because of the cost. In the coat
ing of barbed wire, for instance, and BIZ
cycle frames, etc. the manufacturers
were forced. owing TO keen competition.
to use a cheap mixture that answered
the purpose, but lacks the polish of gill
sonite. The cutting off of the expens-
i've freight charges, when hauled by
wagon, viii enable the company to fur
nish the manufacturers with the pre-
pared gilsouite as cheaply as they can
get the inferior article, and before

In the Jesse Ewing district in the
northeastern corner of the county,
nothing more than assessment work
has been done during the year. Con-
siderable interest i'm this district has
been created during the year by the
repeated tests that have been mace to
demonstrate the existence Of vanadiun
IN the ores. That it does exist is now
considered beyond question but as vet
no SyStelna tic work TO determine its
extent has been undertaken. In many
places IN this district rich copper ore

awaiting the influx Of capital that Is
anticipated as A result of the advent cf

He Is known to be in direct communi-
