Oil Indications Plentiful.

~ has been known for a uumbe
~ot years that oil exists in this por
tion of the valley. Several years
ago two wells were drilled on the
Hopkins ranch to secure water fol-
domestic purposes. In each the
water was SO thoroughly impreg-
mated with oil it was impossible to
use it. Samples of the oil were
sent to Denver, Salt Lake and Port
land to be tested and in each in
stance the analysis showed from 78
to 70 per cent pure oil. AS a result
of the test, H. A. Partridge and
John Bloomfield of Nampa leased
the land of belonging to Mr.. Hop
kins, and some development work
was done, but operations were soon
abandoned and the lease allowed to
expire. At that time considerable
oil excitement prevailed and num-
gerous claims were staked out on
government land on the Butte. At
other places, notably the John
Basye farm. the indications are
plentiful, oil seeping out of the
ground and covering pools of water.

Strong Flow of Gas.

| Another blowout occurred Tues
day at the we'll being bored for gas
at Payette. 1t was considerably
stronger than the one which occur
ed 10 days ago and threw water and
oil into the air more than 200 feet.
The we'll was plugged and Manager
Taylor says the company
has sufficient gas to furnish
gas to every house in the city. and
that the company would pipe the
gas over the city as soon as the
work could be accomplished. The
blowout occurred at 10 O'Clock and
came from the same depth, 725 feet,
as the first one. 1t came immedi-
ately after the sand which plugged
up the we'll at the time of the last
demonstration, was loosened. The
drillers have been cutting out the
sand in the we'll at the rate of about
eight feet per day since the former
blowout, until it was not over 40
feet deep in the we'll. When the
gas rushd up with titauic force. it
threw out boulders nearly as large
as mans head. Fine Samples of
the real oil sand that delighted the
eyes of the experts was scattered all
about the derrick. Pieces of Tren-
ton rock were thrown out with black
PARTICLES that look like high grade
coal. 1t was a great |
sight when rocks, sand. water and |
oil were being hurled high into the
air.
For nearly a half hour before the
blowoutoccured water and oil pour
ed over the top of the we'll in a
stream which was forced two or
.hree feet above the top of the cas-
ng. The we'll was being baled
out but the stream became so strong
hat it was necessary to take the
oaler from the we'll, and in a few
minutes the gas spouted A large
quantity of sand and rocks were
hrow out of the we'll. Oil is stand
ng about the derrick. although a
low of oil has not been tapped.
The oil which came into the we'll is
'elieved to be from lower depth
han the we'll is bored.
The company has oened an Office

ly at once to the city council for

NELSON BUYS MORE!
Adds Sixty Feet to His Main
Street Holdings.

Andrew Nelson of Sweet and
his partner, Mr.. Nich,ls of Salt
Lake. on Monday purchased from
u. w. Cook and Arthur Richards
go feet of the old Methodist church
block on Main street. The price
paid is reported to be 5000, or
500 per front foot. Mr.. Nelson
already owned 75 feet on the corner
adjoining. Upon this property
MI. Nelson will next spring erect
a handsome and modern building
of two or three stories. The
ground floor will be used for
store purposes aud the upper part
will be made into a theater. with
a seating capacity of 1000. Plans
are now being prepared in Boise
and will soon be ready to submit
to contractors. The foundation
work will probably be done this
winter.

Fields Extensive.

! 1t is quite probable that the en-
tire Payette valley from Horseshoe
Bend, at least, to the Snake river
as we'll as its tributary, the Squaw
creek valley, is underlaid with a
vast lake of oil and immense stor-
age reservoirs of gas. That is the
opinion of experts who have ex-
amined the territory and indica-
tions point to it as almost GER
tainty. If future developments
shall substantiate these claims, the
importance Of the field not only to
Idaho, but to the entire Northwest
cannot be estimated. 1t will solve
the fuel problem effectually and
provide cheap light for the farmer
as we'll as the city dweller. An
industry will be built up here that
will make this the richest valley in
the world. 1t is mighty good
news, and the fact that local COM
pany is to assist in the development
of this field should be a source of
congratulation TO every citizen of
this end of the valley. The COM
pany should have the encourage
ment and support of our people gen
orally.
There are conflicting opinions as
to the depth at which the oil de-
posits will be found. At Payette,
the we'll is 725 feet deep. but it is
the drill will be sunk
deeper. The company in charge

estimated the true source of supply
It not less than 1900 feet. He be-
ieves the presence of oil at less
lepth is due to cracks in the earth,
Trough which the oil is forced by
he volume below or by the gas
eeking a vent. h

containing oil and gas, was struck.
1t was SO hard, in fact, that further
drilling was discontinued. AT 40
feet strong flow of gas was en-
countered-so strong the pump had
to be removed every night to pre-
vent its being demolished The
water in the we'll today is within 20
feet of the top, but the noise of the
gas escaping and the bubbling of
the water from the pressure of the
gas below can be plainly heard.
In a we'll on the Andrew Nelson
farm oil is also present. At the
Canyon canal dam, on the farm
owned by F. J. Bliss, there are in
dications of oil, water from a we'll
there carrying scum of oil.

BORE FOR OIL and GAS

~ A million dollar corporation wa!
formed in Emmett yesterday after
noon for he purpose of developing
the oil and gas resources which are
confidently believed to underlie the
entire Payette valley for distance
Of 80 miles and the Squaw creek
valley for % or 80 miles.
So much enthusiasm as was
manifested at this meeting has not
been seen in this good old town
since Colonel Dewey built his rail
road to this point. Several meet
ings had been held previously to
talk over the propos tion and every
one of them was we'll attended.
Yesterday morning, when the news
reached the city of the strike in the
well being bored at Payette, the
climax was reached and enthusiasm
became rampant. Oil was on every
tongue and natural gas spouted
from every street corner. 1t took
just Is minutes by the clock to Sc
cure a $1,000 subscription to start
the ball rolling and inside of four
hours a company had been formed
with capital stock of one million
dollars. incorporation papers had
been made out and full set of
officers selected.
The name of the corporation is
the Emmett Oil and Gas Company. |
The directors are: c. P. Bilder

About Stoves.

Winter will be here in a little
while and it is time to be preparing
for it. We have received nearly
three carloads of stoves s-every kind
from the largest range to the small
sheet iron hoa blast. They are good
ones, too-the kind that our long
experience in the business has con-
vinced us to be the best made.
We bought them for the people
who will need stoves and we don't
want to keep them. So we have
made the prices low. Call and see
our fine display and learn how little
they cost considering their splendid
quality. Hawkins, Hardware.

A Geologist's Opinion.

About five years ago, geologi-
cal specialist was sent out from the
Smithsonian Institute to collect
specimens After careful investi-
cation orthe formation of this val
lev. he declared that both oil and
pas underlies this entire valley and
gave his scientific reasons therefor.
He also examined the so called
coal beds above Marsh and gave it
as his Onion that no coal existed
there; that the black rock which
mr7a resembles coal and which
buY1s readily, is simply mixture
of oil and dirt.
