the VIRGIN RIVER OIL FIELDS
Two Strong Companies Formed
and Active Work Is to Be
Started Immediately

Within the past two weeks two sub
stantial oil companies have been organ.
ized by Nevada and Utah mining cap
italists to develope the recently discov-
cred Virgin River oil fields in southern
Utah. One Of the stockholders and
officers in each Of the new companies is
our former fellow townsman, Bert l.
Smith.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune
one group in the new field consists of
1880 acres, upon which the first find OF
oil was made. The second contains 100
acres. and is located upon the same zone
n line not great distance to the east
of the first group.
The organization to take over the
1880 acre tract has been called the
southern Utah OIL Company. The
capitalization is 1000. 900 shares Of q
par value Of 81 each. or this capitali.
zatiou. $500 shares are reserved as
treasury stock. The stock in both or.
Ranizations is on-assessable. II. II.
CLARK is president. B. L. Smith, vice.
president; g. d. Porter. secretary and
treasurer. d. J. Smith and Z. L. Fer
rec complete the board of directors.
The company owning the 100 acre
tract has been christened the South
western Utah Oil Company. with the
same capitalization and the same
amount Of treasury stock as the first
above mentioned. B. L. Smith is the
president; H. H. Clark. vice. president !;
o. d. Porter. secretary and treasurer.
Il. F. Collett and Peter Porter complete
the board Of directors.
They are confident that the field will
open up into an ideal producing prop
osition, aud to that end every energy
of the companies will be directed. The
organizers intend to own their own pipe
line. and to drive as many wells as pos
sible. Gaping them until such time as
the conditions will admit Of marketing
the product. Two sinking outfits are
now on the way to Virgin City. and
within forty days active work will bs
started.
