an ordinary artesian well drilling out
fit.

that a well had been started down on
section Is, about three miles below
Juab station, in a shale formation. At
a depth of only eighty feet oil was
struck, but, as the drillers used lots of
water in the hole. there was no means
of definitely determining the quantity.
There was enough, however, to make It
apparent that the country has oil, and
that large quantities of il is pretty
certain TO be developed when the reg

been ordered for the field begin to ar
rive and when real work begins, sub
