JUAB OIL WELL
is GOING DOWN
Hole Was 100 Feet Deep at 3
O'clock YeSterday-Expect
to Get Oil This Week.

At O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Man
ager r. W. Dunn of the Juab Oil COM
pany wired from Juab that drilling was
commenced late Sunday afternoon. and
that, at the time the message was sent
the l0O-toOt mark had been reached. The
Dig drilling rig, the message said, was
started without a hitch and was working
ike charm.
THAT news sounds good to me, said
Secretary George r. Raymond. at the
company offices in The Herald building
Just before locking up to go to dinner
and l thoroughly believe that Colonel
Dunn promise to have the well finished
ana oil flowing I'm the Juab field by the
Fourth Of July is going to be fulfilled
The expert driller who has come out from
the east to put the rig in commission
and complete the first well on behalf of
the company that sold us the rig reached
the camp Saturday night and is now SUI
perVising the JOB. III nothing happens to
delay matters. he will have the well down
to a depth where DR.. Crandall, the Cali
fornia expert, declares we shall encOun-
ter fine flow of oil possibly by We'd
nesday night, and certainly not later than
Thursday or Friday. If he does. there
Will be some celebrating by the Juab com
pany on the Fourth. sure as you are
BORN
DR.. CrandaI has estimated that oil will
be encountered at about 400 feet posi-
bly, little less, at the point where the
company big rig is at work. and he has
predicted that it will show a flow of
800 barrels or more per day. In CalifOT-
MIA DR.. Crandall is rated as a marvel in
the matter OF locating oil and water He
uses delicate instruments of his own in
Ve1uon, by which he determines the
depth at which the oil can be found, and
II also records the quantity that may be
expected. The doctor has spent some time
in the Juab field on former occasion and
has predicted that the field will develop
into wonderful one. He happened down
there the other day. just as the rig was
being set up. and after prospecting around
a bit advised the moving of the rig about
800 feet from where it was. explaining
that, while twenty-five barrels. or such
a matter, could be reCkOned on there,
its moving would result in tapping
prolific pool
AS illustrating the ability of DR.. Gran
dali, it is said that when he went over
into the Spring Valley field. I'm Wyoming,
early last week, for California friends,
he went out 10 where a well had been
brought In and set his instrument to
work. In a minute or two he told the
men in charge that he figured the well
was making about six barrels a day. He
was told that his estimate was correct.
He is said TO have then gone on TO ground
distant from that we'll and found places
where much larger flows could be OBJ
tanned, but as his data was not compiled
for the benefit of anybody but friends
who persuaded him 20 go there with them.
results of his Investigations were not
released. The doctor is reported TO have
said. however. that the Spring Valley
field was good one
But never mind about Spring Valley
If the Juab field makes good, as IL IS
expected TO do. there will be more eX-
element i'm this old town and IN Juab
county within the next few months than
was ever seen I'm Utah.
