Great SHOUTING Oil Wen.

Denver.-A News special from Boul.
der says: The biggest oil well ever
struck in the state of Colorado was
that of the Inland Oil Company, struck
Wednesday afternoon near Niwot, in
Boulder county, where Well No. 10 in
the process of drilling, spouted an
eight-inch oil stream seventy.five feet
into the air. scattering several hundred
barrels of oil and giving the oil COM
pany tremendous job to get the
well under control. The well is the
only flowing oil well in the Boulder
field. 1t is flowing close to 200 barrels
a day, and the company is receiving
the oil in the tanks near the well.
All other wells in the Boulder field
have to be pumped, and yield only a
few barrels each day. The well is To-
Gated northeast of Boulder, about half
a mile north of the Big Liz well, owned
J by an English company, which to date
has been the best oil producer in the
county, yielding the owners a royalty
of $500 month.
The Inland company is now engaged
in sinking another well adjacent to the
big gusher.
