it has been more real pleasure to treat

spend their money by making the more
unfortunate children happy. And
these children will never forget it.

OIL BOOM FOR
VIRGIN FIELD
Three Wells Now Approaching
Strata That Is Going to
Make a Noise.

Don't think because we got a rather
hard setback when the panic hit the
country a couple Of years ago, that the
Virgin river oil field has been aban-
doned or that it is no good" said H. I.
Sutton of the Virgin Valley Enterprise,
now visiting In Salt Lake, yesterday.
Work is now under way that Will, IN
the near future, convince the world that
the field Is big and a rich one"
Mr.. Sutton states that the Virgin Val
ley Oil company. a corporation composed
almost entirely Of Washington and Iron
county people, is working day and night,
with fine rig and experienced drillers
on q well southeast Of Virgin City. A
depth OF l. $50 feet has now been reached
and the expectation is that the second oil
bearing sand strata, which is all of forty
feet thick, as against about four and q
half feet for the strata in which the
present wells exist will be encountered
at LOO to 1900 feet deep, If the ground
continues as good to work in as that now
being passed through, the objective point
ought to be reached during the next six
weeks, or such a matter and then, in the
opinion OF Mr. Sutton the real oil boom
for the southern country wi llbe started
Another well owned and being sunk by
the Glenn-COllusa company, about seven
miles southwest Of Virgin, at Goulds
ranch, is down about the same depth as
the Virgin Valley well, and results are
counted upon at that point as well.
Another important piece Of work IS go
north and a little east of Virgin. The
Interstate Oil company, which has been
prospecting other ground in the field, has
acquired this Mckenzie well, which was
sunk to the first sands and opened UP
oil, for the purpose Of continuing it on
down to the second sand. c. z. Will
cox, an experienced oil man and one Of
the party to sink the first well in the
district, is in charge of operations at the
old McKenzies we'll and promises to bring
in a big well in that portion of the field
when the deep sand is reached.
There is nothing at all the matter with
the strikes that have been previously
made in the field" said Mr.. Sutton. "only
that they were made in the first oil
bearing strata. which is not thick enough
to make big producing wells Were the
wells brought in closer to the railroad
they would be profitable. as it is but
the deeper and more highly productive
sands must be reached before the field
can be shown sufficiently productive to
interest the big capitalists and have a
railroad built into the country I have
had much experience in the oil fields of
this COupntry and I want to say that the
Virgin field in my judgment, is going
to prove a duplication of the western
Pennsylvania oil basin, only that it is
much larger. We shall have good news
for the country before this year is over, l
feel certain"
