that of the Inland Oil Company, struck
Wednesday afternoon near Niwot, in
Boulder county. where Well No. 13 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 a 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
n 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 10
Gated northeast OF Boulder, about half
a mile north of the Big Liz well, owned
by an English company. which to date
has been the best oil producer in the
county. yielding the owners a royalty
OF $500 n month.
The Inland company is now engaged
in sinking another well adjacent to the
big gusher.

Pueblo.-In the presence of an i'm
mense throng, the cornerstone Of the
new Pueblo county court house was
laid at, 2:30 Thursday afternoon with
the services which have been used
from time immemorial by the Masons.
Grand Master John B. Haffy of Del
Norte was the master of ceremonies
and was assisted by other grand Off
GERS.
The ceremonies began with a parade
from the rooms of Pueblo Lodge No.
II. the senior lodge of the city. Head
ed by a band. the Masons marched up
the main street to Tenth to the court
house site.
There they formed in double line
and the grand master and his asso-
ciates were escorted to the large tenn
porary platform. After they had taken
their seats, 800 Masons were seated
around them.
The ceremonies concluded with an
address by former Gov. Alva Adams.
Within the copper box. which was
placed in the cornerstone, were copies
Of all the Pueblo newspapers and
many documents from the fraternal
and benevolent order. photographs of
prominent men Of the city and state.

the average value of ore handled
made up the loss. For the week
