close beside the main road to Bos-

gas on an extensive scale In this por-
ton Of the West The Standard Oil
Company is installing at Boulder an
extracting plant to separate the gaso-
line from the natural gas. The plant
will cost 100000. The gas runs two
to seven gallons Of u fine quality Of
gasoline to the thousand feet. Bould-
err Is producing 100000 cubic feet Of
gas daily. which will be sufficient, 1t
is believed, to supply the big towns
Of northern Colorado. State Oil In
spector Claude Z. Sweet will refer to
the new plana In his annual report to
the governor The plans have been
considered for 5ome time by the
Standard Oil Company and will be car
ried out as soon as the extractor is
installed. Il am informed" said Mr..
Sweet. that the Ens will be better
than the ordinary kind because it will
go through a system Of refinement.
II is believed the supply can be fur
nished cheaper than by coal produc-
ton. There is only one small natural
gas plant in Colorado at the present,
but this scheme will be on a large
scale" The Boulder field this year
has produced $4,000 barrels of crude
oil. worth $3.50 barrel. II carries
nineteen to twenty per cent gasoline.
The refineries there produced SOC. 1000
gallons of fuel and gas oil and 1.0o0.-
900 gallons OF coal oil and gasoline.
The Florence field has produced 200.-
900 barrels Of crude oil, valued at 81
a barrel. The two refineries near
Florence produced 100000 gallons Of
gasoline and coal oil. 100000 gallons
OF fuel and gas oil. 100000 gallons
smudge oil for the Western Slope.
1000. 900 gallons lubricating oil. and
