Petrolenm in Wvominp

The Lander and Salt creek oil fields
OF Wyoming are the subject of bulletin
No. 452--which has Just been reissueti
by the United States geological survey.
Oil was discovered in this field by Bonnie
vile in 1888, but until 1867 it was prac-
tcally unknown except to hunters and
trappers. The first drilling was done in
1888, and although the wells were pro-
ductive they were, on account of keen
competition, soon abandoned. For some
time the wells remained packed, but the
oil that flowed from them through the
leaks was utilized 10 some extent by
the ranchers for miles around as lubri-
cant and by the gold mines and -four
mills for steam making. Recently oper
ations at the wells have been resumed
on a more extensive scale.
The oil is adapted to several uses. 1t
forms an excellent fuel, comparing favor
ably with the Texas or California oils
and is now employed for that purpose
in practically all the development work
in the Little Popo Agile district of these
fields. Some of it can be used in its raw
state as lubricant, but in general it
is not suitable for that purpose. As the
oil contains heavy asphalt base, it is
good for oiling roads.
Perhaps the most interesting well in
the Salt creek oil field is one drilled IN
1910, which struck oil under pressure in
shale at a depth of l.I76 feet This well
yielded an unusually large amount of oil
