Northwestern Road IL Preparing
TO Convert Locomotives
Into OIL burners.

The first gusher in the sand Creek oil
producing section Of Wyoming was struck
last Friday at a depth OF a little less
than 1900 feet. The we'll is producing
1000 barrels Of oil per day. While the
flow is not under control the oil is being
saved by being run off into a reservoir.
The gusher was struck by the Midwest
Oil company and is on a school section
leased from the state OF Wyoming. forty
miles northwest OF Casper. Being close
to the pipe line already constructed by
the Midwest company 1t will be piped
down to Casper and to the refinerles
there. The flow Of the new well is steady
and shows no signs of falling Of.
Operators Are Inspired.
Inspired by the success that has sc-
companied the drilling during the last
few months and the bringing in of tho
new we'll, the oil producers of central
Wyoming have called convention Of
oil men at Casper for May . and ., at
which time steps will be taken looking
to the extension OF the oil industries.
Having. faith in the Wyoming oil for
fuel purposes the Northwestern road has
equipped thirtysix Of its engines WORK
ing west Of Norfolk with oil burners and
completed the construction Of a large
quantity of tankage there. 1t also has
fifteen new tank cars, with a capacity
of 1000 gallons OF oil each. on the way
TO go into the service.
Of all NJ the fifty-seyen anPineu uesd
on the Northwestern west OF Omaha not
one is burning coal shipped from east Of
the Missouri river. Those that are not
using oil are burning coal from the Wye
ming fields. Plans are now being ma
tured for converting the engines east 81
Norfolk into oil burners. and probably
within ninety days every engine on the
line in Nebraska and Wyoming will be
using oil for fuel.

commission men and western stock rails
ers- Tuesday 1t was announced that the

being paid now ranges all the way from
