Company has been established.
Messrs. Thompson and Matthews
have returned to Guernsey from a
prospecting trip in the mountains,
bringing back with them several good

The greatest gas flow ever tapped
in Wyoming is sending gas at an enor-
nous pressure out of a 1000 foot well
sunk in the Byron field by the Ohio
Oil & Gas Company. The estimated
flow of the well is 12,397,00 cubic
feet daily.
While excavating in the basement
for the new National bank building in
Sheridan, crude oil was struck. The
petroleum was struck at a depth OF
nine feet and three inches which is
the exact depth of the basement. At
that level, the gravel formation ended
and one of the scoops dug a few inches
into black oily earth. The earth
gave out distinct odor Of crude oil.

Truth as to Mexican Situation.

Secretary Bryan's reference to the
Mexican situation as LEGACY from
the Taft administration" was not a
happy one. Compared with today the
Mexican situation was in embryo when
Mr.. Taft left the White House, very
properly refraining from inaugurating
definite policy with reference to SO
important subject within such a
short time of the Inauguration of his
successor. Mr.. Taft, it may be recalled
was extremely solicitous that the new
administration should be placed in
possession of all the facts and infor,
nation concerning Mexico, which had
come to the knowledge of the old one.
If the Mexican situation may be
termed a legacy. at least no one can
be accused of dissipating it.

 The Rivers and Harbors Bill is very important It provides money for the digging of harbors and canals and for the improvement of rivers If it not for this bill, only small-sized steamships would be able to enter New York harbor and only large-sized statesmen would be able to stay in Congress.
