Grand Junction. Colo.-,Oil and gas
in considerable quantity have been
discovered near Redvale, San Miguel
county, in a well drilled for artesian
water. The discovery was made at a
depth of $50 feet. The prospects are
splendid for new oil field.
More than 10000 acres have been
filed upon as oil land and the rush
continues. A company has been formed
practically with unlimited capital,
headed by Chaloner B. Schley of
Colorado Springs ana Bulkeley Wells
of Telluride to develop the field on a
large scale.
The new field is located on the line
of the much-talked of North and South
railroad between Albuquerque and
Grand Junction. Its nearest railroad
point at this time is Placerville, on the
Denver and Rio Grande. fifty miles
away.
While the existence Of oil in the

biologists, surface indications, such as
appear in many other fields are wholly
lacking, making the recent discovery
wholly unexpected.
