OIL AND GAS IN WYOMING.
Reports on Douglas Field and Shoshone
River Region.

The oil and gas developments OF tn,
Douglas oil and gas field of Convers,
county, Wyo., by v. r. Barnett, geol
ogist of the United States geological
survey, are the subject OF a report just
issued
The first discovery of oil in the Doug
las field was probably made in 1894
when in the construction of an irriga
ton tunnel in the NWA sec. is, r. 81
n. r. 70 W., sandstone more or less
saturated with heavy oil was found in
the top of "Cloverly" formation. Since
this discovery several companies have
put down wells at different times until
at present some so or 60 borings are
scattered over the Brenning basin. When
drilling began the presence of gas in the
basin was little suspected, but number
of the wells have proved to contain
more gas than oil. In December, 1904
gas was struck at a depth of 435 feet
in well in see. 4, T. 30 NJ, r. 10 w.
in which, according to statement of j
3. Phillips in applying for title for
mineral claim, q pressure of 80 pounds
to the square inch was obtained when
tested two days later. The Douglas
Oil Fields Co. piped the gas to the adj
joining claim and used it for several
months under boiler for drilling and
for camp purposes. Gas from this well
in 1912 was still at the nearest house.
Oil is reported to have been found in
81 wells, gas in 220 wells, and water in
"a wells in this basin.
The survey report includes discus
ion OF the geology and mineral resources
of the Douglas field resulting from in
vestigations made for the purpose of
classifying the land by legal subdivis-
ions into mineral and nonmineral lands
and also detailed description of the
various oil and gas wells as well as
analysis of the oils and gas.
The same pamphlet contains a paper
by ID. f. Hewett, of the Geological Sur
vey, on the geology section along Sho-
shone river, Wyoming which was exam
med in detail with a view to using ii as
guide area south of the river in which
the geologic structure is favorable for
the accumulation of oil and gas.

DEPENDENT PERSONS
WILL GET PASSES
Pennsylvania Railroad Officials
Seek to Prevent Trouble;
Decisions Awaited

With the near approach of the time
for arranging pass lists for next year
officials of the Pennsylvania RallroaG
Company are endeaVoring to reach
some conclusions as to passes for chill
dren OF employees. There is no desire
to cut out any passes. but the company
wishes to avoid trouble through allow
ing people to use passes who are not
entitled to them.
one question that has been raised
frequently is regarding dependent
persons The rules allow employees to
have passes for the members of the
family dependent on them, but sons
and daughters who are working for a
livelihood and pay board at home are
not considered dependent persons.
However. there is a class who work.
but pay no board, and are dependent
upon the parent for part of their
clothing. In some cases the wife also
works.
The legal department of the COM
pany decided that, as a wife's earnings
went to her husband and We're a part
of his income. she was still depend
ent on him, even though she worked
and made money outside her home;
but, in the case of children, the ques-
tion was more complicated.
1t has been the custom of the COM
pany for some time that children who
earn S5 weekly or over are not de-
pendentS and cannot get passes, and
this is the basis on which all requests
have been granted or refused in the
past couple of years. However, some
complaints have lately been received
that the roads have no right to give
passes at all where the children earn
any money and the company has
again taken up the matter for dis
cussion.
So far there has been no decision,
at least affecting the entire system,
but it is expected that in the very
near future there will be some definite
plan adopted for all divisions upon
which the status of dependent mem
bers of employees families will be
fixed.
