Little Worthy of Note As to Oil.

Outside of a few minor activities and be-
lated oil discovery in December, there has oc-
Cured little worthy Of note in the oil industry
in Utah during 1916. The excitement and ac-
tivty has been confined mostly to Wyoming.
Our sister state is certainly coming into her own.
The old standby the Salt Creek field bids fair
TO have one or two rivals. The town of Greybull,
WyO.. at present looks like Los Angeles did some
years ago with oil derricks standing like SEN
tnels throughout the town. Frontyard or back
yard, il made no difference. wherever. in the
mind of the oil operator. there appeared 10 be
likely place TO drill. up went the derrick The
Midwest people were in the field early and by
December a three-thousand barrel daily capacity
refinery was in full blast but the production
keeps ahead of the refining capacity, as new
wells are constantly being brought in.
Other fields in that state give promise of large
producers. and especially worthy Of note are the
Grass Creek and Buffalo Basin fields. A num-
Der Of wells are being drilled near Rock Springs,
several Of which have made a good showing.
Some very large gassers were brought in during
the year, in the Big Horn Basin district in which
a number Of prominent Salt Lake City people
are interested. and the gas production exceeds
hundred million cubic-feet day. IL took months
TO conquer one of the largest wells, and many
millions of feet Of gas was lost before the cap
was finally placed The production in Wyoming
at the end Of the year must have been close TO
thirty thousand barrels per day. Considering
the high quality Of the oil. this is a splendid
showing.
Last year at this time the indications pointed
TO considerable activity in prospecting for oil in
Utah. but the enthusiasm gradually died out

SCOTS Report Indicates
AmiCabIe Settlement of
Mexico Problem.


Washington, April 30. Administra-
ton officials expressed complete salts
faction with the progress Of the Scott
Obregon conference. as indicated in
reports received At the War Depart
mcnt from General Scott tonight. Al
though Secretary Baker refused 10 di-
vulee the reports or comment on them,
i; was learned on the most reliable au-
thorty that the meeting was thorough
ly amicablc. that normal progress" was
made and that there were no formal de
msnds uttered by either Of the parties.
Virtually the sole question before the
conferrces was that Of withdrawing the
American troops from Mexico. General
Oregon. according TO General SCOTS
report, stated his conviction that i'm
mediate withdrawal was the only safe
solution OF an Increasingly difficult
problem.
General Scott il understood to have
assured General Obregon that the sin
gle purpose of the United States was
to insure the safety Of its citizens. both
i'm Mexico and on this side of the Dor
der. and to have indicated that the
expedition would retire as soon as
President Wilson was satisfied that
this had been accomplished.
Secretary Baker said that no details
OF the conference would be announced
until it was over No indication Of its
probable duration has been received
here. but 1t will continue tomorrow
and possibly Tuesday.
President Wilson read General
SCOTS report with satisfaction and di-
rected that a short message OF further
instructions be sent him. Administra-
ton leaders are pleased that no dissen-
sion has developed and say IL is highly
improbable that the United States will
take any steps TO disturb the friendli-
ness of the negotiations.
General SCOTS complete report OF
the conference when 10 breaks up will
be used as basis for final negotiations
between the State Department and the
de fscto government. II is confidently
expected here that as a result Of the
Scott-O Oregon conferences the troops
will be withdrawn after a reasonable
delay for formal exchanges
