the plan to be carried out will embrace
q curtailment Of such features that
should be eliminated from the several

OIL PROSPECTS
ARE EXCELLENT
SAYS H. HARRIS
Continued from first page)

posted, the area was again depressed
and under water when quantities Of
sediment were deposited upon it and
the Ellensburg formation Of clays
sands and conglomerates were depos-
tied. After this period an uprising
took place in which the area was fold
ed into hills and valleys above water,
and this brings US up to the present
time, so far as the present topography
is concerned.
Contour is Favorable:
cit is my opinion that the Rattle
snake hills are the crest Of true an
ticline running in northwest and
southeast direction. The slope is
gradual to the southwest and more
abrupt to the northeast. Directly
above the well the hills seem to be
higher than in any other portion Of
the ridge for several miles. Toward
the Yakima river the formation seems
to plunge in a southeast direction very
gradually. The escarpment seen also
indicates that the formation plunges
to the northwest and rather abruptly
at point about four miles to the
northwest from the well. This would
indicate that the area in which the
well is located is dome. Such a con-
dition is favorable for the existence
of oil and gas.
"The location Of the we'll is especial
ly fortunate. Directly south Of the
well the Rattlesnake hills reach an
elevation according to aeneroid read
ing of 5000 feet. From the well to
the foot Of the hill, about one mile dis
tant, the slope is gradual. The foot
hills are from 100 to 200 feet in height
sloping up to the base of the mountain
about 111 miles from the well. Al
spring issues at this point at an ele-
walton of about 1000 feet. Almost at
the top Of the hill is pond formed
by seepages from below that never
goes dry. Just below is a never-fail-
ing spring. These springs and the
pond undoubtedly issue from horizons
which are between successive flows
and they probably issue from lateral
cracks caused by crust stress. think
there is some analogy between the
rising water and gas from the deeper
stratas below at this particular point. |
I believe that body Of oil exists be-
low the gas bearing stratas and this
we'll will be found to be near its CEN
ter.

No Stock Booms
"In conclusion, there has been no
effort on the part of the different COM
oanies operating in this field to start
] stock jobbing boom. The Yakima
Natural Gas & Oil company is oper-
lting about three miles from the well

hing so far done in the field has been
