Wyoming Oil Situation.
casper Press

The past few weeks have seen very
few changes in the Wyoming oil situa-
tion. Drilling continues actively In
all fields, but no new production has
developed. All producing fields are
maintaining steady production, the
price of crude keeps up, and higher
increased demand for petroleum.
The refineries at Casper and Grey
bull are working to capacity. The Mid
west refinery at Casper. with a capac-
ity Of $4,000 barrels daily, is expected
to be enlarged TO a capacity of 10000
barrels daily by the end of the e
The refinery at Greybull, controlled by
the Midwest, now has a capacity Of s.
900 barrels per day and this also is e1-
pected to be enlarged materially. The
Midwest refinery at Casper is already
the fourth largest refinery of gasoline
in the country, and market for its pro-
ducts has been established all over the
country.
An additional market for Wyoming
crude is found at Regina. Canada,
where the Imperial Oil company's re-
finely is located. This refinery has a
huge contract with the British govern
ment and Il large portion of the Elk
Basin and Grass Greek fields is going

HISTORY OF WYOMING OIL.
Found in Nineteen Out Of the Twenty
One Counties of the State-Win
BE a Great Producing Field.

(By A. b. Christensen in New West
MagaZine.)
There is oil in Wyoming. Not in,
II section but in all sections of tin
state. Development has proven thiS4
Underlying the great state area of 97.$
500 square miles is a great blanket or
sea of oil which Nature labored for
centuries in creating, a mine of wealth
which is practically inexhaustible.
When the pioneers of Utah MAD
their memorable journey across til
plains and mountains in 1S47, they
learned the fact that Wyoming was a
great mineral storehouse. There
was metal there was coal there was
liquid mineral. Outcroppings disclosed
everywhere along the tiresome treck
across the state.
As they followed the course Of the
North Platte, oil seepage was found at
various points. AS the trek westward
grew more n more tiresome, outcrop-
pings of black diamonds were discov-
cred. When South Pass was reached
there was every evidence of precious
metal, and so it continued until one
day in July-to be exact, July "a, 1S47
the pioneers viewed the promised
land from the mouth of Emigrant can
yon, overlooking the Salt Lake valley.
and the Inauguration of an empire had
begun.
They had passed over vast riches,
ignored the fortunes which were ev-
erywhere apparent in mineral wealth.
Opportunity reached out to them on
their tiresome trek, but it was ignored.
They recorded the fact, however, that
Wyoming was rich beyond compare in
mineral wealth.
Later anne other pioneers, those who
were seekers after gold, and they
opened up the metal mines of the state.
Still later came others who looked up
on and opened VI the coal treasures,
but the liquid wealth of the state re-
manned untouched. That there was
petroleum-not in a small lake, but a
great sea of oil-was well known, but,
despite this knowledge, this sea was
not tapped.
In 1884. almost forty years after the
first record had been made that petro-
leum existed in vast quantities, the res
eryoir of oil was tapped, but not for
profit. Ten years later, in 1894, oil
was produced in commercial quanti-
ties, the output being 1850 barrels, a
greater production than that of Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri,
Texas and Oklahoma combined, while
the total production in the entire Unit
ed States that year was practically
fifty million barrels. The next year,
1895, Wyoming produced 1856 barrels,
while in 1896 the production fell off
to 2,S7S barrels. In 1897 the produc-
ton increased to 1850 barrels, and
from that a down to the present
the production has increased each year
and in this year 1917 the production
will, according to the present output,
approximate 1~1,315,0O0 barrels, with
IA value Of $12,446,5 SOC, and this, too,
with only a scratching of the surface
Of thes tate-only a few spigots in the
way of wells tapping the great sea of
oil.
There are a few dry holes in the
state, and the majority of these are
dry for the reaso that they were not
drilled to sufficient depth to reach the
oil sea. There are few abandoned wells,
and the larger part of these might be
made producers were they cleaned out
and drilled to greater depth.

IMPROVEMENTS AT HATCHERY.
Several New Buildings to Be Erected.
Large Water Filter Will Be Built
and Other improvements.

Many improvements are cOntemDlat-
ed in the near future at the govern
ment fish hatchery at Saratoga, ac-
cording to announcement made by Su-
~perintendent O.. n. Baldwin. IN ap-
preparation of $1,000 was recently
made by the national congress for the
Improvement and enlargement of this
Institution and the money is now
available.
Among the important additions plan
ned by Mr.. Baldwin will be a water fill
Ter of large proportions to be located
near the hatchery building. through
which all water used at the plant will
pass for publication before going into
the tanks and troughs used in the cul-
ture of the small fry.
A dwelling house for helpers at the
station, work shops INT other smaller
structures are also contemplated, as
well as n considerable amount of con-
crete and cement work. With these
additions to the present buildings, the
station will assume the proportions
of a small city.
While the finny population at the
hatchery is at present not as large as
usual, it will be greatly increased in
the near future by the addition of a
million or more eggs of the black
spotted variety Of trout from Yellow
stone Park, which will be introduced
into the streams of this neighborhood
as o o as the fish attain suitable size
for planting, and by many millions of
eggs from III common varieties which
will be taken from the Platte river as
soon as the water recedes sufficiently
TO allow the use of the government
seines. Large numbers of rainbow and
speckled trout from the hatchery have
been planted recently in nearby
streams, 10000 having been sent out
last week-20,O00 to Pass creek and
10000 to Spring and Jack creeks. Mr..
Baldwin also has a very numerous
family of steelhead trout which will
o o be ready for planting, which will
add variety to the catches of local
anglers.
That this institution is doing a great
wOrk for Saratoga and its people is
realized by everyone. There are few
people who do not appreciate the ben
eft of having all our streams kept
well stocked with game fish of many
varieties, providing unequalled sport
for all local people and also resulting
in more and more tourists and vaca-
tionists visiting the valley each year,
as the fame of Saratoga as 1.-The Fish
erman's Paradise becomes more wide
ly known.
A fact which is perhaps not so wide
ly appreciated is the loyalty and inter
est shown by Superintendent Baldwin
In the work of keeping all the streams
of this valley adequately stocked be-
fore allowing n fry to go to outside
points. He follows the theory that as
the hatchery is located in the Platte
valley, the Platte valley is entitled to
first considerations in the product of
the hatchery, although he could easily

The Big Muddy pipe line. from that

dispose of all the fish in other quarters
were he so inclined.
Mr.. Baldwin is a veteran in the work
OF fish culture and Saratoga is for
tunate that the hatchery is in charge
OF a man who SO thoroughly under
stands his business. 1t is our guess
tn t it would be indeed hard to find
another man who, placed in a similar
position, would be willing and anxious
to do so much for us.

ANESCAPEDCON-
Wet RECAPTURED
He Was Ambling Along County
Road and Was Caught by
Sheriff Ashby.

William Puffenberger, Of Vindex,
this county, convicted and sentenced
at the June Term of the Circuit Court
to three years Imprisonment in the
Mary land State Penitentiary, who made
his escape from the Jail in Oakland on
last = "Wednesday evening by saving
through the bars protecting one of the
east windows of the building, was re-
captured on Saturday evening by
Sheriff Ashby and returned to Jail here
where he will be kept until those who
assisted him in making his getaway"
are rounded up.
Putfenberger with his companion Ed
Harvey, who escaped at the same time
and whose sentence was for one year in
the penitentiary for forgery, went
through the woods and over seldom
used trails toward his home along the
Potomac IlYar, as was thought he
would do by the officers. Although a
constant watch was kept upon his
abiding place in the vicinity of VindeX
it was impossible TO locate him there.
On Saturday morning Sheriff Ashby
had ''hunch" that if he were to 90 to
point near Kitzmiller and watch a
certain path leading from Shaw through
the Hamill farm located a short dis
tance above KitZmiller on the mountain
his efforts would be rewarded. Follow
ing his inclination the Sheriff hied HIM
self away and had just reached his OF
jective point when he saw a man cross
ing one of the Hamill fields. Secreting
himself as best he could and at the
same time not losing sight of his quarry,
the officer was rewarded in a very few
minutes by Puffenberger appearing up
on the road just few yards from
where he had taken his stand Allow
ing Putfenberger to move away the
Sheriff followed at a rapid pace and
soon overlook him. Puffenberger made
no resistance and was soon shackeled
and taken on into kitzmiler from
which point the officer and his prisoner
