OIL BOOM GROWS
Nothing Can Check the Growing Be
lief That This Is an Oil Field

In spite of many past failures and
there seems to be
a growing boom for oil exploration in
this valley, and new companies are
being organized weekly and much
money spent in organizing to develop
several promising fields.
The reorganized Mustang Company
has new machinery on the ground now
and will proceed to put down several
wells in much more businesslike man
ner than heretofore. Several other
large holdings in the same section are
also to be exploited by Las Animas
and La Junta capitalists.
At least two very promising fields
in Kiowa are also covered by filings
or leases and development work will
soon be under way. Another strong
combination of Kansas capitalists is
also collecting leases on Clay and
Butte creeks and will soon be at work
there.
A number of placer filings for oil
have also been made in the valley
west of Lamar and near Caddoa, and
a number Of leading geologists and
expert oil prospectors from Kansas
and Oklahoma have interested them
selves in this last field, and pronounce
it one of the most inviting prospects
in the country today. Oil derricks will
soon be a common feature Of our
scenery.

know the history OF the various fruits
