The lodges have subscribed 100000 in
the last two days. several Of the sub
scriptions being for $4,000.
Most of the S5l lodges Will purchase
bonds within two weeks, but Grand
Master Thomas Penney and his aides

The trouble is that the country has

Sherer yesterday. I'VE intend to
awaken the Masons Of this state to
their duty by plain language. II a

Arthur X. Kuhn said:
"Our grand master set It forth clear
" in his letter to the masters when he
said that. as Masons and patriots, the
craft can exemplify its power and in
dividual loyalty to the United States
by quickly recognizing this means to
declare its fidelity to the fundamental

the states of the Union in oil produc-
tion, is the opinion Of p. c. Thompson,
world-famous oil expert and geologist,
who recently spent some time in an ex-
haustive examination Of the various
oil-producing fields of northern and
central Wyoming. At one time Mr..
Thompson was known prominently in
mining circles as the partner of F. Au-
gustus Heinze, at the time that mining
maGnate was in the zenith of his
power.
Speaking OF Wyoming and its posi-
biiities, Mr.. Thompson said: II am as
founded at the possibilities see and
the actual production | note in my in
~vestigations here. You have what I
consider the greatest potential oil field
in America. Your oil is OF a higher
grade than any yet discovered on his
continent. and your territory has only
been scratched. You certainly will not
iack capital from now on to test the
various fields that lie unprospected."

500 OIL DRILLS NOW AT
WORK IN WYOMING
Development of Vast Territory Pro-
ceeding at Rapid Rate-Much LO-
eating and Validating Done.

f. John Sur, petroleum g%eologist,
with headquarters at Casper, II an
expert who is thoroughly familiar with
activities in the oil fields Of Wyoming,
is authority for the statement that be-
tween 400 and 500 strings of tools are
now engaged in pounding out the
wealth underground and that this num-
Der will be materially increased before
the close of the present season. The
outfits are distributed in every part of
h state and development is being Wig
orously prosecuted in every county but
one.
The greater number of these wells
are being drilled on selected ground,
which promises an astonishing num-
Der of strikes in the course of the
next few months.
As az outgrowth of this activity,
locating and validating has continued
with undated vigor with the result
that thousands of acres are being
added daily to the territory available
for leasing and drilling.
In the local field there is every
promise of unusual activity next sea
son, large areas south and west of
Saratoga, in the Sage creek and Saw
cry regions having been recently
prospected and validated.
West & Hazlett, who have been drill
ing ON the Pick Springs Company's
land down the river for the past two
months, are now prepared to continue
the work without interruption through
out the winter, although their progress
has been somewhat hampered of late
by the scarcity of coal.
1t is reliably reported that at least
two, and perhaps three, standard rigs
will o be at work in the Sage creek
country, some 20 miles from Saratoga,
where some excellent prospects owned
by Rawlins parties are to be prospect
ed during the coming winter.
Biologists and others who are well
versed in oil land exploitation, who
have visited the field in southwestern
Carbon county, have noted the great
similarity in the surface structure be-
tween this field and the now celebrat-
ed Grass creek field in the northern
part of the state, and their prophesies
as to the ultimate future of this field
are most optimistic. Throughout a large
part of this area the oil shale is ell
countered at a depth of from two to
six feet, and in many places it crops
out on the surface. Many surface in
dications of natural gas have been
found by local prospectors, where ig-
milton with u match in small assures
and cavities would cause a gas flame
to burn for several minutes.
The field embraces an area of hun
dreds Of square miles and present in
dications are that many exploitation
companies will be at work in this re-
gion before another year has passed.
