WYOMING OIL CO.

For the purpose of developing oil
lands of Wyoming the following well.
known men OF Nevada have associated
| themselves together and formed q
company known as the Nevada. wyom.
ing Oil company. with a capital OF
$25O,O00 These men include such wei,
known men as Frederick E. Gorham
OF the Double Square horse outfit.

Marshall. NJ. E. of Austin: G. w. Ad.
ans. cashier of the bank at Battle
Mountain, and F. II. Oliver. NJ. E.,
OF Spokane, Wash.
! II is the purpose of these men to
sink wells on land they have acquired
through their field manager on which
the most favorable reports have been
made by such well known men as
Carroll II. Weigman, for many years
in the employ of the United States
government. They intend beginning
the sinking OF their wells as soon as
the contracts can be made. One we'll
field. in which there are some two
hundred producing wells. which pro-
duce from three hundred t. fifteen
hundred barrels per day of parafine
base oil. This oil is said TO be the
highest in gasoline content of any in
the world. and it is predicted by all
oil operators that this field is fast
taking its place as the greatest pro-
Queer of gasoline and lubricating oil
on earth.
All of the large oil operators of
America are now in the camp sinking
hundreds of wells in proven and un.
proven territory. II is generally con.
coded that the degree of risk in find
ing OIL in most of the wells drilled
has been eliminated in this field,
owing to the fact that the structures
that indicate the presence of oil are
visible in the Wyoming field. a fact
that does not exist in any other oil
field OF America.
4 most remarkable showing for
Wyoming is the fact that out of all
wells so far drilled Sc per cent have
proved producers. In the Salt Creek
field even a better average has been
maintained. IL il stands at 81 per cent
on all wells so far drilled, record
never before reached by any other oil
field. Many new gushers are being
brought in each week, adding many
millions to the wealth of Wyoming.
Some $1,000, 900 barrels will this
year be refined in the state and
nearly as much is capped. owing to the
insufficient capacity of the rchneries
TO handle il. The refineries are work.
ing at double their capacity and should
be ready to handle the additional ton.
