Oil Excitement in Fall River

The oil excitement in Fall River
county is steadily on the increase.
Every hill and shalebank. apparently
is being Investigated. Thousands
of acres are being leased, and several
new companies have already been
formed, some of the stockholders re-
siding in Rapid City.
1t has generally been known for a
long time that favorable conditions
for Oil strikes were found in differ
ent places in our neighbor to the
south, and now experts from Wy
oming fields are on the ground. ex-
amining and leasing land. Whether
another Big Muddy or Salt Creek
field is to be developed in our state
will soon be proven, if all reports of
proposed drilling operations are
true. There are now several drills
at work and it is understood num-
ber more will be on the ground be-
fore the grass grows green.-Rapid

HAT CREEK OIL COMPANY
Strikes Vein of Coal Near Surface on
Ground Below Ardmore

The report of the striking of a
coal vein on the property of the Hat
Creek Oil company sent B. C. Yates
and Ralph Bonney. officers of the
company and Bert Coolidge on a hur-
ried auto trip to that place yester-
day. They left in Ford car yes
terday morning and returned today.
The coal was struck in test we'll
at about 10 feet from the surface and
has been trnntl ated about 10 feet
without the bottom of the vein being
reached. 1t is thought the deposit
is at least IL feet thick. Work has
been started on a 6x6 foot shaft
which will be sunk to the bottom of
the vein, so that it may be thorough
~ prospected and samples taken for
analysis. 1t has been impossible as
yet to determine the quality of the
coal. The ground is located little
more than mile from the Burling-
ton railroad. making 1t simple mat
ter to get spur run to the scene OF
the local deposit.-Lead Call.

An Old Mans Stomach

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When man reaches
the advanced age of IS or 90, you
will find that he is light eater. Be
as careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin. but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. They also
cause a gentle movement of the bow
|els.

now down some 1900 feet. The .
company have a big Standard rig at +
work. running two shifts, 80 foot
tower and all the other equipment +
usual to an up-to-date drilling out
fit. The company have a camp of
two houses and about five tents, in
addition to the buildings enclosing
the drilling outfit and workshop.
From all appearances this company I
has selected very desirable sight
for the drilling of it's we'll and should
reach the oil bearing sands at depth
from $500 to 1850 feet. OF course
the depth is only estimated from the
structure as shown in the immediate
territory, but the estimate seems
very conservative.
The majority of the land in the
immediate country, adjoining the
site of drilling, is now leased by the
Midwest and some Montana con-
Germ, while a few pieces are held by
Oklahoma parties.
The rumor was current that ii
we'll is brought in at the Slim Buttes
the company will no doubt put an
other we'll down close to Waysde,
lust south of Oelrichs; however this
report has not as yet been confirm
ed, as the company are undoubtedly
awaiting the result of their present
we'll.
The party had the privilege of
visiting the first we'll of the Mid
Vest, drilled last year and finished
this spring, located about 10 miles
southeast of their present we'll and
in Nebraska; but which was aban-
doned on account of their rig not
being properly equipped for deep
drilling and having apparently start
ed with to small an opening
Whether they expect to drill this
we'll on down to the deep sands is
unknown by the general public at
this time. This first we'll is located
in the same territory, where some
18 years ago on Beaver Creek,
a man by the name of Millard put
down deep we'll then abandoned it,
for unknown reasons. The old tow
er stood at the sight until few
years ago, when it fell in a heap,
from the long exposure to the winds
and storms. Thus it would appear
that this Slim Buttes field has been
looked upon as possible field for
some time.
During the past three weeks there
has been oil representatives from
nearly every portion of the United
States and several of these visitors
to our city have decided to headquar-
ter here for the next few months to
watch the development of prospect
i've oil fields in and around the city
Iof Hot Springs.
From information at hand several
companies are in the course of or
ganization and their names will be
announced in the near future. Most
of these new companies, we are ad
vised, will have their offices in our
lefty.
The Star expects to keep in close
touch with the developments in our
county and will from time to time,
publish accounts as to the progress
being made and do what it can to
encourage the building up of the oil
industry, together with the irriga-
tion project, either of which will
mean thousands of dollars to the
Iceunty of Fall River.

SOMETHING DOING
Hat Greek Company Reports Acti-
vty and Bright Prospects
lean

In speaking of the recent trip to
their holdings in the Ardmore
district, Ralph Bonney says: 1.-THE
big Star drill of the Hat Creek
Oil company has arrived at their
camp in the Ardmore field, also
two head drillers. and one tool
dresser who are busy getting the rig
in shape to start operations.
with reasonably good luck, drill
ing will start within ten days, and
continue until the field is proven, as
everything possible has been done to
winter. Two houses are completed
one being used for bunk house, and
the other for kitchen. The rig
will also be housed in and two 12
hour shifts will be worked. A 12
and one-half inch hole will be start
ed. and the depth where the oil is
expected to be encountered will be
around 2200 feet. Without any de-
luys this hole should be down in 90
Gays from the time drilling is start
cd The rig has a record of drilling
a we'll in the Wyoming field of 5000
feet.
There is great deal of activity
in this field at the present time, and
all companies starting operations
seem to be very optomistic about the
future of the field
1.-The tower Of the Shiloh people
looms up SO feet in the air about one
mile north of the Hat Creek camp,
and Des Moines outfit have their
rig set up, and already to start oper-
tions about the same distance south
Sc that three wells should be started
within 80 days.
''If the recent rumor of coal being
struck ON the Hat reek ground
proves out as it should, it will be of
great benefit to all companies in the
field, as it is no small item Of ex-
the boilers used in drilling can eat
it up pretty fast. This coal pros
pect is only 1900 feet from the Hat
Creek camp, and under a twenty
year lease to the Hat Greek company.
so everything is being done to open
it up as soon as possible. Biologists
claim it to be light weight Btu
minous.
I'VE should like very much to
have stockholders and others go and
see for themselves what Is going on
in this field. BY taking the O'Clock

about 10 o'clock the same night
