to Shoshoni by auto where they were
joined by J. d. Woodruff and others of
that place. Mr.. Woodruff's large
Cadillac was converted into sort of
limousine, the back seat being curtain
ed of into chamber and after salts
flying themselves that 1t was absolute
ly 'see-proor Mr. Reber was placed in
side and the journey started with
Woodruff and feathers. two skeptics
in the car with Mr.. Reber. The other
cars followed suit and by the time the
party had reached the first pool the
night was SO dark that 1t has had no
equal and to see without light was
impossible. The car was speeding at
a fast clip and upon entering onto the
outside wall Of the chimney, as Mr..
Reber terms it. he ordered the driver
to halt and went out to drive his stake.
Proceeding to what he termed the OPP
posite boundary he drove another
stake and then placed himself into the
same enclosed car and allowed him
self to be driven many miles further
into the Dry Creek Dome, located
some 20 miles out from Shoshoni. No
one informed him where they were,
and 1t is doubtful il the other MEM
bers knew the exact location them
selves, and he gave the order to halt
from a 30-mile an hour speed, and
went out to drive his stakes.
ut was the original understanding
that after driving these stakes at
night. the party should return to Sho-
shoni and come back the next morning
to verify the relations between his
night stakes and the ones previously
spotted by him, but some members
became impatient and insisted that
the other stakes be located then. At
ter search In the coal black night
with the aid of small flashlight no
verifying stakes could be located AMI
the skeptics declared they were led
on 'snipe hunt
upon the homeward trip about 2
O'Clock Sunday morning Mr.. Reber
placed two more stakes in a sage
brush field where it Is difficult to pro-
gress in broad daylight.
"Shoshoni Was reached about 3:15
in the morning and after a good sleep
a number of the party, accompanied
by Shoshoni doubters, went back over
the ground Sunday morning. When
reaching the first stakes placed they
were found to be about 30 feet out of
line, the line being an actual survey
by Engineer Goyne Drummond, who
has the records of survey in his field
book. The next stakes on Dry creek,
were found and the two placed at
night were: one 20 feet and the other
80 feet out Of line. In the sage brush
pasture one stake was placed about 10
feet from the original location and
Ebut Q feet out of line. The other one
in the same locality was only IL feet
out Of line.
1.-THE question arises of how does
Mr.. Reber do this. The writer is un-
able to say beyond the explanation Of
fered by Mr.. Reber. but I do know
that he did it and must agree on that
with the other members of the party.
"Mr. Reber explains that he feels
vibrations caused by the oil beneath
the ground and situated in 'chimneys'
as outlined and discovered by him.
He can not be other than super-hum
an and everyone who sees his opera
tions agree on that point.
HE has called many wells before
their completion and as yet we have
to learn of a single one he has missed
In this district he has called several
some of which have been completed
as he said they would prove out while
others are yet to be finished. We
should like to name the companies
whose property he has called but In
Justice to them we refrain. A sealed
record Is on file in the vault Of the
Farmers State bank which will be ex-
posed after the wells named therein
have been completed and the contents
of this record will be made public.
mr.. Reber claims also that there
are two large oil pools and one gas
pool within five miles of the corporate
limits of the town of Riverton and a
movement Is on foot to prove his con-
tention.
"A letter of recommendation is in
his possession signed by Judge Phillip
E. Citing Of Colman, Ill., stating that
out Of ~ wells called by the former in
the Plymouth field all IL were large
producers. Mr.. Citing is high in his
praise and invites correspondence of
responsible parties who desire further
information.
MANY arguments are placed for
and against Mr. Reber but what we
have stated was witnessed by our own
eyes and beyond that we can not ar
que but have a gaining confidence in
his powers.
"Mr. Reber is vice president of the
Vesuvins Oilland company, of which
F. II. Oliver, Casper is president, and
Cyrus Bradley of Spokane, Wash. Is
