James E. Beckley is out of a job

Considerable damage has been done
to the rig by the spouting of rocks
since our last issue. The water ap-

with about the same pressure.
Sam Cockreham. of Denver, came in
Friday to take a squint at the well and
also to pick up what he could about
what had transpired since he was
here last Sam is now in the oil game
and is more than interested in this
wild cat" hole.
Hundreds of people visited the well
Sunday and were all well pleased
they made the trip out there. A large
number from Hotchkiss and the up
per country were also present. The
road was kept pretty well lined with
cars the entire day.
Sunday the last load of casing was
brought down by Harry Ainsworth,
who has been doing most of the haul
ing in this moving from Hotchkiss ter
ritory to the new Black Canon dome.
The last work has been accomplish
ed on runners instead of wheels.
Driller Fowler is putting in his
time prospecting the territory near
the we'll. He has great confidence in
the striking of oil and in big paying
quantities, so much so that he has
purchased a bit of stock and stands
ready to lease several acres to drill
some holes on.
Joe Harvey, the retired rancher of
Delta. called into the Independent Of
flee Saturday to renew his subscrip-
ton. Mr.. Harvey said he was quite
interested in the oil well and was
watching developments with keen in
terest. Said he had great hopes in
the prospecting for oil in Delta coun-
ty.
1t is reported that number of
Pueblo men have staked several hun
dred acres near the well. This was
all done on the quiet during the early
part of the week Good, we may have
an oil dome most anywhere, and
would be glad to see someone devel
op the resources arouni us.
The company has over 5000 acres
of land to date and still have their
engineer at work securing more.
What is the market price of Black

Paul Osborn. the drug store man
has figured out that the Black Canon
Oil 4 Gas Co. is on the right track in
its undertaking in drilling for oil.
Saturday evening he demonstrated to

they were going to hit it big. "Just
