st. Mary's Dome, North Of Fl. Steele,
Is Very Promising Region for
Oil, Says Casper Paper.

Drilling at shallow depth, with prof
liable results, is reported at st. Mary's
dome, situated a few miles north of
Fort Steele. Independent companies
are now operating On this structure and
several flows of oil are said to have
been encountered at depths of from
five to six hundred feet, where the first
sand is reached.
Among various companies operating
in the st. Mary's field are the ii. o.,
the American, and the Caribou. Con-
siderable development is planned with
the breaking of winter, and b. T. Dyer,
formerly field manager for the Gen
eral Petroleum Company of California,
will take charge of the work to be done
by the II. O.. corporation.
The st. Mary's dome is a part of the
Lost Soldier field, and is being looked
upon as one of the desirable drilling
sections of the state. Several other
companies have secured leases inside
the dome and will commence drilling
at once. This is all shallow drilling,

According to newspaper reports from

Dempsey in that city on July 4th Of

be 100000, and it is stated that that
amount of money is at present lying in

Governor Houx has declared that
there will be no such affair pulled off
in the state of Wyoming, unless it be

sumed that if the affair does come off
it will probably be staged at Fort Rus
