RIO ARRIBA COUNTY
OIL FIELD IS BOOMING

Chama- =. n, Feb. 4.-The unex-
pected finding Of oil in the well
being drilled by the Willow Creek
syndicate at a depth OF 1850 feet
last week has attracted the atten-
ton Of oil men in all the southern
and eastern oil fields. Inquiries are
coming in from nearly all the west
ern oil centers and many investors
are arriving daily
This well is situated about 16
miles southwest Of Chama, on the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad. II
started drilling in October and at a
depth Of 400 feet had trouble in the
way Of fishing jobs and parted cas-
ing, which delayed work for nearly
two months Rapid progress has
since been made
It is understood here that the
sinking of this wen 10 a greater
depth will at once continued An
oil sand was not expected until the
well reaches a depth OF about 1000
feet where three known oil sands oc-
cur and il is the intention Of the

this well until these sands are cut
This syndicate obtained the leases on
the land under a contract to drill
two wells TO a depth Of 5000 feet
unless oil was found at a lesser
depth. II has no stock. II was
organized on the unit plan. with 400
units at $500 each, but all the units
were sold before drilling started.
