He has had seventeen years experience
in the oil business and is fully quali-
fled to carry on the work. Mr.. T..
E. Nelson, of Nelson & company, Dem
yer. is also in Julesburg to personal
ly attend to the financing of the new
company. 1t is intended to make thi0
enterprise strictly a home town af-
fair and the new oil derrick will soon
be in place four miles east Of town In
the river bottom.
Mr.. Sid Huntley says that he has
always been annoyed in the hot wealth
er by oil seeping through into tie
stocks watering hole and that times
the oil coating on the water has been
SO noticeable that the cattle refused
to take water until the oil was clear
ed away. He also, when drilling hi
well, encountered thick bed Of oily
clay, which when dried, burns in tie
cook stove like coal. Mr.. j. Edgar
Pew, an oil man from Tulsa, Okla,
was much impressed with Huntley's
farm in 1918 and at that time Offered
to lease the land and commence drill
ing. but Mr.. Huntley did not lease his
land to this syndicate.
The management of the new COM
pany has promised to buy all their
supplies and materials locally and all

COMPANY TO BE OR,
CANNED TO DRILL FOR
OIL EAST OF JULESBURG

Oil men and biologists have been in
Julesburg the past month testing and
analyzing the formations in the riv-
unanimous in their opinion that with
out doubt there is oil in the river
bottom strata. 1t is fact, well
known by all geologists and experts
on oil, that this entire district is un-
derlaid with oil and this is also the
belief of most Of the residents of the
Julesburg district. In fact nearly
every farm in the county has been ex-
amined at some time by different geol-
ogists and promoters and the owners
&C the property have been told that
there was oil underlying the proper
ty. Some of these so-called experts
have really given an honest opinion
and Of course there have been many
who have simply endeavored to stir
up excitement. So that most of the
farmers in the district, especially in
the river bottoms have at some time
leased their property for oil drilling
purposes. We certainly have been the
target for plenty Of agitation along
oil promotion lines and many outside
companies have contracted to drill, but
up until this time nothing definite
has been done.
Mr.. Sid Huntley's land lies espec-
tally well within the oil strata and
indications point to the fact that oil
will be encountered at shallow
depth. The new company has con-
tracted to erect buildings on the pro-
perty Immediately and to commence
drilling. Experts on oil and a re-
sponsible broker from Denver is al
ready in the field and work is to COM
mence Immediately. Mr.. j. W.
Smiley, head geologist for the Mid
Field Oil Co., will personally take

Jerry Smith, created an abundance
of laughter for the crowd. Mr.. Jones

Earl Hamilton, Edward Kreidler, Jack
Hansen and Francis Rook each played
their respective parts exceptionally
well.
