DOLLAR
STORM VISITS
this SECTION

A million dollar storm visited this
section last Saturday in the nature of
a blizzard and heavy snow fall,
which provided an abundance of m0is-
ture, and as a result the farmers are
wearing big smile, as this moisture
was indeed welcome at this time.
While the moisture was much well
coined, as a great benefit to the cOun-
try at large. there was also consider
able damage done on account of the
terrific wind which accompanied the
snow. Telephone and telegraph lines
for miles were put out of commission,
hundreds of poles being twisted off,
and as a result there was no tele-
graph or long distance telephone ser
vice for a few days. Crews of line
men were rushed to the scene, and
have been working diligently to get
the service back to normal. Train
service was seriously hampered on
account of the storm.
As a result Of the storm some of the
roads in this section were rendered
almost impossible, and we have heard
of several automobiles being stuck, it
being necessary to secure teams to
pull them out. However, after the
storm abated Saturday night the
temperature moderated, and during
the past few days the snow has been
rapidly disappearing at the mercy of
the bright rays Of Old Sol.
1t is unfortunate that the tele-
graph and telephone companies suf-
fered considerable loss as result of
tho Storm which has resulted in q
great benefit to the farmers on &C
count of the abundance of moisture.
1t was a case of lose and win, by the
former and latter respectively. 1t
will be remembered that similar
storm visited this section year ago,
at which time considerable damage
was incurred to the telephone and
telegraph lines.

BEAR RIVER OIL & DEVELOP
MENT co. TO RESUME DRILLING

Local people will be interested to
know that the Bear River Oil 4 De-
velopment Co. are going to start drill
ing this week. Many stockholders
if not majority, live in and around
Julesburg.
Late reports show very good indi-
cations of bringing in a good sized
well. This fact is based upon reports
given by biologists who claim that
the cap-rock has just been struck,
and which cap-rock is identically the
same as that which overlies oil pools,
and the fact that the cap-rock has
been struck at a depth of 807 feet,
biologists claim that is very good
indication, indicating that there has
been tremendous pressure under
meath this cap rock, which caused the
rock to vary from its original de-
cline and has forced it upwards.
The Fossil field where the holdings
of the Bear River Oil Co. is located
will be alive with drilling rigs this
coming summer, and western Wyom-
ing is just beginning to wake up from
it's lethargy of the winter. The
Pyramid Oil company has now sever
dl producing wells ana sui OEllilH&,
several acres Of land have been leased
of late, in fact all of the land has
been taken up, and larger concerns
are making every effort to purchase
the leases. The Bear River Oil COM
pany has just refused an opportunity
to sell, whereby a large oil producing
company made an offer to complete
and drill several more. The oil OBJ
tanned is of the very highest quality.
This Fossil field is lying right near
the holdings of the Bear River Oil
company, and north of their holdings
are the wonderful Big Piney fields.
The structure on all of these fields
are of the same formation. Drill
ing in this field is getting very ac-
tive.
From reliable sources and local
mems opinion the Bear River Oil &
Development will bring in nice we'll,
together with the $3.50 acres of land
that is under lease by the company
will make the holdings very valuable
and all stockholders should share in a
very nice profit.
