OIL FIELD NOTES

No. . "WertZ" well on 1868 is
reported to have had the same good
oil showing encountered in No. l
well at exactly the same depth. Drill
ing at 1899 feet with "A perfect hole
and casing free, the Producers Il
Refiners expect a duplicate of No. l
we'll, but with n heavier flow OF oil.
No. l well is rated at $4,000 900 Gu.
It. of wet gas. carrying seven pints
of gasoline and considerable oil each
1000 Gu. #.
The Wyanna we'll on 25-26-SS is
casing strongly at 2333 feet and a
new boiler has been installed at a
safe distance from the rig and pro-
duction is expected at 1916 feet. 1t
is thought to be far enough down
the North flank to carry oil.
Resumption of drilling al the
Portland-Wyoming on 2S-26-S6 is
announced for the coming week if
Manager Clemens is not detained in

Renewed activities in the Produc-
ers and Refiners camp in the Ferris
field are in evidence since the an
nouncment of the new SIS mile pipe
line to serve hat section. Several
additions oil or gas wells are about
ready to be brought in.
The Armstrong Drilling Co.. on
35-25-SS has secured the services of
one of the best of the Midwest drill
ers from Casper and is now speeding
its operations. President Armstrong
thai his ]geologist assures
him production at reasonably shallow
depth. The camp is well fixed for
winter work.
With a new As h. p. boiler. new
derrick, new drilling cable and new
start, President Sewell of the Fed
eral operating on the NEA 4-26-90,
announces a continuous drilling pro-
gram until production is had. Several
good oil showings have been en-
countered in passing through the
shales. The big flow is anticipated
at 1850 feet.

most severe and one of the earliest
storms on record swept the Contin-
entail divide, resulting in the death

RefineryWhisperings
A party of Western Refinery men
quietly looked over the surrounding
fields recently and it has leaked out
that they seriously contemplate To-
eating a plant near Rawlins. This
is the second proposed refinery: plans
for the first one recently announced
being well under way.
Good and Nutting are finishing a
Standard derrick on the SEA of
NWA Of 3-26-9O preparatory to
early drilling. They are also deliv-
ering derrick material to the SEA
12-26-9O which will we erected at
once.
Future Of Oil.
Every forward movement of every
industry in every country lends to
increase the use Of oil and its by
products. therefore the future of oil
is Just as great as the future Of the
world. The United States alone.
progressive as its citizens are,
sufficient consumption OF
nearly every oil product to steady
present prices. AS the rest of the
world returns to normal the price of
oil will rise in due proportion. The
world is being combed for new oil
fields. but the inevitable result OF
increasing demand and the present
ratio OF depletion in the older fields
will mean still higher oil prices than
ever known before. These are some
of the reasons why oil has s~upplanted
all others gods in the money shrines
of the world.
