thoroughly satisfied that in due time
Wyoming will be producing probably
not so much oil in quantity as some
other oil states. but more in dollars
and cents from oil than any other
state in the union. The 1920 oil
and Gas Manual recently issued by
the u. S. Treasury Department tells
is among other things that in 1920
fourteen fields in Wyoming were
producing and marketing oil and
that fourteen other fields had oil in
commercial quantities but not yet
marketing same, due to lack Of pipe
lines, etc; that IT'S per cent OF wells
drilled in Wyoming proved oil or gas
producers. This more than
three out Of every four wells drilled
for oil are successful. Wyoming
State Geoiogist Morgan in a 1920
bulletin holds that there are IT pro-
ductive districts marketing OIL or
q and II others have commercial
production. Practically all of the
oil in Wyoming is very high grade
aud In the judgment of the best
authorities oil wells will be long
lived in production.

since the Midwest maximum pro-
.duction tests of Salt Creek have fin
ished the first period. some very In
teresting comparative information
has become available. The Casper
Tribune and Cheyenne Tribune
Leader are quoted in substance as
follows:
Salt Creek neld outclasses Mexia.
the Wonder Texas field in nearly
every way, figures show. In view OF
the fact that the Mexia field. IN
Limestone county. Texas, is a new de-
velopment attracting especial atten-
ton, and that Salt Creek IL now get

the two fields may prove interesting.
