Small Flow of Oil
Found, Is Report
Recent Showing Said to Make IL Ger
tain That Next Sands Will Yield
Large Quantities of Oil.

Many and varied, as well as con-
flicting, are the reports heard this
week concerning recent Developments
at the Southwestern Petroleum Com
pany's lease near Saratoga, but all
agree on the IN fact that within the
past few days the drill has opened up
sands containing oil Of very high grade,
though not in sufficient quantities to
interest the Company to any extent.
The showing. however. is said to settle
the much-disputed question as to
whether or not the oil structure is
CLOSED and makes it reasonably GER
tain that much greater quantities of
oil will be found in the lower strata
of sand, which the biologists estimate
to be located from $50 to goo feet be-
low.
While the Company men have made
no announcements. it is taken for
granted that the drilling will continue
without interruption until the lower
sands~of the field are encountered.
Field Manager Abrahamson. Geolo-
gist st. Denis and other of the Com
pany officials have been here for sew
eral days watching developments.

u. P. Resumes
Six Day Service
Believed the Short Period of Tri-week-
ly Service Was On Account A
of Shortage Of Coal.

Without any announcements as to
why or wherefore, the Union Pacific
resumed six-days-a-week service on the
local line last week, after a several
weeks period of tri-weekly service. Lo-
cal officials are unable to say Just
why the tri-weekly service was inaug-
urated in the early summer, nor why
the six-day service has been resumed
but it is common belief that the re-
duction was due to coal shortage.
Train service all along the main line
was cut to a minimum during the
strike period in order to save fuel. but.
now that the mines are operating at
full capacity, the system is getting
back to normal.
The improvement work all along the
local branch is continuing and n real
railroad will soon be the result. 1t is
said the division superintendent has
declared that if one might judge by the
expense bills charged against this
branch during the past few months, the
Company is building n main trunk
line through the Platte Valley.
