The company has 10 gas wells distributed over 300
acres. The open flow of these wells is about one hundred
fifty million cubic feet a day. One we'll drilled to the top
of the sand is being held in reserve. to be drilled in when
needed. A well near 1t produces thirty million cubic feet
of gas a day drilled only three feet into the big paying sand.
capitalization and Profits
The New York On Company is capitalized at $4,000,
600, divided into shares of S25 each, all common. There
is about $~s,5oo,ooo par of the capitalization issued and out
standing.
Considerable money has been expended by the company
in the acquisition of lands, equipment and development, but
it has paid four cash dividends three of IL per cent each
and one of 4 per cent. A 100 per cent stock dividend was
paid July 1. 1920.
It's division of capital assets has exceeded 81, 100000.
Future Growth.
For several years the company has had under consid-
GRAFTON the building of a refinery at Casper, but this is not
yet decided. Probably its oil from Poison Spider and South
Casper Greek alone would maintain q refinery, and if Boone
Dome develops as an oil field, it alone would likely furnish
a good sized refinery.
If it builds a refinery at Casper IT intends to construct
and operate an oil pipeline to Salt Greek to run its royalty
and some other Independent oils.
The companys fuel gas will be important to it f. It goes
into the refining business.
While it is its policy to intensely develop the oil and pas
properties that it now has, 1t will doubtless expand where
opportunities are advantageous.
Some Earmarks.
In July, 1913, the New York Oil Company started with a
lease on two quarter sections in the Salt Creek field, sub
ject to a 10 per cent net royalty, with a lawsuit on each
quarter section and a $4,000 cash bonus, and an agree
ment to prosecute the litigation to completion. The pay
ment of the $4,000 was started with 1000 of borrowed
money. Since then those behind New York Oil and asso-
ciate organizations have been the means of expanding sew
eral million dollars in successful exploration and develop
ment in Wyoming and have been leading factors in bring
ing about the quieting of titles and the enactment of the
General Leasing Law.
This company was the pioneer In the discovery of gas
near Casper and through furnishing fuel gas to the resi-
dents and industries the benefits to this city are very
marked.

tent with the Midwest interests, now meaning the Standard
of Indiana and The Ohio Oil Company. 1t is estimated that
if all Of the wells in the Salt Greek field already drilled
and producing were allowed an open flow the New York
on Company's portion would be about 5000 barrels a day.
It has an interest In over 100 wells in Salt Greek. This
number on such an area Is a very small draft upon it.
The Salt Creek field has four proven productive sands,
namely, the FIST Wall Creek, second Wall Creek, third
Wall Greek and the Lacota of the Dakota group. Doubt
less the Embar sand, which lays farther below. viii prove
a great producer and there may be a producing sand or
two between the Dakota group and the Embar.
The oil-bearng character of the second Wall Greek sand
was proven by the New York Oil Company in August, 1916,
when it was reported by the Department of Interior and
the Wyoming Geological Department as the most impor-
tant achievement of the year. Since then that sand in
Salt Creek has been proven productive over an area Of
sixty square miles.
It is believed by good judges that the Dakota group In
this field may prove second TO none In productivity.
The Depar+r,,-t of Interior in its figures calls the com

In Salt Greek over 500 acres. Othe- CURE this combined
acreage about 700 acres. It is difficult to figure the exact
acreage because some items are working interests, some
are net interests and others are net interests with a fixed
price per barrel for the oil. but the value of its acreage
In the Salt Creek field runs into many millions of dollars,
when it is understood that one could hardly buy a frst-class
free acre in that field for less than $4,000 to 100000.

MASTERLY GAME
AGAINST CHICAGO
Dodger Youngster Blank
Cubs, Holding Them to \
Scattered Hits.
Especial to The Evening World ,

CHICAGO, May 2s. - Brooklyn
would appear to have at least two
dependable pitchers now One is
Southpaw Dutch Ruethor, who best
the Cubs here by 8 to 4, end tb
other is Dazzy Vance, the right
handed rookie from New Orleans
who shut sout the Cubs yesterday BY
3 to 0 with four scattered hits.
Vance gave mastery exhibition
and was better than Ruether. H.
was never In danger. and when tn,
Cubs did look up a little he famed
them. Eight Cubs died from strike
outs in the FIRST seven innings. The
last two innings the Cubs reached
first only to die in double plays.
Vance's victory is of interest to
followers of the Giants, because The
man he outpitched at every angle
was Virgil Cheeves, who took two
games from the Cubs here In one
series. Cheeves had a lot OF stuff.
but he didn't class with Vance and
did not last as long. Vance was a.
husky and effective at the finish o.
at the start, while Cheeves weakened
for q httle minute In the ninth and
allowed two earned runs.
The veteran Tom Griffith got his
third hit or Cheeves of the eight
made by the Dodgers when he opened
the ninth round with q double 70
right centre. Neis ran for Grifith.
but professional speed merchant
was not needed, as Wheat lifted Q
home run over the right-f1efd wall,
scoring Neis ahead of him.
Griflth had q funny break In the
third inning. He had helped Johnston
to score in the first by sending him
from first to third on a single, and
in the ninth he started . run with
his two -bagger, but IN the third, with
the bases full, Griffith grounded to
Cheeves and = double play was put
through at the plate and at first base
causing three hits in that round 80

EDDIE ROUSH MAY
BECOME MEMBER
OF GIANTS SOON
Redland Reports Are to Effect
That He'll Be Traded
- to New York.
By Robert Boyd.

CINCINNATI, May 2s.,-Since the
Giants arrived here from Pittsbursh
sunday morning rumors have been
circulated in this city TO the effect
that Bddie Roush. centre fielder and
holdout OF the Reds. was shortly to
become a member OF the worlds
champions.
And baseball circles OF Redland.
where information was sought con
cerning the authenticity of,this story.
would reither deny nor confirm
Roush was to be traded to New
York.
Roush will not play for Garry Herr
mann unless his salary demands are
met. Hermann can not and will not
pay Roush what he wants. The own
ers OF the worlds champions are bet
ter situated to concede TO the fiuan-
cial demands Of the former Giant than
any other club in the National League.
Hence the uneasiness OF the Redland
fans since the advent Of John Nc
Graw and his world champions here
into their midst.
In twenty -eight games Ralph Shin
ners has only hit .2T6. His fielding
has not been UP to the Giant stand
! ard despite its flashiness at times.
Bill Cunningham, former Seattle star,
is playing centre field for the Giants,
McGraw making the change here
f, Sunday after SINNERS made two
errors in the game with Pittsburgh
last Saturday.
The Reds need pitchers. 90 do the
!, Giants. but the rumor is that Nc
Graw will consummate n deal before
4 leaving Cincinnati.
The deal, II negotiated, will involve
a few of McGraw's second string men
and a cash consideration. It will like
wise bring Roush from his Indiana
; farm back into baseball, where, IL
Garry Hermann had to deal solely
with him, he would remain on the in
eligible list Of Judge Landis.
| So to-day Redland is enshrouded In
gloom, for they say that McGraw al
ways gets what he wants in baseball.
Neither McGraw nor Jim Tierney, Sec
,retary OF the Giants. would discuss
the deal that to-day Is the chief topic
of Cincinnati. Naturally this is the
appropriate attitude for them TO as
sumo inasmuch as Garry Hermann
must be dealt with with all the tact
of an international diplomat.
The outfield Is a source OF worry to
Manager McGraw to-day. He has
benched Ralph SINNERS indefinitely
and WIN play Cunningham in centre.
cunningham has only secured one hit
IN two games. His fielding has been
fair. but somehow the champions laoh
their old punch in the outfield.
The Reds played some remarkable

day. Art Nehf was batted hard and

tance. The Colonels would do well to
go out and get a bigger supply of
laurel. They'll need 1t.
Now permit us to tell you a story:
Three weeks ago Miller Huggins
looked over the bench with q crafty
eye. There were more noble athletes
polishing UP that bench with the aft
Of their breeches than he could
be. A scout looked 'em over at the
same time.
''I'll take that one," decided the
scout, pointing to Camp Skinner,
utility outf1elder, crouched in far
corner, trying not to be seen.
81 think that's go-but wait till
after the game" said Hug.
In a last inning Mrs. Camp Skinner,
to give him a good sendoff, was sent
in to pinch hit for an uncertain look
ihg batter.
"Wham!"
The crowd got up and yelled
Camp Skinner had pasted the old
onion to the tall and uncut. The
winning run had come over for the
Yanks. One pinch hit had done quite
q trick.
"I1l see you next week." Miller
Huggins said to the scout after the
game. drop in when you are in
| town"
This scout dropped in yesterday.
| The official transfer papers were all
ready and linked up ready for sig
nature. Still Hug hesitated The
scout watched the game from the
press box.
In the ninth inning with one out,
run in, and the Browns fighting
tooth and toenail, the Yanks looked
sort of hopeless. There was a man
| on second--wallie Schang-and one
run was needed to tie the score. Many
OF the crowd had started for the ele-
waited station.
| Bob Shawkey, the Cob, was at bat
| Why not catch an early train? A
sudden furry around the Yank bench
| arrested attention, The scout in the
press box craned his neck TO see what
was going on.
"Skinner batting for shawkey,'
| screamed the megaphone man.
They were going to give old CamI
good sendoff. II was better thar
sending him off without seeing hi,

The left handed Mr., Prutt smiled
blandly and wound up.
