BATES PARK DRILLING
PLANS ARE PROJECTED

For the benefit OF those who are in
terested in tho Bolton Creek-Bst-s
Park oil fields the Seal OIL association,
a local organization. has arranged 10
carry passengers to that district every
day for h purpose Of inspection.
Cars cave h DAILY building. in
which the company has offices. every
morning at s o'clock and those who
are interested are invited to go. No
charge Is made for the trip.
The Seal people have 1.12o acres IN
the Bates Park field. all of which lays
within the escarpment and plans are
now being perfected for the drilling Of
a well there in the immediate future.
This land has been passed on very
favorably by biologists who have rec
commended drilling.
Many IRE taking advantage OF the
opportunity to visit the prospective
field. Last Sunday there wore no less
than rs who made the trip and all
appeared to be amply repaid for the
short time necessary tt make inspec.

The Ohio OIL company which con
trolls a large amount OF acreage in the
field. Is arranging to drill rs wells
within the next 50 days and IL Is ex-
pected that the production OF that
corporation can be brought up to l.
900 barrels per day by he time that
campaign is completed.
Another producer has been added 10
those OF the Sunburst field with tho
drilling in of production in the Cali
fornia-Morton No. 1 on section 1894
wv.
Tho Ellis sand was cut at 1870 feet
and oil rose in the casing about $50
feet with the bit barely IN the sand.
The hole caved Immediately after and
the mount OF production is as yet
uncertain although It rs known to be
in h commercial class. Tho oil is
dark brown in color and tests so de
grees Beaume.
This well is the farthest south in
the field. being 8 miles south OF the
discovery and proves n large amount
OF acreage TO be oil bearing.

Plans for Tour OF

j. 8. Mechltng. special representa-

this region will cave for an extended
trip over the West for that firm
about Sept. l. Tho extent Of terri
tory to be covered will probably keep
him away for several months.
Mr. Mechling has been detailed TO
cover a new and extensive territory
for the Oil We'll Supply Co. and It
appears as though this may lead to
his moving away from Casper per-
mnnently. Just Mhere he VIII be To-
Gated in this event is not known def
nitely but 1t is certain the heads OF
many business firms in this part of
the country viii regret his transfer.
While the move IS probably a good
thing for tho on Well Supply Co..
the city viii lose ono of its best
citizens.
Mr.. Mechling is first vioe-president
and an active member of the Cham
her of Commerce, a member Of tho
Kiwanis club and Is on several i'm
portant committees of both these Or
'g~anizations. He came to Casper be-
fore the great oil boom started when
this city was only a "cow town and
he has grown up with tho present
city, a hard worker for civic affair1
and at the same time Responsible for
the phenomenal growth of tho OIL
Well Supply here from a small frame
building to its present big business
block, machine shops n storage
yards covering two blocks in the

FUEL OIL MART
IS STRONGER
Higher Prices for Coal Means
Greater Demand for
Petroleum.

A stimulating effect on tho fuel oil
market Is noticeable with prospects for
settlement OF the coal strike on a
which will mean higher prices
for At least another year in many
Coal and oil + in direct
competition for fuel purposes and the
choice is simply a matter OF price
with fuel oil selling in New York
harbor Mt s1,51 per barrel. and coal
quoted ut 81 TO $3.50 per ton. Z. o.
b. hi piers the advantage is plainly
in favor Of the oil as Jour barrels OF
the liquid is equal to a ton OF coal
and there Is reason to believe that the
price OF fuel oil Will advance.
In certain lines. such as the bunker
ing Of largo transatlantic liners and
in the cotton md wooden industries
the advantage OF oil over coal is 80
great that It is used regardless of
price.
Despite tho recent advance of rs
cents por barrel in the price of fuel oil
none OF the large marketers are dis.
posed to make contracts OF over six
months duration.
A recovery in the fuel oil market
is tho one thing required to place the
refining industry in the strongest posi-
ton II has held for years. The de
mand o gasoline is something tire
mendous at present. but during the
past WI years 1t a been carrying
the entire load of the manufacturers.
Supplementing the fixed gasoline de
mand by an active market for fuel
oil will round out the industry in a
most satisfactory manner
