oil drilling operations in he south
ern part of Carbon county by the
Dutch-Shell interests. it now seems
that possibly 4 new doodle-bug has
been discovered. The Routt County
Sentinel published at Steamboat
Springs, Colo. springs the following:
Competition is opening new oil
fields Is sharp between the Standard
Oil interests and the Rothschilds-
Dutch syndicate behind the plan to
make the Moffat road and the Bur-
linston links in a new transcontin-
entail railroad system. The Midwest
Oil & Refining company, a member
Of the Rockefeller group, has unload
ed 100000 pounds Of material at
Watson the end of the Unintah rail-
way. to be transported to the new
field in the Hill Creek district, AS

The Emery camp buildings on g.

Waterman who says IL the borrower

was evidently overlooked. Surely
this job will not have to be charged
to the degenerate who carried a stove
away from one OF the G. P. storm
shelters a short time ago. Manager
Waugh says his company don't mind
loaning the outfit but would like to
know who borrowed 1t.
A. c. Graham, manager for the

his position Of manager, he has been
! elected as n Of the three directors
by the unanimous vote of 400 stock
holders. Mr.. Graham states Thai his
company are encouraged considerably
through reports OF Sand Hills

. no doubt defer further drilling until
that company reaches the Dakota
sands. Mr.. Graham will go from here
to Arkansas where his company own
proven acreage.
Mr.. Ralph johnson returned from

low 3470 feet.
Fort Collins and, Cheyenne are
both confident of having the Denver
gas line from Mahoney Dome pass
through those respective cities on its
way to Denver. A number OF Nebraska
communities are figuring on having
Wyoming gas carried on to serve that

done.
