y57 feet. oil standing several hundred
feet In the hole with a ten-inch baileI
pulling from seven to ten barrels
per hour without apparent effect
The sand will be penetrated a little
deeper and then s n inch casing Sc,
through 1t in order to retain the oil
for production as it is intended tc
deepen the we'll to the Muddy sands
where previous tests have proven big
gas production. AS stated in these
columns last week, the big gasser on
section 36-26-S7 is gradually losing
pressure and increasing it's oil pro,
dnction until it is practically con.
coded to be an oil we'll. The
"Wertz" we'll Is miles due west OF
the Custer camp is owned by the
Producers & Refners and it, too, is
making over 200 barrels of oil per
day although having an enormous
gas pressure Of about 1900 pounds
per square inch. The Republicans
predictions OF another Salt Creek in
the Rawlins territory still stand at
par.
Oil In Fuel Gas Lines
Word raj brought TO town last
Monday by a drilling contractor that
the fuel gas line from Mahoney Dome
supplying his camp was carrying
traces Of oil for the past sew
erar days and that 1t was apparent
that n Of the biggest gassers on
the hill was gradually blowing itself
in as an oil we'll. While this may
prove to be a freak and in no way
tend to shorten the natural life of
the gas wells. four Of which now
foye a combined production OF over
150,000,000 Gu. IT. per day. 1t Is very
encouraging proof Of the theory that
great oil stores are held on either
flank OF Mahoney Dome. AS the gas
pressure is released the oil will fol-
low. In the meantime many tests on
the thanking territory are being plan
ned for the coming season.
Offices OF the Dutch Shell "Mata-
dor" company in Cheyenne have been
closed and employees moved to other
points. %evidencing withdrawal from
this state until the status OF foreign
companies are defined by the Sec,
rotary of Interior.
The Republican is in correspond
ence with a Refining organization
located in the South which states
that 1t Is progressing very rapidly
with its refinery and pipe line project
for Wyoming and will visit Rawlins
in the near future and take the mat
ter up In a personal way with the
Rawlins Board of Trade.
