MallOney Dome.


The Kasoming Oil Company of
which West & Hazlett are the direct
ing heads was the first to secure
production on Mahoney Dome, al
though the Midwest previously held
a lease on practically all of the
acreage thought to be on the struc-
ture which 1t abandoned after drill
ing one we'll to a depth Of 1910 feet.
1t was then that the Kasoming en-
tered that territory and soon devel-
oped a gas we'll that vas originally
rated at sixty million cubic feet
daily. The well was struck and fired
by lightning, which burned for seven
weeks and lighted the country about
for miles and miles. The roar of the
well could be heard for twelve miles
and at night the flames could be dis
tincily seen from the top Of the Con-
tinental Divide forty miles away.
Since then the Kasoming have drilled
in another big gasser and have sew
eral derricks strung and spotted for
further development. The Kasoming
holds several sections Of proven ter
ritory and it is understood will erect
a large camp at some central point
the coming spring.
The Ohio OIL Company also have
several sections OF proven territory
on Mahoney Dome, among them be-
ing School section SO. Two good
gas wells have been developed on
this section and others spotted. The
Ohio has also contracted the drilling
of a we'll on its $50 acres east Of the
school section. 1t has established
quite a camp on the school section
and its further activities are said to
have been approved at headquarters.

quarter section adjoining the first
Kasoming we'll O. section "a Ma
