The Inland Oil Index OF Casper,
which. by the way was formerly the
Wyoming Oil World. announces that
Salt Creek seems assured of pipe
line facilities sufficient to carry fifty
times the present possible production
Of 100000 barrels per day for the
entire state of Wyoming. This
statement is qualified by taking into
account the several companies thai
announce construction IF they can
contract sufficient barrelage to pay.
Among recent rumorS the most dis
quieting to the citizens of the state
is a proposed pipe line to Kansas
City or a point in Indiana. An inter-
view given the press in Cheyenne
Monday by John d. Clark. vice
president of the Midwest Refining
Co.. states that it probably will be
necessary to construct a pipe line
from the Wyoming oil fields to the
Missouri river to provide a market
for the states steadily increasing
wealth. Wyoming's production this
! year will average about $4,000 bar
rels daily. he said. but the state is
capable of producing 100000 barrels
daily, with present development, and
a market greater than thai which
| Wyoming %reineries provide appears
to be an imminent necessity. The
statement was made in an address to
the Lions club.
Mr.. I. A. Define. general manager
of the Sand Hills Oil Co.. arrived
from Portland, Oregon, Monday
morning to attend a business meet
ing and visit the properties of the
company. He expresses himself as
delighted with the condition of the
Sand Hills last oil showing and also
the fact that. the company recently
received a substantial check from the
General Petroleum for the last oil
which the Sand Hills had put through
the G. p. connection with the Illinois
Pipe Line Co. Several former oil de-
liveries have been made, says Mr..
Define, n it now looks much like
the Sand Hills has brighter prospects
OF becoming a big property than ever
before. Mr.. Define will make a bus
mess trip to Denver before returning
to Portland.

and further test had to be abandon
