The Elk Mountain pilot., 1922-05-11

The different sedimentary systems
cial oil has been discovered, through
out the Rocky Mountain slopes, from
New Mexico and Arizona to and in
cluding Canada are, reading DOWN
ward, Cretaceous, Jurassic and the
upper half of the Pennsylvanian.
The Cretaceous, particularly the
lower series, represents the greater
number and largest producing fields
throughout the entire territory. In
certain parts of Wyoming there is a
producing sand in the lower series of
the Jurassic and also one or two
sands in the upper five hundred feet
of the Pennsylvania.
Oil has been discovered in North
western New Mexico in the upper Sc
res of the Pennsylvanian and there
were over twenty producing wells
drilled at Goodrich Southeastern
Utah and directly across the San
Juan river in the Navajo Indian les
ervation of Arizona, these were ali in
the Pennsylvania system.
In Gunnison county particularly on
Ohio Creek, the surface, more or less
erroded away, is Lower Cretaceous.
the total thickness of which is two
thousand feet, then thin layer of
Triassic and another thin layer of
Jurassic representing four to five
hundred feet; these lay Immediately
upon the Pennsylvania.
Thus, it will be seen, that practic-
ally an extreme depth of three thou
sand feet drilling would penetrate all
of the known producing oil sands that
exist throughout the entire Rocky
Mountain uplift, and there is no good
reason to doubt the existence of oil
in some of these formations, if not
all of them, in this particular section
of 0unnison county, while there are
many known indications pointing to
the fact that oil does exist and in
commercial quantities.

Convention of Club Women

The Semi-annual Club Women's
Convention of the Southwest District
was held at Gunnison last Friday and
Saturday, May 5 and 6. A number of
outside delegates were in attendance
and the meeting was very helpful
and inspiring.
Friday evening reception was
given at the l. o. o. F. hall by the
local club women, about one hundred
fifty being present. On Saturday at
noon delicious luncheon was served
at La Veta Hotel for the visiting del
egates and members of the clubs of
our city, after which an auto ride and
visit to the College closed a very
successful convention.
Mrs. A. A. Miller of Colorado
Springs, president of the State Fed
GRAFTON, was present and gave several
very interesting talks, which were
greatly enjoyed by all.

POSSIBLE OIL BEAR
ING FORMATIONS
Encountered in Gunnison County

Recently the question has been
raised as to the probable depth of
possible oil bearing formations before
striking granite.
Practically all the sedimentary sys-
TENS and series of rocks from the pre-
Cambrian to the Quaternary, or pres
ent, with varying thicknesses, are
represented on 10th slopes of the
Rocky Mountain uplift.
All of the known sedimentary sys-
TENS are not uniformly represented
throughout the entire uplift but in
specific localities some of them are
found missing while other localities
may have the missing system with
others missing; this is due to the
different localities, at the certain
periods, being either submerged be-
meath the seas and receiving the sed-
imentary deposits while the other
localities werc out of the waite and
furnished the sedimentary deposits
at the time.
The sedimentary rocks represented
in Gunnison county are of several
thousand feet in thickness and in the
major cases granite is beyond the
reach of the oil drill except in such
cases as where local faults appear of
eruptive intrusions-
The sedimentary rocks in Gunnison
county contain all the different sys-
TENS in which producing oil has been
discovered along the entire Rocky
Mountain uplift, and in the Ohio
Creek district are all commercially
reachable by the drill.

sLANDERERs BACKUP

The libel suit instituted by The
Committee of 4S against the United
Americans for the publication of an
article in 1920 misrepresenting the
purposes of The Committee of 49,, has
been settled out of court, and the fol-
lowing retraction of the article in
question has been issued by the Unit
ed Americans:
"In March 1920, United American
issued to number of newspapers in
the United States, a statement con-
corning radicalism in the United
States. Throughout this statement
reference was made to Radicals,
Reds, Communist, T. w. W., etc.
This statement was based upon GER
tain information received by United
Americans from supposedly reliable
sources.
"Among the organizations men,
toned by United Americans was the
Committee of 49,. Since issuing this
statement, we have found that the
inclusion of the Committee of 49,
with organizations dec ib in the
article mentioned was not justified
and not based in facts. The article
mentioned said among other things:
"'The Committee of 4S, which was
organized at Highland. New York,
June "a to 80, 1919, under the leader
ship of Albert Rhys Williams, press
agent for Lenine, with the aid of
number of the more notorious radl-
Gals in America, is also hard at work,
though silently ard subtly.'
"Our investigation disc 'oses that
this statement is untrue in all its de-
tails and is contrary to the record of
the origin and development of the
Committee of A..
at appears that the Committee of
49, was organized by group of men
who although they believe in public
ownership Of certain utilities. could
not in any serse be described as, or
classed with Radicals, Reds, Com
munists', t. W. W., etc.
THE Committee of 4S' was organ
lied by group of liberal men and
women who. feeling disappointed in
the leadership of both Roosevelt and
Wilson. had lost faith in both politi-
cal parties. These people, feeling
that the acute problems of American
life demanded new political align
ment, issued call to Americans who
are equally opposed to reaction and
violent revolution, inviting all those
who agreed to unite with them in
organizing a conference of Liberal
Americans who should formally dis.
cuss and decide as to what political
action, if any, should be wise for
Liberals to take in the Presidential
election in 1920. 1t is declared by
the executives of the Committee of
AZ that at no time during it's exist
ence was the Committee of 49, in
sympathy with any movement that
did not aim at political reform
through the ballot.
'It appears that this 'calp in a dis.
torted form fell into the hands of
writer who misrepresented the facts
to the Press department Of United
americans
"United Americans regret their
failure to verify the information
concerning the Committee of 49, be-
fore the release of this article to the
American Press and now seek to right,
so far as possible, the wrong done to
the Committee of 49,.

First Car over Blue Mesa


Paonia, Colo, May 10, 1922.
Mr. C, T. Rawalt
Dear Sir:
We arrived at Sauinero in good
rider and on good time; stopped at
ne Of the cabins for the night and
started early in the morning to cross
Blue mesa. We were accompanied
~ party of three young men from
Nebraska, who were on their way to
Grand Junction, and felt reasonably
sure that our party would be able to
,eeotiate the Blue with a little hard
work.
The road was in fair shape with
the exception of three-mile stretch
rear the Halfway house. We assisted
the Henrys in several mud slides and
had to be hauled over hundred foot
snow slide by the road crew
We lost about an hours time from
ordinary travel and the road was not
nearly as bad as we anticipated.
If the weather is the same on Blue
mesa as it is here now the road is
apt to be blocked by snow again. A
blizzard is raging and fear is felt for
tee Paonia fruit crop.
We consider we were extremely
lucky in getting through. Had we de-
layed our trip several hours we
should have been marooned in the
hills.
There is still much snow at Snow
shoe creek and we will not get to the
ranch for a few days.
Yours,
A p KNJJJ
