Crude Price Differential
At Lost Soldier Explained

RAwLINS. wTyo., July 2o-owing
TO the fact tina there has been much
comment upon the present differen-
tial existing between the price of
crude oil from the ost Soldier and
the Salt Creek Fields. a repi~ sentative
of The Republican this weak obtained
sn interview with W. II. Lovesy, pur-
chasing and traffic agent OF h Utah
Oil and Refining Company of Salt
Lake City.
Mr.. Lovesy In explaining the mat,
ter from the standpoint of the Utah
company said:
ION March 1. 1923 the Utah on and
Refining Company posted a scale of
prices on Lost Soldier crude and feel
that they are giving the producers
g. fair price for this crude, and in
fact IL the crude was not there to be
purchased Il would be of great ad-
vantage to the company to purchase
and run on Salt Creek and Rock
River crudes.
Utah OIL and Refining Company
paid the Salt Greek price for Lost
Soldier crude oil during the p6iod
that there was q very small produc.
ton from the shallow sands and dur.
ing the time that the pipeline was
not operating in a normal way, but
rs soon as production was found in
the deeper sands and tho oil was
found to be 2s-31 gravity and from
laboratory analysis was found to con.
tain only approximately 8 to 10 per
cent of 1850 gravity gasoline az
against 25 to % per cent Of IS Qnv.
ify gasoline contained in Salt Creek
crude. then 1t was necessary to post
q price in the field for Lost Soldier
crude based upon the refining values.
The Lost Soldier crude contains con.
siderable sulphur and requires acid
for treatment. 1t also contains q
very much larger percentage of heavy
fuel residium than either the Salt
Creek or Rock Creek crudes and this
fuel Tesidium 10 sold or consumed
against the low price of coal In our
territory.
Utah OIL and Refining Company
does not claim to have any monopoiy
on the purchase of the Lost Soldier
crude oil either thru contract or any
arrangement with the producers and
tnasmuch Al tho Utah Oil Refinins
Company Is a large producer in the
field we have attempted to sell con,
siderable of the production to othe,
r~efinerles. For instance, we have

Company at Florence, Colorado and
others, but apparently these ~refineries
do not want the Lost Soldier crude
since they can obtain the Salt Creek
which yields much higher refining
values and this In itself should be
self-evident that tho Lost Soldier
crude does not contain the refining
values that the Salt Creek or Rock
Creek -crudes contain.
Some producers and friends Of mo.
ducers, have from time to time stated
that the Lost Soldier crude contains
large and extra values in lubricating
oils and ~refiners will concede that IL
contains only fair values inasmuch as
superior lubricants can be made out
Of Rock Crock and Salt Creek crudes.
In other words a higher fire test on
the lubricants can be obtained and
also a superior grade of wax can be
made put of Rock Creek and Salt
Creek crudes. There is not as much
amorphous wax in the other crudes
as there is in Lost Soldier.
In addition to this, interested par
ties should bear In mimi that all re.
filming plants west of Chicago are
running to gasoline and that fubri.
cants are incidental b~y-products. In
the East where there are large man.

A the present time the Utah or
hefining Company can purchase crude
oil In o. Angeles. California and brins
It into Salt Lake and make more
money out Of It than out of the Los,
Soldier crude, but we feel inasmuch
as We are directly interested In the
field ourselves int our friends have
interests there that We do not wani

we trust. however. that those inter
ested in Lost Soldier field will appre

DETAILS ARE WITHHELD

The seizure of the steam tug John
L. Cam, off the plant of the Barber
| Asphalt Company at o'clock on
Friday night, with cargo of liquor,
| has again placed the officials of the
local customs office in the lime light.
/ as having made one of the most i'm
portant seizures since the case of the
Harbinger. 1t was not without great
| difficulty that the capture of the
Cam was made and during the trip
to New York a hand to hand battle
took place between the bootleggers
and the custom officials, which for
a time appeared as if the smugglers
would gain the upper hand.
The custom officers who accom-
pIished the seizure weis Deputy
| Collector John Regan, who is in
charge of the local customs house
and Inspector John r. Murphy. 1t
was the almost super-human effort
that Regan and Murphy fought eff
the attacks of the twelve men on
board the vessel, and r ore than
once shots w re fired from the re-
volvers of the smugglers and GUS
toms officers The smugglers SEEM
ed to be bent on making a get away
with the liquor, and even threaten
ed to kill the two customs men in
order to carry out their Flans.
Deputy Collector Regan today de-
clined to go into details .oncerning
the attacks made upon himself and
Inspector Murphy, but showed
bruises as the result of the encoun-
ters. He hinted, however that some
startling information wou1 be forth
coming before the case ia settled.
1t is not known whether Jr not
captain of the vessel had planned to
unload the stuff in this city, but it
was learned today that about half
hour before the vessel was seized,
that it was trying to nose its way in
to shore near the dry dock, then
later started UP stream.
