Elko a Proved Oil Field

Elko a Proved Oil Field
The assertion that the Elko field
is proved as oil bearing can now
be made without fear of successful
contradiction. The presence of a
sand well saturated with high grade
petroleum has already become ap.
parent. Two other sands at ap.
proximately 900 and 1000 feet
carrying light production, have beer
passed by the company. The pre-
liminary sand in which the drill
now rests proves the genesis OF
petroleum here in quantity. The
depth of the major sand is ap
proximately 1000 feet.-Elko hide,

Colorado, for the 1928 season, shows
an increase of about IS per cent above
the 1922 acreage, which was placed
around 1,200 acres.
1t is estimated that in the Weld
county district from 600 to 700 acres

Increase over last season. Due to
floods early in the season this crop
suffered damage. Estimates indicate
that approximately % per cent of the
acreage was damaged. The condition
of the remaining acreage is better than
the crop was one year ago at approx
mately the same time. The poor con-
ditiOn of the crop last season was part
ly due to shortage Of water. However,
there has been an ample supply of wa
ter this year. The present condition
is about so per cent, with an average
Of about IS per cent.
A recent report issued by the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture, gives the

states compared with the 1922 acre
ages: Indiana, 6,018 acres, compared
with 5,184 in 1922; Ohio, 5,752 acres,

remcve this basket; and it contained
bottles of wine and liquors for Made

1t was the demeanOr of Stewart and

Apparently they felt no anxiety or even

had been covertly watching them, now
made his scrutiny open, even aggres

In her growing excitement Madeline
had not clearly heard Ambrose's low
whispers and she made an effort to
distract some Of her attention from
those below to the cowboy crouching
beside her.

whisper had changed. It had a slight
sibilant sound.
