A New Oil Field
in Carbon County
Producers & Refiners Corporation
Brings in Well Unexpectedly Near
Elk Mountain POstOffice.

According to newspaper reports, the
Producers & Refiners Corporation has
brought in n producing well within a
few miles of the village of Elk Noun
tain in Carbon county, some 40 miles
northeast of Saratoga, and u short
distance south of the old town of Car
bon. The producing sands were
reached last Thursday, at Il depth of
only 64O feet Concerning this find,
the Wyoming Tribune said
wyoming has Il new oil field, pro-
ducicg crude which is of apparently
the same gravity as thai yielded by
the wells of the Grass Creek area-the
best quality in the state. This new
field is on the Simpson Ridge anti
cline, about eight miles south OF the
main line of the Union Pacific rail-
road. - miles southeast of Hanna and
40 miles east of Parco. the site of the
refinery of the Producers & Refiners
corporation, which brought in the new
well on Thursday on a block of 1000
acres, comprising Union Pacific and
state land.
This well is one of the unexpected
successes that makes the Oil industry
as interesting as it is uncertain, for
the sand which is yielding the oil and
nIii1lI 10 idhN 10 iii
Shannon, was encountered at $40 feet.
The oil rose almost to the top of the
20-inch casing rhen the tools got four
inches into the pay and later began to
flow through this big pipe. The OBJ
~jective of h hole was the Wall Greek
series, which begins at a depth of be-
tween $500 and 1000 feet.
1.-THE exact location of the new well
is on the northwest quarter of section
20-21-S0. The hole started in the
Pierre shale, which is known to have
several sands scattered through 1t.
The structure stands up like a sore
thumb and is, according to biologists
who have. examined It, extremely ia
vorable for the production of oil, as it
is fully closed.
'The Producers < Refiners corpOr-
alton has held leases on this structure
or the greater part If 1t for six years.
and has twice returned the leases, ow-
ing to the expense of drilling to the
Wall Greek formations. Each time,
however. the company has renewed its
leases. and n few weeks ago started
drilling to the lower sands at an esti-
mated cost of 100000. The discovery
Of a pay sand at such shallow depth
will postpone the ultimate test for
some time.
"Tanknge is being moved Into the
new field and when it is placed a test
of the capacity of the well will he
made. The Shannon sand is estimat-
ed at 40 feet in thickness and If it is
pay all the way through It will indi-
cate a long lived field. In all proba-
biiity the rig will be skidded over and
a new hole started at once, providing
the test is satisfactory"

Fatal Auto Wreck
==LOcal Man Dead
George l.. Nesbitt Passed Away Tues
day Morning at Rawlins Hospital
Injured in Smash Friday.

George L. Nesbitt, for many years
a Well known resident of Saratoga,
died early Tuesday morning at the
Rawlins hospital from injuries re-
ceived in an automobile wreck on the
Lincoln Highway just west of Fort
Steele last Friday evening. 1t is said
that the injured man never fully re
gained consciousness, and the nature or
extent of his injuries could not be
fully determined. He was seriously
injured about the head, however, and
1T is supposed these injuries caused his
death.
In the car at the time of the acct
dent were Robert Corpening and son,
Howard, and Mr.. Nesbitt. They had
spent the afternoon in Rawlins and
were enroute home. Howard Corpen-
ing was driving and the car was tray
cling at II good speed when suddenly
it Swerved to the side of the road and
turned completely over. spilling all the
occupants and stopping right side up
some forty feet distant. A broken ra-
dius rod is said to have been the di-
rect cause of Ii fatal accident.
\ number of travellers were near the
scene of the wreck and they immedi-
ately gave first aid to the injured and
phoned to Rawlins for an ambulance.
All three were taken to the Memorial
hospital, where it was found that Mr..
Corpening has sustained only bruises
and abrasions. For a day or two it
was believed that the boy had suffered
"A broker collar bone, but late reports
say that although ne was considerably
crushed about the chest and shoulders,
no fractures have been found. Mr..
Nesbitt suffered serious injury about
the head and perhaps some internal
injuries, and all that medical all and
hospital care could do were of no
avail.
He was a member of the local Ma
sonic lodge, and the funeral will be
in charge of that order, taking place
This afternoon from the Masonic Hall.
Interment will be in the local Gene
terry.
Deceased was 81 years of age and
had been a resident of this section for
about 30 years. He was formerly in
the sheep business and of late years
had been raising and specializing in
horses M owned "A considerable num-
Der. He also owned several business
n residence properties in Rawlins
and Saratoga. He had DO relatives in
this state, but is said to nave brothers,
sisters and other relatives in Kansas,
Indiana and Michigan. 1t is said two
Of the brothers viii he here this af-
ternOon to attend the funeral service.
