P. & R. STRIKE OIL
ON SEPARATION FLATS
CL STANDING IN HOLE AT A DEPTH OF 1850 feet
ON WELL Being DRILLED ON SEPARA-
ton FLATS NORTH OF CITY

Prospects are exceptionally brigh'
for the bringing in of a new oil
field lust a few miles from the city
as the Producers G. Refiners drilling
on Separation Flats now have a hole
with considerable oil in 1t.
Some time since the p. & r. hit
oil showings in this well but be
fore they could drill into the sand
their water line froze up and they
found it necessary to put in a new
water line. Following this it was
decided to land a string of 10 inch
casing before drilling further.
Work of landing this 10 inch cas-
ing has progressed rapidly and this
morning the job will be entirely
completed and drilling will b. re-
sumed.
Officials of the Producers & Re-
timers state that they do not know
exactly where the oil in the hole is
coming from and that they will not
be able to decide until drilling has
progressed a few feet further. The
oil may be coming either from tho
Mowry sands or from the top OF the
Dakota sands.
Indications are that this we'll will
come in a big producer within q
very short time and In anticipation
nt this event tanka&e Is now being
placed on the ground and everything

Flats proves an entire new structure
and will give Rawlins another OF
field which will be located approx
mateiy l6 miles from this city. Thi.
structure is estimated as compris
ing more than 1000 acres.
The Texas. New York and Mid
vest Oil companies at II time had
a part or all OF this structure leased
hut failed to get production because
they located their wells off struc-
ture. or failed to drill to a sufficient
depth.
The Texas company drilled first.
the New York Oil company second
and the Midwest last. The Midwest
surrendered It's lease upon this land
approximately two years ago. Last
spring the Producers G Refiners
made an Investigation OF this stsuc-
tnre ana believing It offered posi-
bilitics secured a lease upon 1t.
This structure was located in the
fall OF 1916 by Rawlins parties and
has been held continuously by them
~ since. The lease held by the r.

TO TREASURER
FINAL FIGURES ON SEMI.ANNUAL TAX
PAYMENTS SHOW few TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF Law

treasurer for Carbon county. yester-
day stated that a check of all re-
ceipts issued by her office up to
and including November 10th show
that n few over 1900 people paid
either half or all of their taxes.
OF these 1900 taxpayers over 500
did not take advantage OF the semi
annual payment plan but paid their
entire tax. About 500 taxpayers
paid onc-half OF their taxes and now
have the privilege CT waiting until
May 10th before paying the remain
der.
Mrs, Heath states that there are
in Carbon county approximately
400 taxpayers so the $500 who
did not make payment by last Sat
urday must pay the entire amount
OF their axe before January first
next In order TO prevent the tax
from being declared delinquent ana
having penalty and interest added.
The statement by The Republican
last week to the effect that the
farmer n small taxpayer is not
taking advantage OF this semi-an-
nual tax payment Law IL further
borne out by n complete check OF
the records.

Pacific railroad. the Y. =. Coal
company. the large sheep companies.

OF the county have In practically ev-
cry instance taken advantage OF the
