duction possibilities. 1t is stated
district daily from various parts of
that If but 20 to IS per cent of this
structure is productive. from 10000
to 10000 acres will provide a pro-
duction with a potential value of
$50 million dollars. using an esti-
mate of 10000 recoverable values
to an acre as a basis. The finding
of oil in commercial quantities will
definitely establish the productivity
of favorable areas west of the con-
tinental divide to as far west as the
great displacements of Evanston and
kemmerer. For a considerable time
many biologists have discredited the
possibilities of securing commercial

nloration and development work in
