state which was the scene OF ms
youthful exploits to spend MS oe-
clining years. In the spring OF 1904
accompanied by his uncles, Sipe, VINO
was then but Is years of age, started
from Marion county, Iowa, to make
the long trek across the pralrles 10

They we're under the leadership OF
Captain Jacobs, famous wagon BOSS
of those days, and who had charge
of a train of about 100 wagons, ana
perhaps 800 plainsmen. They 1oi-
lowed the trail that had been olazeo
bv Jim Bridger and his 200 wagon

After Jacobs and his train had
Travelled for about three weeks

pany and after few weeks traVei

who had started to blaze the trail
more than a month in advance OF
Jacobs. There was considerable
hard feeling and dissension among
Bridger's men because he was not
getting them to Virginia City as soon
as thew thought he should and final
w after several days of quarrellng
thew reached the Sinking Water,
famous landmark in the early days,
located in the northwestern part OF
Wyoming, but which long since mas
disappeared from off the map. AT
this point, Bridger mounted his
horse and told them that he was
going on to Virginia City. About lOO
wagons out of the 800 followed him
and on July 4, 1864, they reached
the Yellowstone river. Those who
we're too timid made a raft ana
transported their goods across the
river but those who were little
holder forded it. Crossing the yell
lowstone they entered the Gallatin
valley through what is now known
as Bridger canyon. Here they found
the road so steep that the men had
to stay at the top of the hill and
ease the wagons down with rope.

Col. Bridger and his men were
too late for the thrilling experiences
encountered by some of the carrier
stampeders and so experienced no at
tacks from the Indians. They saw
the Sioux Indians while on the Platte
river and ran into the Flatheads in
but both tribes were very
friendly toward them. On July ii
5ipe and his uncles in Bridger's train
entered Virginia City.
The Vigilantes were still in power
but many of the desperadoes that
had infested Virginia City and Ban

left for other parts. The last of the

Estimate of Possible Income

These statements and figures are not exagger-
ated guesses, or hopeful forecasts; they are very
reasonable and fair expectations; we believe they
will be fully realized Experience on the lease
so far, justifies more optimistic assertions
Three completed wells now produce 900 barrels
per day. There is room on the lease for 1872 wells
allowing ten acres to each well. When all are
drilled in, as they contracted to be, they
should, at least, produce 100 barrels per day on
an average-the field average of all wells drilled
to date is 147 barrels-or total of 200 barrels
per day, $4,000 barrels per month, or 6,912,O
barrels per year, of which amount Al per cent, or
2,833,920 barrels, will be the property of Hogan
Oil Company and it's stockholders. Crude oil is
now lower in price than since the pre-war period.
Competent judges prophesy that before three years
Kevin-Sunburst oil will be selling at the well for
$500 per barrel. During the entire life of this
field it should sell at not less than So per barrel
on an average, and if it does average this reason

started in search of his own pony,
finding it behind a clump of willows

Another joke played by these same
miners a few weeks later was on a
young man who, striking gold, had
gone to Salt Lake City and dolled up
in new suit of clothes, shoes and
hat. He came back to the camp and
Immediately proceeded up the little
mountain path to call upon his young
lady friend. On the way to her home
he had to cross a creek on one of
those swinging bridges. The miners
followed him, sawed the bridge so
that when he was crossing on his
way back the bridge broke and he
fell into the water. His new suit was
christened but that young man had
learned his lesson and he never tried
to 'sput on airs" in the Alder Gulch
mining camp again.
