this horizon and all Of them have
encountered oil. The average well
has around 200 barrels initial pro-
| duction, though at least two wells
showed much greater production -
500 and 700 bbls.
In nearly all cases this produc-

below. Drillers usually report it as
black sand but the writer has re-
peatedly examined the drillings and
has been unable to find any sand
in them. The Bair Oil Co. is now
drilling a well on the west flank of
the dome which has probably passed
through the Mowry without a show
ing of oil. The oil pool in the Mowry
covers about $50 acres at the crest
of the dome.
The next and most important pro.
ducing sand is the Dakota, together
with the shaly sand of the Thermo-
polls, or Muddy sand just above it.
The Muddy sand is dark colored and
the Dakota is a fine-grained white
sand. Nine wells have been COM
pleted to the Dakota, 6 of them in
1922. The initial production ranged
from 900 to 1000 bbls. Two of the
wells thot to be producing from
fault zones, came in at 5000 to
1000 bbls. The logs do not indi-
cate that the Dakota has been
reached in these wells, The oil

The Lost Soldier and Miller Hill
districts. taken together. comprise
an extensive uphold, extending from
the Sierra Madre Mountains at right
angles up to the Sweetwater uplift.
The producing structures are paral-
lei to the Sweetwater uplift and the
stresses producing them came from
that direction. The Wertz. Ma
honey, and Ferris domes are struc-
tural high points on one anticlinal
axis running parallel to the Sweet
water uplift. The Little Lost Sol
der dome is a short domelike up
fold almost parallel to the Wertz
dome and lying on its Eastward
side. The Bunker Hill dome is an
other short domelike fold which
lies or the mountainward side of
the Wertz dome. AT Mahoney dome
the anticlinal axis seems to divide,
and a secondary axis starting at the
crest passes through the southwest
corner of the dome and swings
around through the O'Brien Springs
anticline into the Hanna basin. No
other structural high points on his
axis have been found owing to the
surface covering of wind-blown
sand, but the drilling now in pro-
gress may prove that some do exist.
LITTLE LOST SOLDIER
The Little Lost Soldier dome is a
sharp uplift characterized by steep
ly dipping flanks and considerable
dip faulting. The axis runs ap-
proximately north 80 degrees west.
On the west flank the dips increase
rapidly from zero at the crest to As
degrees and then gradually flatten
out. On the east the dips starts at
zero at the crest and increase to
about IS degrees in the syncline
which separates the Lost Soldier
from the Wertz dome. Thu
plunging of the axis to the north
and south is not SO steep, not ex-
ceeding 25 degrees. The closure of
the Lost Soldier dome is about
300 TT.
The Upper Frontier sand is the
shallowest producing sand, being
reached on the apex of the dome at
239 IT. The oil pool in this saNS
covers about $50 acres. The other
sands of the Frontier, even includ-
ing some of the lower lenticular
sands also produce some oil near
the crest of the dome.
The next producing horizon is in
the Mowry formation about 800 #.

NiObrara Formation--In the east
ern part of the state and even in the
Elk Mountain and Miller Hill dis
tricts the Niobrara shale is a distinct
l~ithologic unit. In the Lost Soldier
district. however. the 1885 TT. of
gray shale from the top of the up
per Frontier sandstone to the ton
of a very persistent yellow concre-
tionary claystone seem to be with
out a lithologic break of any kind.
Near the middle of his bed of
shale Ostrea congesta and I~nocera-
mus deformis can occasionally be
found though they are rare. Nearer
the top crinoif remains are locally
numerous. c. II. Hares savs the
crinoids are characteristic of the
Niobrara in other localities. The
division in the table is an arbitrary
one. N to conform with strait
graphy of other districts the lower
300 TT. should probably be called
Garlic shale and the upper 400 1T.
Included in the Steele shale.
Steele Shalc.-The Steele shale
consists of 4,52O 1T. of dark shale
with an irregular sandstone at the
base. This lower sandstone is
probably the source of the oil in
the G. p. dome. 1t also forms the
rimrock around the Mahoney and
Little Lost Soldier domes. 1t is n
valuable horizon marker both when
exposed at the surface and when
encountered in wells. The 1,2OO TT.
OF the formation is sandy, grading
into the Mesaverde. The upper
limit Is placed at the base of a
persistent sugary white massive
sandstone, known locally as the
Lower Teapot. Under this subdivi-
sion the Steele shale contains some
very thick and persistent sandstone
beds in its upper part.

The limit Of the pool in the Da-
kota sand has not been proved. 1t
seems possible that the area will be
as great as 1900 acres. The ac-
tually proved area from wells now
completed is about 500 acres. The
