Natrona Pioneer Who SAN Possibilities

Harry and Edward Iba, are resi-

In 1880, Mr.. Iba. with a group of
hardy adventurers crossed Wyom-

passed over what has since come
to be the city of Casper. He saw
oil seepages on OIL mountain which
is approximately rs miles northwest
of the city. near the Bessemer

Mr.. Iba was to visit Wyoming

to the front "a one OF the worlds
leading industries. Operators were
stretching out into new territory

In 1888 Mr.. Iba conceived the idea
of returning to Wyoming to pros

what is now Casper. for oil. He
made the trip overland from the
Black Hills and after covering the
surrounding territory for n radius
OF 100 miles. chose what is now the
Salt Creek main field. rs the most
Likely prospect. That his Judgment
was correct IL evidenced today by
the greatest light oil producing
field in the world-the Salt Creek
field. -
At that time. the idea OF govern

and to do the prescribed amount of

claims on any land IN what has now

acres. The past and estimated flu

unable for many years to interest

In 1895 the Pennsylvania Oil &
Gas company was organized with n
capitalization of 5000. 900 to operate
in the Wyoming fields. This COM
pany took over all the Shannon
holdings, amounting TO approx
mately 10000 acres in the Salt
Creek basin and the refinery at
Casper. Mr.: Shannon was made the
president and general manager OF
the company.
At the time of the organization
of this company there had been
ten wills drilled in the Shannon
fled, all of which were producing
oil.
i, ginning in 1897 and continuing
for the next ten years there was a
constant battle over the rights to
claims in the Salt Creek field. In
that year the Central Association
Oil company Jumped all of the
claims held by Mr.. Iba and his as.
~sociates. claiming that the proper
assessment work had not been done
TO retain title to the land. The mat.
ter was taken into the courts and
the Central company lost the de-
clsion.

continued to do the regular assess-
ment work annually to hold the
land. They dug holes on various
locations on their claims and in
variably found oil showings war

About 1887 p. NJ. Shannon. after
whom the Shannon sand of the
Wyoming fields Is named, came TO
Wyoming to explore the possibilities
in the vicinity of Salt Creek. He
had a reputation as n successful
operator in the Pennsylvania fields
and the territory here impressed
him as fruitful of opportunities.
About the year 1888. Mr.. Shan
non was able TO ship the drilling
material from Pennsylvania to
Wyoming and in that year the first
well was drilled in what was to be-
come the Shannon field. adjacent
to the present main Salt Creek

barrel pumper In the first Shannon

Between then and 1895. Mr..
Shannon drilled several more wells
and conclusively proved the terri
