Promising areas in Township 50, in
the vicinity Of Section 2 of the new
survey or II of the old survey have
been leased the past two weeks to
A. NJ. Berringer who proposes to drill
for oil as soon rs water flows In the
Cody canal In the spring. The land Is
located o n Upper Sage creek and the
well will be spudded in OF the south
east corner of Section 2, near the
Charles Gawthrop sDA Fred Schultz
-anches near Cody.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. d. Newton were
much elated at the prospects shown
In the new well which they are drill,
Ing on their properties in the LaBarge
fields as they report hat oil was en-
countered at the shallow depth Of
about 500 feet. A sample bottle Of
this oil was sent away for analysis.
This Is taken to mean that a greater
production Will be found in the sands
which lie below where the drill Is
at present and preparations are being
made to sink still deeper.
According to Field Manager Mr..
Hammond, the acreage of beets grown
in the Lowell factory district for the
Great Western Sugar Company was
roughly 4,535 acres. 1,935 of which
were on the Powell fiat, 600 at Basin
and the remainder Of 1000 divided
among the districts of Kane, Lowell,
Cowley. Beaver and Mantua. Ham,
mono says the beets about Henderson
and Basin averaged slightly heavier
yields per ton than up the Shoshone
valley country. The average Mt Basin
was twelve tons, whereas 1t was liz
tons in the Lowell area and only 1Oh
tons about Powell. A year ago the
average in the Powell country was
liz tons.
The Albany County Coal Company,
owning a fine vein Of coal three
fourths Of n mile from McFadden, Mt
the Ohio OIL Company's Rock Creek
camp. began mining coal from a vein
eight feet thick and estimated to con-
tain coal values at s1,5OO,OOO. The
mine has been worked down on a
slope to 40 feet. Alfred Nelson Of
Laramie Is the president of the COM
pany and J. A. Mckay Is the mine
superintendent. Seven miners are ut
work and 200 are to be put to work in
two months II they can be had. The
coal Is disposed Of locally now. being
hauled by truck to Rock River and
there loaded on cars.
Prospects that the Salt Creek Pro-
ducers' Association will abolish its
conservation committee during the
coming year are held out In reports
that n meeting of members will be
called soon ut which time the matte-
will be discussed. The conservation
committee. whose rules limiting new
development work In Salt Creek were
observed during the last yenr by all
operators, has estimated TINT pipe line
capacity of the field will permit the
drilling of GOO new wells In 1924. Op-
orators are agreed that this number
will hardly be reached, even II the lid
is taken off entirely. and It is con-
sidered probable that such a decision
will be reached ut the coming meeting.
