and the well does not flow. The
axis of the structure has a north

This structure is located in T. is,
R. rs and T. II, r. rs, about 3 or
4 miles east of James Lake, and
about Is miles northwest of Lara
ME. geographically the area pre-
sents a gently rolling surface which
consists of Alluvium and Terrace de-
posits. The Steele shale outcrops in
in a few places and the Mesaverde
formation is prominent to the north
and northwest. The axis of the
structure bears nearly north and

Cooper Cove
Cooper Cove is located in the
southwest part OF T. Is Il. n and the
southeast corne OF T. Is r. rs,
about 10 miles southeast of the
Rock Field field and about 80 miles
northwest of Laramie. 1t is a small
natural basin practically surrounded
by low hills to the north, east and
south, and the foothills of the Medi-
cine Bow Range to the west. The
floor of the basin is nearly level and
is crossed in a northeasterly direc-
ton by Cooper Creek. The exposures
in the surrounding hills show the
MeSaverde sandstones and light
colored shales the dark shales
of the Steele formation. No detailed
study of the structure was made, but
il is believed to be On the same gen.
eral fold with the Rock Creek struc-
ture.
Development has been going on for
some time in this area but as yet no
wells have reached the oil produc-
ing sand. The Utah Oil Refining Co.
of Salt Lake City is operating, and
the fifth we'll, IN the swH sec. 20
1917, was lost at a depth of 1875
IT,, having failed to reach the Mud
dy sand, and had to- be abandoned.
The depth OF this sand was original
ly estimated at $500 to 1000 IT., and
the additional depth is difficult to
account for, unless the hole was
drilled thru the axis OF the struc-
ture into the sleeper dips on the
west side of the fold, or unless there
was faulting not observed at the
surface.

James Lake the Western Petroleum
Co. suspended operations indefinite

ern Holding Co. OF St. Louis drilled
on the neH sec. 3-17-76 in 1920 to
a depth OF $3.50 it., without getting
production.
The Two Rivers Anticline, lying
about S or 6 miles east of the James
Lake structure, is apparently a paral-
lei structure, as 1t has a nearly north
and south avis. 1t is located in the
southwest portion OF T. Is, X. "A and
the northwest portion Of 1875. The
Steele shale is exposed along the
north bank of the Laramie River,
which crosses the anticline in a west
erly and northwesterly direction.
This area is somewhat lower strait
graphically than the James Lake
field. The Ohio Oil Co. abandoned
its test on sec. ~23-1S-74, after get
ting water in the Wall Creek at 1915
to 1865 IT.. the Muddy at 1910 to
1880 it., and the Dakota at 209O to
2107 It. This structure apparently
did not have sufficient dips to- trap
the oil.

Sand Springs, Okla, May 21.-As

Today the boy, now grown to man

realization of his immature dream
in this utopian town he founded just
seven miles from the outskirts Of
Tulsa.
Sand Springs, the city as Page III
tended it to be, is built about what
is probably the most unique and
charitable organization in the United
States.
The nucleous Of it's life is the Sand
Springs Home, an institution estab-
lished to shield orphaned boys and
girls from some Of the hard knocks
which Page had experienced most
his life.
Sand Springs Home owns outright
more than $4,000 acres Of fat farm

ties.
Altogether, Sand Springs Home, is
perhaps the wealthiest institution
and power in Oklahoma.
It's holdings and revenue run up
into the millions every year.
The hundred boys and girls shield
ed by it's broad expanse of modern
buildings enjoy all the comforts and
privileges of guests invited for. a

country estate.
FAMILY ATMOSPHERE
And Sand Springs Home asks
nothing in return save that they
fashion themselves into good men
and women.
The institution operates more like
large family and does not smack
in any wise of institutional air.
There are parties, vacations, and
time for recreation in model pley-
yards equipped with every ,conceiv-
able kind of apparatus from swim

Page made his last stand and
leaped to fortune when almost so.
The jinx Of hard luck and poverty
that had pursued him since boyhood
trailed him still irio the switchyards

the lumber and mining camps of the
cattle ranches of, the great plains.
This pathway finally brought him

Just south Of the Kansas line Page
halted and drove his tent peg to take
one last chance.

warded by oil.
The first we'll was followed by
others, and soon Page, the dreaming
orphaned boy, had the millions
which made his early dream come
true.

Paris, May 2l.--During the East

Union of Students Association of
