In spite of the political excitement
prevailing the state the interest in
It's OIL resources are not abating n
Whlt, but on the contrary it is in
creasing. The people are Just awak-
ening to the fact hat although the
ranges may dry up and refuse sus-
tenance to stock and destroy one of
Wyoming's greatest industries that
the Oil fields when developed are
likely to prove a large and lasting
staple which will aid more effective
~ in bringing wealth and prosperity
to the people than any other resource
mat the state Possesses. There Ia
no question or a single doubt that
there Is Gil here in more abundant
quantities than in any other section
on the United States, nor is there
a doubt as to its superior quality.
Both or these facts are conceded by
all and 1t has attracted greater at
tention from capitalists looking for
a profitable investment than is gen.
orally realized. The fame of Wyom-
ing Oil, principally In England and
the monied men of that country who
have wearied of letting out their
capital at Improbable rates of in
terest and have been investing heav-
uy IN American enterprises in hopes
or better returns and now are turn
ing their attention to the mineral
or this state. Within the
past week several English capital
lists started from the southern portion
on the state to learn from personal
observation the true conditions of
the OIL fields with u view to develop
them.
