CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS


pany Of Colorado spudded in its No. l
well near the Wellington dome few
days ago. On account of the almost
impassable condition of the roads
there was only small crowd on hand

casion. Among those present for the
event was Slewers Fincher, president
of the company, and former state SEN
ator from Breckenridge. This is the
first development by an Independent
company in this field. A standard rig
is being used and 1t is expected the
well will be drilled to a depth of 1000
to 1000 feet or more. The new well
Is four miles northwest of Wellington,
thirteen miles north Of Fort Collins,
two miles southeast of the gas well
of the Union Oil Company of CnlifOr-

3 wells now being drilled. The con-
tract for drilling the new well is held
by II. C. Farley. Tom Jones is the
head driller.
