Sn, presages . race between this con-
cern and the Ohio OIL company to

local men and assigned to Define.
The contract for drilling calls for q
test hole $500 feet deep unless oil
II struck In commercial quantities
before that depth Ia reached.
Define predicts. however. that the
productive sand. believed to be an
alagous to the Big Muddy sand Of
Wyoming fields. will be encountered
at a depth from $500 to $500 feet.
This prediction Ia based on a report
by Charles T. Lupton of Denver. who
has don the geological work for the
company here.
Roth the Sand Hills and the Ohio
wells are in the same section and
are within a half mile OF each other.
II Is practically assured because Of
their proximity that II one
oil both will be producers and a
rush Of oil men here will be started
similar to that which followed the
strike at Wellington.
Like the Ohio. the Sand Hills will
START a 20-inch hole. insuring that
the desired depth will be reached.

under way on the local field full an
nouncement of h company's person

JIMMIE MORGAN
TALKS TO RAW
Inns ROTARIANS

Jimmie Morgan. secretary-treas-
urer OF the United Mine Workers of
America. District OF Wyoming. was
the speaker at the regular Tuesday
meeting OF the Rawlins Rotary club.
For ever twenty years Jimmie
Morgan has been the secretary-treas-
urer OF the United Mine Workers
Union. District of Wyoming. and he
has not only seen but has been the
principal factor in the building up
OF this union in Wyoming from a
few hundred members to several
thousand. He has been an ideal
union leader; n man loved and re-
spected by yer member OF his
union and a man b has always
enjoyed the utmost confidence OF all
interests in the state.
Chairman w. w. Daley In intro
ducing Mr.. Morgan to the Rotarians
Expressed the chief characteristics
OF Jimmie Morgan when he referred
to the name Jimmie Morgan" 1rd
the words fairness and confidence"
as being synonymous in Wyoming.
Mr.. Morgan spoke to the Rotar-
ians for over 30 minutes, taking as
his subject Coal Mining from the
Miners Standpoint"
This address OF Mr.. Morgan's was
mighty interesting and instructive
to everyone present and at the close
OF the meeting many of those eS-
pressed to the speaker the belief
that II the businessmen of the coun-
try had an opportunity to listen tc
many such addresses there would
not be such a misunderstanding OF
the aims and desires OF the miners.
Mr.. Morgan in his address vent
back to the formation OF the Miners
| Union in Sheridan county 81 years
ago II told Of conditions at hat
time. He showed the gradual i'm
| proyement in the industry me in the
conditions of the miners during the
past IL years and brought forcibly
to the attention of the listeners that
the price of GOA is not regulated
either by the operators or by the
wages paid to the miners. The big
gest factor in the price Of coal Is
the big overhead caused because OF
too many mines operating and an
Over-supply of coal.
The matter brought before the
Rotarians by Jimmie Morgan was
absolutely new TO most of the mem.
bers and at the close OF the address
a great many OF those present eN-
pressed themselves as being with the
Miners Union in their efforts 10
stabilize the industry and especially
in their efforts to make Ct every
member OF the Union a good Ameri-
ear citizen.
