dictate a closure (the we'll is still
yielding a strong flow OFF gas) 1t has
no bearing, as it would now seem
that the well was off structure.
Shortly after encountering gas the
rig was completely destroyed by fire
and the well abandoned.
The Carbon Wyoming company
owns 1850 acres in the Little Sage
Creek structure and it is believed that
their chances of getting oil in this
section are especially good. 1t is es-
timated that the Dakota sands can
be reached on a portion of the COM
pany's holdings at from 1900 to L.
400 feet. This shallow depth will
permit the use of a drilling machine
and a comparative inexpensive test
of the Dakota and Sundance forma-
lions can be made.
Only a sufficient stock will be dis
posed OF to drill the test we'll, which
1t is estimated can be completed for
about $4,000, a substantial portion
Is already subscribed. The officers
of the company will receive no salar-
les and all the money will be expend-
ed in actual drilling.
The officers of the company are:
G. w. Marks. president; G. A. Willis,
vice president; NJ. F. Sholes, secre-
tary-treasurer; and c. NJ. Bowen,
manager. The directors are: G. w.
Marks, Ray c. Ball, Gail A. Willis,
F. W. Lake and NJ. F. Sholes.
The following extract is taken from
the report of Howard Mum in con
nection with this structure:
The Hatfield Structure to the north
on the same line of folding has de-
veloped into a commercial producer
of natural gas in large quantities. The
Good well in the NWA of Sec. "a
1888 shows sufficient head of gas
in what appears to be the second
Wall creek to convince one of the
closure of the structure. The flow
of water from the first Wall Creek
shows that the sandstone reservoirs
contain artesian water under suffic-
lent hydro-static pressure to retain
the gas and oil that may be local
lied and trapped under the structural
highs.
Drilling depths are near or d
1000 feet to the Dakota horizon over
much OF the fold and further, in ref
erence to the major uplift in this
particular region. The Hatfield struc-
ture can be classed as a mountain
ward fold and the Little Sage Creek

The City Council held its regular
monthly meeting at the City Hall
last evening. Other than the usual
business of allowing the monthly
bills and routine work several per-
sons appeared before the Council on
business matters.
A. j. Roster, representing A. r.
Lichstein, appeared before the Coun-
ell regards the transferring OF the
pool hall license from the Ferris
hotel location to the new location on
Fourth street. In that Mr.. Lichstein
paid his license for the year on the
old location and in that the ordinance
states in effect that the license c6n-
not be transferred, the Council took
the stand that the license was not
being transferred TO another person
but merely to another location. thus
It was not necessary to secure a new
license.
G. w. Marks, representing the Car
bon Wyoming OIL company, asked
permission to tap in on the main
water line in the Browns Hill sec
ton. the water to be used for drilling
purposes OF the we'll which is being
drilled in the Sage Creek section.

leading TO the COmpany's holdings,
w. p. Hays and j. L. Osborne ask
ed that the streets and sidewalks
near their places Of residences be
graded so that the water would drain
off and sidewalks might be laid. The
Council stated that considerable work
needed to be done In that section
thus It was decided to advertise for
bids in the very near future for the
grading OF Seventh street between
the /. T Murphy and the John Nc
Garry houses and a culyert will be
placed across the street near the Os-
borne home so that the water VIII
be carried on down the street,
Ned Cross appeared before the
Council regards the securing OF water
on Davis street near his home. He
stated that a number of the property
owners In the near section wanted the
water and as Il was the growth
Of that section was being retarded
because OF the lack OF the water. The
Council decided 10 80 over the
grounds before Il took any action. In

dents. Counsel for both sides were
given Az days in which to file briefs
and the evidence obtained will be
reviewed by the Wyoming Public
Service Commission and then tor
warded, with recommendations, TO
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The counsel for the applicants pre-
scented little evidence at the hearing,
merely standing on the report of the
Union Pacific railroad. This report
showed a loss of 100000 in three
years operation of the road.
Attorney Armstrong presented very
complete evidence showing the re-
sources of the Platte Valley, the ne
cessity for the railroad. and he also
presented evidence showing that the
road Is being now operated at a
profit.
Among those who were witnesses
at this hearing and who gave testi-
mony against the applicants were:
r. II. Meyer of Denver, c. d. William

Medicine Bow Forest. was called to
the stand to testify on the timber
possibilities of the forest. and to show
how additional revenue might be OBJ
tanned for the railroad with an as
surance given that the road will be
a permanent utility. Williamson
stated that he has, az numerous times
recommended TO his company that
the ties and mine props that are now
driven down the Platte river to Fort
Steele, on the Union Pacific, might
be driven to Saratoga with less loss.
and loaded on freight cars at that
point for distribution. He further
testified that from 800. 900 to 5OO.-
600 ties and mine props are market
ed by his company annually. and IL
arrangements can be made whereby
the timber can be shipped from Sara
togu. instead OF Fort Steele, saw
mills, box factories and pulp mills
or one OF each, can be erected at
Saratoga to utilize timber that Is
now considered waste, and which will
I'm turn afford additional revenue for

Other witnesses brought out diff

showed wherein the road was a ne

The general opinion throughout
