TIL OIL AND.
GAS INDUSTRY
BY o. w. Greenburg

robab the t1rSt discovery Oh pc
troleum in Wyoming was by the In
dams who gathered the fluid from oil
seeps and used it for medicinal pur-
poses. Captain B. L. e. Bonneville is
credited with having been the first
white man to have noted the presence
of petroleum in what is now Wyo-
ming as far back as 1898. Emigrants
along the old Oregon trail, 1t is said,
found a petroleum spring In what is
now Uinta county al early as 1S49,
collected the oil and used 1t for med
icinal urposes and to grease their
Wagon wheels.
James Brldger, Kit Carson. noted
trappers and plainsmen. Knew of the
presence of petroleum seeps in the
forties and fifties and in 1851 the
late ICY" Iba, members of whose fam
lily now live at Caspar. discovered pc
troleum at what is known as Poison
Spider, near Casper. Iba, Bridger and
Carson are said to have collected the
oil from the spring at Poison Spider,
mixed 1t with flour and sold the pro-
duct to emigrants for axle grease as
early as the fifties. That was prob
ably the first commercial marketing
OF Mornings petroleum.
The first producing we'll to be
drilled in the state of Wyoming was
in what is now Fremont county, near
Lander in 1888. At about the same
time ranchers in the Big Horn basin
used oil from a spring for illuminat-
ing purposes. The Shannon field
north OF what is known as the Salt
Creek field came in during 1889 and
1890 and ave to the state the first
large activity in petroleum produc-
ton. This oil was hauled to Casper
by string teams and In 1895 the first
refinery in Wyoming was built at Cas-
per.
From that period forward develop
ment in the Salt Creek structure was
more pronounced, the first flowing
wells having been tapped by a Dutch
company. Subsequently the Midwest
Oil Company was organized by Colo
RADIO interests and Wyoming suddenly
found itself in the midst Of rapid de-
velopment as an oil state. Other
fields and structures were tested and
some production disclosed. but the
Salt Creek field developed to be the
greatest light oil field IN the world.
The Midwest Refining Company
succeeded to ownership OF large hold.
ings held by the Colorado interests
and built a refinery at Casper. Other
large petroleum companies entered
the field and every scientific method
known in the industry was exerted to
bring the PETROLEUM production to the
highest STATE q efficiency. In 1924
the crude oil production IN Wyoming
Appropriated 1000 barrels which is
in decided contrast to the $4,000. 900
barrels produced in the state in 1925.
Since much OF the oil produced is
from wells on government and state
lands, the United States has received
In royalties up to the present time
approximately $4,000. 900. The state
OF Wyoming has also received from oil |
produced on state leases approximate
ly $4,000 600. the interest OF which is
devoted to educational institutions.
and 1t is estimated that the oil indus.
try in Wyoming Is paying approx.
mately onequarter Of all the taxes
paid In the state of Wyoming.

DUNN ADVISES GOLFERS
HOW TO IMPROVE GAME
Veteran Mentor Say Good Golf Rest
on Few Important Fundamentals
and That Faults Can be Cured
BY Intelligent Drill

After 25 years of teaching others
how to play, John Dunn concludes
that good golf rests on a few i'm
portant fundamentals. Nearly all
dubs share certain specific faults
that can be corrected by intelligent
practice.
The fault known as wasting" is
of quite common occurrence. This
usually comes from allowing the
head to drop toward the left should
er during a troke. Naturally the
focus of your eyes upon the ball is
entirely different from their focus
when you addressed the ball. Dunn
declares that one of the basic things
of golf hat players do not hear
enough about is the Importance of
keeping the head still. It's quite
as important as the familiar " keep
your eye OF the ball. \ head
that Is inclined toward tie shoulde.
during the swing will throw the
whole body off balance. The head
must be held rigidly conferred at all
times from address till the instant
of impact.
Fault Easily Cured
To hit the ball with the heel of
the club is one of the most natural
of faults, observes Dunn. because
of the centrifugal force generated in
your down swing, But 1t is a fault
that can be readily cured. He ad-
vises going to the other extreme
and addressing the ball with the toe
of the club. Furthermore, make up
your mind that you will hit the
ball with the toe. As a result of
this thinking process you will pro-
badly find at the moment of impact
that your mind has compromised
on the subject and you have hit the
ball in the exact center.
'In case this method fails place
two balls on the ground about four
inches apart and make up your
mind hat you will drive the near
ball without disturbing the other.
After n few attempts the far ball
won't bother you. This Will cure
you of heeling."
How to Stop Topping"
AS ms cure for the universal
failing of topping, Dunn suggests
crumpling up a small piece of paper
and lay this on the ground. an inch
or so behind the ball. Drive the
paper and you Will hit the ball.
A suggestion of somewhat the same
nature is offered TO the man who
