Oil, unlike gold, sis not where
one may find it,. The "black
gold" as crude oil is known in
the major oil fields of the Rocky
Mountain area, of which the
geographical confines of Big
Horn county are a part, is NEST
generally found, only beneath
such areas, as previous geologic
research reveals as having once
been beneath the waters of the
sea, in which existed the marine
animal and vegetable matter,
from which crude oil is believed
to have evolved
And the area around Hardin,
Lodge Grass, Wyola, Grow Ag-
ency and other points, is such
an area as work here of the geo.
logical and archaeological cat
egorieS proves.
The Good Luck Basn Oil and
Gas Development of Hardin, has
selected a piece of acreage locat-
EIDE in township 6-south, range
35-east of Big Horn County,
three miles west of Lodge Grass,
and it is understood in petrol
cum circles, that a we'll will be
drilled by this company for the
purpose of recovering CONNER
cial amounts of oil, believed to
lie beneath this area of Big Horn
county. This company, according
to reliable field scout reports,
now has a gas well less than 375
feet in depth in the Lodge Grass
area which is producing as esti
mated $4,000 cubic feet of nat
ural gas per day. The registered
guage gas pressure from this
we'll is reported as being $50
pounds.
The location for the proposed
well is about 100 feet from the
reported producing gas we'll, and
it is presumed that the gas well
will supply the fuel necessary
for drilling operations, after the
well has been Spudded in.
MANY WELLS HAVE BEEN
DRILLED IN BIG HORN
The records of the Bureau of
Mines, State of Montana at
Butte, reveal the following past
drilling operations in various ar
cas- of Big Horn county from the
year of 1915 to the present year
of 1913:

Previously a spokesman for Gen

Germans Appear Ready
For Naples Evacuation

''Fires have been burning along
the docks for several days, appar-
emily the result of demoitions.
Charges have been seen to explode
among the DOCKS"
The somber pictures also show
ed that the industrial area north
OF the docks had been wrecked.
Railroad yards were demolished.
"The extent to which this is
going on indicates the enemy is
determined to make the big port
one of the largest and best of
peacetime harbors - completely
useless to Allied troops when they
occupy it," the Allied air forces
stated.
The port Of Naples is the prin-
clpal prize. Its possession will
greatly facilitate Allied logistics.
A great harbor close to the for
ward battlelines would simplify the
problems of supply and reinforce
Inent, allowing the largest trans
ports and cargo carriers to unload
at docks rather than have to ferry
their loads to beaches in lighters
and landing craft. Experience in
North Africa showed that the most
thorough demolitions failed to per-
manently knock out harbors. The
thoroughness of the wrecking at
Naples, however, quite likely will
delay bringing the harbor into ef-
fective use.
Gen. Eisenhower's communiuue
said Both the Fifth and Eighth
Armies continued to advance" and
added:
1.-THE enemy continues to cling
hard to his positions in the west
ern sector while tending to with.
draw his left flank
No heavy fighting was reported

strength for the next critical bat
tie, expected shortly.

The October 2 closing date for

Most Of the Allied land gains in
Italy were north of laramie and
above the instep of the Italian boot
as the reinforced British Eighth
Army and British Fifth Corp $
pushed forward on the heels of
Germans retreating northward to-
ward the cluster of major air fields
around Foggia.
Ginosa is Is miles northwest Of
laramie and IA miles inland from
Its gulf. Avigliano is so miles east
OF Salerno and eight miles north
west of Potenza. Acerno is II
miles east and slightly north of
Salerno.
Thus the continuous Allied line
from Salerno on the Mediterranean
to above Bari on the Adriatic had
been pushed forward eight miles
northwest of Pontenza, IA miles
north of Sala Consilina and 10
miles west of Mottala, which is
north of laramie.
Small gains were made north of
Salerno in the last mountain bar
rler to the plains of Naples. There
the Germans resisted stubbornly
while they destroyed everything of
value in the once-beautiful city of
925, 900. A smoke blanket hun e

entire German "roof'' this win

mania are only 435 air miles from
the advancing Russians.
Moscow dispatches said the bat
tie for Dnepropetrovsk had begun
with the Red army attacking less
than Is miles from that city, which
was the site of Russia's big by
droelectric works. Zaporozhe, to
the south, also was imperilled by
Soviet units attacking eight miles
away.
One German broadcast record

indicated that the Russians had
pushed along the Sea of Azov
coast IS miles west of Nogaisk,

Melitopol-Crimean railway. It said
German naval units had "bomb-

PLEASURE DRIVING
RESTRICTIONS OFF
CONTINUED from FIRST Pssel

I Reliable Washington sources re-
ported. however. that OPA plans a
vigorous drive to reduce the num-
, ber of B" and &c" coupons issued.
1t was said officials plan to visit
local boards to urge them to cut
the supplemental rations to the
bare minimum.
The eastern pleasure driving ban
first was adopted last January Z
and remained in effect until March
3 when it was replaced by an hon
or system. The ban went back on
May 20. however, when gasoline
rations were reduced in the East
and has been in effect since.
The restrictions applied to the
u northeastern states, eight coun-
ties in West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Following is the text of the state
ment:
Gasoline rationing is a war ne
cessity.
Because of a shortage of trans
portation it was necessary to insti-
tute a system of ratiOning which
would curtail civilian use and as
sure our fighting forces with sufi-
cient gasoline and successfully
prosecute the war. AS we improv
ed onr transportation facilities our
military needs increased and our
supply decreased. We cannot cur
tail our shipment of gasoline to the
fighting fronts in order to joy-ride
at home.
Enforcement Difficult
ITO further curtail consumption
of gasoline on the eastern seaboard
in order to meet an acute transpor-
tation problem, ban on non-es-
sential or pleasure driving was re-
sorted to- This saved gasoline but
involved stopping cars on the high
ways apparently being used for
pleasure purposes. This action
caused much protest and enforce
ment has been difficult.
1T has therefore been determin-
ed to rely on patriotism of the car
owners and to discontinue stopping
cars on the highway to determine
the purpose for which they are be-
ing used. The holders of ration cou-
pons will be expected to use no
more gasoline than is absolutely
necessary to meet their essential
needs. 1t will be left, however, to
the car owner to determine in his
own mind and conscience what is
essential driving"
