Latest development to set the
fraternity talking is uncorking of
4 huge gas flow at past 5000 feet
in the Parker Bros. California Co.
Nieber No l, on Nieber dome at the
south end of the BASIN The gas
blew in out of control and burned
the rig, indicating structural con-
dition likely to be productive of oil
at greater depth.
This well is only about IL miles
northwest of the recent strike by
Pacific Western on Zimmerman
anticline, and is less than 20 miles
south of the River Dome area, near
Worland, where Pure Oil Company
is apparently about to open major
field out in the hitherto untested
area toward the center of the BASIN
Pure already has a commercial
distillate we'll in its initial deep
test, which is being carried ahead
past 1856 feet, and is setting pipe
in a second well, designed to test
horizons that showed oil and gas at
shallow depths in the first well, but
which were passed up.
Over on the west flank of the
basin, p a cific Western-Kirk in
terests are still trying for test of
light oil saturatiOn found in the
Cambrtan formation, below pre-
vious producing horizons in the
Oregon Basin field Test has been
delayed by bad fishing job. This
Is regarded by some as the most i'm
portant Wyom ng development
since the discovery of oil in the
Salt Greek field.

cal tieup of war freight in the

director of the Office of Defense
Transportation. called on all rail-
road officials and workers in the

dangered the military effort"

Loss of skilled workers is
hamperlng the screw machine
products industry seriously. The
requirements for the products
have gone up approximately so
per cent over a year ago Janu-
ary as result Of the increases
IN major ammunition programs,
according to the War Produc-
tion Board, but the industry is
only producing at 60 per cent of

Artillery fuses and boosters
and mortar fuses are the most
urgently needed items for which
screw machine products must
be provided. To bring produc-
tion up to full capacity of exist

New Tire Solution

Initiation of farm tractor tires
with a calcium chloride solution
has proved so successful that z.
r. Drummer, manager of farm
tire development for Goodyear,
advocates the liquid solution for
all farm implement tires. 1t has
several advantages over air.
First. initiation remains con-
stant without pressure loss, in
storage or in use. Second. pres
sure builds up as the load in
creases, adjusting automatically
and giving longer tire life.
