Increased activities during recent
years, when military demands for
petroleum have fostered widespread
exploratory operations, and the I'M
precedented prospecting activities
by numerous oil companies new to
Wyoming, have created an urgent
need for a complete reference rec
ord and brief history of all wells
drilled for oil and gas in the state.
The Geological Survey, cooperat-
lively with II oil companies, who
contributed the additional assistance
necessary to compile drilling rec
ords in the files of the Oil and Gas
Leasing division at Casper, Wyo.,
has published a tabular listing of all
wells drilled for oil and gas in Wy
oming The compilation, showing
the locations, counties, fields, well
numbers, operators names, eleva-
ions, surface and bottom-hole geolo-
gic formations, names and depths of
producing formations, total depths,
and present status of nearly 5000
wells, comprises some 2S6 pages of
historical data, complete with we'll
record legend, list of authorizations,
and reference map. This is one of a
series of informal publications made
possible by increased appropriations
in aid of the oil-search program.
Copies of the list are available for
public inspection in the open files
of the Geological Sun vey at the Fed
eral Bldg, Casper, Wyo., at Room
4l6, Denham Bldg, Denver, Colo,
and at the Federal Bldg, Billings,
Mont A limited number of the
we'll lists will be available for free
distribution to land owners, lessees,
oil companies, and others whose ac-
tivities are known to be in aid of ex-
ploration and exploitation of the oil
and gas resources of Wyoming.
Qualified individuals and companies
should send requests for copies to
the Oil and Gas Supervisor, P. o.
Box 400, Casper, Wyo.
Drilling operations in Wyoming
during the week were reported as

thousands of American soldiers
who still maintain stern attitude
against fraternizing in any form.
Extensive inquiry shows that those
who ARE most firm against it are
those who met Germans in closest
combat, and therefore have more
personal reasons for hating them.
In fairly extensive travelling
through Germany since the ban
was modified have seen very few
cases of fragrant activity involving
American men and German Wom-
en-. Few Americans show more
than a passing friendly interest in
frauleins, and whatever shady re-
lations take place are kept much
in the background.
There is not nearly so much OF
that as homefolks seem to think
in spite of some hearty encour-
agement from blonde, well deve-
loped frauleins who delight in say
ing with acute mockery, "be wise
-fraternize"
Proving that anything can hap
pen, one WAC wrote Stars a n d
Stripes asking if it were OK. for
WACs to fraternize with German
men.
