Today its spirit is revised. Don’t fail to é demanded and obtained the dismissal pe it. of the instructor who suggested and = led the song. He explained that he had no intention of offending, but this in expectation of higher prices. Wool | buyers during recent weeks have ,closed purchase of a large share of | the wool clips of Wyoming at prices | | e Oil Output Blocked. The latest phase of the oil situa- tion that is causing much comment in the trade is the action of the goverr-| ment in withdrawing from entry oil} lands on which development work has been done at private expense. in California the result has been that work has stopped on more than 3,-} £00,000 acres, while the State is con-| suming oil at the rate of 300,000 bar- rels a day, compared with 265,000 barrels produced. Consequently it is taking 35,000 barrels a day out of storage. Oil stocks in California de- creased from 57,000,000 barrels on January 1, 1916, to 40,000,000 bar-| rels on May 1, 1917. At the present! rate of depletion the surplus stocks of 25,000,000 barrels of fuel oil will| be exhausted jn g relatively short time.—Industria! and Mining Age. ¥ Becurity Wiil Drill.’ The Security Oil & Gas Company ig installing a rig on the west het of section 6-33-75 in the Big Muddy field. The location is less than two “miles east of the Merritt big well on section 2 in the next township. it is on the same section which the State University trustees recently proposed te cancel leases. 4 } New Field Is Located. * About ten thousand acres of oil lo- tions have been filed upon in a new district some fifteen or twenty miles south of Shoshoni. It is stated that oil indications are exceedingly favor- able and validating rigs are now drill- ing discovery holes over the entire feld. About twenty different loca tors are interested in the locality. Oil Rigs For Water Wells. B. A. Dick, a Cody oil well driller, has placed his services at the disposal ef the Government in drilling water wells in the Somme district in France, where he is well acquainted, having put some holes down there a few years ago for oil. The retreating Germans poison all SHORT OIL ITEMS GLEANED FROM | CENTRAL WYOMING'S ACTIVE FIELDS _ | 1 principal operators are the Merritt Corporation, Glenrock Oil & Gas and the Glenhurst Company. holes are deep enough to form an opinion as to the outlook. Activity At Lander. The Tyndad-Wyoming Oil and Gas Company has started drilling on its well in 8-33-98 in the Lander field. ‘lhe company also has lands in 26-33- 28, on which it will drill later. Boston-Wyoming Rig Located. | Agreeable to previous announce-! ments, a drilling rig has been movel ento the property of the Boston-Wy- oming Company on section 2 in the Salt Creek field and work will be vig- orously pushed. This Jocation is said uous to wells of the Midwest Qi} Com-| pany, which have been flowing for| five years, i Oil Extraction Promised. | The first practical effort to utilize | the oil-bearing shales of Colorado will | be undertaken by the American Shale | Refining Company, recently organized | under the laws of Arizona, by Denver men who are associated with the Mid. | west Oil Company, which will have) its refineries located near Denver. | The company has applied for patent | rights on a new process for extracting oil from shales and refining the oil} so procured. Thru an automatic sep-| aration process all the various pro- ducts of the shales will be produced at a cost far below that under an; process now in use. A site for a} plant, the first unit of which will by of 100 tons capacity, is being con- sidered and plans are being prepared | for the construction of the ment. } Shales will be shipped from the} beds of the Colorado Shale Products | Company, which is owned by the same | interests as the refining company. These shale beds are located about equip- the water wells, and it is necessary % bring water from the rear in tanks or drill new wells. It is proposed to utilize portable drilling rigs of the type used for shallow wells. It is claimed that one outfit can drill five or six holes fifty or sixty feet deep every day. Oriental Receives Offer. The Oriental Oil] Company, which was recently organized by Denver} business men to operate in the Lan-| der field of Wyoming has been offered | a favorable drilling contract by one] of the largest oil syndicates operating | in that district. No accision ha be 1 reached by the directors of the com-| pany.
