Geological Survey Bulletin No. 471, 1910, Carroll Wegemann, " contains “The area under consideration.” (Powder River Dome), “In the #3 townships 40, 41, 42, north, range 81 west and portions in adjoining town- ee ships,” “The whole structure is a duplicate of the ant ne at Salt Creek.” ty Note.—At the time of this report there was no production from Salt Creek. At the present time a production estimated at 30,000 barrels per day is coming from Salt Creek. (b) Petroleum series, Bulletin No. 4, University of ‘Wyoming, April, 1901, by the late Wilbur C. Knight. “This field,” (Powder River Dome), “must oe considered one of the best in Wyoming. The structural features are ideal.” (c) Geological report, June 16, 1917, D. W. Hudson, California Geologist contained: “I consider the Great Powder River Dome a perfect structure, enjoying the advantages of shallow territory, inexpensive drilling, fine nat- ural physical conditions. I can see no reason why the dome should not de- velop into a very prolifix oil field.” (d) Geological report, July 16, 1916, by Dr. Howard Evans Elliott, “I consider the Tisdale Dene (local name for Powder River Pome) “the most erfect structure and worth of development, there is not a single record of ‘ailure in Wyoming where a perfect dome structure has been drilled with proper geological conditions existing as piey do upon this structure.” (e) Bulletin No. 12, State Geologist of Wyoming, L. W. Trumbull, con- tains “Up to the present time every structure drilled” (in Wyoming) “has proven to be a reservoir.” OFFICERS The President, Col. Sam Newhouse, Salt Lake City, Colonel Sam Newhouse is a figure of international prominence in finan- cial affairs pertaining to Western Empire building. Some of the large and profitable mining and developing ventures in the west have been conceived and carried to a successful conclusion by Colonel Newhouse and his asso- ciates The Consulting Field Manager, Sid Keoughan Mr. Keoughan has probably enjoyed more success in directing the drill- - ing of Wyoming oil walle than any other oil well contractor. He has broken records in drilling wells both for speed and low cost. THE COUNSEL We are informed the counsel for the company will include the following: Hon. Fred H. Hammond, Casper; Hon. A. J. Weber, Salt Lake City; Hon. W. H. King, U. S. Senate. PURPOSES OF THE COMPANY It is the aim of the company to develop the maximum of oil production from the extensive oil lands now owned or later acquired on the great Pow- der River dome, in the state of Wyoming, and extend operations from time to time as deemed progressive and advisable, and for these purposes th proceeds from the sale of the present treasury stock offered will be used. DRILLING OPERATIONS 5 We are informed the company is planning the immediate drilling of wells, sites for which are now being selected by the operating and geol eads. We anticipate The Casper-Embar Petroleum Company will shortly rank among the heaviest drillers in the field. We furthermore expect wells will - be drilled in record time and at minimum cost.
