NEW WELL SHOT FOR WIND RIVER Production Increased by Drilling in of Well No. 5; Two More Wells Drilling The number five well of the Wind Riverd Petroleum company was drilil- ed in the sand the last of the week and found the pay 2360 feet. The well jusé took 70 working days i complete*which is almost _a record for drilling in the Lander field. The well was shot with 260 quarts of glycerine and the load was hauled from Casper by Shooter Walters of this city who is in the employ of the Wyoming Torpedo company. When a well is shot, the charge tears a larger hole in the wall of the oil sand, thereby creating a larger surface for the oil te~flow into the hole. Great care must be taken with different sands as the charge for one well would ruin another, When a well is drilled into the pay, it »us- ually has only a six or. eight-inch hole and the oi] flows into this hole from the walls much like water from a Sponge. The Wind River has two wells now drilling,-Nos. 6 and 7 and the oil will be taken direct to the refinery at Lander. In the same field the well of the Oriental Oil company is down 2700 feet and a fishing job. The Cal- ifornia Wyoming well is down 1400 feet and in the red rock.

Every cent goes to manufacture and distribution of the enormous amount of film the com- mittee is compelled to distribute without return in foreign countries as part of the United States’ educa- tional campaign. All features and war reviews will be supplied free of charge to, ecantonments in the United States and to the picture shows on the firing line in France. turns are to defray the heavy expense of the free distribution demanded by the necessities of our inorale at home and even larger necessities of com- batting the German lie in other coun- tries of the world.” Secretary Baker says each corps headquarters and division headquar- ters of the American ‘Expeditionary Force is provided with a Signal Corps photographie unit, consisting of one officer and three enlisted men. These units, together with personnel neces- sary for development jaboratoties, supply service and to do special photographic work ordered by Gen- eral Pershing aggregated 17 officers’ PEERLESS PETROLEUM=CASPER’S BEST !
