ee RA £ t ue 1} 2 f ei y t S HIMILTON OIL FIELD 15 GOOD Test Weli Makes Showing for 100/Long Drive to Upton Trarmton Bessemer Barrels, Says Thermopolis Record The Hamilton dome in Warm Springs County is turning into a fine oil field, according to the Thermop- olis papers. The Record, of that en- terprising little city states that the hole being drilled on that structure | is only about 12 feet in the sand, and} the showing would indicate at least a 100-barrel well. The baler, with a capacity of a} barrel and a quarter was worked con- stantly for a day and failed to lower the oil below the 120-foot mark. And it must be remembered that the oil sands had been penetrated only a short distance, What the production of the well would be at the present time cannot be estimated, but would be very great. When it is drilled on deeper and shot, it will be a still better producer. In character, lightr grade of the black oils. lighter than the Warm Springs oil, but considerably darker and heavier than that from Grass Creek. Conservative estimates place about five sections of ground within the well defined escarpment of the Hamilton dome, while some think that exploi- tation will prove the producing area to be greater. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that a new field has been opened up, and that it is as- suredly a big ore. A week ago it was a wildcat proposition; today it is a proven field of high character. Fuel for motive power has been an expensive and annoying feature of the drilling in this initial well 541} has been.responsible for much cf the delay the operators have expe- rienced. ground the fuel question has been solved and other wells will be easier to handle.
