=~ LINCOLN (DANO HITS THE BELL New Producer in Dry Piney Basin’ Spells Success for Efforts ~of Explorers Lincoln county hit the bell again. | The Lincoln Idaho well in the Dry} Piney basin found oil close to the thousand foot level, and it looks very much as tho the well was the nuc- leus of a large’ field. About a week ago this well found a heavy gas flow and the present strike is a high grav- ity crude that has a parafine base. The drill went thru the cap rock Sunday and 33 feet of sand was found before the oil came in. The well is now shut down waiting on orders from the company officials. The recent strike of the Creatac- eous Oil company and the new well in the Dry Piney makes southwest Wyoming look pretty good. The Fos-| sil field is a good little pool but the production is very light and it) does not pay to ship the high grade oil from Fossil for making fuel oils) and other poor grades. The refining of Fossil crude would produce a very high grade lubricant besides gasoline and also parafine for candles and other like uses. Such a refinery, however, requires the highest priced machinery of any like plant and this has kept the Fossil} field back somewhat. ‘ a HONOR AOLL OF THE RED GROSS Garment Workers Now Oceiey More Comfortable Quarters in I.
