The result is that probably not less than 100 wells will be started within the next thirty days and forced to completion in the early spring and if the first test is any criterion of what may be expected, the new field will by that time have become one of the biggest producing areas west ef the celebrated Eldorado field of Kansas. Three or four wells now drilling, two of them now close to the pay sand, will be finished by January 1 next, but unless the winter should be un- usually mild, the field will net enter) its heavy productive life until April or May at the earliest.

An- other is the Allen Oil company, the producing end of the Wyoming East- ern syndicate, which includes in its membership H, F, Alexander of Ta+ coma, president ofthe Pacific Steam, ship company; D. C, Jackling, manag- ing director of the Uteh Copper com- pany; James D, Hodge, president: of the Union Savings & Trust company of Seattle; T, Coleman Dupont of New York, who recently bought the Equitable building and a wring: of great New York hotels, and Frank 1, Hitchcock, former -postmaster gen- eral. . Besides these there are in the field The Texas company, the greatest in- dependent ojl producer in the United States: the General Petroleum com- pany, a big factor in the oil industry in California; the Carter Oil Com- pany, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil company; of New Jersey; the Union Oil company, the largest inde- pendent producer in the California field; the Cactus Petroleum company, producing subsidiary of the Francor Wyoming Oil company, which has targe interests in Salt Creek field; the Glenroek Oil company, which is active in the Big Muddy, Elk Basin,| and Grass Creek fields, and West. to Be Finally Determined Drilling of Merritt Interests Within another fortnight, the pos- sibilities of the second Wall creek sand in the Big Muddy field will have tested out, in the extreme eastern section of the field, and a new test Started in the most prolific first sand | in the center of the proven district, | The well'which is now close to the | second‘sand is located on the Fenix! lease on Section 2, on ground held by | the Merritt Oil corporation.
