This re- sulted in a ‘show’ of oil generally that was sufficient to see and filled the letter of the placer mining law, which states that a showing of oil must be found that would warrant further investment by the operator. In making validation on an oil placer claim, the claim locator and his as-~ stant must both swear that oil was discovered. zenerally a single joint of inch pipe was sufficient to locate two or three sections of land before the pipe became so battered as to be useless, but now the validators have even dis- pensed with the joint of small’ pipe and hammer method, for the Wyom- ing plains abound in prairie dog towns and badger holes.

' GREYBULL, Wyo., Aug. 6.—That three Wells of the McCausland Oil company near Hines, a sniall town near Greyball, are producers instead of “dry holes” as first reported is the substance of reliable informa- tion obtained here today. Five holes have been sunk and all of them cap- ped but it has developed that the grease was obtained in three, all of which would be dividend producers if set to work. They are shallow sand wells about 850 feet deep. Company officials and the drillers, however, refuse to talk. Another company is drilling in close proximity to the McCausland wells and is down 625 feet with its first hole. This concern was formed by a few Terry, Mont., men togeth- er with prominent Greybull parties. Officers of this company, the Unit Oil, are enthused over their pros- pects. pee TWO BILLION NEEDED FOR MEXICAN OIL WORK MEXICO CITY, (Correspondence of the Associated Press.)—The sum of $1,800,000,000 is needed to de velop thoroly the petroleum resources of Mexico says aB announcement of the department of commerce and in- dustry.
