The rig is located on -89 which is about six miles southeast of the town of Richards on the Chicago North Western railroad. From Casper the field is situated about 70 miles north- west and is most of the Way. The process of spudding into the 20-inch hole has been going on for about two wee the work ending August 10.

But Mr. Scott said about a week ago that he expected the first oi] to be reached at a depth of 1,600 feet or sooner. |; | spudding in process was rushed thru with rope instead of steel cable in use because Mr. Scott advised this} from his experience in drilling in other fields. The Gerard company only recently leased 640 acres of additional land close to the present location where drilling in operation. This land south was leased from the Camel-Butte Oil company. The understanding here is that the Gerard & Summers comp y intends to start drilling operations on the land on from the present rig and camp. It is also located in the same area surrounded by the structure of this field. The two closest wells which appear to be progressing with the work in this region are those of the Rydéout) company about six miles due north) of the Gerard & Summers location and the Ohio rig, which is said to be in the horseshoe structure of the re gion four mil southwest of this location. It is also understood that the Gerard & Summers company pro poses to drill on “15 The Gerard-Summers rig and out fit looks to be one of the best in this young field which Mr, Scott, su- perintendent of operations, says is the largest area with structure surround- is on ¢ drilling | ing it-known to him in Wyoming.

Mr. Scott has at least one of his old men with him and reports that he has a crew of unusually efficient drillers and tool dressers. Mr. Scott’ has equipped the outfit in this field with all the necessary modern tools to meet any ordinary emergency and preparations to care for any other than ordinary emer- gencies.

The Standard oil people have not been keeping pace with independents n extending operations; but the is- suance of $100,000,000 7 percent preferred stock by the Standard Oil of New Jersey indicates that an ag- gressive policy is to be inaugurated. This Rockefeller enterprise has rami- fications extending the world, distributing direct to thou- sands of customers in gifferent lands. Its recently-elected president, W. C. Teagle, is a giant physically and men- tally, a hustler and a man of vision. His record will be worth following. This is the first time any Standarc Oil company has sold stock to the pub- lic, but it is unlikely to be the last. Independents have been making such inroads upon the oil industry that in order to hold their own, the S. O. peo- ple will feel compelled. to branch out.
