—= Weiprewn re ol peer PAGE FOUR LINCOLN COUNTY OIL PLANS REST Development Work at Low Ebb but Everything in Readiness for Spring KEMMERER, Wyo., Jan. 6.—The cold and generally inclement weather of the three months, with the heavy snowfall has had a depressing effect on the Lincoln county oil fields, only to the extent of hampering outdoor op- erations. On every hand and in every way permitted by the weather work is going on, this applying especially to the work of laying plans and securing dquipment for intensive work when spring opens. The coal shortage has combined with the weather as'a handi- cap to the oil men and this still con- tinues to be a factor to be reckoned with, altho in 60 days it is thot there will be plenty of coal, The Wyoming-Dry Piney-La Barge Oil company is making every effort to haul materials and machinery to the field and with the improved roads will continue land supplies on their ground pre ratory to the drilling which will start as soon as the weather per- mits. The Big “Piney “oil and Development company which will drill on the Corder ranch, is doing the best possible to de- liver lumber and machinery to the und, and hi omplished much in spite of bad roads and weather, They have a complete standard rig and drill- ing outfit, and great things are expect- ed from their activities. Operations on all of the Lincoln-Ida- lho properties have been suspended un- ul February 1, this being made neces- y by a combination of lack of coal, of machinery to arrive, snow, bad roads and worse weather. As soon as possible this company will begin operations in all of their wells, starting at well No. 3, in the Dry Piney to field, which is already spudded in. Preparations had been made to continue work at the Waterfall well thru the winter, but a shutdown was made nec- some time ago by inability fuel.

It is reported from Carter that some long-delayed equipment has arrived and has been unloaded. This and other ma- terial yet to arrive will be hauled to the well and when all material has arrived there will be little or no ces tion of active work on the part of thi company. The Croesus Consolidated man in the field from time to tim nd their Salt Lake headquarters come the reports of preparations for a strenuous campaigi to: xt summer. Other o nnizations are laying plans and preparing for intensive work with the coming of more favorable weather. _ or FAGANG SELL INTERESTS IN TOWNSITE COMPANY; NEW WELL Is PROJECTED Wyo., Jan. 5.—J, M., J.

Jan 6.—The CHEYE Close | Union Pacific Railroad company has| awakened to the fact that oil claim- ants have filed locations on lands in; Sweetwater county included within the! railroad’s land grant and title to which in fee simple is claimed by the railroad) company. The corporation, therefore, | has filed notice to such locators that it considers them trespassers and pro- poses to proceed accordingly. “You; will, therefore, take notice that the claims filed by you upon the said lands | and minerals owned by the Union Pa-) cific Railroad company," says a formal notice served by the railroad, “‘are null | and void and in going upon said land without its (the Union Pacific’s con- sent for the purpose of extracting min-| erals therefrom, you do so as trespass- s and will be treated as such.” The oil land locators are expected to raise the point that tae Union Pacific's | title to the lan!+ uoes not include title | to the minerals therein. FIRE PROTECTION MADE BETTER BY GONNEGTION WITH STANDARD PLANT Better fire protection was sec the old city council in meeting a lay afternoon as a result of the ac! tion | nd recommendation of the water and sewer committee. A 12-inch pipe line is to connect the city water system with the 8-inch water lines of the Standard refinery west of the city so that in case ¢ a fire and a breakdown of the city system, the water from the Standard can be cut over for immediate use. The pipe for this line was ordered some time ago by the water and sewer ommittee in order that there should be no delay in the work. This connects the Standard pumping system with the 12-inch permanent pipe line circuit of the city. The water pressure at the “‘tandard plant is a little higher than that in Casper.
