OF OL FIELDS oe Deep Tests Projected for Fossil Field; Tisdale Operations May Be Revived During Com- ing Year Operations in the Fossil field, Lin- coln county, Wyo., will no longer be confined’ to shallow drilling, the Wyo- ming-Pacific Oil company of Seattle having announced plans for sinking deep test wells on sections 13 and 14. Material is being moved to the field preparatory to drilling. The Arizona-Wyoming company has eompleted the erection of its first der- rick in the same field, and is prepared to make a thoro test of the lower sands. Old Prospects Exhumed Oil interests are going over the old Tisdale field, west of Salt Creek, again with a view to making another test of the structure. Prospects of a producing field were given mp in 1917 when the Shiloh company drilled in a great wa ter gusher, Gasser at Alkali Butte Riverton, Wyo., reports state that the Inland Oil company opened a large gas- ser in its test well of the Alkali Butte dome. The new well is said to be with- in 15 miles of Riverton but details re- garding the strike are meager .

The company expects to spud in this week: The Hutton Lake Drilling Drilling has been resumed at the Hut- ton Lake well in the Rock Creek field. Setting of the four and three-fourths- inch casing at 3,365 fect has occupied two weeks’ time. Comparison of the log of the Hutton Lake well with the logs of the nearest Ohio company wells shows that the maximum depth at which the sand will be reached by the Hut- ton Lake well is 3,850 feet. Osage Field Humming With 30 wells already producing and 50 rigs on the ground, the Osage field near Newcastle, Wyo., is teeming with activity. A survey has been made and work of laying the pipe lines to con- nect with the McWhorter refinery will be begun at once. It is the plan to lay four-inch pipe to Hugo-Williams well No. 1, section 31-46-63, and there erect a pumping station.

Carey of Wyoming when it developed that a few state dele- gations to the Western States Recla- mation association had attempted to in- ject their influence into the oil land [leasing controversy for petty and sel- fish purposes. In explaining his views on, the ques- tion: before a meeting of the delegates, Governor Carey pointed out that Wyo- ming is justly entitled to a full and equitable share in the royalties from her oil, just as Oregon and Washing- ton are entitled to their quota of the proceeds from timber orf public_ lands. The present oil land leasing bill ypro- vides thatthe royalties not allotted to the several states from which the oil is |taken shall be applied to a general fund |for reclamation purposes. Obviously, states having no oil ov other mineral resources are anxious to have the great- er percentage of the royalty funds as- signed to the reclamation exchequer. Governor Carey was strongly backed State Engineer Frank C. Emerson and State Immigration Commis- sioner Charles S. Hill, the © oth- er membe?s of the Wyoming delegation attending the meeting. The stand which they took was successful in.that the as- sociation agreed upon a “hands-off” pol- icy. After a session of nearly a week's duration most of the members, includ- ing Wyoming's representation, have left Washington, As a result of;the Wash- ington conference it is expected that‘a bill will be introduce@ in congress in the near future calling for a two hun- dred and fifty million dollar bond issue extending over a period of ten years for reclamation purposes. The secre- tary of the treasury Is to be authorized to issue these bonds from time to time for any ‘advances he may make to the reclamation fund.

Jan. 27.—“Wyoming is quite willing to 2 | cooperate with the other western states in any practical program for the development and reclamation of our arid.lands, but-we strenuously resent the disposition on the pait of certain western states to interfere with the oil land leasing bill now pending before a conference commit- The association was fully ‘advised of the futility of a direct appropriation by numerous leaders of congress. The bond issue was decided upon as. a com- promise solution of the problem. It is conceded, however, that even a bond is- sue at this particular time ay not be able to overcome the economy and conservation attack which will surely be waged against the measure in both branches of congress, It is rumored that Representative Kinkaid, of Nebras- ka, a reclamation veteran, and Senator McNary, of Oregon, will introduce the bills. State Engineer Emerson expressed be- Hef himself as being pleased with the outcome of the meeting. In his opin- ion the groundwork has been laid for a definite progressive policy of reclama- tion. While heré Mr. Emerson took up several matters with Hon. Clay Tall- man, commissioner of the general land office, with respect to the Carey act projects in Wyoming which have been held up for various reasons. He be- lieves that many of these problems which have been blocking development in the state will be settled soon, and new impetus given to the work. In addition to Govesior Carey, there were five other western governors and two lieutenant governors present at the conference. The Wyaqming delegation was an influential factor in the bus- iness of the meeting, and made a very creditable record in defending and pro- moting the interests’ of ‘its state, Sige Neely The Catholic women of Chicago pro- pose to erect:the Rosary colldge, in one of the suburbs, at a cost of $500,000. a San Diego, Calif., property for sale.
