EXTENSION OF QoAGE POSSIBLE Upton-Thorton Region to Be Test-| ed Out Again by Larger Companies A number of are now active in the district north- west of Newcastle and towards Thorn- ton and Upton. The Producers & Re- finers corporation has completed a bridge across Beaver creek at the Mc- Cullough ranch and is moving in ren] terial to a location on section 25-46-64 This will make the second location on that section and it lies east of sec- tion 19, on which the discovery well was brot in, by three miles. The Mid- west has taken over sections 34 and| 85 of 46-63, and the Ohio Oil company and the oming are both taking up Jands towards Thornton, northwest of} Upton. It appears now as tho the former Upton and Thornton development will sgain receive a going over, as the old wells of the Southwest Oj] company that were drilled some years ago are to be cleaned out and an effort made to make them produce. This develop- ment has been going on for many years and is a shallow oil proposition like the Osage was before the deep well on section 10 was discovered possi-| bilities in the deeper strata. The Southwest Oil company drilled 2 well near Newcastle about three years ago and also worked with several oth- er wells in the immediate neighbor- hood that had been drilled for many but the Southwest did not ap-| ar to make a paying business Sut of it and the field was practically aban- doned when the Osage excitement start- ed work again. West of Upton and Thorton the Sundance neighborhood had several shallow wells that, lke the other operations, promised big at first, but failed to come up to expect- tions. These wells were found at from} 100 to 200 feet’ and showed a good grade of oil. The Richfort Wyoming} company is the present owner of the} wells in this field.

FRECKLE-FACE Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots. How to Remove Easily. Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face, to try a remedy for freckles with the guarantee of a reliable concern that it will not cost you a penny unless it re- moves the freckles; while if it does give yoy a clear complexion the expense is trifling. Simply get an ounce’ of Othine—dov- ble strength—from any druggist and a few applications should show you how easy it is to rid yourself of the homely | freckles and get a beautiful complexion, Rarely is more than one ounce needed for the worst case. Be sure to ask the druggist for the double strength Othine as this’ strength is sold under quarantee of money back if it fails to remove freckles.—Adv.
