CHICHESTER SPILLS years known | Shib BY DRLGnISTS SEE BEN : ips 3 CASPER, WYOMING : 7: . All things considered, the Salt Creek field in Wyoming is the great- est oil field in the world. In it New York Oil has fractional interests on 4,240 acres. These fractions combined constitute about 700 acres. We have an interest in 60 oil wells already drilled on the 4,240 ‘acres, On one of our less valuable 4%6U-acre tracts the production amounts to over $950,000 since October, 1917. This is from three sand wells and two shale wells which have been brought in from time to time. . This oil started selling for $1.50 per barrel and rose gradually to. $2.75. This acreage will do better than it has done. The company will pay an 8 per cent dividend from its share of this income, which will be reléased after August 25, 1920. / ; Schooi. Soon ‘.
