Tle aaatdbabits OIL PRICES CUT Okla., Feb. 9.—The Sinclair TULSA, is also making good time in: spite of | Oll and Gas Company cut the price the winter weather. The Blair Oi1/°f midcontinental crude oil 25 cents company has another fine producer in their No. 35. This well found oil in the 10-inch hole and started off at better than 500 barrels for the first 24 hours. It would seem that ‘the Blair and Kasoming oil companies have some excellent territory yet to here today, making the‘ quotation $1.75 a barrel, ‘The Prairie Oil & Gas company an- nounced a similar reduction would be made, Both companies announced that. drill in the Lost Soldier and contig-|crtailment of rung put in effect, in uous fields. The U. 8. Petroleum well at the crossroads is shut down at 2,014 feet at present and will probably start up when the weather erates and the roads gets into « better shape. a New Territory Opened ‘The new strike in the Eldorako, Ar- kansas territory has all the earmarks of a new oil country opening up. Aa- other ,well has come in that started off at better than 1,00° barrels and the ofl men and fortu.. hunters are commencing to flock into the district. ‘The oil is a good grade of crude and the general opinion of the oil men here is that it has been struck at a rather bad time. The field looks like a strike of t size and it is starting off like Cushing did in Okla- homa. Like that field also it may cause a drop inthe oll market that will make things hard up here in ‘Wyoming, according to some of the operators for when Cushing got to sending out ofl shortly after it wis opened, the oil market dropped as low as 25 cents a barrel for good grades of crude because Cushing pool flood- ed the market and the refiners could not begin to handle the vast amount of ofl nor could they sell the products after they were refined because every refinery in the country was running to full capacity and the market was glutted with all the refined oil prod- ucts. , Dry Hole in Colorado, The Midwest drilled in a dry hole in a Colorado test and will abandon the structure altogether. The Chim-’ ney Rock welljof the Plateau Oil cor- Poration is driJting but nothing of in- terest has been found in that hole since the strike in the Wall Creek sands. f Indications of a pogsible new oil field in Colorado have been shown by the Midfields Oil company, with head- quarters in Wray, bringing in a 1,- 000,000-foot gasser in the well the company is drilling on Black Wolf creek in Yuma county. Thé'gas' was struck Sunday afternoon and. work has been temporarily suspended see if the spurt of gas will be follow- ed by oil. The well is located thirt five miles southeast of Eckley and the stockholders in the company are citi- zens of Yuma county. The company was organized by the local men in an effort to find if there is oil in the Black Wolf creek field, which has been pronounced, a prospective oil field by several geologists. The money ‘was subscribed for this test well, and it is understood that the company has an extensive acreage in the field. This is the first time that any drilling has been done in that section, tho there has been considerable drilling in all that section of the state east af Den- ver to the Wyoming and Nebraska lines. Considerable interest is mani- fested in Denver in this test well. Associated Operations. The Associated Oil company well near Harrison, Neb., is in shale and the 12-inch pipe is set and cemented about 1,900 feet. The hole is now bout 2,100 feet. Omaha, Lincoln and other Neb- raska towns have started a rush for the new “gold fields” in Nebraska. Oil @rillers on a ranch near Agate are said to have struck a gold vein as- saying $35 a ton only eight feet be- low the surface. Agate is in Sioux county, the northwest county of the state.

Trifling reactions marked the early offerings of Mexican Petroleum, Beth- lehem Steel and several of the east- ern railroad issues, notably the coal group.
