The well is located én what is known as the Chimmey Rock dome about 10 miles from Steamboat Springs, Cclo, and about 75 miles south of Rawlins, Wyo., the structure was surveyed by Geologist Charles T. Lupton of the Plateau Oil Corpora- tion and Mr. Lupton ts the well known discoverer of the Cat Creck field in Montana besides having earned an en- viable reputation as an oil geologist through ‘his work in connection with the surveying of the anficlines in the southern part of the Big Horn Basin in Wyoming for the U. S. Geological Survey. The strike at Steamboat Springs, in case it turns out to be a true oil fieid @s it promises now, will be the first dil fields in Colorado to produce oil from the Dakota sand and it will te the first ofl field of that state that will make oil from the Cretaceous forma- tions. The Florence oil fields is a shale oil production rather than a true sand field and there are no true oil sand fields in that state though there is no known reason why Colorado should well and previously found a showing mot have oil pools producing fram sands as well as any other region. Western States Well Flowing ~ of ofl in the Wall reek sands about The new strike of the ‘Western States at Hardin, Montana, is flowing and several flows have been lost be- cause there were no means of shut- ting the well in at the camp. A cas- ing head has been ordered and will reach there today and tankage is al- so being rushed to Hardin to take care of the crude. The strike has caused considerable excitement in the vicinity of Hardin an dadded considerable interest to the wells now drilling on other strus- tures in that region. There are nine known oil domes and structures jn that vicinity and three other welis besides the discovery well are now dril- ling on structures nearby. The Pro- ugers and Refiners are down about 987 feet at Wyola about 30 miles southeast of Hardin, according to a Jong distance report from that firm's officials, The Tennessee Montana Oil Co,. is down 1240 feet in their test of Hardin-near Corinth anil the © Ridge .Oil Co. is drilling at 1100 feet northwest of Hardin.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Although ® few years ago slaughter of even a few. bison would’ have been deemed a national calamity, the biological sur- vey of the United States department of agriculture will make no definite effort to stop the proposed shooting of & considerable number of these ani- mais on the privately owned Antelope island in Great Salt Lake, announced in news dispatches. * While regretting the announced de- cision of the or © of the herd to turn the fine animals. to sportsmen at $200 a head, Dr. E. W, Nelson, chief ‘of the biological survey, does not find it expedient to curtail other and more necessary game preservation measures by seeking a congressional appropria- ton to buy this herd at owner's price. A bill to‘purchase the island and ani- mals for $300,000 was recently intro- duced by Congressman Welling of Utah. r 3 “The dark day of tHe bison has passed,” said Dr. Nelson, reverting to the time not many years ago when the principal remnant of the countless herds that once roamed this continent consisted of a pitiful group of less than 100 .n Yellowstone National park, where they were prey to poach- ers because of inefficient protective laws. e “As & matter..of,fact, with the pres- ent rate of increase, it may become a problem in a few years how we shall care for the buffalo onthe national preserves. It would be desirable for the government ta own the Antelope isl- and herd but/there are other and more urgent uses for the money. I would much rather it were spent to buy addi- tional range land north and south of Yellowstone park for the sustenance of the elk which find insufficient win- ter feed within the grounds.” Statistics of the" American Bison society show that on January 1, 1920, there were 3,393 captive and wild buf. 1,032 were under the direct, protection of the federal government. The rate at which the animals are “coming back” may be partially realized from the fact that the January 1, 1920 fig- ures give 298 buffalo.on the national bison range at Moise, Mont., while/re- cent figures show 336. The nucleus of this herd was 40 buffalo in 1909. ‘The leader is Kalispell.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1 tion of power to President Obregon to regulate petroleum matters is forec by Vasquez SchiaMino, “official mayo: of the department of commerce and industry.. He says that modification of Article 27 of the Mexican constitu tion, which nationalizes petroleum de: posits, cannot be written into law by the extraordinary session of congress, | which began February 7, or by the regular session which will convene on May 1, for lack of time for careful study. Senor Schiafino said President Obregon is expected later to present a bill of his own. This legislation, however, will cause such a prolongedd €ebate that the president will need authority to regulate business in con nection with the oil fields, Senor Schiaffno was the original head of Mexico's petroleum department.
