In the carlier days. Indians used the oil which bubbled from the ground in many places for medicine and. other purposes. The hardy pioneers of the old days used the oil for axle crease and for other Purposes. ~ “Fifteen years ago the first'refinery for the manufacturé of lubricating oil, axle grease and other minor products started here. The oil from, the Shannon fieid was hauled to Casper by tank wagons and brought on aver- return. of between $6.and $8 a rrel. “Tt may be new to. some of you that tho first ol! lease that was ever issued in the state of Wyoming wa: jnsned during the time that I was gov ernor.
