MIDWEST GETS GUSHER OF FINE GRADE CRUDE Approximately 400 barrels daily of €1 gravity-oll, or almost straight gas- oline, is the flush production record of the Midwest Refining company's No. 2 well, drilled into the objective sand, August 7 on the Hogback struc: ture in New Mexico. A super-high gravity field is thus established by the bringing in of thig well. The Hogback structure {s 18 iniles west of Farm- ington, -N: M., in San Jaun county on the Navajo Indian Colorado: Last March work on this well was Suspenced at the depth of 783 feet, it being then considered a dry hole. Since it was located only a quarter of | a mile from No. 1 or the discovery well which had come in with a daily pretluction of 350 barrels of ofl and 81 barrels of water at 779 feet, {t was believed to have found the same sand | ary. A short time ago decision was made to drill the No. 2 hole deeper in or- der to test out lower formations. At 785 feet the true sand was pleked up and oil encountered, and after drill- rerervation | close to the boun(yry line of southern | to flow over the top of the pregent depth of 786 feet. While no test of quantity was made conservative est!- mates of the flush production are around 400 barrels dally. This development indicates that the sand found at 773-183 feet was not a true sand but probably a stray sand and that the priduction {s coming from the upper Dakota @# the same sand in which No. 1 found production It has been identified as a true eand with the result that the situation on the structure is very much altered, Through the Midwest No. 3 on this structure, at a distance of about 4,000 | feet east of No. 2 was drilled through all the Dakota sands to a total depth of 1,225 feet and found none of them ofl bearing, it has now been definite- ly determined that within the upper contours of the Hog back Dome is a remarkable producing field. It is ex- pected that the Midwest Refining company will soon begin an active development campaign on the proven area. J. W. Stewart, formerly district superintendent of the Midwest hera. ing one foot in the ean the well start- 1s in charge of operations in the New Mexico district. MORE LETTERS POUR IN WITH IDEAS ON SAFETY CAMPAIGN Brakes and Lights Two Important Factors in Operating Machines If Accidents Are To Be Avoided on Highways. BtM the testimonials pour in. Br- ery mall brings more letters contain. ing valuable man to man advice from the people of Casper, regarding the ‘Tribune's Drive right campaign, Hach has his idea, his own particular safety hobby, but all are pointing in the same direction, toward a less number of accidents and a smaller loss of life on the streets. G, EB. Willis, manager of the Willis garage, believes tnat the brakes of @ motor car, decide whether or not the driver of that car is considered @ safe or an unsafe driver. Mr. Willis says, ‘‘Help avoid acct- ents by having your brakes examined often, about once a month, by a com- etent mechanic, and when in need of new lining, use only the best. Us only such linings es carry @ bona-fide service guarantee. Haye your brake rods, wheel bearings, and steering gear propesty adjusted, put on chains when pavement is wet, and obey all traffic rules. “Drive right! Walk right!’ ‘The Auto Service Co. is @ firm backer of the campal, and Mr, WRyan, one of the owners can preach the gospel of safety from bitter ex- perience. His story is most inter: esting. ‘The safety campaign now in pro- gress is @ wonderful thing, as I had @coasion to meet with an accident a short time ago, while returning from Douglas. It might have proved ser- fous had I not taken every precua- tion to prevent it, A car approached me downward bound on a long grade. Me had his bright lights and his spot- Nght burning. There was a bridge at the foot of the grade @ sort of gulley. O gave him Dut he came on without changing his lights, I was blinded and stopped just in time to save myself from a fatal slide over a high bank. The other man kept on going.” “The same thing happens every day to others, both in town and in the country. The police department deserves much credjt for their untir ing efforts in enforcing the law, but there are always certain automobile law breakers who are never appre: hended. The Auto Service Oo., heart ily endorses this campaign and hopes to nee leas ncoldents in Casper. M. G Woodruff, manager of the Genter Btreet Filling Station does his bit for the campaign with the follow» » ing eontrivutiont “The people of Casper are eavep: tionally good drivers, especially the Indies. I notice that the lady drivers use our free alr, battery and greasing rervice more than the men da Keep fing the car up in good shape is a large part of good driving anG the person who keeps his car in the best condition is usually the best driver. ‘We are remodeling our station so that drivers and pedestrians can see across the corner from any direction. I think that will go a long way to ward avoiding accidents on our cor ner. The thing that we need most right now is gates on the railroad crossings. Durbin and Wolcott eape cially when there are no watchmen to warn traffic of approaching trains and {t is impossible to see the track in either direction unt! you are with- in a few feet of it. Men from out of town are not slack or timid about.stepping to the fore and registering their opinions opinions upon the Tribune's “Driv Right" campaign, R. D. Campbell, who identifies himself simply as a “business visitor,” has a few words to say to the people of the town in which he is iting. “You have started an excellent move in your aio crusade, Just state the facts regardless of anyone. Stand on the corner of Second and Center and watch the automobiles cut sharply around the curb, Stand on the steps of the court house and watch that same machine make that turn half a dozen times within ten minutes. . Joy riding. Walk up and down Center street at any hour of the night ‘and count the people who must have very undesirable places to live for they alt for hours at @ time, with apparently nothing to do but seo and be seen. Auto drivers that are in a hurry to get somewhere should have com- mon sense enough not to try to make Center street their playground and cause every pedestrian to think con- stantly ‘of nothing but his own life and limb. I admire most of your and realize now that you when what is right is brought to your notice. WHOLE BLOCK BURNS IN FILMING OF SPECTACLE PICTURE SHOWN TODAY One of the most stupendous fire spectacles ever offered will be seen at the America theater today and to- ‘morrow. It ts one of the sensational scenes in the highly dramatic Vita- graph super-production, “The Mid- night Alarm.” In “The Midnight Alarm” is shown the destruction by fire of an tire block of buildings, including a six- story structure. This was one of the most costly structures ever built for the sole purpose of destruction, and was in keeping with the policy of David Smith, Vitagraph director, that nothing be shown unless it was real- istic and that fakes and the like be barred. Director Smith also sought to make this production more speo- tacular than even “Ninety and Nine” or “Masters of Men,” both of which tremendous successes were yy him, He supervised all con- struction for Picture. A large portion of the twenty-three acre studio owned by the Vitegraph com- pany Was devoted to the erection of a metropolitan business district. The set reached across the width of the studio grounds and consisted of a street and a group of buildings from three to six stories in height. At the farthest end, a practical six-story building was erected. The spectacle was so tremendous In scale it was necessary to obtain the permission of the Los Angeles au- thorities to carry it out, because of the danger of the flames spreading to the studio structures, Alice Calhoun and Percy Marmont, leads in the picture, were in grave peril when the ladder hoisted to take them to safety caught fire in spite of the streams of water playing on it. In desperation, they were forced to Plunge to fire nets that were hurried to the scene by the Los Angeles fire department. Their bravery was greet. ed with frenzied cheers of the spectators. Extra pumping engines were draft- ed to force water through extra pump lines from the studio reservoirs, ‘Throughout the night the firemen worked to extinguish the blaze. They were menaced by the falling timber of the structures, and many of them sustained cuts and bruises. The film- ing of the fire was hailed on all sides as one of the most gigantic feats ever accomplished for the screen. pea Sugar NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Sugar fu- tures closed steady; approximate sales, 38,000 tons.
