Aviva Bell Stockholders to | Meet on Saturday Evening the Anna Bell Wyoming Oil com- pany will be held at the court house at 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening for the purpose of discussing the pres- ent and future activity of the organization. This company was organized 15 months ago by W. E. Patten, presi- dent and general manager, from an associated membership of 760 labor- ing men purchasing a $100 un- divided interest each for drilling a well in a wild cat acreage Pickett Lake structure which {ts located about 52 miles west by road from the Lost Soldier ofl field. By direct air line it would be about 30 miles. ‘Wher looking over the structure on which drilling was proposed. namely sections 9, 10 and 15 in township 26, range 97 west, known as the Pickett Lake dome or struc- ture, Mr. Patten directed his fur- ther attention to a comparison and analysis that he decided the same dome could be correlated with the ‘Wall Creek sands in the Salt Creek field. and since there were three ‘Wall Creek sands in the Salt Creek field, Powder River country, it would be natural to expect the same conditions in the Lost Soldier fleid. He found that a Piera formation was exposed on the surface, known to be underlain by the Niobrara and Benton shale and sandstone. In the other field these ofl formations are oll producing in their sands. The most prominent geologico! horizon in the field, according to the report of G. B. Morgan, geolo- which Mr. Morgan named Eagle's Nest sandstone of cretacious age. This sandstone contains a lime ce- mented material and has a total thickness of 600 feet. The under- lying exposed shales are reported to contain ofl in paying quantities. “The field presents two perfect structures for the accumulation of oil.” says Mr. Morgan. “My opiniun ts that oll will be found in this field. If oil is found in the first sand or in the shale above the sand due to an upward migration of ofl, as in the Salt Creek field, this condition alone would certatn- ly justify drilling until the Wall Creek sand ts reached. The struc- ture presents a remarkable oppor- ity and in fact is the most prospecting territory I Sinco Mr. Patten organized his company of 700 laboring men with a capitalization of $1,000,000, divided into as many shares. par value $1. for an undivided interest in section 9 and adjoining 10 and 15, he has had a well drilled on section 10. This well is now 3,100 feet deen with. good intentions of opening uo a@ good wild cat of! producing field. ‘Through the foresight of Mr. Patten, he secured an option on an 80-acre lease in the Lost Soldier field.gt $4,000. He called a meeting of his associates, outlining his plans, and 400 additional places of 100 shares each at a capitalization of $40,000, par value $1.

FORMER DENVER ‘ MAN GAVE TIPS DENVER, Colo., Dec. 27.—In a message to his brother, Judge Julian’ 'T. Moore of the Denver district court today, Alfred ‘I. Moore, a, ‘well known newspaper man of Den-, ver, now of New York, decared that he had furnished the information to Lieutenant Osborne C. Wood, son of Major General Leonard Wood, on which he is said to have made between $700,000 and $800,000 in ‘Wall street. Moore resided in Denver for a number of years. In 1885 he went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he be- came city editor of the Cincinnati Post. From there he went to New York where ho became associated with a financial bureau. He now owns the bureau. Moore is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Denver and a member of the Denver Athletic elub, SINCLAIR MUST PIVE TESTIMONY (Continued from Page One) gation to those who are associated with me and whom I represent, and by a genuine conviction as to the right/of business privacy to make fan earnest protest,” Mr. -S'nelair said, in a statement filed with the committee. “The Mammoth Of] Company is the company created to carry om the obligations of the lease.

They are not my personal affairs alone but are the concern and valid interests of many others. They are essentially private in their character, and le at the base of the stability of these companies, “I am not the least unwilling to produce these except an unwilling- ness which arises from my desire not to disclose the legititmate private af- fairs of myself and those I represent.

Fall, filed to- day with the genate public lands committee, declared that a $100 000 loan advanced to Mr. Fall by E. B. McLean, the Washington publisher, enablea him to purchase additional ranch heldings in recent years in New Mexico. The source of the funds with which the former secretary en- larged his New Mexico establish- ment had been sought by the com: mittee as a result of testimony given by previous witnesses in the senate inquiry in the leasing of the Tea- pot.

The effects of a further ad- vance in crude prices was counter- acted by stiff money rates. Gales approximated 1,400,000 shares. NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—A wide assortment of stocks, including most of the oils, steels, equipments ind numerous specialties, moved ipward moderately at the opening of today’s stock market, A few shares, including some of the motors and food issues declined fractionally. The early trregularity in which Davison Chemical, Schulte, Guyamel Fruit, Cuban Dominion Sugar pre- ferred and New Orleans, Texas and Mexico were driven down one to two points with Northwestern yield- ing to 47%, the lowest figure of the year, was followed by a vigor ous upturn under the leadership of the equipments, motor accessories and independent steel shares. Gains of one to two points were estab- lished by nearly a score of active shares. Foreign exchange rates opened higher. Mixed price movements character- ized the forenoon transactions on the stock exchange, the marking up of special stocks apparently being utilized for selling elsewhere. Mem. bers of various groups moved tn op- Posite directions, conspicuous ex- amples being found tn the action of food, motor, motor accessory and oil shares. Several stocks rose to| new high levels for the year, Includ. ing American Locomotive, Pacific Oil, Sloss Sheffield Stee! and Ameri- can Cotton Oi! preferred, certificates. Losses of 1% to 2% were recorded on the other hand by Davison Chemi eral Cigar, shares were narrow except in the coal ofls which were strong. Call money opened at five percent.

Domestic receipts were smaller at many points, but Canadian stocks continued to pile up, and {t was con- tended that regardless of the tariff, @ large amount of the Canadian Srain was destined to come into the United States. Besides, deliveries on December contracts here were again lbderal. The opening, which varied from unchanged figures to %o lower, May $1.06% to $1.07 and July $1.05% to $1.05%, was followed by a moderate decline all around. Subsequently, further declines took place. Houses with northwest- ern connections led the selling. The close was heavy, % to 1\% cent net lower, May 1.06% to 1.06% and July 1.05%. Unfavorable weather tended to lft prices of corn and oats. More over, country offerings of corn to arrive were very small, and mes. sages were at hand saying that farmers believed present quotations much lower than would be the case later in the season. After opening % to %c higher, May 73% to 73%c. corn continued to point upward, Later, there was something of a reaction in sympathy with wheat weakness, Corn closed unsett'ed at % to % cents net gain, May 73%. Oats started at 1% to ic advance, May 44% to 45c, and later held near to the initial range. Provisions reflected the setback in hog values.
