He declared that one very import- ant discovery was the outcome of recent experimentations in cement- ing wells in Salt Creek. ‘This, he said, was the fact that only by using condensed water is the success of the job assured. The experiment re- sorted to had inc'uded the use of Shannon, Salt Creek and Casper waters, none of which filled re quirements for a qiick”and a sure setting of the cement, It was only by application of condensed water that the cement hardened at once from top to bottom. Becausd¥of the alkaline’content oi the water obtained tn” its natural state from Casper, Salt Creek and Shannon,-the cement where exposed directly to these waters, remains soft. In the past formation shut-offs have been obtained when cementing, but seldom have good cementing jobs been secured. Rather than run the risk of having to re-cement, Mr. Estabrook said, it is best to be se cure from the beginning in using condensed water. Every operator in the Salt Creek field will Xe keenly interested in knowing that the Bureau ef Mines Proposes a ruling which will re- quire cementing of the 8%%-inch string of casing more than 225 feet below the first Wall Creek sand, back to the top of that sand. in or- der that a stray sand which is picked up sporadically in the field. wil have its water shut off with he same job that shuts off the first Wall Creek water in the edge of the field. That the Bureau is consider- ing such a ruling, was the’ state- ment last night of J. W. Steele. an official in the local office, Exception was at once taken to this intention, by Mr. Estabrook who declared that only in certain por- tions of the field is the stray sand encountered and that to compel op- erators generally to put down such n expens and long cement job be poor policy, and one It appears that the idea behind this possible ruling is to compel the op- erator to making a saving on cas ing. The 8%-inch is ordinarily ce- mented 225 feet below the first Wall Creek. when there is water in it. If such a job is done and a stray fand carrying water is later picjged up it is then necessary to run a of 6%%-inch casing and ce- a that would not be well received. rs iny the 8%-Inch through both sands and cementing back to the top of the first Wall Creek, the smailer string of pipe is not needed. Since no operator carries water from eith- er of these sands into the productive second Wall Creek there are many mystified producers wondering at n on this matter|the Bureau of Mines’ intention. to Testifies in Big Oil Deal .

Wolcott PAD: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1924 RECORD CLAIMED FOR MOUNTAIN WIEW IN REGENT DEVELOPMENT | With the close of the half year building campaign and development period on Deeember 31, the Baker- Grude Investment company claims a Casper record in development of Mountain View suburb, just west of the city. In support of this claim the company shows a record of 40 ‘houses built, nearly 600 lots sold, | installation of a complete water sys- tem including over four miles of mains and a modern pumping plant ad a@ 43,000-gallon tank, and in- stallation\by the New York Oil com- pany of over two miles of gas lines. To date there has been over 169 ‘acres of land platted, the original | plat including over 80 acres, nearly all of which has been sold, and addition No. 1 which comprises 80 acres is selling so rapidly the sur- veyors are now platting about 40 jacres more which will be known as | addition No. 2 to Mountain View Suburb. This land lies on both sides of the highway and is being laid out In lots and will be provided with water and gas early in the spring. The suburb contains a business section comprising four blocks— there is a park of approximately eight acres. with a small lake. _Suf- ficient Iand for a school building and grounds will be set aside soon. Of the 640 acres belonging to the Mountain View Development com- pany there is some 250 acres Jn addition to the 200 acres already platted which is choice and will be sold in lots and supplied with water and gas. The remainder, not being so choice nor so convenient to the highway, will be sold in acre tracts and supplied with water.
