Water Menace in Oil Well Drilling Is Pointed Out ‘Waters that are not confined to the strata in which they occur but mre allowed to migrafe back of the casing into oll and gas formations are a source of serlous yet prevent- able underground loss in oil fields, state investigators of the depart- ment of the interior in bulletin 232, recently issued by the bureau of mines. Top water, which may reach an ofl sand in large volume, may prevent oil from entering a well and sistance to water than sands con- taining oil. * Then a water sand is found be- tween two productive strata, the water should be confined so that it can not migrate to these strata. If the water is under pressure, it may flood the top oil zone as readily as the bottom one. Often an upper oil stratum is productive in one well but is not in a neighboring well. Both strata should be protected from water, otherwise the upper ofl sand in the producing well may be flooded by water from the other well and thus cause premature abandonment of the producing well. Failure to shut off water properly often affects a distant well. This was clearly demonstrated by repairs mado on a certain well in the Cush. ing field, Oklahoma. The work re- sulted in shutting off water not only in the well repaired, but in a well in the Cushing field, Oklahoma. The work resulted in shutting off water not only in the well repaired but in @ well approximately 1,300 feet dis- tant. Before the original well was repaired, the dally production of the distant well was only 20 barrels of oil and a large amount of water; af- ter the repairs the daily production of the distant well increased to 600 barrels of ofl per day. Although water travels slowly through sands, it has been known to migrate several miles through sands in Pennsylvania. Water from one well may migrate to other wells end damage a large part of an oil field. In fact, whole fields have been damaged in this way. Conservative Committee Retained by Producers Recommendation that the Salt Creek Producers Conservation com- mittee continue indefinitely its work of regulating the development and output of the famous Salt Creek field on the basis of sound business principles, was made last Saturday in Denver to the operators who are members of the organization, by the executive committee which met there. This action was taken be- cause of the numerous letters re- ceived from operator-members who advised such continuance was neces- sary to the best interests of all con- cerned. Another meeting has been sched- uled to be held two weeks hence. At that time a 1924 drilling program for Salt Creek will be outlined, Much’ interest is naturally attracted to this determination since there have been’ repeated rumors to the effect that this summer. the lid would be off in that fieid which so long has profited by conservation measures when fields in the Mid- continent and California districts Were being drilled and produced to the Iimit. ‘With the recent successive ad- vances in the quotations on Salt Creek crude which have more than Coubled its price since the first of the year, and with) the prospect that further increases are to come this spring, chere has been an undercurrent of desire on the part of some operators to plunge in and make the most of market conditions by runnmg wild. If the Conserva- tion committee, by continuing to function,.cap restrain such an out- burst the oil industry in Wyoming will have benefitted greatly and prosperity is almost certain to pro- ceed on an even keel. Market Gossi p and Briefs On Operations in Oil Fields Bid On Teapot It was brought out at a recent meeting of the Young Men’s Lite- rary club in Cheyenne that Leslie A. Miller of that city and several associates had bid on Teapot Dome early in 1922, prior to its being sec- retly leased to Harry I, Sinclair. Mineral Claims Filed Within the pest two yedrs min- eral claims covering 18,000 acres of gold and platinum prospects have een filed on in the vicinity of ‘Wheatland, Wyo., filing fees on these claims totalled close to $30,- “000. The prospects thus far located have been mainly in the region of Ura and the Kuny hills. Indica tions of radium were found in tho latter district. May Get Cannery It is possible that Laramie may be selected by the Colorado and Wyoming Canning company as the site of a $150,000 canning factory. Whether or not this ‘ndustry locates in Laramie depends upon the amount of acreage planted in table peas. The company’s requirements is that no less than 750 acres be de- voted to raising such a crop. It is planned by the new concern to build three factories in Colorado and Wyoming. Two Claims Located. Fay BE. Smith, secretary of the University of Wyoming, has record: ed filings on two claims in the pla- tinum district above Centennial, Wyo. They are called the Blizzard and Langdon. Platinum District Activity. Activity in certain groups now engaged in exploiting the platinum fleld above Centennial is reflected in papers filed with the county clerk, but there is nothing to indl- cate the reasons for this particular activity: Releases and amended lo- cations represent the obvious range of activity. The Wyoming Platinum Placer syndicate, composed of B. F. and Jesse E. Northrop, A. J. Hull and Alfred Daykin, have released the BY% E% SE 18-15-78 to F. H, Crawford and C. F. Critchfield, and the NE% NE% 1 “78. It would seem, however, that these relin- quishments are offé¢et by a reloca- tion—sixty acres in sections 17 and 20 of township 15, range 78. In addition to the foregoing, a group comprising George R. Sand- ers, Florence Rose Sanders, E. O. Fuller, Irene 8. Fuller, E. P, Me- Carthy, E. H. Rose, Mary S. Daykin and O. M. Finley have relocated cer- tain parcels in 19-15-78, as of De- cember 1. New Bureau Head W. W. Scott has been appointed deputy supervisor of the Casper of- fice of the Bureau of Minbs, to take the place of O. E, Beecher who is now with the Empire Fuel and Gas company in the Midcontinent dis- trict. Mr. Scott comes from the Texas office of the bureau. H. B.

Feb. 6. — Stock Prices developed an irregular trend after an early period of firmness in today’s abbreviated session. Busi- ness was suspended at 12:30 out of respect for the late former President Wilson. Commission houses report- ed serious interruption to wire ser- vice because of storms in the east and middle west. A bullish demonstration In Bald- win which sent that stock up nearly three points was the day’s individual feature, although Kresge Jumped 10 points to 310 a record high for all time, on a small turnover. Northwestern railroad shares were strong. Considerable profit taking took place on such issues as Amert- can tobacco, Pressed Steel car, Du Pont, corn products and Hayes Wheel, which dropped one to almost three points. The closing was :r- regular, Sales approximated 600,000 shares, NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Renewed buying of the ofl shares featured the opening of today's stock market, which displayed a firm tone. Most of the initial gains were fractional but they were spread over a rather broad list. United States Steel op- ened %c higher at 108%; Tidewater Oil advanced 11%. Considerable ir- regularity developed in the first half hour but the main trend appeared to be upward. Buying of the oils con- tinued to be the feature, Tidewater Oil extending its gain to 2% points, Cosden preferred rising 2% and Mexican Seaboard common and Royal Dutch moving up a point or more. Sugars were firm; Cuba Cane preferred rising a point. Corn Prod- ucts, Liggett and Myers, Pressed Steel Car, and the Union Bag and Paper were heavy, dropping a point or so.

Mrs. McClafferty will accompany the remains. McMaster Asks Coolidge To Halt Gas Raise PIERRE, 8. D., Feb. 6—Governor W. H. McMaster today wired Pres- ident Coolidge asking the executive to take some action to stop the rising price of gasoline. The gov- ernor declared the cornering of the crude oil market by the large oil interests has taken the fight out- side of the state of South Dakota, where it was originally begun on August 7, 1923. “The state government is amply able to crush out excess profiteer- ing in the distribution of gasoline within the state but we have no power to control the price at the refineries,” the message read. “If a state government has performed its duty in preventing excess prof: iteering in the Cistribution business shall not the federal government likewise perform its duty and pre- vent excess profiteering in the re- fining of gasoline?” om GAS PRICE ADVANCE. DENVER, Colo., Feb. 6—The Con. tinental Oil company today an- nounced a two cent a gallon in- creaso in the price of gascline at all filling stations in Colorado, ef- fective tomorrow. The new price will be 21 cents, exclusive of the two cent state tax.

CAREY {WILSON 15 LA PASSES AA (Continued from Page One) Roosevelt, issued the call for the conference that resulted in the or- ganization of the Progressive party. CAMPAIGNED FOR WILSON In 1916, following the expiration of his term as governor, Mr. Carey was still listed among the frrecon- cilables and his campaigning in sup Port of Woodrow Wilson, then seek- Ing reelection as president, was a feature of the campaign in states of the Rocky Mountain region. During his later years Mr. Carey was not actively engaged in politics or public life. Mr. Carey was born January 19, 1845, at Milton, ‘Del., his parents ho- ing descendants of two pioneer fam- ilies of the early colonies. He com- pleted his early education in public and private schools and his higher training in Union college at Schnec- tady, N. ¥., and the University of Pennsylvania, where he finished a law course in 1867. His first politi- cal tendencies were shown during his final year as a law student when he stumped New Jersey and Penn- sylvania in political campaigns. In 1869 when Wyoming was or. ganized as a territory, Mr, ‘Carey was appointed the first United States attorney for the newly created ter- ritory. In 1872 he was appointed by President U. S. Grant to be an as- sociate justice of the supreme court of the same territory. Four years later he retired from the judiciary with an excellent record. Mr. Carey was one of the first men to realize the resources of Wyoming and to help promote them on a large scale. He was the founder of the Wheatland colony, the first big irrigation scheme in the state and was for a number of years presi- dent .of the Wyoming Livestock association which represented cat- tle investments of $200,000,000. During all these years while he was building up his private bus!- ness Mr. Carey continued to be a servant of the people and filled many public offices. He was elect- ed mayor of Cheyenne in 1880 and served for three consecutive terms. He was elected delegate to the 49th, 50th, and Gist congress. Mr. Carey was author of the acts admitting Wyoming and Idaho to statehood and in 1890 was elected United States senator, tho first to represent Wyoming in that capacity efter the territory was admitted to statehood. During his term of of- fice he pushed land legislation and put through the “Carey act” which has contributed greatly to irrigation progress in the Rocky Mountain states. In 1911 Mr. Carey was chosen as governor of the state and made an excellent. record in the office. One of his most important works was the improvement of the charitable and penal institutions. Other im- portant political offices held by Mr. Carey during his life were commis- sioner of the Territory of Wyoming at the Philadelphia world’s fair in 1876 and 20 years as a member of the national Republican committee. Mr. Carey is survived by his wid- ow and two children, Robert D. Carey, governor of Wyoming from 1920 to 1924, and Charles D. Carey, of the J. M. Carey and Brother Land company. Both reside in Cheyenne. The news of the death of Joseph M. Carey, former governor of Wyo- ming, which was recgiyed in Casper this morning, occasioned much sor- row and regret among his many Casper friends. Among the Casper. people who kSiew Mr. Carey intimately is Bert Wagner of Richards & Cunningham. Mr. Wagner's father, Henry Wag- ner, for many years a resident of Lander, but now living in Denver, was chairman of the state Repub- can committeé in Wyoming for several years in the ‘80's and was closely associated with Mr. Carey in the political campaigns of party. that. a For results try a Tribune Classi fed Ad Hillyer, AT FINAL RES WV WASHINGT} (Continued From Page One) there as a last token of remen brance from the chieftain who be passed on to eternity.
