TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1924 UTAH TO DRILL FOR NEW GUSHER WELL igged Up in the Lost Soldier Field Near Well That Went Dead After Flowing 8,000 Barrels a Day. Another attempt is to be made, by the Utah. Oil Refining to un- cork a gusher on its lease, 2-26-90, in the Lost Soldier field. A derrick fs now being rigged up and it is Probable that spudding will start the latter part of this week. In October, 1922, the Hughes Ot! company which then controlled and operated the lease, brought in its discovery well. This well was a real gusher, making 8,000 to 9,000 barrels of oll daily, The Utah Oil Refining company took over the Jease from the Hughes company and started to develop the lease. In ® comparatively short time the Hughes well dropped to 3,000 barrels daily and then later ceased to pro- duce altogether. Every attempt has been made by the Utah to resucitate this well but with no success. The cause of its failure and fizzle may be attributed to the fact that some months after it was 4rilled in, it was thrown wide open so that several persons connected with the company might satisfy their curiosity as to its actual output, The poor condition of the hole permitted water to break in and drown out the oil, It is the belief of geologists that the Hughes well was drilled in a favit, thus putting it in the gusher class and making it superior in out- put to any other well in the Lost Soldier field. The new well is located 7@ feet north of the dead one, and che hope is that another gusher will be struck. The sand should be reached at about 1,960 feet.

Rose in district court today with a considerable array of legal talent representing the two parties to the suit, The plaintiffs are represented by Frank England, Henry E. Perkins, J. P. Kem and W. O.

Molybdenum Deposit in Platte County Uncovered “ Discovery of molybdenum in Platte county is serving to stim- ulate increased interest in mining dn Wyoming. A report of this find as carried ‘in the Wheatland Times, is given as follows: “Following closely the announce- ment that 18,000 acres of mining claims have been filed in Platte ‘county within the past two years, ,and that gold and platinum assays running as high as $6 per cubic yard in these metals have been ‘taken from the Kuny hills, C. W. ‘Goodrich, who -owng several valu- able mining claims in the Kuny hills, and who is now. here from Casper doing assessment work on the claims, states that recent as- ‘says from his claims reveal that a ‘quartz lead twenty feet wide carries ‘from 2 per cent to 10 per cent of molybdenum, “ “Molybdenum is a rare metal “which has been found in no other ‘ection’ of Wyoming to Mr, Good- ich’s knowledge. It is used as an in hardening steel. It’s mar- ‘ket price is now quoted at $12 a “pound. “The ore is outcropping for three- quarters of a mile across the Kuny Huls. Mr. Goodrich and his broth- er C. Z, Goodrich are tunneling to strike the main lead and are now forty feet in. The formation in which they are now working con- tains a high percentage of copper salts. “A molybedenum mine in success- ful operation at Climax, Colo., car- ries around l.per cent of the metal. “Considerable interes, is develop- ing here in the find of gold and platinum ip the sands of the middle fovk canon at Centennial, where plans are under way to develop the placer beds at the headwaters of the Little Laramie on an extensive scale, “It {s thought that'there is some connection between the find at Cen- tennial and the deposits of gold and platinum in the Kuny hills, both de- posits being in the basin of. the Laramie river and apparently of ap- proximately the same high pet age of these metals in the placer sands.” Trade News TONKAWA, Okla., Feb. 26,—The Marland Oil company has made ar- rangements to unload fifty cars of oll well casings in the local yards here in March, April and-May.

NEW YORK,-Feb. 26.—Conflict- ing price movements took place at the opening of today’s stock market with gains and losses about even- ly divided in initial sales. Heavi- ness again cropped out in the copper group, American Smelting dropping Dearly a point, American Can, American Locomotive and Houston Oll made substantial fractional gains in the early trading. Standard industrials and ralls moved within narrow and irregular limits inn the early trading. Vir ginia Carolina chemical issues, which were weak yesterday on ru- mors of a possible reorganization, made partial recovery today the pre- ferred gaining a point, but Central Leather issues continaad to lose ground in reflection of a poor 1923 earnings report.

Reports that farmers were spreading an or- ganized movement to hold corn back for a dollar a bushel attracted con- siderable notice. Receipts of corn here were relatively small and pit Offerings ght, with demand of a steady persistent character. The opening, which ranged from ‘%c lower to Kc advance, May 80%c to Slo, was followed by moderate gains all around. In the subsequent trading, July and September deliveries both touched a new high price record for the season. May went to within a fraction of the best pricea so far. Then, profit sales led to a reaction. The close was firm, %@c to 4c net higher, May 81%c to 81%c. Wheat was depressed by weak ness of quotations at Liverpool. Corn strength acted as something of an offset. After opening %c to %c lower, -May $1.10% to $1.10% and July $1.10%, wheat steadied at a Uttle below yesterday's finish. Later a little rally took place as a result of increasing reports of crop damage, but the market effect fail- ed to last. Prices closed unsettled, Sc to tl net lower, May $1.09% to $1.09%@% and July $1.09% to $1.10.

Hendrix, head of the department of Romance Lan- guages at Ohio State University, will be a member of the. summer school faculty. Because of her wonderful climate Wyoming is able to draw to her summer school students and fac: ulty from all over the United States.
