THE OIL FIELDS OF WYOMING, Rich Veins of the Liquid Only Awaiting Development. WHY LITTLE HAS BEEN DONE. Want of Railroad Facilities and the Great Expense of Prospecting— The Work to Be Done Next Spring. Wealth in Wyoming Soll, NewcasTLe, Wyo., Oct. 12.—[Special to Tae Bee,]—The W ming oil and coal belt extends one degree in width from 44 degrees north latitude, southwesterly, crossiog the n Pacific road at Rock Springs at 41 Some twelve oil flelds and several coal flelds are scattered along this belt as far as the Sweetwater river, The existence of coal in Wyoming has been known since 1850, In Septomber, 1864, petrolenm was discovered in Wyoming. It had then been a commorcial product only five years, the first spouting well having been uncovered in Pennsylvania in 1850, The Wyoming ofl fields havs been largely prospected, but the want of railroad communication has prevented deop and ex- pensive borings. The economic and financial world has scouted the idea that petrolenm existed in Wyoming in considerable quan- tities. The indications, however, seem to me conclusive, that potroleum oxists in Wy- oming over a district far more extensivo than that of Pennsylvania. The Pennsyl- vauia oil belt extends from bsyond the New York line, southiwesterly into Ohio, and comprises only 861 square miles. There are in Wyoniing, within the space above named, fourteen different districts in which the in- dications of oil are numerous and uniform. Their elevation ubove the sea is from 3,200 to 6,300 feet, that of the Stockade district about Newecastle being 3 500 feot. The oil is held by nature generally in the sandstone. In Pennsylvania the oil lanas are from oue foot to fifuy feet in thivkness; in Wyoming there are fine oil Jands, which vary from fifteen feet to 400 feet in thick- ness, 1t is generally considered that Wyom- ing, while possessing springs of lubricating oil, bus 1o illuminating oil. ‘This, however, is the merest cuess-work: the facts can only be doterwined by numerous deep borings. Since the discovery of oii in New York and Pennsylvania, no fower than 53,000 wells have been sunk, very few of which have proved productive, It is suficient to say in rezard “to Wyoming, that petrolenm will probably be found at a greater depth, and that the dark and heavy lubricating oil thus far obtained at many places widely distant from one another at a depsh of 00 or 400 feet, is simply the vemains of what was ally petroleum, which have found their way 1o the surfacc, and from which the natural gas and other volatile elements have slowly escaped in the courss of its passage to the surfuce. Professor Bailey, when geologist of Wyoming territory, found green illuminating oils at a depth of $40 feet in the Bear river district, and_at 830 feet depth in the Belle Fourche district. ion of oil 1n the United 25,000,000 barrels, of is was ' from the Penn- vania districr, 1,783,000 from the Oh @ dis- trict and the small remainder was from West Virginia, Colorado and California. ‘Tne muximum yield of the Pennsylvania district was made in 1582, since which time there has been a gradual but steady decline. The 53,000 wells n the Penusylvana district have been sun tof $200,000,000; they have produced 811.000,090 barrels of oil, for which $300,000,000 have been received at the wells. The time must soon come when they will be dry. Their territory is well defined, their thickuess is known, and the diminish- ing supply will very soon prove inadequate to the increasing consumption of our rapidly wing people, ne so-called ‘ofl springs” of Wyoming are found where the rocky strata have been folded in canyons cut across these folds. The 0it has reached the surface, forming pools in beas of thickened oil, or “oil eake,” which is the result of the inoperation of the volatile eloments and the addition of dust blown by the wind upon_the deposit. From these oil cakes in the Stockade district at Newcastle the great Homestake Mining company at Lead City has secured a great deal of lubri- cating oil, and, further west, the Union Pa- cific railroad has obtained ‘considerable oil from similar deposits near their line, The e of the oil tuken from these pits are ble for their umiformity. he spe- v is very heavy—from 0,870 to their weight' ranges from pounds to 827 pounds in one The: is very little difference in these respects in the oils found along the entire belt across the territory, a fact winch curiously suggests a comimon, or at least a similar origin in huge reservoirs at a greater 008, The total pr St es in 1886 5,795,000 b depthi. A Tew shallow wells have been sunk farther west in central Wyonung, from which a fur supply of oil have becu obtained. They have been plugged up, however, await- ing the coming of the railroad up the valley of th weelwater, Tho ovinions of acknowledged experts might here e quoted in_great number. I will, nowever, give only three of them. rof. Williuin Lay says that “Wyoming will be classed abead of Penusylvania as au oil pro- ducing region Japtain Fowler delares that “Wyoming can beat Penmsylvania for a huand Prof. Siliman says that “no estimate can be made accurately of the vast benefits that would acerue 1f t ofi of Wyoming were proverly developed.” And ¢ ono—export or busincss man— ited and inspected these ol fields. All confident, enthusi- astie coucerning their future de opment, with an abuudance of conl in every direction, and with a vast store of so tur, macs ete., for the supply of the wuecessary cals needed for refining, we can speak extravagantly concerning the ultimate future of the region. In the Stockade oil district about New- castle the sandstones have an aggregute thickness of 2,300 feet, the layers varying from twelve to 150 feet, and the sume rock- couditivns exist in all the other fourtecn oil districts of the territory. In this district all the rock masses 8o far us investigation has goue, are found to be more or less charged with oil. Every indication points to both quantity and adequate pressure the further down exploration has goue. It has been found not only in the Stockude district, but about the Belle Fourche and the Sweetwater districts further west, that the oils grow lighter the further the drill bas penetrated. The great distanze from the railroad —from 200 miles up—hus aloue prevented expensive prospeeting with a view to an absolute de- termination of the quality and extent of the oil deposits, All that bas been done—and wore has been done about Newcastie than further west—has simply been o dig out the natural springs. Late lust fall, in auticipa- tion of the early extension of e railroad to this point, a large number of derricks were erected and a fow wells were started, but Little was accomplished beyond sinking pros- pect hioles for a few fect, The diamond drill was used in two places, and after reaching some four hundred feet in depth, oil was struck and overflowed, lighter in color and eravity than that found at the sur- Thoe coming spriog will witness de- Machivery will be introduced for boring to the requisite depth to det mine onco for all the quantity and quality ot the oil.

There are, accordiug to Prof, Hailey's map, about fifty locations in the Stockade oil dis: trict, which range over a field some ten miles square. Many of them have been mude by Omaha parties. Of them the oldest, and all things considered the most remarkable, is that on section 25, oue mile northeast of Newcastle, Mr. Coyle, a gentleman of thorough experience in - Pennsylvania, came here ten years ago, and begau the work of systematie exploratioe. In 1853 Le bored 110 feet und struck a flowing well, and a quarter of a mile distant from there he sunk Lwo otbier holes 105 and 110 feet in depth whi struck towing wells i 1884 Thoroughly satisfied concerning the out'ook he has made no further exvlorations. Farly the coming spring he will, with @ diawond drill, thor- oughly test the oil to us great @ depth us is nocessary, The first fifty feet be encoun- tered siate rock, then twenty feet of sand stoue, Lien a very hard slate for fifteen fect, aud the balance (8 taken up with soapstoue Iving between the 'sid¥e and sandstone, Be- low is & coarse syndatone which was found @180 in another boring, and which bears oil and is of the same character a8 the Pennsyl- vania socond sandsthne. At 235 foet they found oil, with pldniy of as, 1n the sand- stone. Passing below this they look for a third sandstone before strikinga flow of oil. 1t is confidéntly expected to find oil flowing in abupmdance at from 800 to 1,000 feet. The Kagle Oil company have 800 acres n their ' tract. The well which they will bore the coming spring will begin with _an eight-inch hole, which will be ro- duced to a five and five-eighth inch well as 800N as the oil-boarink sandatono is struck. ‘The sandstone is of & quality superior to that of Pennsylvania, and the gas already has a very strong pressure. There are two or whroe other similar borings about here, and others are being now made.

It should be aaded that the cost of a well has alone hitherto preclnded decisive oper- ations here. In Pennsylvania the first well has usually cost about$5,000, but here the cost is estimated, after the railroad is opened, at from $5,000 to #10.000 for & depth of 1,200 feet. An oil claim taken under the Placer act is of twenty acres; eight persous may take 160 acres and quit-claim to one per- son, Assessment work of $100 a year must be done for five years, D, C.
