The Omaha Dally News says In Its
Issue of May 22nd that owners of
and Investors In Nebraska potash
f reducing plants have been cheered
the last few days by the announce
ment from Germany that shipments
o'r foreign potash Into the United
States cannot be resumed for two or
three years at least. Production of
Oerman potash, according to reports,
will be less than the amount needed
for domestic uses during 1919 and
1920. Several Nebraska companies,
according to the reports are prepar
ing to resume operations.

The oil excitement in eastern
Wyoming is becoming more Intense
with each succeeding well. Mil
lions of dollars have been made by
investors and land owners within the
last three months In the Lusk and
adjoining Oelds. With present nroa-
pects additional millions will h
made during the coming months In
the fields which are now being de
veloped and . In newlv diaoovproH
fields.
A number of Alliance men are
financially interested in companies
Which have holdlnea In tha famn...
Lance Creek field, north of Lusk and
northwest of Alliance, nth h.
recently become interested in the
new Mule Creek field, eighteen miles
west of Edgemont, South Dakota.
Several thousand acres of leased, fil
ed and validated lands have been
secured during the last month in the
Mule Creek field by local parties,
who will either lease their holdings
on a royalty basis or will proceed to
drill this new field.
According to the Denver Post the
Ohio Oil company, one of the largest
In the country, on Tuesday of last
week completed negotiations for the
purchase from the Argentine Oil
company of 12,000 acres of land on
the Mule Creek structure for a re
ported consideration of $2,000,000.
The field has been proven by the
completion of a well by the Ohio
company two weeks ago of one well
at 1,300 feet, which promised at flrat
to become a pumper but which has
since developed into a flowing well,
making from 150 to 200 barrels.
Part of the production from this
well Is being utilized by the Ohio
Company In drilling another well
nearby and part Is being sold to the
Midwest Refining company, which Is
drilling a well close to the first Ohio
well. Drillers In the Mule Creek field
state that the cost of securing a pro
ducing well there Is probably lees
than tn any other part of Wyoming,
the cost being approximately $5,000
to 8.000. Well known geologists are
reported to be of the, opinion that
the Mule Creek field will become one
of the largest "shallow" fields In the
country and that mlllnns of dollars
worth of oil will be produced there
from. ?
Representatvies of many of the
big companies are .staying at Edge
mont and the, building of rigs and
the taking in of drllllug outfits into
the field Is proceeding at a rapid
rate. Interesting and profitable de
velopments are expected from this
field which Is Just coming Into the
limelight. .
