WYOM1XG OIL XOTDH.
The Centennial Drilling company's
4rell in the Goshen Hole, south of
Torrlngton, Is now down 850 fret.
The Standard rig doing the drilling
is capable of drilling the hole to a
depth of 3,600 feet If necessary.
Charles C. Jameson of Denver,
bead of Richards & Comstock, who
was In Alliance last week, is much
interested In the oil development of
Eastern Wyoming. Ilirharda & Com
trk two the "77" ranch, north of
SJaavUle, which lies In the Lance
Creek field and on which drilling Is
pow going on. Mr. Jameson Is also
associated with the parties who are
organizing the Wyoming-Northeastern
Oil company, which will have
neaaenarters at Alliance.
John. Adams of Alliance and asso
ciates have moved their drilling rig
from the Tilot Dutte field to the
jiewly discovered field at Osage, six
teen miles northwest of Newcastle.
The completion of the Commercial
well at Osage by the Mike Henry Oil
company has disclosed a new and
tromlslng field. Reports received by
Penver oil operators say . that the
well, which is only 318 feet deep, is
food lor 100 barrels per day. The
structure Is an extended one and
there Is a wild scramble for drilling,
not less than fifteen rigs having
been brought Into the field within
the last two .weeks. . C, M. Looney
nd R. M." Daker of Alliance have
boldlngs in this field. Mr. Adams'
And his. associates have extensive
holdings which they will drill with
out delay.
Thirteen wells have been complet
ed In Lance Creek to date, of which
even are oil producers, four are gas
wells and two are water holes. The
present production of oil Is around
4,(50 barrels per day, with some of
the wells pinched down. The capacity
of the gas wells Is around 150,00,
000 cubic feet per day. There are
several wells in various stages of
completion which had water In the
first sand and which are being
drilled deeper. Fifty-two wells are
drilling; in the field, of which twenty-three
are below 3,000 feet.
What Is, so far as known, the
blgheet price ever paid for wildcat
Acreage In Wyoming was paid recent
ly by the Tenn Oil company of Phil
adelphia to the Wolfrang Oil com
pany for 800 acres in the Split Rock
field, eighteen miles west of Land
Creek and southwest of the 8,000
acres held by Alliance parties on the
Cheyenne river. The price was
112.50 per acre, or $10,000 for the
tract, which does not lie In the best
part of the field, according to per
sons familiar with the structure.
There la no drilling going on In this
district at present, which makes the
high price paid more remarkable.
The Wolfrang company controls the
greater part of the dome.
F. A. Raid of Alliance, who will
be the president of tne Wyoming
Northeastern Oil company, now be
ing organized, with a party of asso
ciates, spent a day last week in the
Mule Creek field, which is located
eighteen miles west of Edgemont,
across the Wyoming line. Mr. Bald
And his associates have 3,400 acres
Of land in the Mule Creek field." Last
week tl.ey purchased a Star No. 27
drilling rig and outfit and It Is now
being f reeled on their holdings on
the west side of the structure. C. A.
Titus, who drilled In the successful
well for the Sterling people at a
depth of 965 feet on section 14-39-61
has been employed as superintendent
and Is now in charge of the erection
of camp buildings and the rig. Dril
ling will start as soon as the neces
sary supplies can be secured. The
new pip line, the contract for wlch
was let a week ago, will cross some
of the holdings of the Wyoming
Northeastern Oil company. Drilling
on other holdings of the comrany in
Mule Creek will start within sixty
days by other companies to whom
leases are being made.

Ions In gasoline: 17,360,000 gallon)
In kerosene and 83,390,000 gallons
In gas and fuel oil. Consumption of
lubrlcatfhtf oil fell off about 34,730,
000 gallons. The only product to
show a loss In stocks on June 30 was
kerosene; which fell off 173,743.000
gallons,' due to the heavy expert
movement In this product. Gasoline
stocks on hand June 30 totaled 593.
896.610 gallons, against 4 IS, 4 40,353

The Wyoming stale land board has
awarded the crude petroleum from
state lands for a three-year period to
the Midwest Refining company, 'ine
Midwest's bid was the posted market
price for the oil, with the company
agreeing In addition to renne an or
Its petroleum in Wyoming except a
small amount to be sent to Utah for
reflnine: to immediately construct
at Laramie a refinery of at least
3,500 barrels daily capacity, this ca
paclty to be increased to 5,000 bar
rein as soon as the neighboring pro
Hurt Inn warrants: to expend not less
than J2.500.000 in enlarging its
a. a
Casper rennery, maaing ii ine larg
est in the United States; and to do
nate $300,000 to the state for appli
cation to the expense of constructing
a concrete highway from Casper to
the Salt Creek fields. The state roy
alty in petroleum is now running
17,000 barrels monthly, but Is rap
Idly increasing.
Telegraphic instructions re
celved at the recruiting office, 101
Box Butte avenue, announce the
fact that men who enlisted prior to
April 2, 1917, and are discharged to
re-enlist, will receive the bonus and
mileage pay. While many of the
regular outfits .did not see service
in France, they were the nucleus of
the great national army which took
the "germ" out of Germany. The
present regular army is an organlza
tlon quite unlike any ever maintained
in the United States before, with its
schools whre men are practically
and thoroughly trained in any trade
or profession they may choose. The
fact that civilian instructors ob
tained from the best universities are
selected to teach the men is evldenc
itself of the high efficiency standard
of the government operated schools.

With cheap stoe coal, build a fire in the Hound Oak
Double Burner. Turn on the double hot-blast drafts,
and, through the mica in the door, you will see the
smoke turn white and then disappear. The double
hot blast burns the carbon in the smoke. It converts
it into heat units, and - the; heavy boiler-iron body
radiates them directly in the room. The Round Oak
cone-center grate prevents the formation of clink
ers. The seamless base and ground draft guarantee
absolute control.
These are a few of the many reasons why you should
investigate the genuine ROUND OAK DOUBLE
BURNER before considering any other heater. If it
is a ROUND OAK DOUBLE BURNER, it is the
best.
