TWENTY FIRST YEAR
A Prospect
Recently we announced the incorpora
tion of tho Nebraska Oil Asphalt and
Refining Co a company composed main
ly of our citizens F M Rathbun presi
dent Dr J D Hare secretary and
James Hatfield treasurer It is with
pleasure that we noto tho rapid progress
being made in this undertaking The
company has control of 2440 acres of
oil lands near Moorcroft Wyoming in
tho very finest part of the district
Their first derrick is completed and a
fine plant of boring machinery on the
ground now being placed in position
Theyxpect to have this machinery all
up and in operation in a few days Cas
ingor this first well has been ordered
direct from Pittsburg and consists of an
entire carload which is now on the way
The best feature however is that al
though a large amount of money has
been expended not a cent of indebted
v ness stands against tho company the
company having more than sufficient
means to meet all bills It is not often
that wo call attention to so worthy an
enterprise of the kind and one that has
the fine prospect for success that this
company has Mr G B Harmon who
has secured the contract for driving the
wells is an old oil man coming to Colo
rado from Pennsylvania a short time
ago where ho put down a large
tion ot tne wens now in operation ul
Franklin Pa whore lubricating oil is
also found Mr Harmons opinion of
the Moorcroft is that it far exceeds any
thing ho has over seen Tho quality of
tho lubricating oil found tests nearly
98 per cent pure as it comes out of tho
ground This oil should not be classed
with tho Beaumont Texas or other
petroleum oil fields crude petroleum
selling for from 5 to 10 cents a barrel
while this lubricating oil from tho Moor
croft field sells readily for from 7 to 10
a barrel Wo understand from tho sec
retary Dr Hare that the stock allotted
for sale is being rapidly taken and that
any one wishing to get in on this more
than fair prospect must apply soon or
there will be no stock for sale
Tho large blocks of asphalt and the
oil recently placed on exhibition in
Messrs McConnell Berrys window
was certainly an eye opener and shows
what can be expected when wells have
been put down

In the cabeled press reports which
reached American readers after the de
struction of St Pierre it will be remem
bered that considerable emphasis was
placed on the fears entertained in Mar
tinique that the well known author and
magazine writer Mr George Kennan
had perished in an attempt to scale Mont
Pelee Happily the rumors proved
groundless although if the ascent
by Mr Kennan in company with Pro
fessor Heilprin had been delayed one
day they would undoubtedly have been
destroyed by the greatest volcanic erup
tion of those which followed the fatality
of May 8th Mr Kennans story of his
experiences and of his observations made
in a thorough exploration of the devas
tated region form a thrilling story and
will make for the general reader the best
obtainable history of what happened in
Martinique and of the scientific causes
Mr Kennans account has been running
in serial form in The Outlook and will
be published in book form under the
title The Tragedy of Pelee by The
Outlook Company The book will be
fully illustrated with photographs taken
by Mr Kennan and others
