OIL EXCITEMENT AT BYRON Real Uasaer I Tapped aad Kselle arte at Is lllaa All Over Ike Mew Field. BYRON. Wyo., March U-(Ppeclal.)-Th people of this locality are very much en couraged over the oil outlook at the present time. The Wyoming snd Montana Oil com pany hag brought In a well that la a sure enough gusher, as It throws oil fully 10 feet above the surface. Three other large out fits are now on the ground and various other Interests have rvperts here watching operations and staking out new claims. Prof. Samuel Aughey, a geologist of Inter national reputation, who was here recently to examine the Ryron oil field, has this to say of the district: "After going over a part of this field again and seeing the confirmation of my first report, the conclusion reached Is that the Byron Is ono of the great high-grade illuminating oil fields of the world. There are lsrger fields, but none that yield so high a grade of ail." While the present developed field la com psrstlvely small, the consensus of opinion of the experts Is that the field extends from Bonanxa, Wyo., on tho south, through the vicinity of Ore) hull and Byron to a pofnt a short distance south of Brldger. Mont., and It now looks like this entire district will be staked out In oil claims within the next sixty days, as surveying parties and locators are to he seen In sf-v- ersl parts of the district. The Barnadall people have already taken up and leased shout ."" acres. Th Rat teson, Okl., firms have leased some lain acres and have a modern drilling outfit working day and night. Ths Miles City company la putting down a well Jut half a mile north of Hymn, and an Indiana firm has shipped eight csrs of modern drilling machinery to he use.l In testing some 2 ( acre of leased locations that wer located by local people. At the pres ent time not to exceed A per cent of the supposed oil district has been located, but It Is hing taken up fast and many of th locators are f-eltng like millionaires. HERRICfV.
