T1LK OMAHA SUNDAY HEE: OCTOBEIi 25, 1914. OMAHANS STRIKE RICH 0IL1pIDEH5I..nIoUN1N-p- rViALWAL, CLUB. i Jack Pardoe and Associates Find a New Field In Wyoming. SOME OF THE WELLS GUSHEKS Oat OeejeraJlr Helea Saakesi Ar Jnmt Florrlnv I'adonfra Make Flattrrtaa; Offers a Lease Jack Pardon, known the country orar a Diamond Jack, for cloee to twenty years, ealrs muDiger for the Cola Fry Fish and Oyptnr company of Omaha, haa atnirk oil In Wyoming and twlleves that within another year he will fee Hated among the mllllonartea of the country. He went Into the oil rame a little more than a year ajro and since then he haa been carrying; 1 on hia operations without heralding from the housetops what he has been (loins'. Diamond Jack la just In from the ! Diamond Jack oil fields and with him he brings reports that have astonished the moat enthusiastic people who are asso ciated with Mm. He haa brought numer ous samples of the oil from the Diamond Jack fields and reports on the work that baa been performed. Tha reports show that on the association property, consist, tag of several thousand acres of land In tha vicinity of Oil mountain, sixteen miles southeast of III vert on and near the Northwestern'! Wyoming line, a number of walls have been put down within the last few months and In each oil has been struck at a depth of from forty to 250 feet. 80 me of the wells are gushers, but generally they are flowing propositions, the test of the nil showing that Its Illum inating properties are very high. OanKui Are Interested. Associated with Diamond Jack In the oil fields are Herman Schaffer, Ed C. Elliott, John A. McDanlel and James Wilkinson, associate trustee.- all of Omaha; Patrick .Stanton. Tllden; W. E. Patton and Frank ' J. Neff. Fairmont; John Dlngman. Qe neva; W. E. Urady, Grand Island; J. A. 'Kdaburn, long Pine; Charles Shannon, Cbadron, and a number of other wealthy men of Nebraka and Wyoming. , The remarkable thing about the field, according to Pardoe, la the fact that there la no stock to sell and nothing to place upon tha market for speculative purposes .Everything In connection with the project is entirely within the control of the , parties Interested and whllef called an as sociation, it Is mors In the nature of a partnership. Speaking of the oil outlook for the Diamond Jack fields, Mr. Pardoe Isald: "The outlook Is more flattering than we ' had anticipated. We have found oil In ; large quantities on every seouon of tha land that has been filed upon. We earns , Into posaeaalon of the knowledge regard ing thla field through the kindness of . Otis Barlltt, a business man of Casper. We went Into the project and took In a 'number of our personal frlenda In Ne. (broake. Wyoming, South Dakota and ; Iowa, men; with money, and thus wa are I able to carry on the work without f orra ; Ing a company and selling stock, . "From the manner In which the field J is developing, wa expect big returns be- fore the end of next year. Just prior to starting of the war in Europe , Mr. ; Barlltt had an offer by cable from par !tls in London offering a liberal royalty 'and a number of thousand dollars for one section of land of our holdings. The offer la still good, but must await tho 1 straightening out of tha financial situa tion abroad. , "At this tints there are four rigs put ting down wolls in the Diamond Jack field, one of which la from. California. 1 They will continue werk during tha win ter and we look for wonderful results, . results that .will put tha section of Wyoming around Rivet-ton on the map. Wa expect that the town will be tha sec ond Casper of tha state and that tha oil ( fields will beoome fully as Important as those of the' Band Creek country. Two of the greatest geologists of the world, Para of Italy and Oliver of tha United States, have geologised, tha field and pronounce It to have tha beat and tha largest quantity of mineral eil of any yet discovered. Ilaldlasra Are) LaavaeeL , "Several sections of tha Diamond Jack holdings have been leased to a Danver 'company for immediate operation and ' have enraged tha aarvloea of Dick Rilley, an experienced 11 man from ; Bakarsfleld. Cel., to do our work and proteot our Interests. "At Rlverton I attended a banquet and got the sentiment that prevails relative toward Omaha. The people feel friendly, . but many of them feel that Omaha Is not 'pushing out after the Wyoming trade as it should. I made a speech and assured .the business men about that board that now. with tha railroads reaching Into the interior of tha stats, they would sea that Omaha would get ou after the buat- neas and that every locality would be given fair treatment. "Rlverton Is one of the richest valleys ; of Wyoming and M already attracting much attention as a business center, to ' say nothing of tha capital being drawn there by reason of the oil field develop ment in tha vicinity." 1 'V' K J TIT J Eight Conventions for Omaha Next Year Already Scheduled Klaht conventions will meet here In 1?15. as the result of Omaha's advantages as a convention city and because those ad vantages have been called to the attention of the 1314 conventions by Omaha's bureau of publicity. Some of the gatherings scheduled for next year are of particular Importance to Omaha. Among them la the annual convention of the Methodist churches of Nebraska, which will bring 1,000 ministers and laymen to Omaha for one week. Other big conventions which voted to come to Omaha are Nebraska Spanish War Veterans, Sons of Friend ship, Women's Christian Temperance t'nlon of Nebraska, Federation of Labor, Missouri Vatley Medical society, Missouri Valley Veterinary society. Northwest Province of Episcopal Churches.
