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."
