FIELD NOTES. 



Received from the Green River Oil Fields, Utah, May 3rd, 1902. 



The Milton Oil company is en the active 

 contracts let for sinking from one to 

 ten wells. 



The Huntington Oil and Mining Co. has 

 just been incorporated to develop its land 

 in these fields. 



An Idaho company is erecting camp 

 buildings preparatory to putting down a 

 well near the San Rafael. 



The Gold Dividend Oil Co. of Salt Lake 

 City has been incorporated to develop 

 their holdings in this field. 



It is reported that R. H. Pope and as- 

 sociates will build and operate a refinery 

 at Thompson's Springs this summer. 



Samuel Maceachen has en route from 

 Pennsylvania five Standard and two Star 

 rigs to commence active work in these 

 fields. 



The California-Utah Oil Co. have let a 

 contract for another 1,000 feet. The pre- 

 dictions are that this company will soon 

 bring in a big well. 



Now that silver has dropped to 50 cents 

 an ounce mining men are turning their at- 

 tention and money to the oil fields, as they 

 promise better and quicker returns than 

 mining investments. 



The Mining Review of Salt Lake City, 

 in its issue of April 30th, published a very 

 able article on the ''Utah Oil Fields" by 

 Marcus E. Jones, A. M. It is a good thing; 

 write them fora copy. 



E. C. Gamble, an oil expert who has 

 operated successfully in other fields, is 

 here with a large corps of engineers get- 

 ting ready for work. He expresses great 

 faith in the outcome of the Utah fields. 



Representatives of at least 500 compa- 

 nies and individual land owner* are sched- 

 uled to meet at Price on the 8th for the 

 purpose of discussing topics pertaining to 

 our oil industry and to further its. best in- 

 terests. 



An oil convention is to be held at Price, 

 Utah, on May 8th. Object: "We believe 

 that in Eastern Utah a much richer oil 

 belt exists than any heretofore discovered. 

 Hence there should be concentrated action 

 in advertising our oil lands." A large at 

 tendance is anticipated. 



The Petroleum Gazette, one of the lar- 

 gest and most powerful papers published 

 in the Eastern oil fields, in a late number 

 was kind enough to publish a two-column 

 article about our fields. Bonds and Mort- 

 gages, published in Chicago, has also given 

 our field considerable deserved space. 

 Good things will come to the surface. 



Encouraging reports continue to arrive 

 from the Northwestern Consolidated Oil 

 Co., who will soon have a rig on the 

 ground. The California-Utah Oil Co. 

 struck a flow of oil and water, which is 

 now being cased off. Everything is going 

 along nicely at the San Rafael and R. M. 

 Pope wells. Companies are being formed, 

 and everybody is getting ready to develop 

 his ground. 



There has been considerable activity 

 during the week. Many visitors have 

 been here, among them several Denver 

 parties who have been looking the ground 

 over for capitalists, with a view of putting 

 in several rigs right away. Rumor has it, 

 and pretty well defined, too, that some of 

 the rigs will bo placed on Walker Bros'. 

 ground. The parties in question return< d 

 to Denver with maps, samples of oil, etc , 

 to make final arrangements with the capi- 

 talists referred to, who are all operators at 

 Beaumont, Tex. 



While en route to Boston Manner A. 

 J. Davis stopped off at Cincinnati to con- 

 fer with the officers of the Cincinnati, 

 Utah & Wyoming Oil Co. 5o well pleased 

 were the Ohio people with the report made 

 by Mr. Davis that they decided to c< m-
