Show NATIONAL COMPANY'S OIL WELLS PRODUCERS "The difference between a speculation specula-tion and an Investment la shown by the properties of the National Oil and Refining company of Wyoming." said J. T. Crowe, manager of the company. "This property Is past lh speculation stage, having four wells that are actually actu-ally producing." The history of the finding of the National company's wells partakes rather ef the unusual. The company is composed of oil experts who were originally employes of th Wyalt Oil and Refining company, one of Wyoming's Wyo-ming's first producers. These workmen,' work-men,' as they went about their daily task., came to realise that the land thereabouts waa situated over u vnst subterranean reservoir of high crude oil, according to Mr. Crowe. After working hours they spent their evenings traversing the rld.es that neighbored on the Wyatt claims snd finally when they found the oil stone and aamT that are Indications of oil, they applied other testa. Realizing that they were upon the right trail, they made up a purse and had not only one, but five well known experts go over the ground, and assure them that they were on the light track. After testing to a greater depth, and finding Indications better as they went deeper, one of their number took a "layoff." hied to the nearest filing place, and thus the final steps of actually actu-ally claiming their ground were minle. Members of the Wyatt company, seeing see-ing their own holdings growing In value, have bought Into the National Oil and Keflnlng company, and '.lie little lit-tle group of former workmen of the Wyalt, who discovered that Ihe National Na-tional ground waa s vast reservoir of high grade oil. have watched th ir Investments In-vestments In the Wyatt grow Into substantial sub-stantial holdings, as the oil wells have Increased In the volume of their flew. J. K .Crowe of the National Oil and Refining company is now located In Halt Lake at 16 Main street. |
