Show PAGE TWO FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER THE SUN, PBIOH UTAH EVEBT FBIDAT. OIL IS NOT REACHED AS YET IN ANY OF THE WELLS . OHIO HAS GONE AROUND ITS LOST TOOLS. Castle Dale Company Breaks Stem of Big Drill With Repairing Job Being Conducted At Price Important Developments Looked For From Hunt- Jnfton Field Almost Any Tims. ined what hardship are encountered by the freight wagons and trucks taking in heavy loads of easing and supplies. By watching road and weather conditions carefully, it generally is possible for the supply trurks to make a round trip between Caineville and the railroad within seven days and between Circle (Miffs and the railroad within ten days. Under favorable conditions this time may.be reduced somewhat, but when eonditions are abnormal it may be increased to double or more. Under normal eonditions five trucks are in use to and from the two camps. Three of them are required practically all the time to bring supplies into esmp and take empty gasoline casks to the railroad. The remaining two are devoted to water hanling for the Circle Cliffs eamp. Sometimes extra trucks are pressed as. well as teams. Practiinto sen-iccally all the hauling of heavy materials and fuel is done by freighters. Although the Caineville camp is situated iu the heart of the Cainetille desert, aliout eighty miles from Green ltiver and a hundred and twenty miles from Richfield, it has some advantages over Circle Cliffs. The well supplies water for drilling purposes and for the boilers, but as the water coming from the well rarriea about 3 ier cent of salt it is necessary to haul water for culinary purposes. The eamp is within five miles of Caineville, where there is a postoffice and telephone (when it is working) and where fresh vegetables in season and a limited variejy. of groceries may be obtained. Now Past the Tools. The Ohio well at Huntington has gotten past the lost tools and is now again on the downward course with developments of importance looked for almost any day. The Castle Dale eonqiany broke the stem from its fourteen-inch drill and a repair job is being conducted in Price. The Carter people out in San Rafael have just gut going again after breaking a second walking beam. The Ute Petroleum hae made no recent announcement aa to its doings over at Dueheene, but word conies that a well has been started, presumably by the iartiea on the Clyde Early permit in See. 13, Twp. 4 South, Range 6 West. The Big Six at Moab is again drilling, and the gas pressure at this well is increasing. Western Empire Petroleum roruiration spudded in a well on the Coalville structure last Wednesday. This well is about forty miles east from Salt Lake City and only a mile and a half out of Coalville. Twenty Mile Oil company has resumed drilling near Myton, lieing now down shout twelve hundred feet, and expecting to tap the oil sands in about another hundred feet. The asphalt seeps at the northern end of Great Salt Lake are 1 REV.CHARLES G.BROWN IS BEING SENT TO PRICE BUT THREE CHANGES MADE BY THE METHODISTS. Rev. Ralph C.

It is developing more as time goes on that this field is many nneouuted difficulties which are hindering ojierations beyond any looked for extent. Distance from supply bases, which was about the only factur given any consideration by the general public and which it was figured would be so easily overcome by the ample sufficiency of liehind the comiianies engaged in the oiierations, has latterly seemed to be about the least of several more serious problems, among which may be mentioned the lack of water, a abundance of water, accidents of various kinds to tha machinery which were difficult or even imiiossible of repair without sending the iartfl s long distance and looking back over tha last ninety days and taking present conditions into consideration a condition giving even more apprehension has developed. Out at the Ohio companys Huntington well there has been conducted a wonderful fight to get uist a string of tools lost in the well after a long attempt to fish them out. This trouble was the result of a friable condition in the formation, the caving in or splintering of the rock through which' the drill was passing having wedged the tools so firmly that it could not ba removed. Now comes the word that down at Caineville after having reached a depth of about hundred feet the same twenty-si- x will have to handle matters romjiany very carefully on account of this very same caving tendency. On the Farnham Dome. Although working in an entirely different formation than any of the other wells in this vicinity, the Utah Oil Kefining company on the Farnhum dome has encountered the same difficulty, and is now engaged in reaming out the hole as far as drilled several hundred feet changing the sice from fifteen inches to twenty to give them a better working leverage in that it will allow more reductions in the sice of the casing should repeated difficulties ensue from this cause. Operations were proceeding nicely, and no particular difficulty ensuing, hut merely to be safe and increase the working latitude this procedure was considered timely right at the lieginning. Another thing that is hindering ths field operations just now is .the severe and unusual flood conditions that hare struck all over the fields in Eastern and Southeastern Utah. This is especially true of the country down farther south, the conditions along the roads leading to Caineville and Circle Cliffs being almost beyond description owing to washouts. .Expressing himself as wondering that so much has so litbeen accomplished rather-thatle, O. J. Grimes, aiiecial eorreapond-en- t for the Salt take Tribune, writes of a trip just made into the Southern fields ana says: Great Walls of Water. Carefully our automobile nosed among the hummocks at the base of the magnificent wall seeking a cleft in the mighty rampart through which it might j a as. Into what appeared no more than an indenture it went, and started over a tortuous trail through Capitol Wash, a narrow gash oftentimes scarcely more than the width of the ear. With a deafening roar came great wall of water from the flanks of Boulder Mountains, seeking, too, an outlet through the reef and once more the paths of the raincloud and the motor car converged. High uion a massive sandstone ledge the car and its occupants found safety, but little comfort. In an hour the flood had passed, but the path it left no longer was a path for motor travel. Sand and gravel were removed from the narrow points in the canyon and deposited as quicksands in the more oien spaces and in their stead there w?re great boulders from the upper reaches of the watershed. The occupants of the cur slept on the motor cushions in the iqien that night, and when daylight came picked their wav on foot among the lamldcrs to Notom, three miles nwav. From the farms on both sides of the reef men were summoned to make repairs to the fire miles of road through the wash, and by the aid of teams t lie. motor car emerged from the eastern Nirtal three days later. It was interesting to learn thut the flood which marooned the motorists was the twelfth in fourteen days and the nmt damaging of any in live years. tut its record was not lasting. Three more of equal violence and rejiorted during the week. With such difficulties begetting those traveling light, it can be imag- ire-seati- ra-it- - 1 al again attracting attention, aud two eonquiniet are operating up there looking into the MMwibilitiea of oil in that connection.

President Clay has ordered all drilling stopied on new wella. Producing wells are to lie capped as soon aa jmssible, as all available storage has lieen completely filled. Apparently the company will thus have retired from all production until crude oil prices improve. This date is believed to be still some distance ahead, judging by the corajianys drastic action. It is declared that the oil can lie more cheaply stored in the ground than through the erection of additional tankage.
