There Is thie eon intern however, which may havs been tsste-- s alble for tho rumor; tine of tbo tm working around the rig drained lubricating oil from the engine and poured an it on tho pump as a nr eel net some of his acquaintances Apporeottt It worked. By this 1 do not mean that oil Is not a possibility In tha park Va i region, but certainly the announcement of a discovery waa premature, a-- aeie. t,f Pe Utah Asphalt Rig Is Coming. - Tho Utah Asphalt company and the Leonora Mining company are making preparations for drilling campaigns In the asphalt region at tha north end of the lake, near Rosel, but actual drilling by either has not been begun aa yet. The Utah Asphalt company la expecting Its the next week. The Leonora rig within1300-fohas Its pier practioally a rig on the ground and a on Tho Utah Flotatho way rotary tion Oil 4k Asphalt company atopped work on the shore well at a depth of about 400 feet without having reached the asphalt. It la possible that work will be resumed soon, but no definite announce ment has been made as yet by the man agement. Recently K. C. Heald. head of tho oil geo department of the United Stales logical survey, made a hurried visit to the Rose, district. He remained in the field only one day. but It Is understood that ho found conditions decidedly Inter estlng and may send a party Into the district to mako a more detailed study of the situation. In connection with the activities SI the geological survey In Utah It la Into know that ona party has teresting spent most of tho summer studying the Uircle Cliffs field Tha assignment of the party waa tho study of Oarfield and Kane counties, but because of the oil activity In tha Circle Cliffs region the first work done was In that area. The was to have been comreconnaisance at Circle Cliffs about September pleted 1 and the information is to be compiled ss quickly as possible In the hope that a bulletin can be Issued on the field early In the winter. It is probable that other fields will be covered In a similar manner, and bulletins covering each Issued aa quickly as conditions will permit. When the work In the two coun-tio- s Is completed It Is Intended to Include all the information collected In a professional paper. corn-plate- d, ot ar Drilling Under Difficulties. Interrupted lines of communication to the Circle Cliffs field offers no obstecles to rumors. Street gossip tor several day past has had oil in the Ohio well at Circle Cliffs In quantities varying from a mere showing to 600 burrels dally production. AH of u wish that any one of the rumors were true. Information of apparently authentic character, however. Is a little disappointing. The most recent from the camp, and the report Is report hours old, scarcely more than forty-eigta that drilling is being carried on intermittently and under difficulties because sharp formationa are playing havoc with the cables. The Information Indicates that the hole ia down something more than 2400 feet. Setting of the six and a quarter-inc- h casing atCalnevllle apparently has not solved all tho troubles at tho well. The bottom of the hole, at a depth of more than 2600 feet. Is in a cavy formation. The Water pressure has taken advantage of the loose material In the bottom of the well, and proceeded to plug the about as fast as It could be drilled out. pipe To overcome the situation the six and eight-inc- h casings are being pulled and tho eight-inc- h string Is to be cemented In. This operation probably will mean about a months delay to drillirg activities, as about three weeks will be required for the cement to set after It has beer, put down. At the Huntington well of the Ohio the crew Is fighting another cave. This time, h however, the tools are free and casing Is being set to relieve tho situation. The hole Is understood to be down more than 2100 feet. ht Reclamation Smite Chief Will B Ashed Opinion IrfifttUn fostihihtits. on sumf tiiews p &. 4- 44 4 I fdhav" w-- .' t. a - se.4 H 1 ( c n M - v - - iM!

(Advertisement.) atx-inc- Morgan county residents will pay about $19,000 more in taxes this year than they did a year ago, according to a report of the eounty auditor to the state board of equalization ambto Mark Tuttle, state auditor. The amount this year levied is totaled at SU0, 103.88, as compared with $110,918.43 a year ago. This comes in spita of an assessed valuation that has shrunken by about $180,000, and also in spita of a road tax this year, as compared with three mills levied last year, Y Tha achoola are the beneficiariei of the increase, it is indicated by the report. They will get about $9300 more from the atate than they did last year, and in addition get the benefit of a increase in tha eounty school levy, The argument presented in favor of the constitutional amendment which increase the state levy, to the effect that the payment of $25 per capita of school population, instead of the previous $14 per capita, did not mean increasing the taxes, has not worked out in Morgan county, where' the state school rate was increased from 2.4 to 4.5 mills and the county levy from 6 to 8 mills. Tbe net increase In Mortaves for school purposes gan county is therefore close to 50 per cent. Morgan county will contribute this year to the state for state and state school purposes a total of $38,796 05, as against $29,142.45, according to the levy. For purely state administrative purpose, of eourse, the levy is 2.2 mill, instesd of 2.4 mills of last year, and this means a considerable reduction, when the assessed' valuation reduction For imalso is taken into account. provement and maintenance of state roads ia Morgan the rate of one mill this year will produce $5734.69, as compared with $17,529.43 a year ago from a 3 mill levy. While there is some confusion in ths report, where the school levy has apparently been added to the eounty levy this year, it appears that the total for eounty purposes this year is 4.1 mills, as compared with 6.1 mills a year ago. The state bounty tax is reduced from $712.53 to $166.01. Millard county has been able to reduce its aggregate tax payments from $404,314.30, last year, to $391,524.96 this year; but again, in spite of the heavily increased state aid, the district school levy has been increased, from 7.2 mills to 7.9 mills. The countys total assessed valuation is $18,612,476 this year, compared with $19,343,477 a year ago. The state road tax levy was increased from one mill, yielding to 1.3 mills, yielding $24,196.05. The eounty levy has been reduced from 4.2 mills to 3.9 mills, though the revenues from this fund are not segregated in the eounty auditors report or yesterday. The total for state and state school purposes this year is $127,789.19, as compared with $96,421.23 last year, and for state bounty taxes $2,929.53 this year, as against $34,711.64 a year ago. Daggett eounty shows a total decrease of 29.05 per cent in assessed valuation thi vear as compared with last, from $716,740 to $508,122. In spite of an increased state school rate, therefore, Daggett countys levy for state and state school purposes is $3505.48 this year, as compared with $3593.49 a year ago, an actual reduction in the contribution. Daggett last year contributed a rate, or $2155.34, for imof state provement and maintenance roads. This year the levy was eut in half, and the tax with the lower valuation reduced to $762.06. Daggett county, however, may prevail on the state road commission to help the county out to the extent of $2000 from the state road commission a suspense fund. The state may thus furnish for Daggett county roads approximately three times thj amount the citizens are willing to contribute themselves. While Daggett's schools will benefit by the increase of $11 per capita of school population in the states grant, the county school rate has been eut from 10.5 mills to 6.5 mills. The total of taxes levied in Daggett this year for all purposes is $10,364.44, as compared with $17,986.95 a year ago. one-mi- ll ' neter-thelee- X two-mi- i I With the work of harvesting the beets from Utah and Idaho f'elds a too lit to begin tomorrow in many sections, requests for men to do the work have been made on Salt Lake post No 2 of the American Legion, and already Adjutant Henrv F Crittenden ha signed up a number of former service men now uncinnloi el.
