the oil from the spring valley field proves more wonderful every day for some weeks it has been burned by the big contractors on the aspen tunnel kilpatrick bros collins in ordinary coal oil lamps and gives better satisfaction is than refined petroleum used with an ordinary wick and burner it gives a strong steady smokeless flame of great illuminating power and unlike any crude oil ever heretofore discovered leaves absolutely no residue in the oil chamber after having been used every night for over a week the lamps were almost as clean as when the new oil was first introduced the odor is not unusually strong and experts assert that if the present grade which is being obtained continues in the wells the oil will supplant as far as the supply will allow the petroleum now in use as the results obtained are fully as satisfactory and the cost of what refining will have to be done very slight that this grade of oil will also be found in the vicinity of the carter and hilliard billiard wells is the opinion of those who have made a study of the conditions in these localities |
