Just about a year from the begin- ning of drilling the well began to flow with every indication that when the lore goes somewhat deeper into the producing sand it will be an important producer. For the present drilling has been suspended, awaiting provision for taking the nil away. It ia doubtful if in all the history of the six hundred thousand wells tuat have jeen put down in this country, largely in regions difficult of access, any one has ever presented such a category of obstacles as this canyon one in Utah. How the oil will be transported to a refinery is still sheer guesswork, but a way will be found, for the ingenuity and resources of engineers have never failed.

Fuiyears wells have been drilling in various arts of the state fully two hundred in all at a cost of probably $5,000,000, and this eanyon one is the first real producer. It is only by dint of such persistence in coping wilh natural obstacles and financial hazards that the country's supply of oil is maintained. The first oil well in Western Pennsylvania became a producer at the depth and a half feet. Nowaof sixty-nin- e days those a mile deep are not uneom. mon and they have gone down as far as a mile and a half. Quite a large proportion of wells produce nothing whatever and represent total loss. It was recentlv estimated that in the last twelve and a half years $1 ,00.000,000 was sunk in those that were failures. Despite every effort of science, engineering an long experience, and notwithstanding the stupendous depths now reached, 25 per cent last year were dry. The wildcatter" is the Columbus of oi .
