Two ot the teds being made by tin: Southern-MidweUtah are now si unusually interesting stages and either or both may develop commercial gus or oil production almoit any day. The Frank Shafer No, 1 at Cane Creek, south of Moah, which creaied all the excitement a year ago, Mill leads in interest.

The latest discovery, where the hole is now bottomed, has not been subjected to a te.-- t because of a fishing job, which should he cleared up in a few days. The J. II. Khafer No. 1 on Shafer dome, eight miles down the Colorado river from Cane Creek, encountered a heavy gas flow at a depth of 3550 feet about a month ago and since has been tied up with a finliiug job which has just been clean'd up. Drilling fdmuhl be resinned within the next few days. At both tests the holes have been kept full of mini to control gas pressure. More Going Down. The showings at ('line Creek have been deemed sufficiently significant to warrant preparations for continuance of fifteen other test holes iu the Southeastern corner of the state. Two of these are at Cane Crock, one at Isickhart, three near Moah, four at Indian Creek, one at Klk Ridge, one near Montieello ami three in the San Junn district. Probably the moat significant of all is the Klk Ridge test, which is genernllv conceded to be the effort of the greatest kind in history.. The structure includes about 80,9110 acres and is controlled by the Utah Oil Refining company. On the invitation of President John C. Howard of the Utah Oil Refining, about twenty companies, and among which are some of the biggest operators in the West, have joined in the exploration.

Crescent-Eagl- e atill is trying to complete the hole on which it has been working for several years. Western States and Crescent Dome companies have suspended operations temporarily, and the Armstrong company is putting down a deep test with a eombination rotary and core machine to test for potash and oil or gas. Between Crescent and Cisco the Crystal Carbon company has Required the holdings of the Utah Oil Refining and is drilling for gas to supply a carbon black plant which is to he erected in that vicinity. At Price the Price River Petroleum is drilling at a depth of about 1830 feet. The operations at Crescent, Cisco, Price and Boulder Knoll are to test Cretaceous horizons and all others in the southeast are in the Pennsylvanian series. In the extreme northeastern corner of the state the Producers and Refiners corporation is continuing its test in Clay Basin, having now attained a depth of about 5500 feet, the deepest drilling yet accomplished in the state. At Coalville the Powers interests resumed operations late in the fall, continuing the original hole to a depth of about 3500 feet, and shnt down for the winter. The Leonora and Lakeside companies still are working near Rozel, at the north end of Great Salt Lake, with no new developments of note. The Diamond Oil company has worked constantly at its test in Diamond Fork canyon, near Thistle, and is now down about 2050 feet. Others Undertaken. Three tests in new districts west of the Wasnteh mountains were started during the year. The Beaver Valley Oil company undertook a deep test near Black Rock in Beaver county, and has attained a depth of better than 2000 feet. The Tower Petroleum company recently started a hole almost within the city limits of Salt Lake City, near the intersection of Highland Drive and Thirty-Thir- d South street, and is down 350 feet. The third new district is the Bloomington dome, near St. George, hut only a limited drpth has been attained.
