New York, Aug. 15. Silver opened with an upward tendency today and moved to 1.131. Lead was stationary at $4.50 per hundred. ' The Oil Fields. The Utah Oil company who are tapping tap-ping the banks of the (ireen river with excellent prospects of eventually recovering recov-ering a steady flow have temporarily suspended work owing to the absence of water. Mr. Croxford, the rigraan who has been adjusting the apparatus, is in the city and reports the work just started when tho lack of water forced them to a recess. Ho regards tho prospect pros-pect as exceedingly favorable, however, and believes that oil will be found at a depth of between 1000 and 1200 feet. Mr. G. W. Kellogg, the driver who, whilo moving tho machinery, sustained an accident that has since given him much annoyance, states that an order was yesterday issued for the construe-1 tion of a high board fence about the claim, while a tent will be placed over the machinery. This will render the work of tho company and the results from day to day quite seclusive and the public will be admitted to what the management deems consistent with the best interests of the project. A large number of persons are looking forward to results and it is probable that a number of similar projects will be in .operation before the season expires. |
