Show OIL INDICATIONS EXCELLENT. The successive strikes of strong gas reservoirs underground by the drillers for oil in the Farmlngton fiats are certainly cer-tainly excellent indications for success. suc-cess.

Repeatedly have they been tapped, with the uniform result of powerful pow-erful outburst, great energy for a time, then decreasing flow and final stoppage. But the present company has heavier and more solid machinery, and is prepared pre-pared to go to greater depths than any concern that has ever before entered" the field. Ic may strike a fountain of gas deeper down, which will be more permanent than the supply hitherto found comparatively near the surface. That these gas pools are good indications indica-tions of the existence of oil below, is universally held. That they will prove so in this case, the men of skill and experience in charge of this drilling firmly believe. And The Tribune fervently fer-vently hopes that their anticipations may be abundantly borne out. So hopeful Is the outlook, that another an-other oil company has been incorporated, incorpor-ated, to operate near Kyune, where Indications In-dications are also favorable for the finding of- oil, the oil shale and oil springs being plentiful on the surface, with every indication of heavy deposits depos-its of oil underneath. The oil situation in Utah is much more promising now than ever before, and the prospects that oil in quantity will be made one of the leading products pro-ducts of the State were never before so good. |
