I ( POWDER RIVER GEOLOGY I (a) U. S. C4eological Survey Bulletin No. 471, 1910, Carroll Wegemann, contains: "The ' area under consideration" (Powder River Dome), "in townships 40, 41, 42 north, range 81 west, and portions in adjoining townships," "Tho whole structure is a duplicate of the anticline at Salt Creek." Note At the time of this report there was no production from Salt Creek. At the present time a production estimated at -30,090 barrels per day is coming from Salt Creek. ' (b) Petroleum series, Bulletin No. 4,' University of Wyoming,. April, 1901, by the late Wilbur C. Knight: "This field" (Powder River Dome) "must be considered one of the best ' in Wyoming. The structural features are ideal." (c) Geological report, June 16, 1917, J.-W. Hudson, California Geologist, contained: "I consider the Great Powder River Dome a perfect structure, enjoying the advantages of shallow territory, inexpensive drilling, fine natural physical conditions. 1 can see no reason rea-son why the dome should not develop into a very prolific oil field." (d) Geological report, July 16,. 1916, by Dr. Howard Evans Elliott: "I consider the Tisdale Dome" (local name for Powder River Dome) "the most perfect structure and worthy ! of development. There is not a single record of failure in Wyoming where a perfect dome j structure has been drilled with proper geological conditions existing as they do upon this ! structure." (e) Bulletin No. 12, State Geologist of Wyoming, L. W. Trumbull, contains: "Up to the present time every structure drilled" (in Wyoming) "has proved to be a reservoir." I' OFFICERS The President, Colonel Sam Newhouse of Salt Lake City. Colonel Newhouse is a figure of international prominence in financial affairs pertaining pertain-ing to western empire building. Some of the large and profitable mining and developing ventures in the west have been conceived and carried to a successful conclusion by Colonel '" Newhouse and his associates. . The Consulting Field Manager, Sid Keoughan. Mr. Keoughan has probably enjoyed more success in directing the drilling of Wyoming oil wells than any other oil well contractor. He has broken records in drilling wells both for speed and low cost. ' The Counsel. .Hon. Fred Hammon, Casper; Hon. A. J. Weber,. Salt Lake City; Hon. W. IT. King, U. S. senate, we are informed constitute the attorneys who will act as counsel for the company. PURPOSES OF THE COMPANY I It is the aim of the .company to develop the maximum of oil production from the ex- -,: tensive oil lands now owned or later acquired on the great Powder River Dome, in the state of Wyoming, and extend operations from time to time as deemed progressive and ad- -.' visable, and for these purposes the proceeds from tlie sale of the present treasury stock of-i of-i fered will be used. ' DRILLING OPERATIONS We are informed the company is planning the immediate drilling of wells, sites for ' j which are now being selected .by the operating and geological heads. We anticipate the Casper-Embar Petroleum Company will shortly rank anions the'heaviest drillers in tlie field. '.' We furthermore expect wells will be drilled in record time and at minimum cost. v LISTING OF STOCK !
