OFFICIALS PLEASED Members of the executive committee and other stockholders of the Utah Consolidated Con-solidated Oil company made an inspection inspec-tion trip during the week, examining the company's holdings in Utah county, and particularly in the Spanish Fork and Diamond Dia-mond Fork canyons. In the party were Vice President Joseph T3. Keeler of Provo, Dr. John T. White of Salt Lake and B. B. Brooks of Ogden. members of the executive committee; also Petroleum Engineer D. H. Gustaveson and Field Superintendent R. S. Collett, J. W. Pike of Og-den and Fiscal Agent J. W. Musser. The trip was made by auto from Salt Lake, and considerable time was spent in making a careful inspection of the company's com-pany's properties, having in view more particularly the selection of the place at , which to begin drilling operations on the j company's No. 1 well. A definite se!ec- tlon, it is understood, will be made within a few days. The men were all optimistic from what they saw. as in several places on the ! company's property oil is actually being forced through the bedding planes of the cap ruck and is forming in pools in the I erosions occurring in the formations. "It would be impossible to conceive of oil being forced up through the structure and out of the very fine crevices of the cap rock in quantities we have witnessed," wit-nessed," said one of the members of the party, "without a tremendous body of oil existing somewhere in tiie vicinity." Field Superintendent R. S. Collett, who lias just returned from the company's holdings in the Uintah basin, reports that one of the large companies operating in the same field in winch the Utah Consolidated Consoli-dated -Oil company has its holdings has shipped in one drilling outfit capable of a 60o0-foot depth, and that part of this rig has arrived on the property, the balance bal-ance being expected to arrive soon. This company, it is understood, will begin j; drilling adjoining the property of the Utah '! Consolidated Oil company on its first deep well within a short time. Mr. Collett also reports that the extraction extrac-tion plant and refinery being built adjoining adjoin-ing the Utah Consolidated Oil company's holdings in the White River district" is progressing favorably. |
