Show IN THE EMERY OIL FIELDS. Manti people who are interested in the Oil City Oil company claims in Emery county, will be pleased to read the following extract from the Price Advocate: "With the arrival of a car load of casing from the East a few days ago work was resumed re-sumed at the well of the Oil City company near Desert Switch on the line of the Rio Grande Western east of Woodside. The affairs af-fairs of the company locally are in charge of Driller Phillips, whom it is said has orders to go from where work was lately commenced until a well is brought in, which is confidently expected by all concerned before a depth of 3500 feet is reached. The machinery at the well is capable of this depth. Before work was temporarily suspended there a short time since, two oil sands and a small flow of oil were encountered at about three hundred and at eight hundred feet, respectively. The third sand is apt to be run into at any time. The water in the well is now cased off." |
