Show 2- Big Interests Watching Wyoming New Oil Fields Are Promising Two or More Domes in One Field OILMEN in a!I parts of the country are closely watching developments develop-ments in four Wyoming districts each of which is the center of rreat activity and in each of which the pioneer well has dis-. dis-. hSm fh existence of oil in commercial quantities, These are In ths order of their apparent Importance, Import-ance, tha lance Creek or Luak field, Big Band Draw field.

One well In the district Is capable of producln line barrels a day; two are practically en Hip uf tin Mod ""d analhar Is ra. ported to bs making some oil In connection con-nection with a heavy gas flow. According Ac-cording to C. H.

Th oil from th field ranks with that of 8alt Creek. Owing to ths shallow natur of th drilling, this field should be developed with great rapadlty and Its product should b marketed within th next elx months. Klrby Crek, east of Thermopolls, Is the latest find of Importance lu Wyoming Wyo-ming and th shallowest field In th entire stat. Th pioneer well waa drilled by th Ohio Oil company, th Mi "wildcat Tganlsatlua of the Htandard Oil group, and It cam In at S feet with a flow of asvnty-flvs barrels , natural. This oil Is of ths same grads as that found In Grass Creek. Ths Ohio company haa sines completed another well with about th same production aa th first and now drilling eight otlsr. William J.
