Show i Development of Oil Fields E I i iI In III Big Bg i Horn Basin t tIT I r Ir T has been a little over oer a year ear since IT I oil was struck In tho Big DIg Horn Ba Bl Basin Basin sin sh In northern Wyoming In that 1 1 i i o u several companies have secured 50 ur d I i holdings and aro are pushing the tho devel development development of o the tho field as rapidly as possible POSSIble It ble bic The Tho discovery was made as a result of o drilling near a n seep where l the ilic escaping gas melted snow as fast ast 1 ns us it fell tell I II The Tho oil occurs In three distinct anti anticlines I clines located at Garland Byron Dron and 1 Cowley Only the tho Garland anticline has been prospected and already six I producers have been brought In Tho Th r strike of or these

they are aro as J deep as feet reet Tho The J 1 i best beat wells welli have b been en found to bo be in the thed 1 deepest d pest sands There Is Ie more of ot tho the oil produced than there Is of or the paraffin t Hence the tho latter oil commands a n high higher er price and has a readier market es especially especially on account of or Its refining qualities 11 1 flies HIe The Big Hig Horn Oil has a n paraffin paro d fin base and carries 34 per cent gas gasoline gasoline g oline and with 43 per cent of ot otI I the Illuminating oils and 21 per cent c nt of ot the lubricants It has hos a n

Dry y Pack professor of or geology at the tho state stat school of or mines shows two other othel oil sands at lower horizons At Cody Cod and at Gray Gra Bull Dull oil has been encountered in the sand that corresponds to the tre t e I second sand san In this field It has been the tho history In oil oll fields that the second and third sands Tie are re remore more productive than the first Al AI Already Already ready a refinery refiner has boon been constructed construct t r to care cure for tar the output of oC the tile first sands Bands 1 and Is In operation Expert opinion is I 4 that the great volume of oil will bo be found in the time deeper sands and the th operators In the field are arc working In that direction Tho The Con Oil Co Las has ordered machinery 4 und and Is planning an
