He Indicated that residents can be bilked out of a great deal of money and receive little In return by dealing with these people. These people are traveling through the country In hordes, In most cases they are very and work Just aggravatlve under the law to make the sher. riffs work Ineffective," Hyde explained. "THERE IS NO LAW THAT will protect people for doing poor business, nor should there be, A person should be wise enough If he wants his roof fixed or his cesspool cleaned or his stove fixed to hire good, bonlflde people to do the same," he added. to the "sharp, the sheriff explained that 30 or 40 years ago they came through dressed In Gypsy fashion In wagons with teams. "NOW THEY ARE MORE traveling in half-totrucks, living In nlcely.built Referring sters," A "gold mine" of thick as. phalt substance lies beneath the earths surface in the Rozel Point area of Box Elder county. Its there for the taking. But how to make the earth yield Its gummy treasure, thats the question now being probed by a pair of optimistic men from California and Texas. Lending a hand In the effort, the Utah Oil and Gas Conser. vatlon commission last week allowed an exception to the normal spacing require, ment for drilling. This will permit Harry Beverly Hills, Calif., lease holder, and Charles E. King, Wichita Fall, Tex., oil man to work the area more ef. flclently. By its action, the comm gave the two men right to drill a number of wells on a five-acr- e tract around a first well sunk last summer. Contacted Monday In Salt Lake City, King told the Box Elder News that more wells will be drilled "within the next week or two. Object of the drilling effort Is to retrieve the asphalt pe troleum crude oil In qualities sufficient to make the opera, tlon profitable. This Is not as easy as many unsuccessful oil men have discovered. the first as Reportedly phalt seepages were found at Rozel point as early as 1861, Since that time the region has been the location for many drilling ventures but always without mo-der- mobile homes.

"Its going to take a lot of time and playing with, you might say, to get an economic production method. Right now It Isnt economically feasible," King stated. To this end, the oil and gas commissions action may be the key. King said the new wells will be drilled In close proxim lty to the first one. Heat being used In each well may tend to warm up the entire subteranean area and thus aid production. Consistency of the asphalltc material was described as rang lng from the tlckness of molas ses on a warm summer day to a solid that can be chopped with an ax In freezing weather. King said the substance has a variety of uses Including Its asphalt base In the paving as a paint additive and In the oil lubricant field. Reportedly it takes more than 70 degrees of heat even to soften the crude and approximately 160 degrees to first produce some form of dripping. King said that Reginald has been working In the area since 1956 and that he (KiA'g) now will add his knowledge of oil field drilling to the effort.
