Show OIL PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR EMERY COUNTY For months we have watched, with patient expectation, the progress of the oil developmen in the southern part of our county. Some people, tired at tho seemingly slow process, and gave up hope, but there others who have kept on hoping and will ever do so, until their hopes are realized. If there is oil just across the mountain in San Juan why not here? The lay of the country is in its favor and experts believe the project to be a good one. If this be true there will be little doubt as to the future for Emery county. New towns will be built and the population will be increased considerably and those j who dock here will not all be oil pro-j pro-j ject promoters but developers of our ! natural resources. The increase of pop-I pop-I ulation will mean a greater market for the products of the soil and the greater the demand, the greater will b3 the ! quantity produced. In this way we hope to reclaim the arid soil. Watch the Progress for a great sur-j sur-j prise in the near future. It's sure com- irg so watch for the "sign" yee wise i ones. The work is going on quietly in this ! development, the promoters not saying ' much about their findings, but from the rumors on foot they must not be very j discouraged for they have tied up all the ; lumber the southern mills can saw in j the next year and a half, j Mr. Dennis, who has had this work I in charge, recently went through with a number of engineers on th jir way to the oil fields and will u idoubtedly push the work. There is also a new company making j their way to the oil Holds and in the I near future will begin sinking wells under the direction of Mr. Turner and others. |
