Notices of location of about 6000 acres of oil land lying between Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake were filed with the County Recorder on Tuesday. The locations were by Charles Ziegler, on behalf of the Labor Exchange. The locators are John South, J. A.De Valley, Chris Hicks, Ed Wannebo, John Sawyer, J. S. Ebert, Maud L. Hicks and W. M. Civish. The ground is said to be on a valuable deposit of petroleum and other hydrocarbons in solid, liquid or gaseous form and upon a bed of clay, gravel, sand, gold and other mineral deposits. The promoters of the company prospected the field and found many evidences of oil. Mr. Wannebo, the president of the company Bays the intention is to develop the ground and to sell locations. ! : ' I ) . , . . i: 4 I ' k ' Another oil strike has been made near this city. This last one was found by William Zabriskle some years ago, but nothing was done with it until recently, when it was thought best to locate it. Accordingly Mr. Zabrlskie and sons, with some other gentlemen, located 2000 acres of land covering the prospect and all adjacent territory. According to report, this discovery is the best pne that has yet been made in this vicinity. It is located about seven miles from this city in a northwesterly direction, and consists of a number of small surface openings from which pure oil oozes out as water does from a swamp spring. The oil has been flowing from these openings for years, and has dried and partially evaporated until there is enough of it, in a hardened condition, on the surface different springs to fill a wagon box. Several samples have been brought to town and are on exhibition. The owners will attempt development on a small scale in order to learn, if possible, without going to great expense, just what their oil well amounts to.
