Fulton, president of the W. city Fulton Petroleum and Carbon Dioxiee corporation, expreseed his appreciation of the cordial hospitality accord ed his company. This is the first well to be drilled exclusively dioxide in the world, he said. The corporation entered this territory at their own risk, using no local rands but being backed by wealthy business men in Seattle, Wash. Carbon dioxide wu discovered in the fifteenth century, he went on to explain. A few years ago this gas wu found in an almost pure state at the Farnham Dome, twelve miles ust of Price: Since that time the process of turning it into a solid state wu developed and its' possibilities in, rean explosive and the frigeration, many other uses were visualized Frank Goodwin, executive vies president, spoke on The Colossus of Refrigeration! ' He pointed out that the personnel of the company ara men who have large holdings and have developed many new industries. He also showed the benefit. of the discovery to Carbon county. The gas is continuous in production end is formed deep in the earth by water mixing with limestone. When the gas comes to the surface it is 114 degrees below aero. Milo P. Smith, vice president, who located the Farnham Dome structure, expressed his appreciation at the way hia company wu received and assured those present that they were men who were willing to risk a fortune in developing the possibilities of the gu. Arthur E. Gibson spoke of the early development of the structure and he pointed out tiie struggle of the companies who drilled the hole for oi only finding gas, gave up operations not realizing that this gu was the richest of its kind.
