Show SIX ROZEL WELLS SHOWING OIL Manager Rldeout states thnt his Mid Wesl company has receive interesting in-teresting communications from tho California pcoplo to whom they contracted con-tracted for two deep test wolls on the proven structuro In tho big oil and asphalt field south of Rozel and west of Promontory in Great Salt Lake. Mr. Rldeout says ho expects tho extension of tho pier out to the drilling dril-ling slto will bo started In December, and that the work will bo pushed a-head a-head Just as rapidly as weather will permit, so that tho actual drilling can bo commenced. It is also stated that construction will be begun on a refinery re-finery at Locomotive Springs in the very near fuluro, Thla refinery will be equipped to handle- the heavy oil of the Rpzel district, and will glvo a markctTor all companies now drilling dril-ling the'ro and expecting to drill thcro With this contract work undor way, tho Mid Woat company will then complete Us organization and begin an activo campaign for funds both to complete tho gas well north of Salt Lake City now down approximately approxi-mately 700 feet and to start the other oth-er machine drilling in the Rcfeel field. Whllo the Mid West officials declaro they will draw a nico royalty from the California syndicate on all oil produced, yet they aro anxious to get their own wells producing. There havo been six wells drilled now In this structure out In tho lake and not one of them failed to get oil, most of them at less than 200 feet, It Is stated. Tho Mid West company controls 2,560 acres In this field, all ot It contiguous and bordering the leases on which tho six wells wero drilled, consequently it is only reasonable rea-sonable to believe tho Mid West holds as good acreage as there Is In tho Hold. It looks yet as If Utah's big oil boom' will get tho big start in Salt Lako Valley whero thero aro hundreds of oil nnd gns seeps to cn-courngo cn-courngo drilling operations, Is the prediction. |
