Show Black Rock Ranch No. 1 Wildcat Activities End The failure to find oil in the Black Rock Ranch No. 1 located near Black Rock, Utah, has caused caus-ed the El Capitan Oil Co. Inc. to suspend their wildcat operations in this area. This was the third well the company has drilled around ar-ound Black Rock this summer, each of them being a "duster" or dry hole. The first well which they dug was named the Walter James No. 1. and encountered burned oil and was abandoned. The econd hole was called the Taft Paxton No. 1, and found what has been called "an inexhaustible supply of water", wat-er", but no oil. The third well was the Black Rock Ranch No. 1. The Black Rock Ranch No. 1 was drilled one hundred feet due south of the well which Mr. Walter Wal-ter James et al. drilled during the middle 20's, but failed to encounter the expected horizon of oil. The company rig and drilling crews have not yet left this area, but are expected to return to Kansas Kan-sas in the immediate future. |
