Show OIL IN THIS STATE. i ' Jbejfli Carlson, representing the Ogdcn-San Juan Oil company, the principil stockholders in. which are Charles Ziemer, Joseph Carlson, Carl-son, M. 8. Browning, Fred J. Kiesel and J. C. Nye, departs today for Bluff, Utah, with a carload of equipment, from which point he will make the drive of 175 miles to the San Juan oil fields in southeastern south-eastern Utah. Mr. Carlson will be accompanied by four Los Angeles An-geles capitalists. The Baa Juan field, in our opinion, is one of the few undeveloped undevel-oped oil regions of real merit. Too many of these oil excitements have been baaed, on a small seepage and the oleaginous tongues of nnscTupulous promoters. The Ogden men, are to prove up their 3,800 acres with a Cyclone rig. ' They expect to obtain oil in the first sands at a depth of 200 feet The encountering of oil is essential to the holding of oil lands. With a large field developed, San Juan might add greatly to the wealth of Utah and attract to this state some of the millions in wealth that are now going into oil. |
