Mr. McCiilmnnt is greatly sur prised that Bradford oil men have paid no more attention to the Wo-mi Kg Held than tlmy have.

He savs it is greatest opening for oil men in the United States. Those who have gone there have made money and he says there is lots more to be made.

Mr. George B. MoCulmont arrived in this oity Saturday from Casper, Wyoming, where ho is interested in the oil business. Mr. MeCalmonti left this city for Wyoming eight years ago in the interest of the Pennsylvania Oil He was the first man in the new field and knows it thoroughly.

Mr is in the oitv for the purpose of securing a complete drilling outfit aud a crew of competent drillers, as the Wyo ming Oil Pipe Line company, in which he is interested, drilling four new wells during tlie summer. Thev will also survey the way for a pipe line to be laid from the wells to the slipping station. The line will probably iet be laid until a later dale. Mr. McCnluiout expects to return in about four weeks.

Mr. Met a 1 un i ii stated to a Sdir reporter today that there are at pres ent eight wells in the entire belt, which extends from New Castle in the northeastern part of the state to Lander in the southwest. This belt is about 300 miles long and five miles wide and is known as the Salt Creek belt. The strip has not been drilled along its entire length, but there are surface indications of oil throughout. The oil obtained along this belt is the highest grade of lubricating oil ever found.

Mr. MeCalmont stated that for three months the Denver and Gulf railroad us-'d nothing but unrefined oil taken directly from the well. The lowest price that is received for Wyoming oil is $10 per barrel and the best refined sells for as hidi as S-d ner barrel. At present there are eight wells in the Salt Creek belt. These wells average each about 10 barrels per day.

There is no pipe line laid into the field as yet, and as it is located about 40 miles from the terminus of the Klkhorn railroad, trouble is experienced in conveying it to the shipping station. This is anci ra-plisdied by "string teams," whiff o. CITY TRANSFER CO. General Dray and We Charg-s Ho FjM Prices. Correct Selection.
