This is due largely to the fact that tney nave been successful in securing leases in some of the most promising structure in thp oil reerion. Only recently through a peculiar turn of fortune, they secured a lease on the famous Warm Springs Dome which would be enough in itself to make the company wealthy.. This field holds the distinction of being the only prc?ucing field to be "brought in" during 1917 in Wyoming. Since | that time nine producing wells have' been completed and several score of companies are starting their operations there this .spring. The doling in this field is very inexpensive since the average well is only sunk to a depth of 900 feet. In addition to this only about 90 feet of casing are required in each well and the most expensive feature of the oil well drilling is eliminated. The Clark Fork Co., controls the oil situation in the Clark Fork .'jmc, in that they have practically all of the available oil land under lease. This structure is perfect 'as a container for oil and the drilling depth P Suffer? II u^/ Airs. J. A. Cox, of AI- f/j [/ derson, \V. Va., writes: JrOI "My daughter . ? . suffered terribly.
