Other driling is now in progress in Colfax The log of the Eureka wells shows the red beds absent and the sand in which the drill has penetrated to a depth of one foot is called the second Pennsylvania This news of finding oil at Raton is of immense interest to the section around Des Moines and It has been established by recent surveys that a well defined dome exists at Des Moines and that anywhere between the Cimarron river on the north down to Des Moines is good drilling territory with less depth to drill than else in the The completion of the Raton well will be watched with The absence of the redbeds at Raton is significant also when compared with the Pasamonte In the Pasamonte county the redbeds are found at a depth of about 500 feet which indicates oil in that section will be much deeper than at The at Pasamonte indicates oil but whether it is so deep that it will pay will have to be The leasing of an acreage near Guy is practically completed and the drilling of a well there will be watched with and if oil is found it will not he but a question of days until an oil is on at Des It is here for someone and the fellow that gets lin on the ground floor will reap a harvest as It is undoubtedly a shallow I YOU'LL NOT GO FAR B If you follow the plan of spending as you g you will not go very and the ing will not be very g | It is not all from selfish motives that | your banker is prompted to advise you to i of helps build up a strong but your savings also help A community of saving peo pie who have money in the is always a prosperous You profit more than we do by keeping an account at our STATE BANK OF DES MOINES John L.
