Reports from the San Juan river area describe William Shaffer promoting an oil territory near Farmington New Mexico.

An initial well is budgeted at about 82000 with drilling depth around 1500 to 2000 feet, as the region is seen as a frontier area likely to gain attention with the Southern Pacific railway expansion.
