Reported by Joe Allard deputy internal revenue, a Liberty Oil Company well in the Spring Valley field, about 35 miles south of Kemmerer, struck oil at 1175 feet. Initial flow around 50 barrels per day with hopes of reaching 200, while other shallow and deep wells in the district contribute 300 to 500 barrels monthly to Salt Lake City refineries. Nearby Fort Bridger and Heaton shale prospects promise richer yields as regional geology suggests feeder structures along Meridian anticlines and Lazert syncline extending toward Bridger country.
