I assigned to Royal Resources, Denver. This NEi sec. 4 -32N-81 W was a patented Oil Placer Claim. �BESSEMER - WYOMING TERRITORY - CARBON COUNTY Bessemer was undoubtedly named because of the red color of surrounding, or nearby hills, supposedly containing and colored by iron. Sir Henry Bessemer invented the process of makihS steel from cast iron, (bessemer process). The Wyoming Improvement Company, of Fillmore County, Nebraska (see town of Shikley, as a Shickley was president of company) named it. See "There’s History in Barbed Wire" page 28, in Histotorlcal Section of Casper Star-Tribune, 49th Annual edition, March 19, 1967. The land, the NEi of Section 4, Township 32 North, Range 81 West of 6th Brlnclpal Meridian, was located as an Oil Placer Claim, the only method then in use for acquiring potential oil producing rights, and later patented by the 3 claimants (names on record but not copied by me). Lots were sold and a very small village was built, in which my father, Walter A. "Doc" Blackmore, ("Doc" fpr D. because he was a pharmacist) built a drugstore building from native logs and lumber, (with a leanto shed for residence) and operated it - sometimes trading medicines to Indians for clubs, moccasins, etc. which are now in the State Museum, in Douglas - until a re-survey of the proposed railroad was changed to build it some 12 miles to the northeast. The town was then abandoned and Blackmore went to work as a ranch hand (he knew nothing of livestock or ranching) and later tore doun the building and used the material to build a house on Lot 18, Block 5 in the town of Casper. He lived becoming rancher, business in Casper until his death ®n April 20, 1923, mayor, an important businessman, real estate owner builder of several houses, 2 apartment houses, buildings, etc After Blackmore went broke - along with other Bessemer residents - he also contracted to do the annual assessment work for others on the many oil placer claims around the country. An expenditure of $100.00 per claim per year was required to validate such claims, and recording in county records notices of such work. In my files is a photograph of a well being drilled for oil in NEi NEt NWi 4-32-31 by Charles Peterson in 1388. The only person identifiable is W A Blackmore, driving his buckboard and team of buggy-mulesi shown in foreground. He apparently was proud of the mules as he mentioned them to me several Bob Blackmore June 1973 Balings from the well are still visible today.! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
