A new company with a capital of $1,000,000 ha been formed at New castle, starting out with $250,000 cash In the treasury. Judge E. C. Raymond and T. V.

The company has 1200 acres of oil lands in Kansas and 20,000 acres in Wyoming. R. L. Welsh, general counsel for the American Petroleum institute, pr edicted last Thursday night at Pittsburgh that all the available pet roleum in the United States will he! exhausted in three years, "at the present rate of consumption, which is overlapping production by more than 50,000,000 barrels annually. Evidently Mr. Welsh has not kept in close touch with V e recent discover ies in eastern Wyoming, which i.s now drawing more attention than the southern iields iu Texas and Okalahoma.

Is inclined to be lenient with Wyom ing and Montana operators on ac count of the immense and growinc costs of development and the hattard of wlldcattlng In these states. An additional reason for leniency Is that heavy royalties on American pro duction are likely to lead Mexico and the South American republics which must be this country's source of pro duction In a few years to impose high charges. Mexico has exhibited a dis position to be harsh In its treatment of foreign operators and a similar tendency may reasonably be expected from the South American countries Reports from Washington state that there is a strong possibility that the department of the interior will reduce the maximum royalty on oil producced on the public domain from 25 per cent to not more than 20 per cent and that it may be fixed at a still lower figure.
