War ner and the Midwest Oil company after it was reported that the Big Chief was a flivver there has been much f-pecula-tion on the part of many here as to ju.-t what the conditions are as they exist. This paper is informed that private parties were in the country north of here the fore part of this week in an elTort to secure oil leases. It has not been learned with what degree of suc cess their efforts were attended. Rumor has also noted that a small strip of ground near the Slim Butte structure was recently purchased in fee by a large eastern oil syndicate. It might be stated that the leaving of the field by the oil men has not 'effort if these land owners are will caused the people of this community I ing to have their land tested, and if to have any less faith in the field and j they do want it tested to sign these that it will some day be a real oil field. Under date of February 11th, Eben D. Warner, trustee, addressed an open letter to his unit holders of the Warner holdings. Part of this letter is as fol lows: "The other thirty days I spent in try ing to convince our people and the people who would benefit the most that is the land owners if the oil came in, that I could accomplish this contract for the development of the Chadron field if they would renew their leases and in that" I could give them absolute protection in that if I failed to start two wells before July 1, that their ex tensions would be null and void there by proving to them if they wanted to sign that we did not wish to tie up their land but merely wanted to land this proposition. "Now I am willing to make one more extensions that I requested before. It won't hurt them any as their land won't be tied up longer than July 1, if we don't Ftart and there is no one else that wants to enter the field. Even when there was supposed to be oil in the Big Chief there was no responsible ompany that ever offered to drill a foot any place in that whole country, so that the land owner has nothing to lose and everything to win. "I have not Iofet faith in the pos sibilities of oil north of Chadron and if the land owners will permit us I will still use my best efTorts even to neglect ing my own business in order to try and complete the tests that we prom ised, namely, the completion of the well on the Jones structure and one well on the b'j structure to be a deep test to and through the Minnelusa sandstone which i3 the last possible oil horizon."
