Oil Field North
Of Chadron May
Yet Be Developed
Chadron Chronicle. Since the aban
donment of this field by Ebcn D. 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."
