'MAY TRY FOR
OIL iN SOUTHERN
PART OF STAT
Oklahoma Company Eas in Kind
$15,000 Regard Offered by an
Old Act of Legislature.
A drilling company at Bartlesville,
Qkla., is seriously considering the
drilling of test wells for oil 'in south
ern Nebraska, according to letters
written by its secretary to Secretary
cf State Amsberry. T. B. Higgius,
secretary of the company, is trying
to induce 'the secretary cf state to
make some concessions in regard to
(terms upon which the state of. Ne
braska offers a reward of $15,000 for
the discovery of oil. Mr. Amsberry
has informed him what the law says
and states thai he cannot change the
law. If the company will discover oil
in Nebraska no difficulty is looked
for over the payment of a sta'te re
ward, but the discoverer must wait
for the legislature to appropriate the
necessary S15.000 for that purpose
Tha law provides that the well in
which oil is found must produce hi
ty fcrrls a day for sixty consecu
itive days.
The Oklahoma company desires to
know df an average cf fifty barrels
for sixty days will comply with the
law. He fears there might be acci
dents or break of machinery that
would Eitop the outpour of oil for
sixtv days in a row. The law aiso
refers to nump.'ng of oil. The Okla
homa company is worried for fear it
might strike a gusher or flowing
well of oil and somebody would try
to stop payment of the state reward
because the oil produced was not ac-
tuallv Dumped.
The tact is, says the secretary of
F-tate. Nebraska is not used 'to pay
! 5ng rewards for the discovery of oil
In fact it has never paid such a re
! ward because no one ever claimed to
be entitled to it. The law is subject
to construction ty the governor,
who is to be j'tdge of the location
and quantity. The law does not say
that the oil shall be found upon Ne
braska territory. It is also silent as
to the location cf coal or gas discov
eries for which a state reward is off
i fered.
