OIL EXCITEMENT KEEPS IP Outriders (bming in u H'p On. the Excitement la Chadroa. DISTRICT LARGER THAN F.RST SUPPOSED One Company Has Its Derrick Is and Ready to Brain Boring Mining? Kxperts Cora In a; In to Prospect the Conntry. CHADRON. Neb., Jan. 18 (Special.) The rush for oil mining claims still con tinues. Every available piece of land hai now been filed on within an area ot eight een miles square. Including everything lying north ot Chadron as far aa tho Dakota line. Thla district waa at first supposed to represent the confines of the oil belt, but geologists now cn the field contend that while the xone or fold which contalna the oil deposit extends through this county northeast and southwest, has for Its gen eral direction southeast and northwest, and that the cropplngs known In the govern ment surveys as tho Niobrara and Black Hills outcrops are but the continuation ot thla same anticline and that the Fort Ben ton and Niobrara abale, which cover this immediate district, are found at intervals from the Niobrara river on the south to the Black Hills on' the north. If this is found to be true, there need be no rush for claims, as there will be plenty for all. The first company on the field has Ita derricks up and are busy putting engine, boilers and other machinery In place and will be ready to begin boring by the 20th of this month. Several parties have gone to Omaha and Chicago aa representatives of oil com panies to buy machinery, which will be shipped here and put In operation as soon as possible. Two mining experts, supposed to be em ployed by the railroad company, ace pros pecting west of town near the railroad right-of-way. Old wells In that locality have been examined with the result that oil covers the water and some of them are so full of gas that when a lighted match is dropped Into one of them the gaa Ignites and blazes up for a few moment aa from a gaa Jet. Beside the local companies that are being formed here every day by the business and professional men of Chadron many eastern people are here filing on claims and organizing companlea. ' A Council Bluffs, la., company which was organized some time ago Is, from reports, expected here soon to commence boring. The company is composed of Victor B. Bender, Clarence Austin, Arthur Pfckerlng, Arthur H. Warner, Arthur L. Sanford, W. H. Copson, F. W. Beckman and George H. Carter. A. W. S. Rothermel, clothed with tho power of attorney, haa been here ani made filings for the following Omaha parties: Amos Merchant, Freedom H. Whlttaker, Nelson and George W. Updike, Hugh T. Fellers, Harley McCardel and Elmer A. Cope. The contention for claims has gone on In a friendly way without malice or trouble until one day this week, when cattle man found his enfriendly neighbor in hla choicest meadow land staking out oil claims. A tragedy was narrowly averted by the fleetness of foot on the part of the unfriendly neighbor. " TOWN OF YUTAN PROSPERING Large Amount ot Building: Waa Don Daring? tho Year Just Ended.

LEASING BILL NOT WANTED Chnpprll Mnn ICaprcsea Ills Opinion of. How to IJulld I p elrfUn, CHAPPELL, Neb., Jan. 18. To the Editor of The Bee: While Vending nn OnO.t pnper some time ago I found what pur ported to be a resolution from the Com mercial club of Omaha Indorsing the fenc ing in of tho public lands of Nebraska. Thli surely must be an error, as T always thought this club was established for the purpose of advancing the interests of Omaha and Nebraska. Do the members of that or ganization know what they are doing when they advocate such a law? A large part of western Nebraska is an agricultural coun try and thousands of acres of land are still vacant, waiting for the settler to tickle the land with the plow and produce crops. Last year the farmers and small stockmen on this very Identical land raised from ten to twenty bushels of wheat and from twenty five to alxty bushels of corn per acre. Now, thla Is not fiction, but facta that can be learned from the railroad agenta who have billed hundreds of cars from their various statlona In Deuel, Cheyenne, Kimball and Scotts Bluff countiea. That such landa should be withdrawn from the actual settler and given for ten years to the cattle barons la out of lb question. In the first place no revenue would be derived to keep up the Bchools, the roads or tho county government, e.n 1 It is h well known fact that the cattlemen pay a smaller percentage of taxes than any other class of business outside of the rail road companies, whoso ability for tax shirk ing Is too well known. Then It would re tard Immigration and Instead of a well settled state the population of western Nebraska would be about five people to every township. Your Commercial club muet be composed of lawyers and railroad agents, as suiely no business men cf the great city of Omaha would father such a scheme. Omaha Jobbers and manufacturing Industries aro supported by the merchants of the smaller towns of the state, and It is a well known fact In this part of the state that many of the large cattle companies purchase all their supplies In Chicago. Now, I understand our representatives In congress got together a ftw days ago and p greed upon a bill, this bill to be sub mitted to the state legislature for Its action and if favorable to be aent back to Wash ington and then passed by congress. The bill ought not to receive one vote In tho affirmative, and any member of our legis lature who votes for It should be run out of the atate. The cattle barons will Infest the state house lu large numbers, but the mem bers must beware of them. The law con templates the leasing of twenty sections of land to each cattleman, but does not hin der his uncles, aunts, cousins and even the poor dog from leasing twenty sections at a nominal price of about 2 cents per acre. Think of It! A whole section of 640 actes of land to be leased at a rental of $12.80 a year! , Some years ago a club was-started' !n Nebraska, the title of which wae the "Ne braska club,", whose main object was to bring people to the state and. Increase -the population at least 50 per cent. ' Millions ot circulars were sent all over the east de scribing the great advantages of Nebraska, ikt beautiful climate, agricultural resources and irrigation opportunities. The results have been highly beneficial. Then why doea thta celebrated Commercial club of tho metropol's of the state Indorse something which will have a greater influence in re tarding the progress of the western half of Nebraska than ary calamity which might befall our people? Let our watchword be, "Stand up for Nebraska," and do not per mit anybody to Indorse a bill whose ob jects are not only mercenary hut nefarious to a large degree. CHARLES K. MULLEN.

Speaking her on the South African labor problem, Mr. j Chamberlalu warmly repudiated the rumors that there had been many bargainings for Imperial consent to the introduction of Chinese labor.

The comment In the papers this morning cn Mr. Chamberlain's Johannesburg speech shows that It is regarded as one of his most, brilllnnt efforts, breathing the best hopes for prosperity and the tranquility of the new coloniea. Mr. Chamberlaln'a references to the labcr problem have been construed as indicating Ms desire for measures cither to restrain Kaffir polygamy or for a system of taxat'ot to compel the natives to work by placing a heavy Impost on every additional wife. In Johannesburg the Idea haa been mooted that the $150,000,000 war contribution might be spent in building new warships. This suggestion does not meet with much ap proval in London, where It Is thought the contribution ought to be applied to the re lief of taxation.
