THE OMAHA DAILY HEE: MONDAY, JANUARY 10. 1003.
I'liTtllr express the opinion that some
conservative trust measure will be pesed
during the present session, but alt recog
nize the difficulty of (freeing on a measure
fleeting such vast IntTeetu and Involving
uch important principles.
There la also a promlrc of debate on Sen
ator Vest'a coal truat legislation. It mat
expected the Mil removing the duty on
anthracite coal would prevent further dis
cussion, but tome republican aenatora have
Indicated a deilrc to reply to the remark
of Messrs. Vest and Tillman and If they
adhere to their decision, a pretty sharp
larlff debate, not unmixed with reference
to the trust , may be precipitated at any
time. If It la sprung thla discussion will
have to take place during the morning

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. "

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.

CHINAMEN WILL NOT BE ADMITTED
Colonial Secretary gaya It Would lie
Treasonable for Him to "aaaest
nrlnnlnst lellow Men to
l.nhnr In Mines.
JOHANNESBURG, Jau. IS. 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. Ho said such bargaining
would have been almost treasonable on his
part. He went at loi.ie length Into the
labor question, saying there was plenty of
labor If the Kaffir could be made to work,
glnrery Stopped In Theory.
"In theory we have stopped slavery," ho
added, "but many philanthropists at home
would be surprised to hear that we ari
encouraging It in another and worse form,
the Kaffir's idea being to buy wives f
keep him In idleness. The black race Is ;
increasing with great rapidity and unless '
It can be settled In a regular Industry it
will prove a danger and a difficulty."
Mr. Chamberlain urged the desirability
of increasing the white element in the colo-
nles and said they wanted more brains and j
less muscle. With this In view he advo
cated the establishment of a university
which would be superior to anything In the
world. He opposed any Importation of labor j
until all the resources lor developing avail- I
able labor had been exhausted, and sug- 1
gestea tnat me subject be considered by a 1
royal commission.
Finally he announced that Lord Mllner j
bad agre.-d to call a conference of the
South African colonies to consider matters
of common Interest, Including tie question
of native administration and legislation.
Papers Praise ftnsTnrest loni;,
LONDON, an. 19. Great relief is felt '.
here that everything posis.blo Is being dsnc j
to avoid the Introduction of Chinese labor
Into the South African colonies.
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.
