COMING TO A POINT.

A newspaper devoted to the il terests
Of a community, which is at all times
willing to do whatsoever it can for the
upbuildingjof that community, some
times strikes fire without knowing of it
at the ii time.
The agitation that The Sentinel has
kept up, on the belief that there was oil
in the valley, will be the means OF secur-
ing compssent parties to drill for oil at
three different places between Fruita
and Palisade
On the / lthy bay of May, j. E. Whit
son, president of the Colorado & Cali
fornia OIL company, ard John Stuky
came to this cit. and in a very quiet way
began operations to secure land under
lease for the purpose of boring for oil.
They placed their business in the
hands OF Messrs Golf & Gatewood and
that enterprising and rustling firm be-
gan work at once to secure the land. Up
to Tuesday night June 18th that firm
had secured 100 acres of land. Yester-
day Mr.. Goff himself secured seventeen
contracts for land near Palisades.
Messrs. Goff & Gatewood informed a
Sentinel reporter this afternoon, that
their contract with the Colorado & Cal
ifornia OIL company was that Just as
soon as one thousand acres of land was
secured under lease that they would ship
their machinery to this city to begin
drilling for oil.
Mr.. Goff stated that it is proposed a
we'll shall be drilled near Palisades, one
north OF this city and another west Of
the city, all to be drilled at the same
time
j. E. Whitson is not only the presi-
dent of this company, but as resident
of California he has large oil interests
there. He is a man thoroughly expert
enced in the oil business and knows what
he is doing in exploring for oil.
Messrs Gotf & Gatewood hive gone

and as they have now about secured the
land originally contracted for. they feel
that no harm can be done in letting the
public know what has been doing in an
endeavor to secure some one to make
drilling The company OF which MIR.
Whitson is the president is the owner OF
the three oil drilling outfits in Routt
county and they believe from general
indications in this valley that there is
Just as much hope OF securing paying
wells here as there is in Routt county
This company does not ask for dol
lar in money; it doesn ask money to
secure the freight on its well drilling
apparatus; no bonuses Of any kind what
ever; only the land in lease form, so that
if oil should be struck they will have the
protection OF their leases, but which will
return to the owners OF the land under
lease larger percentage Of returns than
could be made in lifetime f.om purely
agricultural pursuits.
Asked at about what time the people
could expect to see we'll drilling opera
tions, Mr.. Goff stated that he felt sure
that the drills would be in operation by
September 1st Of this year
The Sentinel feels that no harm can
come from constantly keeping before the
outside public the fact that gas in guam
titles was found in this valley several
years ago, which gave every indication
OF bringing oil, had explorations been
extended a little further. 1t feels that
it has been the means Of attracting the
attention Of people to the possibilities of
this valley as an oil field, and it shall
continue to keep the matter we'll before
the public, so long as there is hope of
having the matter thoroughly investi
gated
Messrs Golf & Gatewood have handled
the matter for their clients in a thor
oughly up to date manner and they de
serve much credit for having secured
land sufficient to satisfy the only demand
made by this company to come here and
explore for oil

RUMoRs ABOUT EDWARD.

London, Oct 1.-The coincidence of the announcement of King Edwards indispo. sition with the publication of revived rumors regarding cancer in the newspa- pers of Copenhagen. from which city His Majesty has just returned and where se- crets of the British court are more likely to leak out than elsewhere, Is causing some commotion here, and the fact that the customary court circular does not ap- near in this mornings papers adds to the uneasy feeling, which is not allayed by the explanation of the Kings indispqsi- Maiesty's physician. Sir Francisc is in no way a specialist. and is paying merely a social visit at Balmoral.
 A story is in circulation among the clubs, purporting to come from titled member of the late Queen Victoria household. giving color to the cancer story and saying that court circles arc discussing the possibility of no corona tion taking place next year.
