Development Only Begun.

Leasing still goes merrily on in this
locality, Most OF the valley land along
the river where the developments
are being IUade has been picked up,
but spectators and prospectGrs ATE
now spreading out over the country
and securing the neighboring upland.
There is no special reason why the oil
and gas should he con tined to the riv-
er bottom aud recent Developments
are demonstrating that this theory Is
not correct.
Mr. 'Neil, west of town and the Big
Creek Company on the east have devel
oped the fact that gas, al least, IN great
abundance can he found outside of the
bottom. We think this locality has on
ly just begun to develop aud that in
all probability richer tiadS await the
future prospector than anv that have
been made. There are favorable midi
cations Of gas and oil in neighborhoods
away from the valley that have not
bCCD uD al 1'i'i VIC IOOh, III
the near future, for drilling operations
to widen out aud spread over this
whole prairie.
1t takes an immense amount Of mon.
ey to prospect and develop an oil and
gas field and we are glad to see so
many strong companies in the field
and so much money being brought in
from abroad But with all this there
is still room for much more and the
men that come in later may have to
spend more money in the start but
their net profits in the end are likely
to equal or exceed those of the original
companies.
We give short sketch, this week
