Pierre, May 14.-Oil development
appears to be a growing idea in this
state at the present time, the activity
in that direction being widespread.
The Potter county boosters say they
have all but a few hundred acres OF
the leases required by the indianapolis
firm. which has agreed to prospect in
that vicinity as soon as the requiied
acreage is secured, and also an as.
surance of the company that it will
begin work promptly after the leases
are signed. The project at Pierre,
backed by Pittsburgh, people, is in
practically the same position. Nearly
all the leases have been secured, and as
coon as they are all cleared up assur-
ance of work is given. At Murdo. Ly
man county, the people are becoming
excited over oil. The oil supply on
the water from an artisan we'll has
been increasing as the we'll goes deep
er, and the people of that section are
becoming somewhat excited over the
prospect. AT Ardmore, in the extreme
southwest corner of the state, a 81
