1t is given out that Mr.. Covey
will recommend that several more

he bought next year and sold to the
Indians ON the re-imbnrshl plan,
which has worked out very satisfac-
torily during the past two years it

During the past few years q cam
paign of eradicating dourine among
horses owned by the Indians has
been carried on under the direction
of the U. S. Bureau Of Animal In

thousand mares and a large number
Of stations have been destroyed.
Mr.. Covey will recommend that
pure-bred stations of type that

bought, so that the Indians may
again build up their once great herd
of horses
In the matter of the sale of in
herited ana non-competent Indian
lands number of the sales made
from time to time have been reject

Exploration For Oil In
This Section Possibility
Story from Carson Press Regarding
Prospective Exploration for Oil
Recall, Recent Gas Find

The Carson Press has an article
in it's last issue calling attention to
the fact that there are indications
of oil in various places through
this section of the state. About a
year ago the Pioneer also had an
article along the same line, about
the time when natural gas was dis
covered at the St. Elizabeth school
north of Wakpala.
/ A well was sunk at the school
! and abundant gas found to light all
the buildings connected with the
school. If it has been utilized is
not known to the writer at this
time. There is also natural gas
across the river near Pollock.
1t is a matter Of safe speculation
to assert that oil will some day be
found in this locality. Wherever
coal is present and gas is found,
usually oil is also discovered.
| Exploration for oil is now under
way at Marmath, North Dakota,
about $50 miles west of here. So
far, as near as can be ascertained
no oil has been found but indica-
tions are promising.
The article from the Car son Press
follows:
1t is not the intention of The
Press to assert, positively, that oil
will be found in this locality, but
many things observed in the past
by early-day visitors to this part Of
North Dakota would lead to the
conclusion that oil will some day
be found in this immediate vicinity
and in many other parts of North
Dakota.
Many of the pioneer explorers
of these parts are reported as hav-
ing found oil indications along
Louise or Crystal Creek, and along
the Cannonball, and others of later
years have discovered strong eviden-
ces OF oil only short distance from
Carson.
1t is a well.know n fact that oil
lakes and oil pockets exist under
nearly the whole of Wyoming. and
it is an open secret that some of
these oil-fows of Wyoming extend
into North and South Drkota and
to Montana. The big oil compan-
les have full and accurate know
ledge of the oil possibilities of this
part of North Dakota, but the facts
have always been closely guarded.
| The fact that government geo.
logical survey charts show indica-
tions of oil or not, seems to make
no difference, as some of the largest
producing oil-wells Fin Wyoming
have been brought in points where
the survey charts failed to show
any indication of oil.
Invaribly, where coal Of any kind
is found, oil is not far distant, and,
as this neighborhood has coal in
plenty, why should there be any
doubts about oil eventually being
found here in abundance?
The Press gives it as its opinion
that the time will come when this
whole country sshereabouts will be
dotted with oil-derricks, bringing
from, mother-earth the fluid that
produces the light and heat of CON-
fort, also the builder of large bank
accounts.
