The Richards and SChoening oil
fields, in which our properties are

very favorably by DR. A. A.

lands in Wyoming are very val
liable. There is a well drilling
in Bates Dome adjoining your
land. Four to I'VE more COM
panies have contracted to drill
this spring adjacent to your
holdings in this field. There are
