Activity in Grant Oil Field.

In view of the late interest
developed in the Grant parish oil
field, and particularly the region
near Colfax, it is pertinent to
state that there are at present
eight assured locations and four
derricks up in this neighborhood.
Two wells are being bored, and
one of them is nearly completed.
Also ten or twelve other locations
are claimed. The leasing of
lands appears to be on the in
crease with prices ranging from
So to SIS per acre, according tc
locality. We understand that
in some favored localities So anG
$40 per acre is being offered,
while in a few desirable spots
parties are said to hold out fol
$40 per acre, and even as high a!
S25.
So the oil gamble is on. ant
we shall not be surprised at an!
extravagant things that may oc
cur. 1t has been that way il
: other localities and we may ex
pect the same thing here.
