 After Oil In Yuma
 YUMA-"Scotty'' Gorden and Oscar IZapf are more than pleased with the reception they have received in the Yuma valley with their oil leasing proposition. Over 5000 acres of Yuma valley land have been signed up for the syndicate and less than that amount is now needed to actually guarantee drilling operations. Hardly a day passes except some farmer calls at Yuma for the purpose of signing lease. while each days work in the field by MT. Gordon and MT. ZaDf are resulting in many more acres. Under , the terms of the oil lease which is be- ing signed one eighth royalty of all oil found is guaranteed to the land own CTS The entire acreage is formed into a syndicate and the members of the syndicate are to receive a share of the dividends in proportion to their land holdings. It is expected the work of securing 10000 acres will be complet- ed within the next few weeks and then it will be only a matter of days until drilling operations begin.-Morning Sun.
