GENERAL OIL CORPORATION
SECURE GAS AND OIL LEASES
IN VICINITY OF THIS CITY

General Oil Corporation, North
Dakota Company, with headquarters
in Minot, report having closed nego-
tiations which have been pending in
volving one or two especially attract
i've oil and gas structures considered
by the company to be Of immense
value.
These are located but short dis
lance from the city, and the gas, it
lis believed, which is known to exist
lin large quantities, can be readily
'plped into Minot. 1t is the opinion of
the management that the quantity of
gas in these structures, so close to
Minot, will be sufficient not only 70,
lighting the whole city, but for heat
ing purposes as well.
Steps will be taken Immediately
looking to the development of these
fields. Strong local interests are be
coming identified with the company
who now control many hundreds of
acres of promising leases in this field
together with valuable holdings in
the Montana oil fields. In Montana
the company's property was obtained
early in the year and since then a
large number of wells carrying from
1000 to 1000 barrels daily have been
brought in in that vicinity, proving
this to be oil territory.
Enough prospecting has been done
in the Minot field to remove any doubt
that has ever existed as to there be-
ing oil in this field. Taking advantage
Of the development already done both
at Des Laos and Mohall and of geo
logical survey, the log of these wells
point the way to the real oil pool and
it is expected that drilling for oil as
we'll as gas will be in active operation
within few short months, and Minot
can be looking forward to an exciting
oil boom in the spring.

banking business in Minneapolis, ar

Bankers Urge Treasurers to Leave
Money in Bank of North Dakota,

X. +. Barron, E. S. Person, M. r.
Porter and w. J. Gerding have return
ed from Mandan where they attended
a bank conference.
At the conference the question of
withdrawing county funds from the
Bank of North Dakota was consider
ed and the bankers recommend that
the county funds be left in the bank.
If the county money is withdrawn at
once, it will work untold hardships
on the smaller banks Of western North
Dakota, altho it will in no way effect
Minot banks. The Minot bankers are
of the opinion that the Bank of North
Dakota has used excellent judgment
in depositing its money among the
banks of the state, placing it where
it would do the most good. The
western counties, where the farmers
needed the most assistance, received
the larger part Of the deposits. It
is believed that the county treasurers
will heed the advice of the bankers.

something over $500 bushel to pro-

The article will prove interesting as
it will show us the way the folks down

Announcement was made that the
Glenburn State Bank Of which G. L.
Gould is the cashier, closed it's doors
Wednesday, on account Of it's reserve
being too low Two banks have been
doing business in Glenburn. The
fact that too much money was loaned
to the farmers, considering the pres
ent value Of farm stock and products,
and the light crops in the Glenburn
district for number of years, caus-
ed too low a reserve:
The Mohall State Bank closed it's
doors Wednesday. This bank had a
capital Of $4,000 and a year ago had
deposits of $630,000.
The Security State Bank, at Column
bus closed Wednesday. Most of the
banks that have closed are apt to
open again as soon as conditions war
rant. Only the smaller banks have
been closed to date. Eight North Da-
kota banks have closed during the
past two weeks on account of their low
reserve. Most Of the banks Of the
state are in excellent condition altho
it may be expected that several more
of the smaller institutions may have
to close for time until they can
increase their reserve. The deposit
