LAND DECISION
ON GEBO DOME
IS IMPORTANT

THERMoPoLIs. wyo.. Dec. g.
The commissioner Of the general land
office has rendered n decision in the
case OF Cotner. ct al versus A. A Is
CriE. ct al, which involved a large
tract OF land in the Gebo oil structure.
The decision holds that 1sgrig ct al.

claimants of the land involved on DC.

been, in oder TO secure a permit I'M
der relief section number 10 OF the
leasing act OF February %, 1890. The
application of Isgrig is held for re-
lection with the right OF appeal to the
secretary OF the interior.
1t will DO remembered that the pas
sage OF the leasing bill caused a great
scramble among oil people and Gebo
dome, which has always been consid-
cred a very favorable field for pros
pecting. received Its share Of atten-
Sion. There were "a applications I'M
der what Is known as section 10 of the
act, in conflict with the application Of
Isgrig. Many OF h section l3 appli-
cants protested the allowance of the
Isgrig claim and in order that all con.
cerned could present their side of the
case, a hearing was held here on May
rs. before United States Commissioner
Thompson. Several such hearings
were held here during the past few
months, but this case was the most
largely attended an dof much greater
interest than the others combined.
Several days were consumed in taking
the testimony and there were about
twenty prominent attorneys from diff
ferent parts of the country actively
engaged in the case.
The Ohio on company is the one
mostly affected by the decision Of the
commissioner OF the general land Of

This year viii see production from

check on development caused by the
depression in crude oil prices Pro
duction from January l TO November

ocO barrels by December 81. The lat
ter figure on production compares
with a totnl of 17,517,ooo barrels IN
1920.
Based on these figures. Wyoming
and Montana will produce 4.Se per
cent OF the production of the United

the check to shipping during the
