|0|l INDUSTRY INJURED

(Melstone Wessenger.)


A great many land owners. not only
near Nelstone, but in al parts Of the
state. are being "buncoed" into leas-
ing their land: to some company or an
other, (cf which there are now hum
dreds in the state) on any Of various
pretexts. in the hope that their land
will be tested out and oil found there
on.
The oil game carries with It more
public leeches. disreputable crooks and
all-arcund bunco men than any other
endeavor we know OF outside of actual
oil industry for both the actual oil man
and the land owner.

some stated or indefinite time. the
lease does not carry such q provision.
Of them are fiy-by-night concerns that
could scarcely fnance the drilling CT
a post hole, much less an oil well. a
thousand or more feet deep. How many
be led astray by them Is miracle to
US. Their purpose is to get the lease
and then peddle it or speculate on 1t

land value as an Gil proposition. but
