PROSPECTING AND DEvEL-
MENT OF STATE LAND
FOB OIL AND GAS

The state board of land commission
ers, in the granting of oil and gas
leases upon state lands, has secured
and is receiving an extensive rental
revenue to the school fund, which is
in itself an important item of revenue,
but is and would be small amount
compared with the returns from one or
more producing oil and gas wells dis
covered upon state lands, from which
the royalty would be 121s% of gross
production, thereby benefiting the
state school fund to the enormous ex-
tent as has been done in the state Of
Wyoming during its recent oil produc-
ing period.
While Colorado has been and is now
in the midst of its oil and gas pros
pecting and development period, the
state board Of land commissioners has
at all times had in view the possible
advent Of producing well or wells on
or adjacent to state school land, the
revenue results Of which would be in
calculable.
With this ultimate object in view,
every possible encouragement has been
offered to the states oil lessees; lib
cral concessions granted, allowing
large areas to be leased and attached
to wells during the time continuous
drilling development in test wells was
in progress; and many other favorable
Inducements which are offered in the
state's oil and gas lease contract.
Therefore, the state board Of land
commissioners, through its "mineral
department, has encouraged and been
instrumental in bringing about the fol-
lowing development and revenue re-
suits:
As high as 2ss.457 acres have boon
under oil leases, from which rental
revenue Of over 100000 has derived to
the school fund.
Thirty-s drilling rigs have been in
stalled and put in operation on and
adjacent to state land in the various
counties Of the state.
Approximately 4s,7se feet, or on
miles Of drilling has been performed
in these wells, and over 1,0so, 900 has
been expended and put in circulation
for labor, lumber, casing and other
necessary materiah in the progress Of
such drilling development.

the news of the world from which he
was once shut off. The telephone,
with its network of wires and its par
ty lines, has made the countryside
great whispering gallery in which no
neighborhood gossip can long remain
a secret. The automobile has short
ened all the long and weary roads that
once stretched their forbidding lengths
between farm homes and held their
ways to the far distant towns. The
phonograph has brought the entertain
ment of the worlds great artists into
the most humble rural homes.
Wonderful as these things are and
marvellous as are the changes they
have wrought in the conditions of life
in rural homes, the development of ra-
diophone communication holds in prom
Use still more wonderful and marvellous
things. The present high pitch Of pop
ular interest indicates that there will
be more than a million receiving sets
installed within the current year. The
slight cost of the apparatus and its re-
markable simplicity, 80 simple that
boy Of mechanical genius can build it
for himself, makes it certain that every
farm home will have its own receiving
set within the next few years. The
turning of tuning knob, the setting
of an index hand, and the listener may
pick from the vibrant ether such in
formation as he may desire. Reports
of the current markets are at his COM
mand, the news of the world, the time
of day, a lecture, or a musical program;
or with the magnavox he may trans
nit the sound into the room where all
the assembled family may enjoy the
program of entertainment.
Go to library and ask for book
on radio communication. You will find
that every book is out. Write to the
department Of agriculture at Washing
ton for information and you will be
told that the department is 80 swamped
with requests for information that it
is having prepared special bulletin to
tell the farm boy and his daddy how
to make their own receiving apparatus.
And will the radiophone do away
with the telephone, the telegraph, the
daily newspaper and the thousands Of
instrumentalities that are so useful TO-
day in distributing information among
the peoplef Not at all; the radiophone
will serve to increase the desire for
information, and the farmers homes
will be more anxious than ever TO get
the morning newspaper that they may
read more fully about the things Of
which they have gained an inkling
through the medium Of radio commun-
nication. The telephone did not do
away with the telegraph nor the mail

to have served to give greater impetus
to these services; neither do we antiei-
