known that the Government had in

panies attacking their claim to three
strip leases, totaling Col acres Of oil
land on the eastern end of the naval
oil reserve in California.
The payment brought to a close the

the Navy Department
$50, 200. 900 for Government.

that this payment brought the total
recovery of more than $4,000. 600 To
the Government from the Doheny
lease. in addition tn reclaimins title
to 10000 acres of oil land.
The new action is based on the
ground that the operation of the wells
on the strip leases might drain naval
wells on the reserve, and Roberts and
