According to nfnrmatnm received

as recently passed by the senate, pro

corporation, may go upon the public
domain not otherwise appropriated
and >take J.'.hO acres of oil land. Tin*
party or corporation must then apply

he may acquire a lease on the re

In ease the land was located for >d
under the placer law .and prior to tie
withdrawal act of ItMJD. and provided
not less than $2“>0 has been expend 'd
on each claim in development, a td
provided the said Claimants relii
tpii-h their rights to tlu* United Sta *s
government within six months from
the pas-age of this law, the said
claimants willbe entitled to take five
leases of l.260 acres each, if they
have been holding that much, and
pay a royalty therefor of per cent.
It will thus he seen that where
claims were staked under the old
law and th*- assessment work proper

1 In* hill n> passed by the Senate
seems to also provide that a person
or corporation may acquire three
2.~d>0-aice prospecting permits, pro
vided each o'* these permits is upon
‘seperate and distinct geological for
mations’' whatever that may mean.
A different law, the provisions of
which are n«»t known here, has been
introduced in tin* house. and up
to date has not been reported. And
unless the house adopts the senate
bill as a whole, which is not likely
the matter will have to go to con
ference. This will no doubt take
some tirrn*.
As matters now stand, it does no
one any ^ood to stake ground .be
cause* up to the present there is no
law. It is, however, not a bad idea
for interested persons to look the
ground over and see what they might
care to stake* in e*ve*nt the law iloes
