THE TETON COUNTY ABSTRACT COMPANY Licensed Bonded Abstractors CHOTEAU, MONTANA 418,000 Acres on Indian Reserve Thrown Open to Oil Exploration CASPER-—Bids covering exploration rights on 418,000 acres of potential oil lands on the Wind River Indian reservation will be received at the agency office at Fort Washakie on May 11. Accord ing to Supt. Forrest Stone, the successful bidder will have the ex clusive opportunity to explore the area for oil structures and will have a preferential right to obtain a lease or leases on the lands, to drill for oil. The 418,000 acres are included in three tracts. A similar "exploration permit" was issued in June 1942, to the Gen eral Petroleum corporation, cover ing 250.000 acreä just north of and including part of the Riverton rec lamation project on the ceded por tion of the reservation. The cor poration paid a bonus of §20.000 for the permit and spent approxi mately $70,000 for exploration but did not exercise the ofltlon to se cure drilling leases before the ex piration of the permit June 20. 1943. None of the new offering includes the area explored by General Pe troleum, Stone said. Buy Bonds Oil Insurance Specialists New Low Rotes . . .
