happenings in in such a way that the excitement may be kept at the usual high pitch and this week it seems that the task is the hardest yet We are convinced almost beyond a shadow of doubt that shallow wells like that on the farm of Amos Schind ler represent but a waste of the money expended but even then we have the satisfaction of knowing it was the direct cause of large capital being in terested in the Garden City field If we can come to the point of realizing satisfaction to the amount of $60 per share on the strength of that knowl edge then we suppose we are welcome to it Last week

Kans field were also here and have secured a few leases which they claim they will develop within the next few months Garden City is going to be a great oil center and it is up to every fel low owning
