Bradley, Formerly of Casper, Files Application for Lease on Famous Producing Sec- tion, Salt Creek Stating that he has priority rights, over all others, such rights being guar- anteed to prospectors by the new leas- ling Jaw, J. B. Bradley, a former resi- dent of Casper, has filed an application for an oil and gas lease on section 36 of the Salt Creek field, considered for years probably the most valuable piece of oil land in Wyoming. Application was filed with the United States land office recently at Douglas. His appli- cation for off and gas lease has been made under"the terms of the oil land leasing bill, ke states. Mr. Bradley would deprive .the state} of Wyoming of part or all of its lease | privileges on section 36 should the gov- ernment grant a lease to Mr. Bradley. But this hardly seems possible in view of the fact that by virtue of its act of admission, the state of Wyoming was allowed to ‘hold all of sections Nos, 16 and 36, provided they were not known mineral lands at the time of admission, July 10, 1890. Mr. Bradley's strongest point as The largest aggregate. amount of} filed upon under the provisions | of the leading law on any Wyomins| structure outside of Salt Creek was in Lance Creek in Niobrara county. Al together applications were filed in the Douglas land office for leases or per- mits ‘to drill on 11,260 acres in that] field. More than one application for} the same land was filed on only a few} minor tri s. The filings cover the en-| tire district, including the astern end. | stated in his petition is that he and others on or about April 18, 1890, took out a prospector’s lease on section 36 of the present Salt Creek field and that thereafter ‘he worked the tract for oil.
