It 8 provided also that Secretary Work may accept any bid which, in his judg- ment, is most advantageous to the government and he reserves the right to reject any or all bids. The recent success of the interior department in selling the royalty oll from the Salt Creek field at mi{d-con- tinent prices has prompted Secretary Work to adopt a similar policy in con- nection with the other oll fields on government lands within Wyoming Based on the 10,000 barrels of royalty o!l which the government was receiv- ing at the time of the Salt Creek con- tract, {t is estimated additional reve- nue of $5,584,500 will be obtained to be divided among the reclamation service, the state of Wyoming, and the federal treasury, as a direct result of selling the royalty oll at mid-continent prices. The proposed sale of other govern- ment royalty of] in Wyoming will be o* interest to all western states as 52% per cent of the revenue received will be aliotted to the reclamation service for use on projects in the west, and 37% per cent will be turned over to the state of Wyoming, the remain- ing 10 per cent going Into the federal treasury. .
