Walter for consideration con-sideration of ways and means for developing de-veloping their holdings. There are 16 men interested in what they consider con-sider the best oil shale land in the state. Tests have shown an oil content con-tent of 75 gallons to the ton of much of this shale and it occurs in veins of from 100 to IZo feet thick. There Is a good wagou road to practically all of the property and the shale can be steam shoveled, which will make-tlie cokt of handling very small. There are many fine sites for erecting works to distill the oil and efforts to build a plant will probably be made. The meeting decided to turn over to J. C.
