Yesterday marked the end of a weeks long emption on Elkhorn Oil stock offered to Abe Steinberg of New York City. Steinberg proposed 50 cents per share for a million shares and tendered 250000 dollars, with balance to be paid later, but no word followed.

The failed negotiation suggests the lease tied interest may shift as a new operation was expected to start next week.
