Lease Bids on former Sioux Depot leases delayed
A Cheyenne BLM spokesman said no bid date has been set for oil leases on the former Sioux Army Depot north of Sidney. Bid openings were cancelled amid interagency disputes over who disposes of the depot minerals, leaving 23 bids and checks tied up for 1590 acres. Industry bidders fear breach of contract and accruing interest if funds remain blocked. They allege good faith bidding and promised BLM authority. The Wednesday report of an opening date proved unfounded.
