Wyoming collects 2800 dollars daily from oil and mineral leases. Royalties total about 120 dollars per hour and 2 dollars per minute as development expands. With over two million acres statewide and only a few wells drilled, future revenue could fund public schools and long term state growth.
The state’s first month report from the Midwest Fetining company contract shows Salt Creek field wells producing about 62 000 barrels monthly. At 1 50 per barrel the state’s one third share equals roughly 31 000 monthly with expectations to rise to over 40 000 monthly within six months, near 300 a day.
Former service members with major amputations or loss of sight can have vocational training applications acted on within 24 hours under a new policy from the federal board for vocational education. Traveling field representatives will clear most cases locally, with Washington handling only longer than two year courses, and amputations or eye loss placed in a special processing class.
The bulletin states that tuberculosis cases are handled with specific disability percentages and timeframes. Arrested TB cases are 26 percent disabled for two years. War Risk Insurance allows 6 months at full percent and 10 percent for the next eighteen months. The policy supports hospital and medical treatment for affected men.
The Wyoming Hide & Fur Co. received a telegram early in the week reporting a small advance in hides and a decline in pelts. The message indicates a fluctuation in commodity prices affecting local trade.
