...Ohio Oil, the big U.S. oil companies swarmed over Polecat Bench. Last August Phillips Petroleum and Standard of Indiana's Stanolind paid the U.S. Government $1.407,500 for drilling rights on 262½acres of Federal land in Elk Basin-the highest price ever bid for the privilege of putting a drill bit into the ground.
