...continent-hopping wildcatter of the past. Partner Trees died in 1943; his nephew Paul Benedum and half a dozen lieutenants run the empire he built. But from Miami Beach's Roney Plaza Hotel, where he spends each winter, and Pittsburgh's exclusive Duquesne Club, where he recently rebuilt an elevator to take him directly to his fifth-floor suite, he keeps tab on every well. Besides Ohio, Wyoming and Texas, Benedum's wildcatters are exploring 750,000 acres in Colombia, also have 450,000 acres in Guatemala, and are dickering with a French oil company to help...
