They can make it almost valueless to you. Also
in that permit would be a selection clause. Another danger in your seismic work,
is that a company will take a picture and it is common knowledge that these oil
companies are always trying to scout each other so sometimes a company will go
into an area and shoot it and will very conveniently allow a doctored picture
to slip out of their office and into the hands of their competitor. So they
will say “It does not look too good to us and we are not going to drill it”,
and so they are trying to get their competitor out of that area and probably
get their lease for little or nothing. So that is why I say you should have a
man on the seismograph crews at all times so that cannot happen. Of course,
there are a lot of other things you have to look out for. As I say, we have
been over the reservation. We have seen what can be done, what the problem is,
about what it is going to take to solve it and have more or less arrived at
what we think should be done and would like, or in other words, want, to make a
proposition to the tribe to work with them to put the reservation on a sound
financial basis.
