The 12 approved applications were submitted by Weaver Oil and Gas Cor poration of Houston. Texas, who now has leases on 23,206 acres 4f fewest land oil companies will begin drilling, accor ding to Olson. He said the companies have merely leased the land to begin seismic explorations in the mountains for areas which might contain oil or natural gas. The results of seismic tests will have to be evaluated, and in the event oil or gas is discovered, further evaluations regarding environmental impact will be made with public participation, Olson said. However, oil company represen tatives have said they do not expect ex ploration will begin in Madison or other areas of western North Carolina im mediately. One company official has said seismic exploration may not be In addition to Weaver Oil and Gas Corp., Amoco Production Co. and Atlantic-Richfield Oil Co. have been granted several leases by the Bureau of Land Management. Oil companies began seeking the leases after 1979 when the U.S. Geological Survey announced that the crystalline rock that makes up the Ap palachian Mountains was actually overthrust, meaning that the crystalline formations were thrust over sedimentary rock. Oil and natural gas deposits are sometime* found in sedimentary rock formations Olson said the oil companies applied to the U.S. Department of Interior which serves as the agency for ml resources When forest lands be involved, the U.S. Forest Service had to be consulted, Ik said. ?S held tiesr to allow Renee Norton, Marlious Dale Osborne Jr..

The National Forest Service is "working full speed ahead" to purchase 444 acres surrounding Max Patch Mountain located in the western part of the county for inclusion in the Pisgah National Forest, according to George Olson, supervisor of the National Forest Service in North Carolina. Olson said Friday the Forest Service acquired the option to buy the land on April 19 and that the option is valid until Sept. 19. "Five months is a short time in which to complete a transaction of this kind, but we're working full speed ahead to buy the property," he said. The Forest Service has negotiated to buy the property, which is adjacent to the present route of the Appalachian Trail, for $1,275 per acre from James Anders, a developer now living in Colum bia, S.C. Anders presented a proposal to the county planning board earlier this year seeking the board's recommendation regarding developing the Max Patch area into an exclusive residential resort. The board made no formal recommenda tion and requested that Anders submit a more detailed proposal at a future date. Several county residents voiced opposition to developing the mountain at the planning board meeting, including Joe Huff, a Marshall attorney, and Arch Nichols, a spokesman for the Ap palachian Trail Conference. Huff, responding to the Forest Service's deci sion to pursue purchasing the land, said, "We're tickled to death. It will belong to all the people for all time. It's our outstanding mountain in this county." Olson said the purchase would be "an outstan ding acquisition for the public," and said the Forest Service wants to re-route the Appalachian Trail over the top of the mountain. The trail is cur rently routed along a dirt road around the base of the mountain. At $1,275 per acre, the Forest Service will spend over $566,000 for the land. Huff said he thinks the money spent for the land is reasonable considering the natural and scenic value of the mountain. "I feel it's worth more than that over the life of this republic. I don't object to Anders making money at all, but I did object to seeing outlanders' houses up there," he said. Six Communities In WNC ContgMl A total of 90 organized com munities in 17 counties (six in Madison County) and the Cherokee Indian Reservation have entered the 1983 Western North Carolina Community Development contest, accor ding to Morris L.
