The Southern Oil Belt-Operators are
now seeking for the apparently lost oil
belt, traces Of which are not at any great
distance from Elk City. Many Of the
practical ones think it will be found to
run south of Clarion. Good reasons
exist why the belt runs in that direction

directions have been tested, and only
dry holes met with. The southern direc-
ton remains yet 10 be tested Unsuccessful
this belt would open up a large extent Of
new territory, Of which our town would
be the centre. Mclaughlin 4 Co, who
drilled the well recently finished near

sonable show, they will have another
