CORE DRILLING.
Terms on Which We Can Prospect fol
Coal in Audrain County-A Letter
from the State Geologist.

In answer to q letter written by the
editor of the LEDGER to the State
Geologist, asking what chance we had
to use portion Of the funds set apart
for core drilling in Audrain County,
We received the following reply, which
indicates that the State will bear one
half the expenses:
CITY OF JEFFERSON, December 16.-
DEAR SIR: / have lately returned
from tield work and found yeur letter
Of Novem ber 21st on fils. The board
of managers met last Tuesday and de-
cided that experimental core drilling,
on the part of the State, shall be linn
tied to four zones in North Missouri
for gas, petroleum and coal, and to
the Cambrain limestones of South
Missouri for disseminated lead and
copper ores.
The enclosed copy of letter to the
st. Louis mining World will give yen
some idea Of the difficulties with which
we have had to contend. The action
of the board has eliminated many Of
the difficulties, but some people are
still unwilling that we should proceed
free handed and do what we think
best for the State.
However, when 1t 10 fully under
stood that this departure is intended
to save a great waste Of energy in the
development of the State, the survey
will be vindicated.
Yours Truly,
JOHN A. GALLAHER.
The following is an extract from the
letter referred to In the above: "The
State Geologist will report to the
board OF managers ct the annual
meeting In December. The board will
then take up the subject of core drill
ing. In each locality selected special
survey will be made and the owners
of each spot or zone selected for drill
ing will be notified that the State il
willing to assume half the risk oi
demonstrating the existence of oil
gas, coal or metallic ores in paying
quantities. Then, If the owners are
ready to do business, arrangements
for core drilling viii proceed"

Ihave kept my weather-eye on this
cunning, thriving, unscrupulous and
avaricious old besst from the day of
his birth-nearly half q century ago
down to the present time and am
pretty well onto and thoroughly
familiar with his manner and way of
doing things.
Born OF fanaticism, envy and hate,
there was no good In him at the start,
and, as a natural consequence, none
could ever come out of him. He has
been boss, bully, thief and robber
all his life and has always stood ready
to steal anything in sight from pres
ident down to q South Sea island.
He has thrown mud on and snsered
at the grandest document that ever
emanated from the brain of mortal
mantle Declaration of Indepen-
dence-and he has repeatedly violated
and tramplsd the Constitution under
foot, which the immortal Webster ap-
pealed tc his countrymen to "clIng to
as the ship wrecked mariner clings to
the last plank when night and the
tempest closes around him."
But it now looks very much like
this villianous old beast is on his last
legs and that before another year
rolls around he will turn his heels ur
to the daieies and cross the divide
Marcus Hanna and his man, Bill Nc
Kinley, have overloaded the old
brute's stomach with too much indi.
gestibie grub and he is now suffering
from an acute attack OF indigestion
that bids fair to carry him Of in the
near future.
Arobbing and thriving tariff, single,
gold standard, trusts, combines, ,thriv-
ing corporations and imperialism, al
crowded down his throat together
were a little more than his poor oil
stomach could stand and 1t is M
wonder that he is about to throw NJ
the sponge and pass in his checks.
When he is safely put under ground
too dead to skin, a granite bowlder a
big as a young mountain ought to b'
rolled on top of him and something
like this, in blazing letters one hun
dred feet long, cut upon it:
