OIL In Cameron and
Hidalgo Counties.

Referring to the recent state
ment Of the Grnlla correspondent
of The HERALD that there is oil on
Padre island, the editor this morn
ing asked Judge ThoS- Carson, who
is probably better posted on the
resources of this region than any
other person, if he knew whether
there is any foundation for The re-
port, and whether he thought oil
could be found in paying quantities
IN this section
"Oil on Padrel'' exclaimed the
Judge, why you can't dig five feet
down there without finding oil.
That was proven by exports over
forty years ago Talk about your
Beaumont gushers! They will be
small potatoes compared to
the guShers that will be found IN
this section, when they commence
to bore for oil here. And not on
Iy in Cameron county, but in Hi
daIgo as well In my opinion,
there is not foot of ground in
that county where paying oil
well cannot be struck.
Starr and Zapate counties, he
also says, undoubtedly have rich
oil deposits. Without doubt, y
he concluded, "the emily thing
needed in Cameron county to make
it equal to the Beaumont region
in the production of oil is a few
men with nerve and capital to make
ii deep enough hole in the ground,
and they will BE- amply rewarded F"

Numerous labor controversies have been settled and the rate of wages is at the highest point ever attained Retail dstIi- button is of massive proportions with dealings in holiday goods the conspicuous feature.
