HAS OIL BEEN piScovERED7

1t is announced that Mr.. Albertus
Vogt, already famous as the discover.
er of handbook phosphate, has achiev-
ed yet greater laurels in the recent
discovery Of petroleum in the Withla-
coochee valley.
When phosphate was discovered in
this county in 1889 the editor of this
paper was even more of skeptic than
the doubling Thomas" in biblical
history.
The belief of friends, the handling
of the rock itself, nor any other signs,
would satisfy him.
He remained skeptic until tine
whole earth was gobbled up and the
prices of land lowered skyward.
He became a convert only in time
to bump the earth, and he bumped it
very hard.
He is now no longer skeptic. He
has faith in anything that concerns
Florida.
When it was announced that in adj
dition to the discovery of phosphate
rock, kaolin had been discovered, the
editor of the Ocala Banner believed it
undOubtingly, though at that time he
did not know what kaolin was.
Again, when it was announced that
Fuller's earth was discovered, he be-
lieved that also, and hunted the en-
cyclopedias to find out what it was.
Again, when cement was added to
our other discoveries, the editor of the
Ocala Banners faith did not forsake
him, and he believed without being
furnished with bill of particulars.
Now, when the discovery of oil is
announced-the greatest in the cata-
logue-shall the editor of the Ocala
Banner be a doubling Thomas" and |
call for evidences to prove his faith? |
Oil has been discovered in Beau
mont, Texas, and the geological for
nation of the country around Beau
mont and Florida is very similar, and
if oil is hidden beneath the soil of |
one, why not under the other?
1t is almost simultaneously an.
nounced that oil is discovered in CAL
houn county, on the Appalachicola
river, in the town of Appalachicola,
on the same river, in Franklin coun-
ty, and in the Withlacoochee valley. |
These accumulations of evidence,
it would seem, are enough to Justify !
ones faith in the belief of the truth |
of the discovery.
Scores here believe the discovery to |
be genuine and are securing the woods |
for surface indications, and are indus
triously securing options. Many of
these indications have been found and |
several analysises show the oil to be |
in evidence, and it is predicted with |
that the history of Beau
mont, Texas, will be repeated at our
very doors.

 Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the goth inst, we have submitted the point: in question to the attorney general and await his reply before answering them.
 Very respectfully yours, " ALDEN SOLMANS, Secretary
 'Hadlyme, Conn.,, July 8, 1901. "'C. F. Rowell, M. D., Stamford, Ct:
 Dear Sir: Replying to your inqui- ry of the 20th day of June concerning the question If the state furnishes fry or lingering trout to stock any stream or it's branches leased by club and held for the use of it's members and their friends, the general public not be- ing allowed to fish in the stream"
 j" 'The opinion of the attorney general is as follows:
 By the act approved June g. 1884, it is provided as follows:
 "' "No fish shall be furnished by the state for stocking any stream from which the taking of fish is prohibited by the owners or lessee" Acts of 1897, Chapter 219, Page 924,
 It will be seen that under this law, which remains in force until August 1, 1901, no fish can be furnished by the state for stocking any stream if the public is excluded from fishing in 1t! In other words, the right of the public to fish in stocked streams is a condi- tion precedent to the stocking of the stream by the public authorities The fact that the owners of the stream which the state is asked to stock, are members of the club, would not change the application of the law, since it ap- pears that the general public is not permitted to fish in the stream.
 By the act of 1901, Chapter 140 Section 31, taking effect August 1, 1901, it is provided as follows:
 No fish shall be furnished by the state for stocking any stream, river, pond or lake from which the taking of fish is prohibited by the owner or les see"
 This act simply extends the provi- sions of the acts of 1897 to rivers, ponds and lakes and prohibits the state from any fish to stock them if the taking of fish in them is prohibited by the owner or lessee.
 Tt thus appears that neither under the law of 1897 nor the law of 1901, above quoted, is the state permitted to furnish any fish to stock streams, riv- CTS, ponds or lakes if the public is not permitted to fish in them.
 Respectfully yours,

STOCKED TROUT STREAMS.
FISH COMMISSIONER GEER DE-
 FINES THE CONDITIONS
When Streams are Stocked by the
 State,


 Dr. Charles E. Roweu who was member of the general assembly from Stamford in 1S97 has been in cores. pondcnce with the fish and game com missioners on question of great in terest to trout fishermen and owners o1 trout streams-the rights of the public in streams stocked at state expense.
 There has been considerable discus sion," writes Dr. Powell to the Stam- ford Advocate, "of the question ot stocking streams with fry and lingering trout furnished by the state to appli. cants. Inasmuch as there have been numerous applications, this year. from people of Stamford, the question of what stream may be or may not be stocked with trout furnished by the state is of interest to all who enjoy the use Of rod and reel.
 Section 2,502 of the Revised Statutes of 1887 described private waters in these words. All waters, the shores of which are owned or leased by any one person or corporation, and all artificial pond or ponds formed entirely by erecting dams across streams, such ponds and dams, being owned or leased either by private parties, or by incor- +oy in part owned, by the towns in which they are situated, or which have been stocked by the fish commissioners, shall be private ponds or streams, within the meaning of this chapter, but nothing contained in this section shall be con- structed to apply to North pond in the towns of Lebanon, Hebron and Col chester.'
 When member of the legislature in 1897, I offered an amendment to this section. It will be found in section 69, page 7T9, of acts of that session, and reads: The term private stream shall not apply to branches of streams stocked by the state
 From the above quotation, it would appear that the shores of any stream must be owned by one person or corporation in order to become a private stream within the meaning of the statutes. It follows, then, that a club that has not been incorporated under our laws cannot make a stream a private stream by leasing the exclu sive part of the owners of land through which it runs. The stream it. self still remains public waters, pros ecution for trespass from the owners of the land, or persons to whom they have leased them, being the only ob struction to the public fishing to their hearts content to quote the words of an interview with an Advocate reporter not long ago. '"The following communications will settle the question of the right of appli- cants for state trout placing them in streams that are leased, or where the owners of land refuse to allow the pub- lie to fish in the stream:
