Recent discoveries Of oil in several
localities where hardly anybody be-
loved 1t to exist have caused great
activity in prospecting where the
geological formation would seem to
indicate tho presence Of oil. The
Birmingham district of Alabama is,
perhaps, the most hopeful of these
fields of adventure. The recent find
ing of gusher in Lawrence county,
Ala. confirms this opinion and we
should not be surprised at any time
to hear that somebody has "struck
oil" near Birmingham. The men OF
science who have been making inves-
LEGATIONS in that quarter are confident
that oil exists there in great quaint
ties and that it will soon be discov-
cred. Such is the opinion also Of in
vestigators who have had much prac-
teal experience in the discovery and
development of oil regions. Conse-
queutly there are now in the Birm-
ingham district thousands Of oil
hunters, nearly every one OF whom
expects to make find soon that will
enrich him. Already lands which
show signs Of oil are held at fancy
figures and are the subject of much
speculation. We may hear big oil
news from Birmingham any day.
would be far less surprising thnn the
announcement of the Texas disoov-
cries or those in California roUently.

in contempt by Judge Freedman, Of

obey an order which directed him
to surrender 100000 Of stock of the

has had an order entered against him
requiring his imprisonment until he
does so. In addition he will have
to pay $138, costs of the proceedings.
VIM. Mcmahon sued Edison and
VIM. Holser to recover the stock,
alleging that it was promised to him,
pursuant to an agreement for SER
vices which he rendered to the COM
pany in floating its stock. The COM
pany was incorporated with a capital
of 81 100000 and judgment was
taken by default which required the
stock to be delivered to Mcmahon.
Edison denied that Mcmahon was

stock was floated.
