fable OF all the crude beliefs respect
ing geological resources IS that which
holds TO the conviction that by going
deep enough the drill is sure TO find
something OF value. no matter at what
point the work of boring is commenced.
There are numerous wise persons in
every community, estimable, inhuen-
tial and In the highest degree public
spirited who are convinced that the
question. for example. Of finding coal
In their special locality Is simply
matter OF the depth 10 which the ex-
plorations are carried. Rock oil and
natural gas are recognized as desirable
products in every progressive commu-
nifty, and every such community con-
tains persons in other respects intelll-
gent who are ready TO stake their own
fortune and that of their nearest
friends on the belief that oil and gas
are everywhere underneath the surface
and that their sources can be tapped
with the drill provided only there Is
sufficient capital TO keep up the process
OF drilling long enough.-Mines and

Adding to his already long list of hor-

OF Santa Rosa has produced prune
without a pit. Years Of experiment.

Of the Santa Rosa wizard were requir-

has no pit. but a tiny seed that is edible
