 'The fact that very fine quality of Illuminating and lubricating oil exists in Morgan County Is now proven beyond doubt" said Charles L. Price today. At a well which Is being bored at Falkville, nineteen miles below here, about two bar rels of the oil has collected on the ground in pools as it was bailed out of the well. It yet remains to demonstrate whether the oil exists in paying quantities. but of this the drillers are confident"
 MT. Smith, who is an expert oil man. says black sand, known as first oil sand" overlying the oil is nearly always barren of oil but an invariable indica- tion of good oil deposit. In only a very small percentage of paying wells in his thirty years experience has oil ever been found in the first sand" he says. But whenever oil appears in the first sand" 1t has never failed to be followed by handsomely paying flow of oil. Specimens of the oil taken from the Falkville we'll have been tested here today and pro- nounced of fine quality.
