Oil In Cameron and
HidaIgo Counties.

Referring to the recent sfate-
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 CT 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.
Ily in Cameron county, but in Hi
dalgo as well In my opinion,
there is not foot of ground in
that county where paying oil
we'll cannot be struck =
Starr and Zapate counties, he
also says, undoubtedly have rich
oil deposits. "Without doubt, "
he concluded, "the cnly 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
a deep enough hole in the ground
I,aud they Will be amply rewarded
