A Geological Fallacy.

Probably the most wild and unjusti-
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. infuen.
tiai and in the highest degree public
spirited who are convinced that the
question, for example, Of finding coal
in their special locality is simply a
matter of the depth to which the ex.
plorations are carried. Rock Gil and
natural gas are recognized as desirable
products in every progressive commu
nifty, and every such community con.
tains persons in other respects intelli.
gent who are ready to stake their own
fortune and that of their neares,

are everywhere underneath the surface
and that their sources can be tapped
