The theory that oil lakes we're forme d,
not by the coal beds Of the continent,
but rather from the vast stores Of fossils
and remains OF fishes and animals that
once inhabited the earth, is attracting
the attention Of the scientists these
days. One geologist claims that it is
impossible for.the oil to have formed
from coal, as has commonly beon sup
posed was the case. II the presence of
fossils in the geological formation Of a
country is indicative Of oil. as asserted.
we must have an ocean Of grease under
meath us here in San Juan county. Beds
Of fossils are known to exist 10 all this
section, and the largest mastodon re.
mains ever found in the coIntry are
said to have been discovered on Coal
creek, north Of the Charo's famous
ruin. An Immense bed Of petrified
oysters was found by a surveying party
which went out from Aztec the past
summer, and it is believed that a well
put down TO a sufficient depth would
strike oyster soup. This oyster find was

 Action on lost bond-Appeal from the
 Circuit Court of Morgan.
 l. Action upon lost bond; defect in affidavit accompanying complaint no ground" of objection to complaint-An action may be brought on a bond or note alleged to be lost or destroyed, without the plaintiff making the statu- tory affidavit of the "loss and destruc- tino the contents thereof, and that the same has not been paid or otherwise destroyed" Code, Sec. 31), the pur- pose of such an affidavit being to sniit the burden of proof; but if an affidavit intended to be made. as prescribed by said section of the Code, is attached to the complaint, defects in such affidavit constitute no ground of objection Or demurrer to the complaint.
 2. Pleading and practice; amend ment of complaint-Where the original complaint in an action contains a single count seeking to recover upon a promissory note which is averred to csHtain a waiver of exemptions and a promise to pay reasonable attorneys fees. it is permissible to amend the complaint by adding a second count which seeks to recover upon promis- sorry note without the conditions as alleged in the original complaint; such amendment not being the substitution of an entirely new cause of action.
 3. Same; same-A court has power, after the trial has been entered upon, to allow an amendment of the com plaint so as to make the allegations of the terms of the contract declared or correspond with the evidence: and where the original complaint contains a single count seeking to recover upon a promissery note. and there IS evil dence introduced tending to show that the property sued on was under seal and therefore bond and not ncte, it is proper for the court 10 allow the plaintiff to amend his complaint by the addition of another count seeking ts recover upon a bond; such, bond as described in the amended complaint relating to the same cause of action de. clared on in the first count.
 f. Trial and its incidents; chai ge of court as to evidence illegally admitted.
