PUSHING THINGS RAPIDLY.
The Consolidated OIL, Asphaltum
and Mining Company HuStIing.

The Consolidated Oil, Asphaltum and
Mining Company. recently organized in
this city for the development of ten
thousand acres of oil and mineral lands
in Texas, is pushing things rapidly.
Their first derrick is up, the machinery
is on the ground, and drilling will be
commenced in about ten days for the
first well with others. to follow rap
idly. The lands of this company are
located in Montague and Cook counties,
in the extreme north of the State, bor-
dering on the Red river, which divides
Texas from Indian Territory, and are
not only believed to be rich in oil. but
are known to carry threefoot vein
Of asphaltum. and in addition there are
indications of gold, lead and other val
liable minerals. The people of the
two counties named have already taken
large blocks of stock, while Pittsburg
capitalists are interested, in addition to
number in this city. The enterprise
has every promise of being most sue
cessful one, as the amount of territory
controlled affords a wide latitude for
development work.
