During a visit Of Mr.. Alba
Haywood, the renowned oil expert
to this city last week, he was shown
a "prospect" on the Geo. Vest
property in west end. After a cur
sorry examination, in which the gas
was consumed that cropped out
from the ground Mr.. Haywood gave
it as his opinion that he considered
the prospect for oil a good one, and
that he was surprised that New he
ria people did not develop so prom
ising a find, that il he were boring
well and found as good indica-
tons after going a thousand feet,
he wonld consider it a good thing.
His large interests elsewhere pre-
cluded the idea Of taking hold OF
this, but thought that local capital
ought to take hold Of it and bring
the matter to a successful issue.
That was the way the great oil
fields were discovered, perseverance,
and good judgment might do won.
