TO DIG OIL WELLS
CAPT. LUCAS AT WORK IN CHARL-
TON COUNTY.
PREPARING TO BORE THERE.
MACHINERY BEING PUT UP IN
FOLKSTON FOR THE TEST.

DiscoVerer of beaumont, Texas,
Wells Thinks He Has Found Traces
of Oil Near FOIkstOn-Has Been
Quietly Investigating the Soil for
for Some Little While and Has
Leased 10000 Acres of Land-Delay
ia the Arrival of shipment OF
Pipe Has Necessitated Postpone
ment of Test Near st. Mary's River.
Capt. A. T. Lucas, discoverer of the
Beaumont, Texas, oil wells, former
Austrian army officer and wealthy
rrospector, is quietly at work in Geor-
gia and has reason to believe that
he will strike gushers as valuable as
those in Texas.
Capt Lucas it at Folkston, in Charl-
ton County, and if all goes well will
make the tests early next week that
will determine whether his judgement
on the subject of oil lands has gone
astray. SO certain is he that the soil
around Folkston is oil land that he has
leased in the neighborhood of 10000
acres and, has ordered machinery to
be used in boring the trial wells.
Folkston is about twenty miles from
the Okeefenokee swamp, and attracted
the attention of the Texas Oil King
some time ago. He went to the place
without disclosing his identity and
went quietly to work looking over the
ground. That he discovered satisfac-
tory signs of oil is shown by the fact
that he closed a lease for the land and
ordered the necessary machinery ship
ped at once.
Some of this machinery has already
reached Folkston and has been put in
shape for the test. A car load of pipes,
however went astray on the road and
has caused a delay in the starting of
the test 1t is expected that the pipes
will show up in the next day or two
and at that time the work OF boring
for oil will be begun.
A spot has already been selected for
the making of the test upon the ar
rival of the machinery The location
selected by Capt. Lucas as the most
favorable is about a mile and half
from Folkston, near the st. Mary's
river, at Old Camp Pinckney.
The information that Capt. Lucas is
looking for oil in Charlton county was
first brought to this city by travelling
men, and it is said that since the facts
have become known the owners of land
in the vicinity of Folkston are holding
on to it,
