LUCAS IN GEORGIA.
Ne Has Leased q Lot OF Land Near
Folkston.

folkston.
waycross, Ca. June 2s The possibility
OF the discovery OF oil at Folkston. In
Charlton county. continues to be topic
of conversation in this section. Your cor.
respondent made a trip through the Charl.
ton county ''oil fields" a day or two since
In company with a prominent citizen OF
Folkston and was informed Of the plans,
80 far as can be made public. OF Mr.. Lucas,
who will shortly begin boring test we'll.
About four months or more since A. +.
Lucas, the man who discovered the fita
big gusher at Beaumont, Texas. came to
Folkston and made a careful examination
q the lands In the southern part OF
the Folkston people that there was un-
mistakablc evidence OF oil In the county
A few DAYS later he returned TO Folkston
ing much of his time examining tho fow
of water from springs In the neghhorhood
OF the st. Marys river.
Immediately after his second trip Mr..
Lucas, through an agent. began TO lease
all the land obtainahte IN the southern
part of the county. The price to be paid
was cent; cents per hS acre reoi per year on ten
natural gas privileges only. Payment
for the first year was made In advance,
and under this proposition 25,0Oo- acres OF
land, all situated below Folkston, were
leased and payment made for one year
A short time later carload OF ma.
chipery, required IN boring wells, ar.
rived and was stored away at the nome
OF man who has acted as Mr.. Lucus'
agent.
Mr. Lucas has made several trips to
Folkston since the land has been leased
and has given out the information that
boring would commence as soon us a
suitable man to do the work couid be Sc
cured. He stated that he Is reasonably
certain OF obtaining either oil or natural
gas. He also states thar HIS first trip ~
Folkston was occasioned by the scientific
reports OF n civil engineer who FIRST SUI.
vcycd the railroad through that county
In nearly all the springs around Folk
stou m oily scum forms on the water as
It flows from the ground. In spring on
the banks of the st. Marys river near
Camp Pincknev an occasional bubble APP
pears with the water. A lighted match
touched to the bubble Will cause an cH-
ploslon. This spring is considered one OF
the strongest evidences OF natural gas
beneath the surface of the earth.
Some of the Folkston people are very
doubtful in regard to Mr. Lucas, chances
of finding oil In their county, but the ma.
iority Of them are very hopeful. All he
| lieve that work on the test well will be.
| gin in a short time and every one Will
| lend all the assistance possible.
