.HYATTSWLLE DIVIDED
OVER OIL DISCOVERY
CredulOuS and IncreduIOus
Making Tests.

HTATTSVILLE. Dec 6.-Interest in
The RiverGale "oil boom" continues un-
abatcd. The rainbow tinted scum on the
waters OF the Eastern Branch between
RivcrdaIe and Hyattsyile feeds the hope
OF the faithful. and the numbers Of peo-
pie who believe that an oil weII ON the
farm OF .. ID. stephens only awaits drill
ing are increasing.
The idea is secuted that a few hundred
gallons OF kerosene spilled on thl
ground Of Lanham station. four miles
away could account for the presence OF
crude petroleum on the Riverdale farm.
To set this point at rest a sample Of
the fluid taken from the stream flowing
through the stephens farm was sub
jected to analysis by a competent local
chemist lie pronounced the product
petroleum. On the strength OF this re-
port. thirty-day options were secured or
the land in the vicinity and more care
ful tests viii be made.
Another means Of testing the question
with a different result was employed by
Edward L. Latimer. surveyor at Hyatts-
vile. by igniting the leaves and grass
soaked with the oil. he traced the flow
Of kerosene from the scene Of the rail-
way accident at Lanham's Station a dis
tance- OF mile and hslf into a basin
or swamp, in the direction OF Riverdale.
Mr.. Latimer's view is that the oil having
seJtled in the swamp has percolated with
the water through the ground to the
springs. and we'll on the Stephens farm,
two and one-haIf miles farther down.
The two theories advanced to account
for the oil have their advocates in Riv-
erdaIe and vicinity. and arguments be
tween one side and the other are long
