ALABAMA OIL FIELDS
MUCH ACTIVITY IN NORTHERN
 PART OF STATE.
Major Otley an Expert. Take ef sitaa-
 tion i'm the Tennessee Valley and Citizens are Hope ful.

Decatur, Dec. 7.--(special. )--wtth- in the last few days new life and new interest has been injected into the fu- ture development of the oil fields of North Alabama. For several months past there has been but little of con- sequence done towards the develop ment of these fields, mainly for the lack of money.
 The newspaper reports during the past few days to the effect that Major John w. Otley had made rich find at Humble. Tex. has given the people of the Tennessee Valley much renewed hope that oil in vastly paying quanti- ties, will be found ,n this section at no distant day. Their reasons for thinking so are these: Major Otley is one of the most famous geologists and oil experts in the United States. It was he who located the celebrated Beaumont. Tex, oil fields for Captain A. F. Lucas a few years ago and it will be remembered that it was Major Otley who in 1901 was sent by the make a survey of the Valley of the Tennessee in North Alabama.
 After making this survey of the Val ley of the Tennessee he gave as his opinion that commencing southwest of Decatur and extending westward into Mississippi there would be found very extensive and good oil fields. high ly gaseous. Thus far in every case. where a test has been made. the opin- ions of Major OtIey have been con- firmed and this latest great find in Texas has given added hope to those who are engaged in testing the fields in Alabama.
 In his report on the oil fields of North Alabama Major Otley says "The points recently examined by me were the most pronounced I have ever met with and I unhesitatingly pronounce those lands in Morgan, Lawrence. Franklin and Colbert counties equal to any fields east of the Mississippi ba- sim,
 Major otley said farther. "Ths North Alabama oil fields are located In the HartseIle, Decatur, RusselIville and MouIton Valley section of North Ala bama. This field is an extension of the great Appalachian oil belt from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. The of this section of Ala bama will undoubtedly prove a very rich field, both in Illuminating and lu- bricating oils. The essential geologi- cal features In much of this territory are so pointed that the question of se- curing oil in paying quantities is only secondary. The structural arrange ment is such that the pools are neees- sarily broad and where the catastro- phes have been suficient, but not too violent. deep pools may be anticipated
 with such evidence at your com mand there is practically an assurance of rich reward in discovery. This belt
