OlI Fields of Fort Smith.

Fort Smiths oil boom continues to grow. A number of outside oil oper- ators are becoming interested. The investigation of the field has devel. oped the fact that this section of the state Is not only we'll supplied with coal and gas but that it has beds of shale and fine grade potter's clay, the equal of which is not found in any part of the United States. It has developed that in some parts of the Massard Prairie where the gas is found In largest quantities, holes have been drilled through beds of this clay TOO feet In thickness. The drill has shown that this shale is of excellent quality, pun, blue and black, soft. medium and hard It is without break and Is suitable to manufacture brick of every conceivable variety. It is rich in aluminium and easy of access and will make high grade tiling. In addition to these deposits, the drill has passed through cement, shale, and coal, and beneath these three valuable miner als, gas has been found in such quan- ties as to lead oil and gas men to say that this field. when more fully developed will be the largest gas field in the United States.

Boys Touch On Gas We'll.

With roar that could be heard for miles, and which shattered the great derrick, gas well, the property of Harry Kelly of the Mansfield Gas Company, on Massard Prairie. five and one-half miles southeast of Fort smith exploded recently. Immediate. iy the well caught fire, and a blaze varying from 30 to 100 feet in height lights the country around by night. A party of boys at play touched of leaking gas pipe and started the first great fire in this gas field. The burning well is the second largest in the field, and has a capacity of B. 100000 to 4,000,000 feet of gas per day. No steps have as yet been taken to stop the blaze, but It is probably that measures will be tried early next week. The fire is spec tacular in the extreme. and people from far and near are driving to the vicinity of the blaze, which may be plainly. seen for ten miles over the level reaches.

County Collectors Fees.

Attorney General Kirby recently rendered an opinion regarding the fees hat county collectors are entitled to, in listing nonresident, or unknown property holders. There has been con. siderable controversy on the matter between the assessors in the State. and the county judges. the former claiming that they were entitled to $l for every name of nonresident that they listed. and the county judges assuming that the assessors were entitled to q for each township listed. A definition of the law was requested of the attorney general by County Judge w. T. Martin of Ouachita county. who. it is said. disputed the bill rendered by the assessor of the county. Attorney General Kirby addressed the following letter to Judge Martin. which is self-explanatory: Yours of the 11th inst asking my opinion as to what fee should be allowed the assessor for making list of real property of unknown and non- resident owners, under section 6950, Kirby's Digest. Is received For each list of real property the owner or owners of which are unknown, or non- residents, one dollar, and all such lands in one township and range to be embraced or counted as one list. but if any unknown person or non- resident owns lands on more than one township he shall be allowed one dol lar for each township. Provided, no fee shall be allowed any assessor for listing any name or personal property unless said party or property, as the case may be, is in the county and subject to taxation Section 6960 Kirby's Digest The assessor is entit- led to one dollar. and no more. for assessing all lands of non-residents and unknown owners in each township where there are any of such lands.

The clerical force in the auditors office was busy Tuesday correcting errors made by number of appli- cants for pensions. The majority or the mistakes were by widows. whose applications for increase pensions were made out on soldiers blanks. and who failed to place the Mrs" before their names. In such cases warrants were drawn for each for $23, whereas they should have been drawn for $46. About a dozen mistakes of this kind were made and all by the applicants.

The committee. which is composed of Senators Carlock, Hami ter and Harrison, has been engaged in the preparation of the Senate Jour nal about four months. Much of the work of copying the jCsrnal for the printer was done by George H. Ire vathan, secretary of the Senate. at his home In Batesville. The journal when printed will make A volume of from 500 to 600 pages. It was expected that the report of the joint committee appointed to investigate matters relat- ing to the construction of the new state capitol would be made a part of the Senate journal, but this was found to be unnecessary, as the report is contained in the proceedings of the house, in which the resolution author izing the appointment of the commit tee originated. This report is in itself bulky volume and has already been printed. The bound volumes of the proceedings of both Senate and house will probably be delivered to the sec retary of state within the next 60 days.
