OIL IS STRUCK
NEAR FILLMORE
Well Recently Started Gets
Both Gas and Oil at
200 Feet Deep.
MUCH LOCATING Is DONE
AND WILLARD COUNTY is ON
THE BOOM.
MUCH LOCATING IS DONE

From the way things are moving Wash
ington county is not going to have mo-
nopoly in the oil excitement that is break
ing out Willard county is in the running.
and according to reports that are coming
from Fillmore, the prospects for getting
not only oil. but gas as well, are alto
gether promising. Writing to The Her
aid on the subject one of the best known
business men of Willard county says:
Parties from various sections of the
country are here looking over the sit
uation and locations are being made so
rapidly that nearly all the land for miles
in the vicinity of Fillmore have been COW
cred within short time.
ut was reported yesterday that gas and
oil had been struck in the new well at a
depth of only 200 feet Two rigs are now
at work and another is soon to begin
boring Indications of shale oil seepS
are reported from different points in this
section, and it is now claimed by experts
for both gas and oil of any portion of
southern Utah.
1.-The wise ones are also predicting a
boom in the old Antelope mining district
in the near future. A number of mining
experts have recently visited that section
and the word has been passed that there
is sure to be considerable excitement and
lot of substantial work done there be-
fore the year is over.
Some interest is being taken in the
shipping of a chalk or lime substance
found in abundance near the lava beds
of this county and, taken all in all, Mil
lard county is awakening from its leth-
argy and coming to the front with rapid
strides.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Weeks Business Again Goes Away
Over the HaIf-Million Mark.

After a week of high pressure trading
and market in which the bulls have ex-
ercised almost complete control, there
appears to be a little of a halt and it
would not be surprising if prices during
the coming week ranged lower. A-Slump
is not anticipated; there is nothing to in
dictate that; but everything has been run
ming under such a full head of steam
for more than a month that it seems
as though there would have to be
breathing spell until the stokers have
gathered a new supply of fuel. Nothing
could be more surprising than the mar
ket conditions prevailing here. Every
thing in every other portion of the bust
hess and speculative world is hating;
here everything is forging ahead 1t
shows one thing. if nothing else, and
that is that there is all kinds of money
in Utah ard that the mines of the state
rank higher and stronger than they do
anywhere else on earth.

RICH COPPER STRIKE

It cropped out yesterday that the sud

to the fissure in which the strike was
made and the assay that he received on
the ore. showed the presence of 1913 per
cent copper and 10 ounces silver per ton.
The iron Gaping assayed 40 per cent iron
and IS ounces silver.
''Of course there had been but little
work done in the fissure when 1 saw it, "
said Mr.. Jacobs, but it looked good and
strong The fiSsure is evidently a big
one for there was between two and three
feet of ore exposed when ] was in the
mine and its limits had not then been de-
termined The ore was loose and easily
broken out, and while Superintendent
Joseph Treloar was unwilling to make any
prediction as to how it would pan out, he
admitted that it looked as though it ought
to make a big body Of ore
