Nalsral Asss,s ARasa.

Some years ago / yentured to call
the attention of the public to what 1t
pleased me 10 call our natural assets.
luuugh no one uaECed 10 my piping,
will pipe again. with due modesiy
will say that patient and somewhat
engthy investigation OF this subject
gives me the right to an opinion, sub
segment investigation and reflection
have only confirmed my opinions thus
expressed. My interest in this subject
has been revived by the fact that
party or parties are now busy securing
uptions on thousands Of acres of lanu
IN Ihis vicinity Iur the purpose Of
ldIsp,, ing for oil My purpose in
this article is to write briefly of the
oil prospect There is no question but
what this is an oil bearing region, bat
whether there is basin shaped stra-
tum underneath that will collect and
hold the oil can only be determined
by boring. This region lies between
Durant and Walden. extending South
west aud doubtless connecting with
the oil fields of L, uisiana and Texas.
NV as to my reasons for this belief,
just over the lire from here in Carroll
COuhty 10 u uS0 VI DIOWu COdli oho
perhaps mile east on Capt L. 7.
Alexander's land are springs which
bear a small per cent of oil, can't say
how much. 1t has been many years
since l saw these springs and perhaps
they are covered by washings from the
hills, however, s. g. Alexander lives
near and could doubtless locate the
exact spot, for have visited them
many times times with him when q
boy. There is spring near or at
West emptying into Big Black river
which also shows the same or similar
properties. Here at this place all the
wells, both surface and artesian are
impregnated with the same. A sub
stance which resembles petroleum oozes
from the bluff at Chenoa Hill, and in
all the springs along the bluff the
same manifestations are present Also
in boring or digging shallow wells the
presence of gas pockets has been veri
fed, i'll one instance by blowing the
digger and his implements to the sur.
face. Another wa. when Mr.. Bailey's
boring apparatus was also blown out.
In conclusion will say there is no bet
ter evidence of the presence of oil than
these same gas pockets. Shall we
sleep and let the stranger have our in

The concluding sentence OF
the article taken from the
Statesman and printed on the
front page OF this issue, concern
ing the constitutionolity Of the
amendment allowing county as
SCISSORS deputy assistance, is not
true. 1t states that "all office
expenses heretofore were paid
from the salary OF the assessor"
Everyone in a position to know,
or who have taken the trouble
to ascertain the facts, know that
the statement is not correct.
The county has for years allow
ed the assessors one or two de-
puties, and, as to the extra
clerical help and field deputies,
it has been noticed that the as
SCISSORS quarterly expense bill
has often b, en- greater than his
salary. In TACT If the assessors
had been obliged to use their
salaries to pay the expenses oil
their officers they would often
have had nothing left. The
amendment is a good one and
should have been adopted long
ago. 1t legalizes practice that
has heretofore been ..winked at
