Buried Treasures

Never perhaps before in the
history of the State was there so
much interest manifested in
mines of wealth under the soil
of Louisiana. In the four cor
ners of the State there are oil
fields, or oil indications which
the owners are certain are signs
that under the soil are hidden
rich deposits of either oil or gas,
perhaps both. In Sabine Parish
some new gas wells have been
brought in and a field of remark
able wealth gives promise of de.
velopment. In the northern part
of East Baton Rouge Parish pros
pectors are ready to sink a test
well, and are confident that oil
will be found. In Livingston
Parish there are signs of oil, and
in West Baton Rouge, Pointe
Coupee and Avoyelles parties
have secured options on lands
for the purpose of developing
whatever natural gas or oil fields
may be found. These prOspec'
tive fields, with the already prov
en- fields of Jennings, Anse-la
Butte and Caddo, make Louisi
ana the most remarkable oil and
gas state in the union. If there
is any development in any of the
prospective fields Louisiana vii
be put far ahead of any Other
state in oil production. Thu
hunt for oil signs will also be re
newed.

BORING FOR OIL
NEAR ZACHARY
A Company Has Been Formed to lHVesti.
gate Indications That Have Existed
for Many Years.

The Picayune OF Saturday con.
tains an interesting description
of the topography of Deerford,
where a test well for gas or oil
will be sunk. Deerford is a vii.
age, five miles from Zachary and
connected with that town by O
short line railroad. II is located
on a series of mounds or humps
that rise up suddenly and pre-.
cipitously from a fat and woody
country. II is not a rolling or
undulating effect, but a chain Of
distinctive humps that look like
humps on a camel's back. They
exist in chain running north.
west by southeast. These hills
are about thirty in number and
are formed of red clay at the
base, which is of the consistency
and weight of the heaviest stone,
and on top of the hills there is q
solid deposit Of the fnestgrained
variegated colOred sand. On the
top of the hills no vegetation will.
grow, and this condition cannot
be accounted for by the natives,
who have profted by the situa.
ton u build their houses at the
summit of the hills, thus assur.
ing good drainage and fine yards
surrounding their premises. The
chain of hills are limited to a ter.
ritory of about five miles In ex.
tent, and are Zoo extended TO be
Indian mounds. They are phe.
nomena of nature, existing there,
known all the time to the old
residents Of the parish, but no
thought or concern was given To
their being there, until the de-
velopment of the southwestern
Louisiana and Caddo oil fields
when the natives in reading and
hearing about these localities be-
gan TO realize that right in their
midst they possessed all the
characteristics and Typographical
. indications that Beaumont, Jen.
nings or Caddo have. The ma.
tives, now that their expectations
have been aroused by the prom
ises of development and pros
pecting of capitalists for oil and

| dents and happenings, which,

His Trip Likely to Settle
Problem Now Vexing
the Powers.

The announcement received at the
State Department that the Belgian min
lister of the colonies is to make a visit
in June to the Congo State for the
purpose of investigating thoroughly the
labor conditions there. is accepted in
Washington as an indication that this
vexing question. which is still before

tied.
As yet the United States Government
has not approved of the transfer of the
-oyal domain by King Leopold to the
government This approval is being
withheld until there is assurance that
The labor conditions will be improved
to the satisfaction OF the governments
signatory to the Berlin convention. 1t
is believed that Minister Renkins visit
will bring about this condition. The
United States viii then give its formal
approval.
The only immediate question now
pending in connection with the Congo is
the trial of two American missionaries
for libel, which has been brought 10 the
attention Of the State Department by
the Southern Board of Presbyterian
Missions. Some time ago the Depart
ment requested the Belgian authorities
10 hold the trial at a point that could
be conveniently reached by the mis-
sionaries, who are in the interior. Nc
reply to this communication has yet
