The Parkfeld-S San Attonio
Oil Company has about 1000
acres Of patented land in the
Parkfeld District about
twelve miles south Of the
famous Coalingafelds and
$40 acres in the San Antoine
District in Monterey Co.
Had these properties not
been patented they would
have been drilled long ago.
Here is what an expert
says after an inspection of
our lands:
"The nature of the land is
very regular, rolling hills
and evidently have never
been disturbed or broken
otherwise than the lifting up
or folding back through the
entire length in a uniform
break as Is shown by the
outcrop and anticline at the
base of the range or floor of
the valley. Here we see the
outcrop oilsands which vary
from 20 to so feet in width
and the dip of the anticline
shows uniformly to be
about 800 in a westerly direc-
ton. The oil sands are well
impregnated with oil, also
the shale which caps the oil
sand; this condition / found
at regular intervals through
out the distance covered, in
small canyons caused by the
washing out of the alluvial
soil by the clements, thus ex-
posing the seepage of: oil
which is constantly coming
from the oil sands and shale
at all the points throughout
the entire length of outcfop.

MANS LIFE RESTS ON AN EGG
Wife Slain Before Husband Left Fer
Office, Is States Contention.

Milwaukee, Nov. 27.-How long does
it take to digest an egg in woman's
stomach? That is the principal ques
ton in the trial of Ward E. Hedger. a
Milwaukee factory owner, for the MUIR
der of his wife.
Hedger's wife was killed early in the
forenoon one day last spring. The
state claims that an egg eaten at 1880
a. M, was not an hour digested when
she was killed. hence that the woman
was shot before her husband left for
his Office at $50 a. m.
The defense cont ends that the muir
der was committed by tramp who
came to the door and shows that the
house was ransacked as if by a burg
lar, though nothing was stolen.
The state gives as a motive the fact
that Hedger and his wife quarreled
over the placing of a mortage on their
home.
