 An Enthusiastic One.
OIL AND GAS FOUND
Little Doubt About it-Company
  Makes Sure of Another We'll : Should Present One Fail.

It developed last night at a largely attended meeting of the Faith Gas and Oil Company which is digging for oil and gas at Faith, a station a few miles south of this city on the Cotton Belt railroad, that gas and oil have already been found at depth of l. 475 feet and that the prospects for striking big gusher in this county are exceedingly bright. H. c. Me- Gaughy John o. Harrison and H. H Helyia. stockholders in the company, who are keeping in touch with the drillers ever day, made most enoour- !aging reports regarding the findings, and the progress of the work at Faith, So positive were the stock holders that they were to get oil from their present borings, that they Would ti6t consent to lease a part of their land, already held by the conn pany i'm leases, to others but an ad- ditional s1o,ooO was subscribed at the meeting by some of the stockholders to finance another we'll on the corns panys land in the event the present well does not pour out the oil ex- pected of it.
 The reports received last night were to the effect that oil and gas had already been found in the pres ent well and that the company ex- poets to strike oil in large quantities before the we'll goes many more feet.
 The stockholders were given am opportunity last night to subscribe for additional stock in the company and they were not long in doing so. Among them are many of the most prominent financiers and business men of this city and county.
 A letter read by H. A. Mccoy from John Galloway, a wealthy oil man of Pittsburg, who is heavily interested with the Jennings Company in oil wells over the country and who is now in the Caddo fields, stating that he would return here shortly, he having spent three weeks here last month to prospect. He has more confidence in the country surrounding
 Pine Bluff than anywhere in the country and declares that the condi- tions here are equally as favorable as those in the great oil fields in Louis jana and Texas
