All the rainbow oil, peacock colors,

OF the public at this point.
For many years past the older citI.
zens OF this vicinity have long be-
lieved that both oil an d gas existed at
this port. The OIL ia seen In many
places upon the water every day 10 all
OF It's most magnificent hues and

PROFESSORS PREDICTION.
"ThIs city, purely from the result
OF the development OF the rich oil
and gas deposits said Professor dc
Lamorton recently. twill be city OF
$4,000 population almost before she
knows It. One great city viii spring
Into being here as II by magic, and
the present towns and settlements OF
Pascagoula, Moss Point, East Side,
Orange Grove and Lane Will become
one Of the busiest OF Industrial and
commercial centres In the United
States The immense natural adyan.
tages Of the physical location OF the
Port OF Pascagoula and her splendid
port and harbor facilities all tend TO
Insure her permanent place 10 the
galaxy OF future great ports.
Just think OF The recent deal BY
the J. Q. Trees Oh company OF Caddo
parish, La, on this Russian flow, sell
Ing 10 the STANDARD on company for
$1,000, 900. Think Of the wells being
brought In ranging from 10000 ~
1900 barrels daily capacity just west
OF this location 10 Louisiana. Think
of The gas wells AZ Fayette, Ala,
then think OF the gas well burning at
Mobile al the old race track. Then,
when you come 10 take my survey,
which runs In between Fayette, Ala.
and Mobile, you can readily see the
cause Of The gas being in the Mobile
district and at Fayctte, Ala, as the
line OF survey runs bias across the
country. There Is no oil ct Fayette,
and no oil where the gas we'll is at
Mobile, still this survey indicates that
the oil Is not so far from Mobile but
what she can have the full benefit
from the products from the Pennsyl-
vania flow as well as from the Russian
flow"
