Mounds show the top of the Missis-
sippian series to be $50, 100 and p
200 feet, respectively, below the sur

The upper limestone member OF
this series varies in thickness from
80 to 175 feet. and in Kansas is known
as the Pitiin lime. Immediately be-
low the Pitkin Lime ocurs a break,
which may be shale sandstone or lime
shells This limestone has a similar
position to that of the Fayetteville
of Arkansas. Next below the Fayette-
Vile is the Boone or Burlington cher

at would be profitable to both pro-
duccr and driller to make drilling con
tracts specify a certain depth with
sliding scale of advanced price in
the Nississippian formation. The
rale has been to contract to the Mis-
ssissippi lime which can be nothing
but indefinite and confusing.
The question frequently arises as
to the possibility of finding oil and
gas in rocks of the Mississippian age.
Concerning this. | would say that |
know of nothing that absolutely pre-
cludes production from rocks of the
Mississipp.an age. In fact, | know
of several wells that have produced
oil from the Mississippian formation.
| can. however mention two import
ant factors which argue that produc-
ton in rocks of Missssippian age, in
Oklahoma, is not likely to be so i'm
! portant and extensive as production
found in the Pennsylvania series.
| One factor is the scarcity OF sand
| stone. in the Mississipplan series.
Sandstone, as we know, forms a bet
ter reservoir for the collection or
storage of oil than any other forma'
ton, for the texture is, as a rule
more regular and the pores larger.
at some future period, in the event
that the production Of the upper di
vision Of the Carboniferous should
decrease and the price OF oil increase
sufficiently, a systematic development
OF the upper half of the Mississippiar
rocks would then be warranted. How
ever. under present conditions, taking
into consideration the uncertainty OF
this formation and the great cost OF
drilling it, l would not advise the eX-
ploration of the Mississippian rocks
below the Boone formation until such
time as the production has become
more scarce and the price of crude
increased to a point where such oper-
ations would pay fair return on the
money invested in its development

orally stopped when the thick lime
had been reached, the popular belief
being that there were no pays to b.
found in or below this formation.
Another reason for stopping the drill
when this formation has been reach
cd, is that the rock is very hard ana
the drilling quite expensive. y test

mile north of Claremore, at a depth

going on at this location for over

The Opinion of Mr. Valerius.
The following brief discussion of
the mississippi formations is heresiy-
on by Mr. NJ. Valerius, Of the firm Of
Valerius K McNutt Geologic 4 Mine
Engineering company Of Tulsa:
ordinations of the Carbontterous
lcriod are divided into two divisions;
"ND Upper Carboniferous,
"O2) Lower Carboniferous.
'Ry many geologist.l the term
PENNSYLVANIA is used interchange
ably with Upper Carboniferous,' and
Mississippan has the same signlh
cance as Lower Carboniferous.
An idea. common among produc
ers and drillers. is that all rocks OF
. the Mssissippian age are limestones
This is erroneous, though it must be
admitted that limestone members pre-
dominate. Below is giver portion
of the log of deep well, near lola

LOOKS OVER STAG ISLAND
May Convert Resort Into Fine Ma
tional Park.

&. II. H. Williamson, an Ottawa gov
eminent engineer, was sent to Stag
island yesterday by DIR. Roche, Canadian
minister of the interior, to look over
the island and its possibilities as a
prospective national park. The govern
ment intends to make the island a
commemorative park as a tribute to
the 100 years of peace existing between
Canada and the States. Some two
months ago during the time that the
International Peace celebration was
being held there, prominent Canadians
suggested that the island be converted
into a national park, and the idea
found instant favor with the govern
ment. The island comprises some 400
acres, and is valued at 100000. 1t is
understood that the present owners are
willing to sell. Mr.. Williamson's re-
port will be made to DIR. Roche this
week, after which more definite steps
will be taken.

The marriage of Sarah Williams to
Leonard W. Parker was solemnized Oh
Saturday, October Is, 1913 at the home
of her sister, Mrs. Waterman, in Peck.
At high noon the invited guests had
assembled to witness the ceremony
which was performed by Elder j. IL.

meteor with lace trimmings and her
shower boquet of lilies of the valley
and white rosebuds, was carried by her
only attendant, little four year old

The rooms were simply and tastefully
decorated as were also the tables from
which a delicious course dinner was
served directly after the loving and

slowed upon the bride and groom.
In the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Parker were driven to CrOswell where

The home will be made in Toronto,
Ont, at 63 De Lisle Ave.
From childhood until young woman
hood Miss Williams had lived in Y ale,
and Salle as she was famliarly known
among her associates, was most
lovable and winsome girl, endeared to
all by her noble traits of character.
After graduating from the high school
she went to Chicago TO take the train
ing of a nurse, which calling she has
followed very successfully since
Mr.. Parker we understand is at the
