KENTUCKY OIL AND GAS FIELDS
Investigations by United States
Geological Survey.

A report on 1.-THE Menifee gas
field and he Ragland oil field, Ken
lucky" by M. J. Mum, has just
been issued by the United States
Geological Surve'' as Bulletin 53l-A.
The geologic Investigations on which
this report is based were made In
cooperation with the Geological Sur
yey OF Kentucky In October, 1908,
and 1911. These Investigations were
part of general reconnaissance ex-
animation of the oil and gas fields
OF the southern Appalachian region,
embracing Kentucky, Tennessee. and
Alabama, a report on which Is In
course of preparation. The two field
discussed in Bulletin 531-A are IN
the northeastern part of Kentucky
The Menifee gas field is situated II
the southwestern part of Powell-co
The Ragland field IL in the extreme
southeastern part of Bath count,
and the adjacent portion OF Rowan
county.
The principal object OF this recon
Nuisance work was to determine ap-
proximately the structure or dip Of
I the "Corniferous" limestone, which
is the oil and gas bearing sand
in these fields, and to see IL These
fields have any structural relation
ship not only to each other but al
so to the Compton oil field of Wolfe
county, which had been described IL

The results show that the thret
pools closely resemble one another
In structural arrangement, and the
deductions to be made therefron
should prove of much value to oil
and gas men interested in the de-
velopment of other pools In this gen
eral region.

ably on the same anticline, which
may prove to be the westward ex-
tention of fairly definite antic-

in Morgan county"
1t is interesting to note that
months after the manuscript for
this report was prepared a well
was completed at Camel City, Nor
gan county, which Is reported to
have started flowing at about 600
barrels day and which Is probably
on the anticline observed in Nor
gan county by the geologist who
made the report.

THE CITY or JENKINS.
Famous Red Fox Cabin to Be Sup.
planted by Good Church Building.

The reading public has learned
mountain section of Eastern Ken
lucky has undergone a wonderful
physical, mental and moral change
during the past very few years. 1t
has read of the development of the
most extensive coal fields on the
face of the globe, of the establish
ment Of hundreds of coke ovens, of
the mining and shipment of millions
of bituminous coal. Men and wom-
en- have seen in the big dailias of
the big cities half tone pictures OF
towns which have sprung up, by
night, as 1t were, in the midst OF
mountains and ravines and gulches
towns which rightfully and proud
ly boast of banks, of auditoriums, of
business blocks and palatial homes
built of concrete and lighted by
observation-disclosures supplied with wat.
er from concrete reservoirs which
hold enough to supply whatever siz-
ed city which they may be called
upon to furnish. The public reads
of these mighty achievements with
a degree OF wonder tempered by a
knowledge of the fact that in this
day and age of the world the civil
engineer asks but two questions
when confronted with the problem
OF accomplishment; What do you
want me to do, and can you raise
the money which the construction
will cost. The doing of these nigh
ty miracles right in the heart OF
the hills has, the NEWS repeats
caused a degree of wonder to the
denizens of the great cities where
SO much that is little short of mar
velous is constantly occurring. But
to the jewellers in the region where
these transformations have occurred
the change from then to now II
indeed a mirade. Few of the men
still fewer of the women have beer

NEWSPAPERMEN HONOR
JAMES NORTON AT FEAST
Testimonial for the Reporter
Named for Public Office.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., July mo
newspaper man in the history Of
Jersey City has been so honored as
was James F. Norton, now deputy
commissioner of public safety under
the city's now form of commission
government, yesterday afternoon. The
tribute was purely that of his CO.
laborers in the local journalistic field
during a period of a quarter of a
century. More than two score of his
newspaper friends rendered him u
dinner at the Downtown Club, in the
Union Trust building. and presented
him with gold badge of his office.
With the exception of the five meme
bers of the city's government COM
mission, all of whom were guests Of
honor, and possibly Congressman Eu-
gene Kinkead, who for a short time
was connected with Mr.. Norton in a
local journalistic enterprise. the
diners were all Norton's co-laborers
as newspaper men.
Judge John Mccormick was toast.
master. He made a very happy
speech before pinning Mr.. Norton's
badge on. and the new deputy COM
missioner of safety made an equally
splendid speech of thanks to those
who had thus honored him, not as an
official, but as q newspaper man.
Speeches congratulating Mr.. Norton
on his elevation from the ranks Of
a newspaper man to an important
official position were made by Mayor
Mark M. Pagan, Peter O'Toole, of
Newark, and Congressman Eugene
