THE CITY OF JENKINS.
Famous RED Fox Cabin to be Sup
planted by Good Church Building.

The reading public has learned
from the press of the day that the
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 dailins 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
electricity-towns 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
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 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 dwellers 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
to the large towns "over the noun
tains," and they had dreamed but
little that the wonders of moderr

their very doors. They are sim
! pie minded folk who are scant o.
speech, but they use eyes and ears

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

A report on "The Menifee gas
field and -he Ragland oil field, Ken
tucky," by M. J. Mum, has just
been issued by the United States
Geological Survev as Bulletin 531-A.
The geologic Investigations on which
this report is based were made In
cooperation with the Geological Sur
yey of Kentucky in October, 1903.
and 1911. These Investigations were
part of a general reconnaissance ex-
animation of the oil and gas fields
OF the southern Appalachian region,
embracing Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Alabama, 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 In
the southwestern part Of Powell-co
The Ragland field is in the extreme
southeastern part of Bath county
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
the "Corniferous" limestone, which
Is the oil and gas bearing sand
in these fields. and to see II 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 In
a previous report (Bulletin 471-A1.)
The results show that the three
pools closely resemble one another
In structural arrangement, and the
deductions to be made therefrom
should prove of much value to oil
and gas men interested In the de-
velopment of other pools in this gen
eral region.
In his report Mr.. Mum says, in
part, that 1.-THE syncline which cross
es the triangle between the Meni-
fee gas field and the Irvine and Rag
land oil fields Is probably unproduc-
tive. the 'Corniferous' limestone be-
ing saturated with water. The Ir-
vine and Campton fields are prob
ably ON the same anticline. which
may prove to be the westward ex-
tention OF a fairly definite antic-
line observed at number OF places
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 500
barrels day and which is probably
on the anticline observed in Nor
gan county by the geologist who
made the report.

free by addressing the Director OF

LARGE GOAL CONTRACT.

The Gem Coal Co.. Of Kilgore,
KY, owned by F.. L. Stewart and
j. C. Hatcher. was one of two low
est bidders on the contract for fur
nishing coal for the Frankfort peni-
tentiary for one year The two
firms bid the same price. They will
probably divide the contract, each
furnishing about 5000 tons of coal.
The cost of coal delivered at the
prison is nearly $4,000 per year.
