the Presence of Petroleum
JhOUn BY Surface Indications
(From OH and Gas Journal Tulsa, Okia.)

Are there any surface indications
by which one may be guided in pros
pecting for petroleum." is the question
asked by reader Of The Journal In a
small Gulf Coast town in Texas. The
same question is often asked lease
men when they begin to lease for
oil and in new territory. 1t is fair
question, and, while no hard and fast
rules are applicable, there are some
simple tests that all should know and
which all can understand. The tests
here given are simply preliminary.
Before actual drilling takes place, it
would be well to confirm the simpler
tests by having a thorough examina-
ton Of the locality made by reliable
geologist. OF course, the geologist
may miss it--he cannot tell for GER
tainty where there is oil, but he cafi
tell you where the conditions are fay.
orable, at what depth you will find
certain sands, and, most important of
all, where formations are such that
it would be useless to drill and expect
to find oil, While the geologist can
not tell you where the oil is, he can
tell you where it is not,
In the Gulf Coast country, the pres
ence of domes. of gas mounds, escap-
ing natural gas and oil seepages are
considered as good indications for the
presence Of oil below the surface. The
presence of surface gas may or may
not indicate petroleum. Its presence
is usually discovered in the bottoms
of streams, in swamps, lowlands when
covered with water and in digging
shallowwater wells.
Mounds and oil seepages are also
excellent indications. Most of the oil
fields of California have been discov-
cred where there were surface seep-
ages or mounds. While these are
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1914-01-27

good indications, they are not infalli
Bile. Domes, gas mounds and oil seep
ages are searched out by the pros
pector who Is hunting for oil In Cali.
fornia or any Of the Gulf Of Mexico
countries.
A Few Tests Described.
In countries where the formations
are more regular, the examination of
streams and rocks is advisable. The
best season for this work Is in the
summer, when the water in the stream
Is standing in pools. The heat will
then cause the oil to ooze out from
the rocks and outcroppings and gath.
er In the scum on the surface of the
water. Any barefoot boy who has
gone wading in small streams has
seen this varigated scum on the top
Of the water, This scum may not
come from petroleum deposits. 1t
may be from decayed animal or veGe-
table matter or it may BIO the oxide
stick and stir it apart. If it shows a
tendency to unite quickly, it is proba-
bly, petroleum. II it breaks up in
flakes and the particles seem to have
no affinity for each other, it is oxide
of iron.
If it seems to be oil, the next test
is to watch and see if 1t comes from
the bottom of the creek, bubbling up
with gas. If there are no gas bubbles,
punching a sharp stick into the bottom
of the creek is a good test. II oil or
gas bubbles do not rise to the surface,
then the scum comes from rock out
Groupings or further up the creek.
The rocks should then be examined.
If the outcroppings are of sandstone,
look for cavities where the oil will
have chance to collect You can
tell it by the odor. Another test is
the water test. Place a piece of the
rock in hot water. In a short time,
if it is oil, it will rise to the surface
in the characteristic iridescent film.
Rain drops will stand out on rock i'm
pregnated with oil much as they will
on any other greasy surface. Rocks
impregnated with oil are usually dark
er than the stone of the same charac-
ter that does not carry it.
These preliminary tests are about
as far as the novice can go with the
work. 1t should then be turned over
to someone of experience in the oil
fields to decide where to drill. All of
these surface indications are excellent
evidences of the existence Of oil.
While this is true, nothing but the
penetration OF the drill Will determine
the presence of oil. 1t should also be
borne in mind that while the chances
are better for the discovery OF oil with
all or any of these surface indications
than it is where they do not exist,
yet fields have been discovered where
none of these indications have been
found before drilling.

for one, they would be glad to see
reasonable compensation measure to
avoid friction. Because the New Jer'
sey statute was considered a model
in operation in that state, however,
was no reason to assume that the same
sort of law would work equally well
in Mississippi. Conditions in the two
states are strikingly different. There
were fewer skilled laborers in Missis-
sippi and lower schedule of wages;
accordingly, there should be a lower
qIGde of compensation. He sugge sted
'hat commission be appointed to
make an investigation and recommend
what would be a proper and fair meas
IRE to meet conditions in Mississippi.
The Observation-Disclosures Lumber Com
pany would be glad to assist in work
ing out a good law. In answer to a
question, Mr.. Wisner said that it would
cost the employer more by paying
damages under a fixed compensation
plan than it now does through jury
verdicts in damage suits.
Victor ScanIan's Argument
V. NJ. Seaman, of the Lar'"~ "mber
Company, Hattiesburg, argued for a
compensation law from the standpoint
of high moral grounds. "If = law is
not enacted now, it will he. for it is
right, necessary and needed" said Mr.
Seaman. Four primary reasons were
stated for the law. First, because in
dustries should do right by those who
toll for them: second, labor has never,
for any long, sustained period. re-
ceived what is coming to it: third,
it would prevent industrial waste and
promote industrial honesty; fourth, So
ciety needs it and demands it. The
speaker urged doing away with long
drawn-out court proceedings, which
generally end unfairly to one side or
the other. When an injured laborer
now goes into court for damages, the
employer must pay twice what the in
jury is really worth, to allow the en-
ploye to get what is coming to him
and divide up with the lawyer. "If
we can get a compensation law that
will square with economics, then we
will have taken step in the right di
rection," for a tax on industry is mo-
necessarily finally tax on society.
LET us pay, 'he said, what WI
, ought to pay, but look first at wha
we can pay" Compensation should b,
$ squared by the exigencies of our in
/ ldustrial situation. Economic erro

B yquences now, for if you overtax indus

must pay the difference, and the cost
of living is so high now that it would
be virtually impossible for laborers to
live on a lower scale of wages.
The speaker said he approved of
reasonable compensation act that
would do its duty with due regard to
the industrys ability to pay the price,
but warned against hasty legislation.
This is a serious step" he concluded.
We must be careful how we tread
You must take care of industry. You
must take care of labor. You cannot
take care of either without taking care
of both"
Judge Stone beavers.
Judge Stone beavers, representing
the lumber manufacturers of the Lau-
rel district, told the story of the de-
velopment of compensation laws: their
origin in Germany, and their introduce
states now having such statutes opera
tive. The laws seem to conform to
growing public sentiment. The pay
ment of exorbitant fees to lawyers in
damage suits under the present system
is an economic waste, much of the
| money going to those who haven't suf
fered any injury or sustained any dam
age, and who don't deserve it.
The New Jersy act was not passed
until after an eighteen months inves
tigation of local conditions, and Other
states had also taken their time about
| it. He thought Mississippi should no
be hasty. Section 1913 of the consti
tuition, which Mr.. Terrill had declared
was violated by the Potter bill, Judge
Deavors said recognized the doctrine
