ton has extended pretty well all the
way down from the top. The we'll is
100 feet deep and if good progress has
been made il is deeper than that this
morning. Owners of the well are not
expecting to get the Gypsy sand un-
til the depth of 2,200 feet is reached,
and it may be several weeks before
anything interesting is reported from
this we'll
The Gypsy people are drilling at
something like coo feet in 1928, and
the formations are said to be running

over in the Graham district, the
Wildcat jim has not been put to pro
ducing yet. Workmen have been
busy with the we'll for several days,
and the owners have about concluded
that the well can never be finished so
it will produce its maximum amount.
If the casing cannot be lowered any
further, it will be put on the pump,
and oil will be taken out for ire
market, and also for fuel for other
wells. The casing has been in the
well for so long n period that it is
hard to move, and it is probable that
it cannot be lowered. The owners
believe this well will produce 40 bar
rels as it is.
In section 7-2-2, north of Wildcat
Jim, drilling operations have been
resumed That well is probably 2,lO0
feet deep. Fair prices are offered for
acreage around it, and there is a de
mand for acreage. The drill is in
blue shale, and the well is likely to
reach a sand at any time.
On north of the 7-2,2 well, in 29-l-2,
the farmers have gotten up 500 acres
and have made deal with p. j.
Murphy to drill a test well. Mr..
Murphy is from Fairfield, ILL.,, and has
done some drilling north of that town
ship, and has also drilled some shall
low wells at Homer.
A report reaches here that the orig
inal well at Homer, in 9-12, in Carter
county, which is now almost 400 feet
deep, will be drilled deeper. The
well stands full of oil. but it is prob
able that the oil comes from the
shallow sand. At 500 feet in this well
the drill entered lime, and was in the
same formation when drilling was dis
continued.

HARD THING Is TO "RETURN"
Many viii Understand the Trials Of
Congressman in Taking Up His
Old Profession.

In the American Magazine is an In
terview with q member of the United
States house Of representatives, who
tells of the almost impossible barriers
between him and his old profession,
the law.
After | had been in congress a
couple of terms decided that ! would
be happier and that my family would
be vastly better off if ] were back
home practicing my profession he
said. 80 after the adjournment OF
congress | set out to rebuild my neg.
lected law business.
Il was astonished at what job 1t
was. My practice was not merely run
down or temporarily absent. 1t was
gone! Now, ! had not yet become
topnatcher in my p )fession before
going to congress. In order to make
a comfortable income ! had not been
able to depend alone on the better
grade of legal business, but was still
obliged to do some of the more trivial
work such as every young lawyer is
glad to get. This class Of business
had gone from me in my absence,
along with the rest. And 1t did not
come back, because of a reason that
| had not thought Of During my term
in congress ! had come to be looked
upon as an important figure in the
community and everybody regarded
me as above such things as perform
ing legal services of a trivial or minor
character. Thus / did not get the
small business and the big business
was being taken care of by other
lawyers who had been constantly on
the job"

Earliest Coal Mining In Alabama.

The earliest known record of the
existence of coal in Alabama was
made in 1884, but the first statement
of production in the state is contained
in the United States census report
for 1S40, in which the amount mined is
given as 946 tons. The mines of Ala
bama were probably worked to con-
siderable extent during the Civil war,
but there are no specific records until
1870, for which the United States cen
sus reports a production of 11,OOO
tons. The development of the present
great industry really began in 1881
and 1882, when attention was directed
to the large iron deposits near the city
of Birmingham. BY 1885 the coal pro-
duction of the state had increased to
nearly 100000 tons. In 1914, accord
ing to the United States Geological
survey, the production was 93,422
tons.

North of Healdton,

Much interest continues to be man
ifested in the test wells north of
Healdton, but 1t seems that operators
are waiting on the development of
the wells now drilling before any

moreite stated week ago that an
other well would be drilled in either
section II or section (Which adjoin)
but no movement has been made and
that well also may wait on the wells

NAME NATION UPON MOUNTAIN
Tiny Montenegro Has For Centuries

The Black mountain has been taken

eliminating peak Of Montenegro prop
er, the realm .of King Nicholas takes
its name, and at its eastern base mes

and one broad street, but boasting a
palace and a row of "legations"-
whitewashed cottages sandwiched be
tween the Offices of the ministers of
state. Because its northern and east

greater part of the day, the ancient
Slavs called Lovcen the Black noun

as the Country of the Black Noun

McMAN HOLDING OIL
This Company is Evidently Of Opinion
That Prices Will BE Better.

The busiest company at Healdton is
the McMan Oil company. These peo-
pie are now operating twelve rigs,
day and night. Eleven of the rigs
are operating in section 6-4-3 and in
31-G-3, in the area of the field which
has the best sands, and within six
weeks from now if no trouble is had
in drilling, the McMan people VIII
have finished their drilling in that
portion of the field. One of the rigs
is operating in section 15-4-S. where
the second well in that section IS
drilling at 900 feet.
The McMan company is not putting
oil in storage now, but is running
exclusively 10 the Magnolia line The
the Magnolia wanted oil, and the
owners of the Richards leases and
the Magnolia wante doll, and the
McMan people wanted to store oil for
a better price. A deal was made
whereby the oil being produced from
day to day was to be run to the line
and was to be taken by the Magnolia
and the McMan people were to get
an equal amount of storage oil in
exchange for the oil runs. These
people have something like A. tanks
of oil which aggregate approximately
two and a half million barrels.

a lamp chimney, from which 1t could
not free itself.
Two years ago Mr.. Groom had
caught the eel in a net at night, and
when taken on shore it knocked over
a table lamp, ran through the chimney
and escaped into the lake, the glass
inclosing the head and several inches
of the eel. Although the lake is wide,
deep and stony, the glass was not
even Clipped. The chimney had worn
