that some OF these are not III posi-
ton o.drill.
SO far as this Office is concerned, We
hope the state may secure such tests
as will prove the presence or absence
OF oil and gas, and to do SO without
cost to the state. II would seem
that persons owning land in such
places would be more ready than they
have been at Table Rock to lease to
men ready and willing to make the
tests, especially so when the interests
OF the land owners arc fully protected
in the terms OF the lease, The situa-
ton, then, is about as follows: No
drilling is yet under way, but work
will begin very soon il Mr.. Hurst Sc
cures an adequate acreage OF land at
point most desirable TO him, We do
not know how many persons taking
leases are doing so with a positive
purpose OF prospecting the antlcline.
Some OF them have the necessary
financial support to do this, yet there
may be more OF tendency than some
would think, to secure and hold leases
awaiting the result OF drillings made
by other parties and at large expense.

TRAFFIC BLOCKED
ON THE NEW BRIDGE
Roller Slips and Trains Are Not
Able to Cross for Several
Hours Monday.
TWO DOZEN TRAINS STUCK

Traffic over the Union Pacific
bridge across the Missouri river at
this point was at complete stand
still for three hours Monday night,
simply because a steel roller twelve
feet long and little more than three
inches in diamater went wrong.
During the suspension of traffic,
twenty-four passenger trains in and
out of Omaha were tied up in the
local passenger yards, or over at the
Council Bluffs transfer.
For two or three days the people
having charge of the construction of
the Union Pacifc's new bridge over the
river have been lacking up the old
structure and putting rollers under
it and on top of the piers on which
it rests, preparatory to the bridge
moving that is to occur next Sun
day noon. These rollers are Of solid
steel and are placed on steel tracks,
the weight of the bridge pressing
down upon them. When all are in
place next Sunday stationary engines
will be put to work and the old bridge
will be slid off its present foundation
and the new one pulled into posi-
ton.
Monday afternoon, while the bridge
was being lacked up and one of the
steel rollers placed under the struc-
ture, the roller i'll some manner got
into a crosswise position, throwing
the rails of the bridge out of line to
such an extent that it was not con-
sidered advisable to pass trains over.
1t was nearly 8 O'Clock before the
rails were gotten back in line and
train service was resumed.

result in benefit to that locality
and to the state at large. The land
owners attending the meeting and a
few people in the town undertook to
secure the leases for Mr.. Hurst and
Senator Kohl. To date a consider
able acreage has been leased and
quite an amount of this is blocked
out at point east of Table Rock,
Biologists representing the oil men
are at work determining the most
promising place to make the first
test drilling. Mr. Hurst agrees to
erect standard derrick and bring in
string of tools which will equip
him to drill to a depth OF 5000 feet
or more. Notwithstanding this fact
few are holding out, expecting the
lcssees to give them a bonus, c., a
payment per acre above the royalties,
as covered in the leases. This Mr..
Hurst refuse, to do, stating that no
practical oil operator would do so in
an unimproved area so .ar from a
known oil region. AS soon as it be-
came apparent that the drilling was
to be made, several parties began an
attempt to secure leases aud i: seems

Drilling for Oil and Gas at Table
Rock Under Direction of the State

both the favorable and unfavorable
aspects of the situation in our state,
We do not know positively that the
Cherokee shales which yield vast
amount Of oil and gas in Oklahoma
and Kansas extend to and under
much OF southeastern Nebraska. This
information is lacking because of the
absence of drillings. The horizon
in which these shales occur is with
out doubt found in Nebraska. Fur
Their than this we are not very posi-
tive except for the evidence secured
by drillings near our borders and a
few miles south in Kansas. Certain
other drillings to the north and north
east would cause us to believe that
the situation is not entirely promis-
ing. Though the Cherokee shales may
not occur in southeastern Nebraska
in favorable conditions, there are
other formations which might be the
source of oil or gas.
The second and most doubtful
condition is the probable presence OF
granite in this anticlne at shallow
depths, This was called to our at
tention by drillings made at Dubois,
Neb., Seneca and Zanedale, Kan. In
at least two of these the well record
as reported by the drillers is held
somewhat in doubt. Whether or not
granite was struck is not definitely
known by this Office. Professor Ha-

DR.. George E. Condra Makes
Report On Work that is
Now in Progress.
EXPERTS HAVE CHARGE
By GEORGE E. CONDRA.
director Nebraska Conservation and Sol
Survey

By GEORGE E. CONDRA.
| director Nebraska Conservation and Soil
Survey
The daily press has run articles I'M
der this title, bringing in the names
of Mr.. c. J. Hurst, who is one OF the
largest oil operators of Wyoming;
Senator Phil Kohl and the writer.
1t seems that in view OF the wide
publicity given to the probable pres
ence of oil or gas in the vicinity of
Table Rock a short statement should
be made by this office covering few
of the points involved i'll the progress
to date. A summary of these points
is about as follows:
Several years ago the writer OBJ.
served the presence of an anticline at
Table Rock. Later the different lime
stone and shale members OF the
structure were worked i'll with con-
siderable detail. and = the different
members traced to and connected up
with the formations in Kansas. The
structure was published by the Ne
braska Academy of Science and the
report has had considerable distribu-
ton This fact of the matter is that
the beds at Table Rock are OF the
same age as those in south central
Kansas. A few thin members can be
traced between two areas. The beds
at Eldorado and Augusta. Kan, are
of the same age and character as
those of southeastern Gage county,
Nebraska. With few exceptions the
anticlines prospected in Kansas show
the presence of either oil or'gas. By
anticline is meant an upward or "A"
like fold in the beds. 1t is under
such conditions that the largest num-
Der of occurrences of oil and gas
have been found in our country. So
the geologist and oil prospector is al
ways hunting for anticlines.
Soon after our report was publish
ed oil men became interested in this
location and the Office here was over
run with requests for information.
The field work had proven the con-
tinuity of beds between our state and
the oil fields of Kansas. Then, when
a prominent oil man of the north
west, Mr.. c. J. Hurst, was attracted
to the area by Senator Phil Kohl, it
became necessary for the writer to
go into the field and prove the struc-
ture relationships. This was done
some five or six weeks ago. We
drove over many of the outcrops Of
southeastern Nebraska, pointing out
the limestone and shalc members.
Then going across Kansas and zig
tagging pack and forth from east to
west we observed again and again
the same formations there as here.
Finally after reach Eldorado and 60
ing back to Eureka and then back to
Scranton, Topeka and Lawrence, Mr..
Hurst became convinced that the
statements made in our publication
were we'll founded. He saw in Ne
braska a more prominent anticline
than occurs in Kansas But while
on this trip we outlined to Mr.. Hurst

Truth in business is just asimportant

because they are untarnished, unex-

HE rs VERY OPTIMISTIC

That the interurban road project be-
tween Keokuk and Jefferson City will
be built, was the positive statement OF
H. w. Knight, the promoter of the
road, who was leaving Keokuk this
afternoon for Galloway county, Mis-
souri,, on business connected with the
project. Mr.. knight said he was tell
ing all of the towns along the right Of
way that his road would be built.
Mr.. Knight is unable at this time to
divulge who his hackers are he said
He has the backing. he says, to carry
the project through, but does not
deem 1t advisable now to state def
itely as to his hackers,
Saturday night a meeting was held
at Williamstown, Mo. There was big
crowd out, Mr.. Knight said, to meet
him. Williamstown has already raised
and paid its money. as have other
towns along the road, and Mr.. knight
felt that it was due the people OF
| Williamstown to learn Of all of the
progress made since he met with them
the last time. He told them, at this
meeting, just what was being done
along the way.
Mr.. Knight left this afternoon fol
Missouri points, having spent couple
of days here. He seemed very optim
istic over the progress Of his road.
