PROSPECTING FOR OIL.

Mr.. s G. Hartman. in company
with Mr. r. McWilliams, the real
estate man of the city. were in Al
giers last week looking about in the
interest OF locating some oil wells
in this section. They visited the
site where the last gas we'll was
sunk near the drainage station a
few years ago and also made survey
of the ground in the vicinity of the
Algiers Land Co. and other sections
in the rear of the Naval Station. Mr..
McWilliams also made a trip down
the Grand Isle Sunday in the vi
cinity of CONCESSION. where an
oil derrick is now being erected.
Mr.. McWilliams stated that he did
not care to give out anything for
publication at the present time. that
no stock is offered for sale and that
the purpose of the investigation is
to secure oil leases and to find out
if a sufficient amount of leases can
be had to justify them in going fur
Their. He believes that several test
wells would be put down in the
vicinity of Algiers.
Mr.. S. G. Hardman is also non
commital and stated that he may
have some information to be given
out later on.

that the Navy Department is about
10 do the work

with this request and said he would
do everything possible 10 cooperate
with NE TO that end and suggested
that | write Chairman Denman OF

capacity and that once started the
yard will continue in the future"
A part Of Senator BrOussards re-
ply follows:
Mr.. Denman. chairman of the
shipping board. tells me he thinks it
/ will probably be necessary 10 have
this work done in both navy yards
and private yards. as it must be
