Fall River, Mass, March 12-With the closed shop eliminated from their demands, firemen in the textile mills in this city remained on strike today, insisting on an eight hour day.

EI Paso district
Tertiary system - According 20
Hager. most Of the California oil is
ever, as the California deposits are
all near the sea coast or sea level,
this can hardly be taken as favor
able indication as affecting the III
Paso district. Sea level, or the
proximity Of the sea, undoubtedly has
some influence on oil accumulation
We might set this down as possible
but not probably.
Cretaeeous System More Encouraging.
Cretaceous system-Now this looks
more encouraging. From HagerS
tables We learn that most, II not ali
the oil deposits Of the Rocky noun
tain plateauX states Colorado and
Wyoming) are found in strata be
longing to the cretaceous age. Also
certain California fields (Coalinga)i
North Dakota and Corsicana, Texas
AS the FL Paso district forms part OF
the Rocky mountain plateau, it Is
prObab bly, that It's geological history
resembles more or less that OF other
parts Of the plateau and that the
stratas that produce oil there, would
produce oil here
CarboniferouS systematic rocks or
this system are great oil producers IN
those districts where the system IS
represented by stratified shales, sand
stones, sands, limerick, etc, but IN
the FL PasO district this system as Tar
as definitely known is represented
only by a massive limestone
However. as has already been
stated, the sequence or contact be-
tween this and the everything cretac-
eous stratas is concealed, and Whlle
the reasons are too lengthy 10 pc
given here, it Is highly probable the
system is further represented by
other stratas, possibly sandstones,
shales. etc. on top OF the massive
limestone (of the Pennsylvania series)
above mentioned and that these may
contain oil
All Of the formations we have been
discussing are Of sedimentary origin
In this connection let US again quote
Hager:
'OI occurs IN sedimentary rocks.
Igneous rocks do not contain oil. II
igneous formations are known TO exist,
eliminate such regions from consider
alton except where volcanic necks or
plugs lift the formation to form IA
vorabIe structures for the accumula-
ton Of oil, as in Mexico and probably
Texas. SandstOnes, sands. shales and
coarse dolomitic limestones should be
sought as favorable reservoirs for
oil"
Have All In FL PasO District.
Now we have all Of these IN the e.
PasO district. It IS true we have the
igneous rocks also. But even these
have served a good purpose as will be
shown In the vicinity of The Pass
there are many hills Of igneous rock,
the Smelter range Mt Muleros across
the river from Courchesne's and
others west OF the river in old Mexico.
These hills are composed OF Andesite
prophyry and according to the geol-
ogists, were thrust up through the
sedimentary strata by volcanic action,
bringing TO the surface, in their up
ward movement, many fragments de-
tached from the cretaceous rocks (oil

PERMITS NECESSARY TO
HANDLE EXPLOSIVES NOW

San Antonio. Tex. Feb. 5.-Striot
enforcement OF the law passed by con-
gress regulating the buying, selling
and handling OF explosives. is to be
begun at once, according TO Charles
B. Waters, federal explosives inspec-
tor, whose headquarters are at san
Antonio. The explosives law IS very
stringent; and no person, firm. or cor
poration can buy, sell, distribute, or
have in possession, any kind OF ex-
plosives without q direct federal IL
cense or permit. The object OF the
law, inspector Waters states, is to
enable the government to keep a rec
ord OF every transaction iE-olving the
purchase or sale Of explosives. to the
end that these explosives may not fan
into the hands Of irresponsible per-
sons, who may use them 10 the detri-
ment OF the country.
There are three main classes Of IL
censes that viii have to be procured
in Texas. these being vendors, pur-
chasers', and foreman's licenses. In
other words, the buyer as well as the
seller, together with anyone who sub
sequently handles or uses explosives.
must have a permit to do So Inspector
Waters has organized the state OF
Texas and has made practically all ar
rangements for the convenience CT
those who have to procure any form
Of license or permit to handle explo-
sives.
It is the duty OF every. person, firm
or corporation in Texas, inspector
Waters states. to ascertain the
agency in his vicinity charged with
the duty OF receiving applications for
permits. In the larger number OF in
stances these agencies are the county
clerks, though in other cases the
county judges, the justices OF the
peace; and even in some cases bank
ers and business men have been au-
thorized to receive the applications.
Until such application has been made
and acted upon favOrably, no one Is
permitted to buy. sell or use explo-
sives.
No person. under this law may buy
or sell or handle explosives unless he
is a full citizen OF the United States,
either native born or naturaliZed-
Even in the case Of American citt-
zens any license or permit heretofore
issued may be revoked by the United
States director OF mines, at Washing
ton, whenever circumstances or facts
point to the disloyalty Of the person,
firm OF corporation thus licensed.
