umbrella some II yards In diameter,
and landed safely. He was three min

parachute. Previous to this test nu-
merous experiments were carried out
In France with sandbags, and the prac-

ARE HUNTING FOR OIL
NEAR RAPID C|TY,S. D.
Memories of an Early Strike
Give Hope to Prospector of
the Present.

Rapid City, S. D., Jan. 16--for the
past two or three years there has been
considerable interest displayed in this
city in oil activities in Wyoming and
number of people have made considera-
BILE money in investments there. In the
last year there has been some activity
in oil prospecting in the section between
the Black Hills and Missouri river and
within the last few days an oil rig has
been set up within five miles of Rapid
City and now 1t is drilling for oil there.
Some biologists have scoffed at the
idea that oil would be found in COM
mercial quantities east of the Black
Hills. They claim that most of the oil
to be found in that section would be
only in small pockets and would not
marketing it profitable to the pro-
ducers. But oil has been struck in that
territory, in fact on the very ground on
which drilling is now progressing.
Sam Morris 30 years ago owned a
ranch five miles down Rapid Valley
from Rapid City. He was DESTROYS OF
putting down a water well close to his
barn. He drilled to a depth of several
hundred feet and thought that he was
about to strike water when out Of the
two-inch pipe at the top of his well
shot stream of black liquid which
had a very disagreeable odor. He was
disgusted with the Job and caused the
was not thought that the black stuff
was any good, although there were
some who knew it was oil. They, how
ever, feared that it could not be COM
mercialized and so did nothing about
the matter. Seventeen years ago A. J.
Mccain formed a company and under
took to get leases on number of farms
in the vicinity Of the Morris ranch as
well as on that but found the owners
loath to give the leases. This company
finally gave up the ghost and nothing
more was done until few months ago.
Then a company composed of local
business men was formed under the
name of the Liberty Oil & Gas Develop
Ing Co., and they have now a large
acreage under lease this side of the
Black Hills in South Dakota and they
are undertaking to find the lost we'll
on the old Morris ranch, which is now
owned by Marsh Higgins. They have a
drilling outfit that is capable of going
to a depth Of 1000 feet and expect to,
make a strike that will prove this Sec
ton of the country to be an oil produc-
ing one.
In addition to this company several
other companies have leased land in
western South Dakota and near Ard.
more oil is now being pumped from one
well put down during the last year.
