Not since the lingerie blouse first appeared, some ten or more years ago, has it attained such elaborate trimming as the 1919 spring models display. A charming array of tucks cleverly set in with bands of lace and ornamented with embroidery makes the sort of blouse that connoisseurs of dainty dress admire. Undoubtedly the sheer and beautiful b1ouses are to be worn more than ever.

WILL LOOK
FOR THE
OzOKERITE

Amplifying the data, given ex-
clusively in THE OASIS of recent
date, of possibility of existence of oil in
Sonora, Doctor Alonzo Cleaver an
eminent geologist located now in No
gales, tells this journal that the
particular geologist who found the
ozokerite, in the undisturbed sedimen-
tary areas of Sonora, was Col. W. F.
Blood of Oakland, California.
Ozokerite, commonly known as
mineral wax" is considered sure
surface indication of underground ex-
istence of one of the precious high
grade oils of a parafine base. Sucn
oil is valuable particularly for it's -gaso
line content, and always commands a
good price, far in excess of fuel oil
of an asphalt base.
Colonel Blood was one OF the most
eminent biologists of the entire Pa
cific Coast. He predicted develop
ment of oil where the famous Lake
view gusher came in. He was
persistently employed by the big oil
companies as umpire geologist. He
witnessed the growth of the oil in
dustry in California from few bar
rels per year to the banner oil pro-
ducing state, in the Union. However,
that production is virtually confined
to oil of low grade asphalt base,
worth around eighty cents to one dol
lar a barrel; while oil of a parafine
base, high in gasoline content, readily
brings $2.25 to $3.50 per barrel, with
a constant tendency to advance.
While the oil of the Texas Gulf
Coast region is the low grade fuel
kind, like that of. California, that
which has made famous Ranger, and
Burk-Burnett, with other parts of
North Central Texas, is the high grade
gasoline product.
Colonel Blood regretted always the
dearth of high grade oil on the Pa
cific Coast; and several years age he
commenced a painstaking search of
Sonora, in examination of oil in
dications. Upon one of his secret ex-
cursions into Sonora, during the late
war, he found ozokerite indications,
as mentioned hereinbefore; and he
was planning great things when he
sickened and died very suddenly.
Beside being warm personal
friend of Colonel Blood through many
years, Doctor Cleaver was associated
with him in his geological work, and
knew of the expeditions into Sonora.
Before Colonel died he revealed the
locality of his discovery of ozokerite
in Sonora, and invited Doctor Cleaver
to join him in projected trip; but
the colonel died before the plan could
be matured. Then the Ranger oil
boom followed closely, and Doctor
Cleaver spent year in that
phenomenal oil field of a parafine,
gasoline base.
Doctor Cleaver is now organizing
his expedition to go down the West
Coast of Mexico, to visualize further
and explore the ozokerite deposits
discovered by Colonel Blood. Also
he will look into all favorable tracts
of land and promising mining pro-
positions, so he will be prepared to
take options or deal otherwise with
any meritorious projects which come
within scope of his contemplated
operations.
He expects to be able to start upon
this argonautic trip about the frs
of next week.
