Allen County Field and
Gives Impressions of

With the return yesterday of several

Kentucky in the vicinity of Scottsville
was brushed aside. The consensus of
opinion was that the trip had been well
worth the while and that while Texas
might boast of its gushers Kentucky

Among the Birmingham citizens visit
ing the Allen county, Kentucky, oil fields
and who returned yesterday from their
inspection trip were: George B. Tarrant,
Knox Conville. G. B. Mccormack, -Jr.,
and Richard F. Lussier Other Birming-
ham citizens who remained in the field
were Charles NJ. Green, Walter Durand,
Thomas H. Alternately, w. G. Tyler and
Newton O. Tyler.
Regarding Impressions gathered from
the Kentucky trip, Mr.. Tarrant stated
that undoubtedly the fields of southern
Kentucky and northsrn( Tennessee were
well worth the investigation of any in
terested persons. There was oil in Ken

est doubt. asserted Mr.. Tarrant.
1T impressed me, - said Mr.. Tarrant,

that are not on proven territory are ~

is a quick turnover and the fortunate

is a dry l~-e, there is no great loss as IN

is that a small syndicate will gather up

accounts for the many sales in leases,
