WILL EXPLORE
FOR OIL IN
SANTACRUz
COUNTY
A Company OF Local Cap
italists Preparing to Drill
Into Known Oil Sands In
The Milestone Mountain
Region.

Some weeks ago "Tne Oasis" pub
lished an extended article conveying
information that local people in Santa
Cruz County had located very prom
Using oil field embracing $4,000 acres
or more, in the Milestone Mountain
region, over behind the Mustang
Mountains, north from Elgin, and had
made expert investigation, engaging
in that work competent and expert
enced geologist, Doctor Alonzo C,eav-
ar; and that upon his recommendation
they were preparing for systematic
and energetic exploration of the field,
which Doctor Cleaver pronounced
very promising, and we'll worth test
ing.
At that time Doctor Cleaver pre-
sented "The Oasis" some of the evil
dences he had secured Of the exist
ence Of oil measures in the Whet-
stones. To one having studied geology
and made practical application of it's
principles the evidences produced by
Doctor Cleaver were most convincing.
He found in the Whetstones tilted and
upturned strata of true oil sands, true
oil shales, the black limestone which
is so frequently base or underlying
stratum of the oil sands; and more
convincing than all he had found a
fossil sea snail, such as are associated
so frequently with the oil bearing
rocks, and even within them.
At that time Doctor Cleaver stated
to ''The Oasis" editor that without
doubt the strata he had found in the
Whetstones are true oil measures;
and that without further doubt they
had contained oil. Of course, from
the specimens he has oil has escaped
as is the tendency of all subterranean
oils and gases, unless there be a
strap" to catch it or a "seaP' to hold
it. If there be such traps and seals
in the underlying oil strata of the
iWhetstones, there are oil pools and
channels there; and, as Doctor Cleav-
er stated to "The Oasis" "there is
out one way to make the determine.

hurricane and tidal wave indicated
the disaster may possibly the worst
IN the history of the Texas coast,
since the Galveston storm of 1000.
An accurate estimate of the total

A long distance telephone message
from Corpus Christi stated that not
more than 100 persons had been
drowned in that district.
1t is generally believed that the
estimate of Brigadier General Wal
ters, of the Texas National Guard,
who went to the coast, made in a
telegram to Governor Hobby, was
oased upon unreliable information.
General Walters said there are one
thousand dead. Carefully checked re-
ports from Corpus Christi and Sinton

and that probably the total loss OF
life there will be about one hundred.

clashes occurred today between troops
and Sim Feiners at KiIlcrobane and
Balginspittle, when sOldiery and
police broke up Sim Fein meetings.
Very many were injured on both
sides, but no deaths reported. A
member of the British Parliament is
said to have ordered the meeting at
Balginspittle to disperse... He said he
did not want any of the Sinn Feiners
dubbed or bayonetted; but they de-
rided his fears, continuing their meet
ing and demonstration. The result
was just what the member predicted.
The meeting was attacked, dispersed,
with attendants both dubbed and
bayonetted.
At Ljsgoldbad band of Sim Fem
ers en- route to a meeting at Will
loisped was intercepted and turned
back, which prevented the meeting be
ing held.
The clashes reported are arousing
great deal of feeling on both sides,
and conditions are drifting into worse
situations all the time. The country
;ide seems fast drifting into a state
f anarchy, and it looks as though
very severe measures will have to be
lsed by government to maintain or
