The essays, written originally for The

breezy comment and narration, jump

with startling abruptness.
All Of the book is good reading, but

who know the city and the persons de-

He tells intimately of the two foremost

SAYS STONE DEPOSIT
KNOWN LONG Time
State CecIogist E. N. Lowe
Writes Interesting CommUl-
nication On Suhjec%
NUMBER 20
Premier Singers and Players


That the existence of building stone
on Bear Greek In TishiminEo county
has long been known TO the authori-
ties of this state is the statement of
e. N. Lowe, State Geologist, who
writes as follows:
81 noticed in a recent issue of the
by j. H. Curtis, describing the discov-
cry of a valuable building stone on
Bear Creek, Tishomingo County.
The wording of the communication
is such as to lead one to infer that
this is a very recent discovery.
That such large deposit of very val
liable building stone should have re
NAMED undiscovered until now, after
the existence in the state af Geo
logical Survey, for more than dozen
years, would reflect materially upon
the efficiency of that survey. Hence
I write this to correct an erroneous
impression.
.'The existence of this deposit of
building stone on Bear Greek has
been we'll known to the State Geo
logcal Survey for many years. Hill
gard mentions it in his report of 1850
In Bulletin No 9 of the present Sur
vev. this rock is described as a valu-
able building stone. standing the u
sual tests most satisfactorily.
'In our Bulletin No. IA, its quail
ties as an excellent building stone are
re-asserted, and the extent of the de
post is stated We have had both
chemical and mechanical tests made
of this rock all of which prove its ex-
cellent quality. 800
"a mechanical test made in 1909.
and now on file in the office OF the
Geological Survey, shows all the tests
to which the rock was subjected, and
the results of these tests. The test
ing engineer closed his report with
the following statement:
"From consideration of the tests
reported above we should pronounce
the sandstone represented by these
samples to be very excellent grade
for building purposes.
"In our Bulletin No. 16, now IN
press tbs deposit of stone IS described
in detail, and full particulars, nclud-
ing tests, quantity, accessibility, etc,
are given.
"Any who might wish to examine
snecimen of this stone will find on
exhibition in the Museum of the State
Geological Survey, a large black
block, dressed on each face, as If to
be fitted into building.
an this communication we simply
wish to call attention to the fact that
the existence of this deposit is not a
new discovery, that the Geological
Survey of the State has not been re-
miss inoverlooking it, but has repeat
edly. in bulletins, in press reports, and
in correspondence, called attention to
this valuable resource of our state.
And this Survey stands ready to lend
any assistance to the developing com.
pany in the successful exploration Of
these deposits"

AT JACKSON, MISS.
Oil Machinery on The Grounds
And Daddy" McCullum
Will be in Charge of
Operations

The Jackson Daily Clarion-Ledger
this week printed the following story
about the oil operations going on IN
the near vicinity of Jackson:
Daddy" McCollum, who helped to
make Spindle Top in the Beaumont
oil fields, many years ago, and who
saw oil run down the cutters like
water, when the big wells were
brought in there, who was one of the
first men on the grounds at Ranger,
Wichita, and Iowa Park, shallow
fields. and who has also had a part in
the development at Homer, La, is IN
charge Of the drilling operations now
going on Just south of Jackson on the
Eltin plantation.
Mr.. McCollum was asked what he
thought of the outlook here and re-
piled: "well, / have just arrived ana
have been busy gettin the derrick up
and the machinery to going, so L nave
not had an opportunity to make much
investigation, but from what l have
heard and what l have seen here. the
outlook is very bright. l have been

of our little city and believes that
with proper push, energy and coop

In stead of wasting their time, mon

we believe it would be a wise move
for the business men to secure the
services of such a man as Mr.. Custer,
or drop the fiasco now being carried
on which has become standing joke.
