The city OF Chattanooga alone could
not shoulder the financial burden which

OIL EXCITE
MENT GROWS

Since the fact became known
that the well at the Okolona In.
dnstrial School is a small pro-
ducer of crude oil, the tempera.
ture of the people has begun to
rise and few have a real oil
fever. Already several are TAX
ing options and one nonresident
company the Pioneer Oil Com
pany, of Pittsburg. Pa, has put
men here.
Again the pump has been rails
ed to near the surface of the
standing liquid in the well and a
quantity of oil pumped off. 1t
seems that the oil enters the
well through some crevice in the
rock and rises to the to0 of
the water apd SO continues to
collect until it must be pumped
off in order to get usable water
below the oil depth.
Several wells only a little way
out have given oil indications
and at least two have been
abandoned because of the oily
condition. But while this is the
case, so far as we have been
able to learn, the oil bearing dirt
has not yet been touched, and
whatever oil has so far been
found has merely seeped from
the pool or pools somewhere
hereabouts.
DR.. Lowe, state geologist, pro-
nounced it very high grade oil
as did the geologist of-the Gulf
State Refining Company, who
accompanied DR.. Lowe here.
We understand DIR. Hand, state
chemist, says that the oil is Of
exceptionally high grade. Sever
al have spoken of the similarity
between this oil and the Penn
sylvania oil. If this is true
and the oil is as lasting as that
in Pennsylvania, 1t makes the
find of more than ordinary value.
1t is now up the people to so
lease their lands as to insure a
thorough test and either to find
the source Of these small flows
or make sure that such source is
not hereabOuts. This cannot be
done by waiting if this gener-
ton is to receive the full benefits
of the find likely to be made.
