Let's have Oil Development

We are indeed sorry to learn
that the prospects for finding oil
in Mississippi are so very poor
that no person other than the
big oil concerns are warrented
IN spending money in the quest.
But that such is the case there
no longer remains a doubt, for
such information is always to be
relied upon. This has been abun-
dainty proven, for their finds
have been almost nil.
For years and years, we were
told that our state hadno mineral
resources worth while to develop.
And while iron was to be found
in small quantities in many parts
OF the state, no one thought to
and where it came from, or in
what quantities it was to be
found. This was the state of
affairs until 1912 when some in
dividuals made the discovery
that about so square miles in the
2tate carried a large deposit of
very fine ore. And it is not now
known if this is even a starter
towards what really is to be
Sound here. And this came after
the original owners had parted
company with much of the mine
Kal rights for song.
About the same thing happen
ed with relation to building
material A bulletin was issued
IN 1911, giving a report of
Structural Material of Missis-
;sippi." Along not far from
then; some brick and tile kilns
were built in this city. No
mention had been made of the
presence of fire clay anywhere
m Chickasaw county. accord
ngly, the Company ordered fire
brick from st. Louis to line some
Of their kilns but later concluded
to try some of their own dirt in
enc of them. This was found,
by actual test, to be superior to
the brick ordered from st. Louis.
Ehis fact was quite a surprise to
a government expert who was
sent here when the question Of
a cement plant was under con-
5ideration. So, too, with the
building stone. The report men
tons many different rocks
which are suitable for building
purposes, but there is not, even o
aint that the very best building
stone is to be found within the
state. This fact came out only
after an out-of-state concern
same into possession Of the
property, and it is now known
that no better stone is to be
found in the wide world than
that in the northeastern part Of
Me state.
The poil situation is, officially,
Emping along at about the same
gait. The man who dabbIes

opinion. more money than brains.

The ar rangement of the pieces on the board when play was adjourned Monday morning excited the admiration of chess experts. Rarely have two play CTS succeeded in establishing such defensive positions.
 pr. Lasker has expressed an opin- ion that his adversary Is playing "too cautiously adding that he prefers to play a somewhat risky" game in order to create more interest. Dr. Lasker has said that he does not ex- pect to attain his old fighting strength until after six or seven games have been played but he has declared that each day he has felt he was return ing to his old time form.
