Big Companies Secure
Acreage In New Field

According to report on the streets
here yesterday afternoon represents
atives Of the Ohio Oil Company, the
Standard OIL Company and the Humble
Oil and Gas Company have secured
acreage In the new Bellevue oil field.
This doubtless means that develop
ments by these big companies win soon
follow. 1t il true the latest Roy test
In the southwest quarter Of northeast
quarter Of section 15-19-11-is still
being drilled, and perhaps will not
prove a producer, but 1t Is likely these
experienced oil men have already seen
enough to prompt them to undertake
developments. Also, we very much
doubt IL acreage can be secured any
where near the discovery well, unless
the lease carries drilling clause.
The owners Of the 4O-acre Caddo-
Bossier Gun Club tract have leased
half the tract for 10000, with a drill
ing clause incorporated in the lease,
operations to begin as soon as oil IL
marketed from the discovery well and
the Wyche well. This last named well
is something more than quarter mile
east of the discovery well, In the north
west corner OF northwest quarter Of
northwest quarter Of section 14-1911.
The lease Is to Houston, Texas, cap
ftalists.
The depth reached in the prospect
well three miles to the northeast OF
Benton southern portion of section
1920 IBIS 20O1 to 20O4 feet. Tues
day, as the result Of test, consider
able oil was bailed from the hole.
Yesterday, according to report, 1t was
bailed dry. The drillers will go deeper.
The pay dirt" is expected4 right
around the 2OJO-foot depth.
Drilling is under way by the Atlantic
Oil Producing Company at the Bo1inger
No. / site-in section 21-22-13, a half
mile southwest Of the original Plain
Dealing well, which made 1000 barrels
Of oil for ten days and then quit. The
promoters have stated they intend to
make thorough test OF the district.
and to this end plan to set 200 feet Of
125a-inch surface casing, 260O feet Of
sA inch casing and 5000 feet Of GA
inch casing.
| Mr.. ]. A. Byrd, reading three miles
to the east of Benton, leased one day
this week lao acres In section 22-2O-13
for 5000. Other considerations, II
any. were not given to the reporter.
The lease was taken BY the Ohio Oil
Company. The acreage joins that on
which Benton's present test well Is
heated.
Another big gasser was brought In
Monday In the Elm Grove (South Bos-
sier) district. 1t is from the shallow
gas sand and the wells depth Ia given
as s31 feet and 1t is said to be making
20,OOO.OO0 feet Of gas. The well Is
known as No. MOntgomery--in sec
tion 1S-16-11. 1t is three quarters of
a mile west of Giddens No. /, completed
about month ago king 1900 600
feet OF gas at $40 feet.

DEDICATED BY THE
CHILDREN OF DIXIE
Men and Women Of the South Flock
to the Confederacy,s First
Home in Montgomery

Montgomery, June 3.-The first
White House of the Confederacy was
dedicated here today by the sons and
and daughters of Dixie. Many Con-
federate veterans were in the throng
which attended the ceremony, formal
~ setting aside the home in which
Jefferson Davis first took up hrs abode
as president of the Confederate States
of America. Senator Pat Harrison of
Mississippi was the principal speaker.
Other exercises are set for tonight
at hotel located on the spot where
Davis held his first cabinet meeting
and where the decision was reached
to fire on Fort Sumter. The dedica-
tion and reopening of the historic
building brought to a successful con-
clusion the efforts of Southern wom-
en- who since 1919 have sought to OBJ
tain financial means of preserving
what they hope viii become one of
the two or three principal shrines of
the old South.
The mansion today presented an ap-
pearance said to be very similar to
that of the days when Varina Howell
Davis was the hostess. The various
rooms of the mansion have been re-
stored to the state of those days in
sofar as possible.

OCALA AGENTS FOR
THE CADILLAC CARS

Messrs. D. E. McIver and r. R.
Carroll yesterday contracted with Mr..
Henry Davis. sales manager for Mr..
Claude Nolan of Jacksonville, distri-
butor for Florida and South Georgia
for the Cadillac automobiles, to
handle the Cadillac in Marion, Levy
and Citrus counties.
Two of the latest type of seven
passenger Cadillacs will be driven
in from Jacksonville Monday and will
be on display at Ocala.
This is the first time the Cadillac
has been represented in Ocala in al
most ten years, at which time Knight
& Lang had the agency. For num-
Der of years the Cadillac has been
handled at retail entirely out of Jack
sonville by Mr.. Nolan, as he did not
have enough cars to justify the es-
tablishment of agencies. Recently the
great Cadillac factories have greatly
increased their production. and at the
same time Mr.. Nolan acquired the
South Florida territory, which has
heretofore been handled at Tampa,
and now ha sa limited number of
cars to allot to agencies over the
state and Mr.. Davis has for some
weeks been establishing few agen-
cies at the principal points.
With the opening of Cadillac
agency in Ocala Mr.. McIver and Mr..
Carroll feel that they can place a
number of these fine cars in the ter
ritory each year,
Mr.. McIver has also bought a Cad
lilac for his private use.
