Oil Deposits Probably viii Be

Lawrence. Kan. June 29-Proba-
bility that oil deposits in commercial
quantities will be discovered in west
ern Kansas is indicated by a survey
just completed by prominent geolo-
gists and published by the geology de-
partment of the University of Kansas
under direction of Prof. r. c. Moore,
state geologist and head of the ge-
ology department here.
The report of the survey declares
that oil deposits will be discovered at
greater depths than in the EldOrado
field, but that the structural forma-
ton of the earth is similar to that of
that of the highly productive Kansas
fields.
The present productive oil fields
of Kansas are limited to the southeast

TO date has not been found to contain
oil in commercial deposits, altho one
or two trial wells are showing favor
able prospects.
The surface rocks in western Kan
sas are mainly of the Tertiary age,
dating back several hundred thousand
years. Faults in the structure of the
earth are numerous and many are be-
heved to be deep seated, this permit

be the main source of oil in the re-

1T is believed that the area in
western Kansas lies well inside the
midcontinent structural province
where slight closures trap and hold
oil and that the condition will be
found to be similar to EIdorado, Kan,
and Gushing, Okla, in that more pro-
nounced structures will be found in

Two other boys were crossing the
railroad bridge with him, but
they claimed that they did not

passing train.
Going to the edge of the
bridge, Brown saw mans hand
protruding from the water. No
time was lost. Brown kicked on
his shoes and dived to the water
below. He got the drowning man
when he came to the top for the
third time The swimmer, John
Miller of Morgantown. was too
far gone to put up much or a
fight, but he kicked Brown in the
side and he was forced to release
his grip. Both men sank beneath
the surface, but Brown pushed the
drowning man to the surface once
more and started towing him to
the shore.
Nearly FIVE hundred bathers
watched the rescue from the
beach shore, and several started
out to help but did not reach the
two men until they were within
five feet of the shore. They were
helped into a boat at this point.
Brown had made the rescue with
long pants and shirt on, which
weighed him down considerably
