promising part OF that anticline The
showing of oil found in the well now
being drilled by the Texas Production
company was found below the center
of the Mancos shale at horizon where
SO far as is known, no oil has yet been
found elsewhere in Colorado or Wyom-
ing. The oil in the Rangely oil field
also is obtained from the Mancos shale,
but apparently from a horizon higher
in the formation than the oil found
in the Hamilton dome. No sandstone
su table to serve as a reservoir for oil
has been observed above the sandy
zone that lies about $50 feet above
the base of the formation and which
should therefore lie about 1850 feet
below the surface at the center of the
Hamilton dome. The most promising
sand appears to be the Dakota, which
should be found at a depth of about
4,400 feet below the surface.
The Seeping Spring Guleh dome is
near the center of T. 4 N, R. 90 W.
tbs highest part, structurally, is in
Secs. %, % and 81 of this township.
1t is about Is miles by auto road from
Craig.
This dome is on the Axial Basin
anticline, not far from its southeast
end, and it appears to be by far the
most promising part of the fold. In
fact, the combination of structural
conditions and deep erosion of the
Mancos shale over the top of the anti
cline makes this dome the most invit-
ing structural feature to the prospect
or in the part of Moffat county
mapped by Mr.. Sears party The
closure is probably about 300 feet, al
though it may be more. The Dakota
sandstone should not lie more than
5000 feet below the surface under the
center of this dcme, and the Nugget
sandstone, Of Jurassic age, should lie
less than 1000 feet deeper
Water for use in drilling would
probably have to be piped from either
Milk or Morapos creek by pipe line
. to m les long. An abundant sup
ply of fuel can be obtained from the
Mesaverde coal beds nearby.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN IN LuCn
Not Only Recovered Gun He Carried
During Four Years of Strife,
but His Canteen.

Former Governor MacCorllle OF
West Virginia, having read in the
Youths Companion the story of an
overseas veteran who found in store
where renovated army goods were for
sale the cap he had worn in France,
sends to that paper the account of an
even more remarkable coincidence
that he witnessed.
When l was governor of West Vir-
ginia in 1898, lie says, a veteran of the
Civil war came into my office to get
some information about pension mat
ters. l told him where he could find
it, and we had some talk about his
four years In the army. l told him
had taken the old army material that
was assigned to West Virginia after
the war, had got it into order and put
it where it could be seen.
took him up to the armory where
the old material was and showed it to
him. 81 carried my gum he said for
four years through the war and cut
my name on the stock, and have often
wondered what became of the old
piece
He picked up several of the old mimic
rifles. pointed them and remarked that
they seemed natural to him. After he
had picked up the third one and point
ed 1t, look Of incredulous amazement
came over his face. He handed the
gun to NE and said: Governor, here
is the gun that carried for four
years." Looking upon the stock, |
found there mt his name, his com
pany, his regiment and the name Of
his home town. He stood there with
tears in his eyes and Rugged the old
gun to his breast.
That is not all. There was a huge
pile of old army canteens. My old
canteen," he said. had my name on it
the same ms my musket." He walked
over and looked over the pile of can
teens, and with another exclamation
of surprise took up one of them.
There among the dents and knocks of
four years service was scratched his
name, residence, regiment and COM
pany.
need hardly say that the old
veteran went home hugging to his
bosom both the gun and the canteen.

"Con1e Seuen, Come ELeven"
S525952S2SS52E25SE

No, we are not playing African
golf. We are just trying to decide
how many founces we shall have
on our new Fall frock. For it is
not question this year, whether we
shall have founces, but merely how
many there will be. The lady in the
picture has decided that seven is
lucky number, and we must admit
that her faith in figures is justified.
for there is a decided elegance in
this coat-frock with its slim, grace
full, dropping lines.
The material is light grey silk
cloth from the looms at South Man
chester, Connecticut. And, by tho
way, we learn that grey is to be
much favored by the smart woman
for street costumes. Such a dress
as pictured is appropriate for morn
ing wear. By the addition of tho
very naughty white fox it becomes
eminently desirable as an afternoon
visiting or theatre costume.
Cutting on the cross has become
second nature to the couturiers this
Fall, and these founces are cut in
this manner, which gives them their
delicate flare. without the bulkiness
OF gathering. Other points worth
observing are the narrow slantinR
lapels, and the slight pull at the
waist line, to avoid the straight up
and down line. The single button
tops the serried ranks OF hounces
like watchful eye, and their con-
formity is further ensured by tho
upright and soldierly line of braid
on the right side.

Trees on Country Roads.

Dwellers in towns and cities are not
the only persons with definite duty
as to the planting of shade trees. Ru-
raj communities also have responsi-
bility in this respect, since shade is as
necessary TO country roads as to city
streets. The farmer certainly deserves
ms much us the urhanite in the way of
beauty, health and comfort.
