FOR S. A.
Experts Plan Examination
Of Site to Determine
Possibilities.

Calico clay, discovered Saturday by
workmen at the Olmos dam site in
Alamo Heights, may mean the birth
of new industry in San Antonio.
The rich brown clay, which bears
marble-like finish, is especially
adaptable to the making of pottery,
according to Mayor John W. Tobin
and Miss Ellen D. Schultz, supervisor
of nature study in the San Antonio
schools, to whom the earth was
shown Saturday morning.
And if the clay is found in large
enough quantities the industry will be
developed, bringing thousands of dol
lars to those who are willing to pro-
mote the project.
Early next week the mayor, Miss
Schultz, Miss Emma Gutzeit, prin-
cipal of the Thomas Nelson Page
Junior High School and a group of
pottery experts will inspect the
ground where the clay has been
found.
According to Colonel S. F. Greece
Illus, flood prevention engineer, the
valuable earth was found approx
mately So feet below the surface,
imbedded in a thick layer of rock.
The clay is moist and can be
moulded easily BY hand.
Excavation ill be started in other
places near the scene of the first find
if it is deemed practical.
If the clay is in any quantity, there
is plenty of labor in San Antonio,
with pottery making ability that can
be supplied on a moments notice,
Mayor Tobin declared.
The clay, brought to the mayors
office, was put in the museum.

INDICATES
VICTORY
Two Boxes Give s2,O5O,-
900 Issue Big MAORI
ties in Bexar Election.

With unofficial returns from only
two boxes received at the Bcxar Coun-
ty courthouse Saturday noon, indica-
tons were that the S2,O50,OO0 bond
issue for permanent county improve
ments, will carry with little opposi-
ton. Official returns from all boxes
are not expected to be in before late
Monday.
Reports from Box % at noon,
where only 20 votes had been cast,
showed that it was unanimous for the
bond issue. In Box 40 the count was
running II to I in its favor.
Although counts in other boxes were
not available, a survey showed that
the majority were giving the bond is
sue a good lead.
VOTING SLOWS.
The voting started briskly Saturday
morning but slowed up toward noon.
With Saturday afternoon a half holi-
day, however. the vote is again ex-
pectcl to become heavy.
The needs to be provided for By the
bond issue, County Judge August Nc
Closkey said, are so obvious that
there has been little opposition to the
election.
The only danger of the proposal be-
ing defeated, he said, is that those in
favor will not vote.
An early lineup at the voting boxes
indicated that a lively interest is be-
ing taken.
Should the election carry, Judge
McCloskey said, the bonds will be is
sued to bear interest at the rate ot
4 "a per cent per annum, payable
serially or otherwise as fixed by the
commissioners court.
NO TAX BOOST
For the first year after the issue of
the bonds at least, Judge McCloskey
said, it will not be necessary to in
crease the tax rate. If taxable values
in the county increase in the future as
they have in past years, he said, it is
possible the bonds can be carried on
without an increase.
The bonds must be retired in not
less than 40 years.
Judge McCloskey Saturday said he
wished it impressed on the voting
public that the present courthouse will
not be torn down.
1t is proposed to renovate the pres
ent building and remodel it and TO
construct an addition to it on lots
west of the courthouse already owned
by the county.
1t is proposed 10 use 81, 100000 of
the bond issue for the new courthouse
and enlarged Jail, 100000 for con-
structins and enlarging bridges, and
$4,000 for an institution for delin-
qucnt boys.

New Oil Field East OF Trimble

1t is stated that new oil field will
probably be opened up east of Trim
BILE as a result of striking oil on a
farm owned by Riley Morris, and
which gives indications of being a
ten-barrel day producer. In con
nection with the oil, a good showing
of gas was found Arrangements
were made to case the we'll and start
to humping. A company composed
mostly or New Straitsville men has
the territory leased and a second
well will be put down on the farm.
The first well is located about $50
yards west of the Morris residence
and about 800 yards from well
that was drilled in about rs years
ago, which made a good showing OF
oil, but was ruined by salt water.
The farm on which the well is To-
Gated was formerly owned by Riley
Lewis, who is now in California. 1t
is understood that the Logan Oil &
Gas Co. will start at once to putting
down well on some territory they
have under lease in that locality
and this may be the opening of an
entirely new oil field.
