Confindent that oil shale lies
beneath the surface of San Ra-
fael valley, R. .sE O'Neil! of No
gales, has been busy the past few
weeks obtaining leases to $500
acres of land. Mr.. O'Neill has an
nounced that California and Okla
homa oil companies win start drill
ing at their own expense when
10000 acres of land have been
leased.
A meeting of land owners in
the Elgin district has been set for
2 o'clock Sunday afternoon when

hold that the field has never been
properly tested. Biologists are
said to have passed favorably or

"Jack DEMPSEY will come back

the rating if the worlds leading

than any fighter now basking in
