OIL AT SULPHUR ROCK.
Work of Boring Progressing
Satisfactory and Prospects.
Are Greatly Encouraged.
Citizens of Sulphur Rock
transacting business in Bates
ville today report the oil situ
ation in their town encouraging
and the work of boring for the
fluid progressing rapidly and
in a most satisfactory manner
For a number of years there
has existed the belief that t he
land in the vicinity of Sulphur
Rock contained a mineral sub
stance. Not until about four
years ago, however, was there
any effort made to investigate
the identity of the substance, at
which time some capital was in
terested and operations in a
small way started, parties sink
ing a well which disclosed de
velopments indicating that the
land was rich with oil. Samples
were sent to geologists, who
pronounced the soil productive
of oil proving to be of an excel
lent grade. Geologists and
assayists came to Sulphur Rock
and made investigations and
chemical analysis of the soil,
returning an encouraging re
port.
The work of development stop
ped after a short period of oper
ation four years ago, anrd not
until recent months was the
work actively resumed- One
company, composed of capital
ists residing in Indiana, are en
gaged in boring for oil now at a
point about one mile northeast
of Sulphur Rock. Many be
lieve this company to be the
Standard Oil Company under an
assumed operating name, but
reliable parties in close touch

| lively that as yet the Standard
I Oil Company has made no effort
| to obtain land in this section.
! Another company, composed
of parties of Sulphur Rock and
j Little Rock, are actively engag
ed in the search for oil near the
place where the above named
concern is operating independ
jently of each other. The capi
tal said to be invested by both
companies totals about twenty
thousand dollars.
The major portion of this is
invested by the local company,
who have sunk three wells. The
Indiana people are at work on
their first effort. A depth of
j about five hundred feet has been
! reached by each company. Some
coal has been struck, but it is
not believed to exist in paying
Jquantities. It is left for future
development to determine whe
ther the oil will be found in
| large quantities, but it is the
! belief that the work now in pro
gress will result successfully,
j Two drilling machines, one by
j each company, are being oper
ated day and night, and a
1 twelve men are employed- Leas
j es on land have been taken in a
bout the amount of five thous
jand acres- This land extends
‘east of Sulphur Rock to a point
five miles east of Batesville.
The two companies are reluc
jtant to release any information
relative to their operations,
I which is quite natural, but it is
.believed that soon there will be
■some telling and decisive de
velopments as to the extensive
ness of the true value of oil
Hands of this sction, and that
then true conditions will be
made public.
As an instance to verify the
reports of geologists that the
oil exists at the seat of present
operations, citizens of Sulphur
Rock have succeeded in igniting
the substance which is obtained
from the wells now being bored.
These parties placed a quatntity
of the substance on a stick to
which they applied a match,
producing a distinct blaze simi
lar to the ignition of tar. —

Publicity Would Have Prevented
This.
Those shippers and consumers
who have business with the ex
press companies were astonished
early in July to find that express
rates had been generally raised
in Arkansas BY AUTHORITY
OF THE ARKANSAS RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION,
j In many cases the advance
ranges from 40 to 90 per cent.
In a majority of cases the a d
vance was outrageous, and
shippers and consumers general
ly believe that the old rata was 1
amply high.
The rate from Little Rock to
Alma was increased from $100
to $1.40 per hundred, an ad-1
vance of 40 per cent,
The rate from Little Rock to i
Altheimer was increased from
j-50 to 90 cents per hundred, an
advance of 80 per cent
The rate from Little Rock to i
Atkins was increased from 60 j
to 90 cents per hundred, an ad
vance of 50 per cent.
The rate from Little Rock to
Beebe was increased from 40 to i
90 cents per hundred, an ad
vance of 125 per cent.
The rate from Little Rock to |
Forrest City was increased from ;
75 cents to $1.40 per hundred, j
an advance of 86 per cent.
1 The above are only a few of |
the hundreds of instances of ex
horbitant and outrageous in
ripooonci vxrl-iinli wrckvc* villi' in in
feet July 1st BY AUTHORITY
OF THE ARKANSAS RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION.
The people were given no no- |
tice.
Had the proposed rates been
published and shippers and con
sumers been given an opportun
ity to be heard, no doubt a
[storm of protest would have re
sulted and this outrage prevent
ed- But the public didn't know
until they began paying the new
, rates
j Act No- 3, now before the peo-.
pie for adoption or rejection at
the Sept, election, provides for
the publication in at least one
-newspaper in every county in
The state of all general orders
! of the Railroad Commissio
i There are those who say this
! will be an unnecessary expense.
! But haven’t the people a right
j to know what is going on in mat
iters that concern them so vital
! ly as freight and express rates ?
| Haven’t the people a right to be
[put on notice and given an op
portunity to protest and, if pos
sible, prevent the promulgation
and enforcement of such an or
der?
The order of the railroad com
mission putting this increase in
to effect would consume approx
imately eight squares and cost
the state $4.00 per county.
Don’t you think the opportunity
that would have been presented
to the people would have justi
fied this expense of $4.00 per
county?
Safety Iw Friendship.
An Intimate friendship is' at once

enjoyment, for a man thinks twice be

which he knows his best friend would

In work or business, or even play. r.
man does not willingly lag behind
while the friend is forging aheau ii
