Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 26.—In one of the most comprehensive and exhaustive re ports ever compiled ol' the occurence of eH in Georgia, State Geologist S. W.

Included in his report was a waruiug to icsidouts of the state to refrain from investing their funds in “fly by night” oil pro positions, and this was substantiated by u letter from Secretary of State S. G. McLendon. lu conclusion, Dr. MeCallie’a report stated: “The formation found in the section arc all crystalline, consisting princi pally of metaiuphoric granites and granite-like rocks. Such rocks as these are nowhere known ia this country 01 elsewhere to ba the source of eomninr eitil deposits of petroleum. “The analysis of oil from Dunks’ well shows it to be gasoline, a refined product, and not a crude,1-il. “The film on the surface of the wa ters from wells ure instances judging from the physical behavior actually oils. These oil-like film* lire prob ably originated from decompositions of surface organic matter and nave no re lation to nutural petroleum which is formed at depth* beneath tho surface ol' the earth. “No indication whatever was found of any designing persons having salted nay of the wells, streams, etc., with au object of deceiving the public. On the contrury, the citizen* are perfectly frank and not only willing, but ex- ttamely anxious to aid in any way pox- i„ihlO in order thut the actual facts in the ease may be brought out. “In the language of tho director of tie United States geological survey there is not a glm»t of a chance of finding eoiiimerplnl oil > r gas in that pail of the Mato.” that the amendm-nt lost by about 7,000 majority on the face of the returns, and neither the secretary of state nor the governor Ims the power under the law to declare that nn.v r‘turn wns irregular or should net he counted in the con solidation of tho vote.
