OIL FIELD IN GEORGIA PROMISES RIVAL TO OCTOPUS; BORING BEGINS IN FEW DA YS Jefferson County Said to Have Fine Field. • Work will begin In a few duys for the opening of a vaat oil Held In Geor gia. Oil has been discovered Ih Jef ferson county, near Louisville, which experts state is about the pureet ever found In this county, and a company which haa an Atlanta man at 111 head, has besn formed for the purpose of working the territory. The company Is known as "The Oeor. gla. Petroleum Company.” Its officers are: President, Otto O. Tague, Allan ta; vice president, William F. Little, Louisville, Oa.; secretary and treas urer, L. R. Farmer, Louisville, Qa.; dl rectors, John R. Phillips, Louisville, Go.; John F. Gilmore, Brooklyn, N. Y„ and Wright Hunter, Savannah. The first Indication of the existence of oil In this state was the finding of a spring with the crude petroleum floating on the surface. Some of this crude nil was secured from the spring and taken to Dr. Edgar Everhart, chemist to the geological aurvey of Georgia, who made nn examination of II. Dr. Everhart states that thla oil excels Texas-Corslcuno, Pennsylvania, Galicia and Baku oils In every particular Over 90 per cent -of the crude oil Is keroaene. Dr. Evernart stated that the »ll when rellhed was "clear, limpid and had Ihe characteristic odor of kero sene. If the color can be removed eaelly from the crude oil by chemical means, it would furnish a high grade Illuminating oil without any distilla tion whatever." It la aald that thla oil la much purer than tha crude oil from which John D. Rockefeller has made hie millions. Protessor S. W. McCellle, assistant state geologist, made an examination of tho geological conditions near the place where the oil was found. He ■aid: "All of the essential conditions for the occurrence of oil In commercial quantities appear to be present In the locality where the oil has been found near lx>ulavHle.” Mr. Arthur Mandell, a Pennsylvania oil expert, stated that the Indications for oil In Georgia are more pronounced than In many of the fields of the North. The company which Is to open tha oil fields has been organised under the laws of Arisons and ha. a capitalisa tion of 500,000 shares, par valuo <1 eaeh. Orders hav. been made for oil- digging apparatus. Thla Is expected to arrive at Loulavllla In a very short lime, when work In opening Georgia's first oil field will be commenced. mu COURT Cited to Appear at Valdosta and Show Cause Why Should Not Be.
