thought what a grand woman
she had been. Her place in her

of those pleasant visits'; She

There are also many prominent above named fields were worked

form to the chalk that overlays
the shale beds and it is the
writer’s opinion that some of
the well formed anticlines will
produce oil and gas beyond a
reasonable doubt.
-The region south of Red Riv-
er and bordering on the Red
River channel shows that the
large high runs paralleling the
river on the south and has
built up a large shore line with
antlers running • to the * south
forming structural conditions
in various places. The small
streams that rise at the apex
of the shore line run in a south-

in Sulphur River. At the con-

at this time all formations are

looking for a great strike.
There is also a large derrick

drilling is expected to start in
a few weeks, This location is
on a choice- structure.
Having found by drilling

SEDIMENTARY ROCKS —
The largest general divisions in-
to which the sedimentary rocks
are classified are, like the small -
er divisions, based largely on;
the nature of fossil animals and
plants which they contain.
These are four: Archeozoic

L. H. Colyer, geologist, who
- has spent a year surveying
taatern Lamar Mid western Red
Biver counties, has supplied
The Times with the following
statement of his findings:
A brief report of the geology
of Lamar and Red River Coun-
ties, Texas. The writer of this
story has spent twelve months
making geological surveys' for
the purpose of determining as
. near as possible if the physical
condition of these areas would
bs favorable for the prospect-
ing for petroleum oil and nat-
ural gas. The lengthy research
has found, that geological con-
ditions in favor of finding oil
are much in evidence. Careful
study shows the soils to be of

trop Clay.
These counties are bounded
on the north. by Red River.
This analegous position is noti
accidental or coincidental, but'
prove conclusively that the sei-
mic disturbance causing Red
River to flow in a west-easterly
direction ’ (when the normal
flow should be southeast) also
caused warped conditions to the
subsurface, thus forming na-
ture’s reservoirs for oil and gas.
AUSTIN CHALK—This,form-
ation consists of a fairly thick-
bedded, impure chalk, inter-
stratified with marly beds. The
rocks are entirely ^vhite on the
surface, but their supterranean
parts have a bluish color which
they lose when dried in the air.
They . contain, frequently; nod-
ules- of pyrite. In the upper
pert of the Austin Chalk marly
and shaly beds begin to pre-
dominate. These alternate with
thick layers of chalk.-The high-
est part of the formation con-
sists entirely of bluish-yellow-
ish marls with thin beds of
limestone.
In the Red River region the
Austin Chalk is represented by
two beds: The Brownstown
Marl below and the Anona
Chalk above the lower Austin,
however, in this region the An-
ona Chalk has eroded away to
a great extent. The Browns-

The Austin Chalk is covered
by a series of laminated calcar-

whitish-yellow clay in some lo-
cal places. The Austin chalk

The structural -conditions in
these counties are very promin-
cretacious beds. This region
was made up for a considerable
depth by the great carbonifer-
ous period. » .. ____

noon at the home of Mrs. Will
Rollins with 17 members pres-
ent and three visitors, Mrs. Sue
Freeman of Detroit, Mrs. E. D.
Rodgers of Walters, Okla., and
Mrs. Grady Dickson.
It being the first meeting of
th$ new year, there seemed to
be a more spiritual inspiration
to try to do more in. the coming
year than in the past. Mrs.
Rodgers gave a very fitting de-,
votional, using Paul’s admon-
ition to forget the things that
are behind, and to press on to
the mark of high calling of
i God. A special song was sung
by Mrs. Frank Griffin and Mrs.
J. H. Crain. A business ses-
sion was held when reports of
all the different chairmen were
given and plans were discussed
for the new year.

was served by the hostess.

Oil is usually- found in sedi-
mentary rocks. Limestone has
been found that gives up oil in
commercial quantities. The re-
gion under discussion shows a
lateral condition rising a short
distance south of Red River
where folding and faulting has
taken place and it is very rea-
sonable to expect that the sands
have been Captivated and thor-
oughly housed in closures.
REGIONAL STRIKE —This
territory is placed in what is
known as the regional strike
south of Red River setting up
at Burkburnett, Texas, and runs
in an easterly course bordering
close to Red River and termin-
ating in the state of Louisiana.
On this border line there has
been five commercial oil pools
developed and with the out-
standing geological features we
expect that other pools will be
found, due mainly to the cor-
rect folding of various anti-
