COQUILLE, Ore, Aug. 8. The Coqullle Sentinel says: "An Inform al meeting of some of the citizens of JMyrtle Point and vicinity was held Lt the office of the Myrtle Point Mill .company for the purpose of discuss ing the project of prospecting for oil 3n the vicinity of the town and on the tributaries of the Coquille river. A gentleman late of Colorado by the name of Kerns, was present, In fact the meeting was held at his recom mendation. Mr. Kerns stated that on examination ho had found evi dences that oil was under the ground rof this region and he thought there -was sufficient indication to prospect for that Important fluid. P. L. Phalen was electfd chairman of the matins pnd Orvil uodge sec retary. The latter was- appointed a comniit--f of one to see about ob taining leases of grounds for opera tion, upon which the meeting ad journed to meet at the call of the chairman. There were about a doz en persons present, or represented. PIPE IT TO COOS HAY. Mr. Kerns was well informed on the subject of oil anl oil fields, and .he confirms the expression of other geologists, as well as government reports to the effect that underlay ing Myrtle Point is a vast coal field, with its accompanying deposits of oil -and gas. He had found oil shale, and investigated the gas of the Co quille river west of town. He says the ga3 is undoubtedly natural ga and explains the difference between ithat and the gas that comes from de caying vegetation. This bursts into tlame with a little explosion when a match is applied. He thinks that If local .people will take the preliminary stejis capital will take hold and de wolop a valuable field for investment 3iere. If oil Is found in quantities ."Mr. Kern thinks that it can bo readily joiped to Coos Bay where It would be Joaded on tank steamers for ship anent. The gas bubbling up from tho .ilver has been in evidence for some time, but the lay mind does not al ways associate these phenomena with evidences of valuable deposits. If it aevelops that Myrtle Point possesses such a natural deposit It will mean the building of a city here when de velopment work shows the value of it vio- tho world. iii ii ihhii 1 1 1 h i ill iiumibi iirnnTrwiTMifrtnniiir'i" it iii rwri ,t,ti! . t ra s tfix?rtH pA-a-d 111 if ?
