important developments may

VEncouraging results at the
well near Corrallis, as well aa at
Dallas and in the Sheridan re

moters on in the Scio, Providence
and Crahtree localities, .tne scio
man continued. Geological struc
tures at Providence are said to
beTsimilar to those in . which
promising conditions have been
noted elsewhere in the valley.
Signs Encouraging
Recent developments here
again have started rumors of 'oil
. seepages and gas leaks. Gas
bubbles coming to the surface of
ponds or springs have been ob
served in many places over this
counter, for many years. Tests
show that this gas is highly in
flammable, burning with a blue
flame." Such showings are said to
be found on the John Barr farm,
the A. Randall place, tKe Perry
farm, and also at a point west of
"It is said by some that this is
marsh gas caused by the decom
- position of certain vegetation,
while others contend it is gas
coming from petroleum pools be
low. The latter theory seems to be
borne out by the report that
chemical tests of these seepages
show petroleum origin. It is
known that some of these 'gas
vents at least are located in ap
nucnt faults in the earth'a sur
face; that is, in bog-holes or
J broken ground." That on the
Peery farm is said to be under
lain with & light-colored clay sev
, eral feet in thickness.'
Coal Was Found
Well drillers at . Providence
some years ago reported encoun
tering a 4-foot bed of coal only
.25 feet below the. surface. E. R.
Gainer of Sweet Home is said to
have been in charge of the oper
ations at the time. Half a mile
farther .south Mr. Werner also is
said to have 'cut a coal vein in
digging a well and has used some
of the coal for fuel.
It is now considered likely,
from present developments in the
leasing movement, that a suffi
cient acreage wfil.be secured in
the Scio region to give the terri
tory real tryout in its gas and
oil possibilities.
