Myer's coal office Saturday night and ransacked every drawer and pigeonhole for something val- uable. The safe was mot locked and there was no maney for them, 20 they got a dry haul, They took Local Operators Confident That Five Hundred Feet Iurther Will Prove That They Have a a Athens—The meeting of the, Athens Mining and Developmen Company at the Stimson Sa Saturday night was most satisfac- another meeting to take place at the vacant storeroom in the Stim- son House block tomorrow even. ing to which they desire everybody | $ to come. The work has now reached a stage where it must stop and all of the money expended must go for naught unless mare stock can be sold. The drill is down two thous- and feet and the sand rock is reached that gives almost positive assurance that there is oil or gas in paying quantities in that vicinity. The operators state that they must go 500 feet farther in order to make a thorough test, and_for this pur pose they must raise $600 more. At the Saturday evening meeting the contractors were present and explained the situation, after which $300 was subscribed. Some of the members of the company present were in favor of raising enough to go 2,700 feet, but the additional 200 feet in depth will cost at the ratc of $2 per foot and the con- tractors think that it will not be necessary. It is thought that at the depth of 2,500 feet they will find the strata that will determine the success of the enterprise. If a valuable deposit is developed in this vicinity it will enrich this 3} whole valley, and every person re- siding here “will reap the benefit, The company has exercised a most commendable spirit of enterprise in assuming the risk of going thus far, and it would seem that their work should be appreciated enough to secure the balance of money needed in order to thoroughly de termine whether the expenditures made thus far shall all be last for lack of a small sum to carry this work to a final completion. Every one is invited to attend this meeting for Tuesday evening. Fall of Great Trees. There is something like a sense of the tragic in the fall of majestic trees.
