''Si Plunk ard," Marie Corelli's, Thelma," Fanny Rice," J. H. LaPearls combination, "Si Stebbins,' "The Deemster," "Where the Laugh Comes in," "The Wall Street Brokers.' and "A Breezy Time.'' Most of these companies, carry their own music and many of them are already known in Plymouth, Concerning: Gas. (From South Bend Tribune.) Indianapolis, June 24. State Geologist W. S. Blatchley gives the opinion that there 13 a huge reservoir of undiscovered oil somewhere io the bowefc of the earth in northern Indiana and while
he thinks that sooner or later it will bn
discovered and somebody vill get rich he says the people of St. Joseph county have little to hope for aloDg this line. -
"I think' said he, "that the chances
for finding oil in paying quantities in the neighborhood of South Bend are
very slim, Any oil that might be found
near South Bend would be of the same quality as that found at Medaryville, Jasper county, in the corniferous limestone. The Medaryville oil is good for lubricating purposes, but is too thick to
make good illuminant. There isno oil io the vicinity of South Bend, or very
little at most, neither is there any nat
ural gas. Should any oil be discovered
at Argosit will be of the corniferous limestone variety. Ihere are but three places in the state where this kind of
oil is now found Terre Haute, Loogootee and Medaryville. Tht ordinary commercial petroleum comi3 from Trenton rock.
"The main body of residual oil is etil 1
left in the gas belt, While over 32,000,
000 barrels of oil have been taken from the earth in Indiana in the last 10 years, oaly a relatively small portion ot the gas
field has yielded oil and I am satisfied that in time more than, half of th& field
w'll be oil-producing territory. My
opinion is that this body of oil will be
discovered in Grant, Madison and Del-
aware count?s especially. I have no expectation that gas or oil will be found in paying quantities at Berrien Springs, Mich., where there is oil excitement at present, ' Where to Celebrate the Fourth. The only place in Northern Indiana where the Fourth of July wili be celej brated formally is at the enterprising city of Mishawaka. where a successful celebration id assured. 1 Among the numerous attractions offered er?: a monster parade, bicycle and other races, orations, eprts,ball game, balloon ascension, illum nated bicycle parade, and a magnificent display of fire works. Special trains on all roads, special coaches 00 regular trails, reduced rates. 32 tl Hay Alleman, of Blue Earth, Minn., one of Plymouth's old boye, is here for a summer visit.
