had little faith lu any permanent or deep-
Heated supply, and have always sought to
check enthusiasm utton this point, out
had formed my opinions orlglually upon
what, I must confen-, was very superficial
knowledge of Illinois geology. A residence
of nearly two years w ithin Its borders, en
gaged In a pursuit whicli has brought me
lace to lace with these problems lu their
practical aspects, has made a radical change
In my views. .
I'erhans the facts may not be too famll
lar to you all, and they may here be briefly
rehearsed. Keferiinif to the geological
map of Illinois prepared liy Dr. Wort lien,
you will observe several lines of outcrop
across the slate, wuicu uuucaie me u.wo ui
low anticlinal, ulthough some familiarity
with the geology of the region Is necessary
la order to dearly understand the signifi
cance of the trends. The overlying drift
deixwits have very much obscured the su
perstructure, and we cannot alllrin that our
knowledge Is iy any means accurate, i. n
til all the scattered records of borings have
been 'collected and much more Held work
has been done, based upon strictly accurate
topographical surveys, we shall be at a loss
how to deline the real boundaries of our
gas belts. iSut enough is known to make
a general estimate of the character and p
sltiou of the more promiueut areas.
Starting at the southeast corner of the
state, and passlug mrthward, we soon come
upon the culminating point ol a prominent
axis, .walch crosses the Oulo river near
Nhawneutowu und the Mississippi near
Iiald lilulT, In Jackson couuty. Along this
line In Jackson, Williamson, saline anil
Ualhitln counties, the conditions for the
production of oil and gas were prevalent,
but the lower strata have heeu tilted so
much, and thus exposed, that 'he prospects
of discovering valuable deposits or this im
ture are not very great northward In Frank
lin, Hamilton, White and i'errv counties,
the chances would seem to lie better,
unless deep borings shall reveal a condi
tion of things not suspected. In all this re
glon salt springs are rather common, and
there Is much reason to hone that thorough
exploration will yield favorable results In
gas, although the statement must not be re
garded as certain In the absence of a clear
Insight into the geological structure. 8o
far as can be judged from our present
knowledge, there Is not a very promising
outlook tor the next two or three tiers ot
counties northward, unless it be In wells of
ery great depth, but there seems to be an
other axis, approximately parallel (but
probably turning farther northward at Its
eastern end), which passes across the coun
try between Alton and Terre Haute in a
course n t yet fully determined. We must
not commit ourselves too rigidly to this no
tion, for the facts are quite limited iixu
which it Is based. But we have evidence
of another prominent a us, presumably ot
cupleu iy a fault, extending from the
northwestern corner of Illinois In a verv

the towns of La Halle, I rbana and Paris.
crossing the Indiana hoe a little southwest
of Terre Haute. North of La Halle, the

Turning now to the actual discoveries
nd their te tellings we find that as early as
8l the fust discovery of oil or gas In Illi
nois was made about live miles nortn-west
I'rbana, Champaign county. In digging
or w ater, gas w as encountered at a uepiu

This is uiion the larm of 11. J. Dunlap,
present editor of the Champaign (Jarrttt,
and. like the first one mentioned, Is still
used for household purposes. iMtice mat
date several similar wells, none over ninety
feet in depth, all in the drift deposits, have
been struck In Champaign and adjoining
counties. The pressure per square men is
about :() pounds or less. All these wells,
besides numerous o'her inner lnuicaiums
if the presence ot natural gas, lie along
he La Salle Tene Haute axis previously
indicated, and all other reports which have
reached lue seem to bring the discoveries
wholly within the range ot this and what I
have roughly uonunaieu me aiuiu ieno
Haute axis.
Petroleum (heavv lubricating oil) and
abundant supplies of gas have been discov
ered at Litchfield, Montgomery county,
and very uu dl amounts of the foimer have
been taken rrcm a mine at aiattoon. i m

Mr. John Fulton, of Johnstown, Pa., colled
attention to the prevalence of this gas lu

that this was an indication of the existence

noses. In his imoer he cleurly snoweu
the exotic, origin of the gis, and there Is no
little doubt that our Biionlles of this mater
ial do not come directly from the coal.
More than this, the mines of lllluoH lu
which tire-damn does not occur are in ills
trlcts which give no hope of yielding sup
idles of natural gas, and my own onserva
tions convince nie that the greatest amounts
of firedamp are irlven of over the area
herein Indicated as the most favorable for
our numoses. 1 Have met this gas ai oui
ney, Champaign county, at the aepui 01
;(;.) feet, Hiid it iK-curs frequently in otuer
nla es. as at Purl. Marshallviiie, etc , even
when unsuspected bv the miners, as has
beHti shown more than once of late.
Manv still hold to the Idea that the de
imihUs alomr the La Salle-Terie Haute axis
are ueailv local, being derived from the de
composition of a bed of peat some 00 feet
below the surface. This explanation was
satisfactory to mvself until l had Investl
gated the facts. Now 1 am fully convinced
that this view Is quite untenable, and for
the following reasons:
First, the pressure ol the gas increases
after passing below the peat led, and it
has been found at much greater depths.
Secondly, there nre considerable local
variations in the character of the peat (from
mere black soli to veritable peatj and there
are no corresponding variations In the
quantify of the gas, but sometimes there Is
no gas where the eiit occurs, aud a great
abundance where the common soil is
found.
Thirdly, the gas follows structural lines
in the strata beneath the drift rather than
the hs'al distribution of the pent bed.
Many minor features of denudation
aud subsequent deposition are only partly
worked out In the state, hence we are much
more liable to be correct In stating where
gas cannct be found than In eur tavored lo
calities.
In the water works well at Urbana, gas
is evident, and Its abu .. lance Is variable,
depending largely upon conditions of at
mospheric pressure. IS ear 1'axton there is
peculiar small area of spouting wells.
which has never been satisfactorily ex
plained. 1 see tn reason to doubt that gas
is the propelling power, and very llaely a
similar cause nave rise to the almost Irre
pressible Iowa fountain, which created the
great sensation some mouths ago.
Since taking up this subject many lacts
have come 1 1 my knowledge, and the
strongest support to the views here es
pressed is found In the almost unanimous
correspondence of new discoveries with
the predictions as to locality. Many wells
are projected in the most promoslng fields,
anl we may soon hope to know much more
than we do uow. The state of Illinois can
well afford the most liberal expenditures
upon such Investigations as have already
been made In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ken
tuck and other states. Meanwhile every
well authenticated fact is of value, and the
earnestly requests that he may be favored
with such details as may come within the
observation of the members of this society
I am Indebted to some of you already. The
facts are, of course, much more numerous
than those here quoted, but their lesson is
same, aud it will not be necessary to give
them In detail. Gas has been reported
from almoHt every county along the two
prloclpil axes of uplift, although but little
use has lieen made of It as yet, except In
Champaign aud Montgomery counties. At
Litchfield It exerts very high pressure, and
Its utlllz Ulon Is quite tiinrougti. There Is
noreas m why orner tiwos sli ml I n ' be
supplied from home sources, and it Is prob
able that manufacturers In the larges: cit
ies will event u illy be able to avail them
selves of the accumulations In the cen'ral
portion of the state by means of pipe lines.
Those who show the greitest z l and en
terprise lo the matter will reap the richest
reward. Judicium bo lni$ near 1'rban
will most probably be s iccessful, but It will
be necessary to tterfurtn the work careful
ly, to exclude water as much as possible
from subterrsnein sources, and to preserve
records, giving s'rlct attention to every de
tail, that nothing m y be overlooked.

RUSHING TO DEATH
in the attempt to swim the Niagara
Whirlpool Rapids is no more reckless or
dangerous than to tritle with disease
which each day secures a stronger hold
and hastens the end of life. This is
specially true of rheumastism, neuralgia,
sciatica," and nervous headache, which
though perhaps slight at first are extreme
ly dangerous, and steadily secure a firmer
grip until at last the agony is unendurable
ami sudden death brings relief.
These diseases can be cured by the use
of Athlophoros which, in connection with
Athlophoros Pills, never fails when prop
erly used. Read the following from those
who have tested it.
J. A. Kilner, of J. A. and W. L. Kilner,
druggists, Mattoon, 111., suys: "My rheu
matism atlected nie all over. Every nerve,
muscle and joint was full of pain. I could
not move hand or foot, not even bear the
weight of a sheet over me. ( hie night my
father came in the house and said, ' Why
don't vou trv Athlophoros? ' I had already
tried "about everything I could think of,
without getting any relief whatever.
That night about ten o'clock I took the
Crt dose nf At hlotilioros. The next day
at noon I was out of the house. It did its
work the quicker of anything I ever heard
of. I consider it a very valuable remedy,
and could I not get another I would not
take one thousand ($1,000) for a bottle of
it. Since my cure I have recommended it
to manv, both for rheumatism and neural
gia, anil it has always proven the same.
One extreme case of neuralgia, where tho
lady had suffered over a year and the dis
ease resisted the strongest medicine and
the treatment of oneof the best physicians,
was completely cured with two and a half
bottles of Athiophoros.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be botiiibt of the druggist the Athlo
phoros Co., 112 Wall St., New York, will
send either (carriage paid) on receipt of
regular price, which is $1.C0 per bottle
for Athlophoros and 30c. for Pills.
For liver and Widtiev diseases, dyspepsia. In
digestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases
of women, ism-tlpatlon. headache. Impure
l-lood, A.C Athloiihoros Tills are unequafed. S
