"The Bullet hi ought not to knock

said a goud friend of this paper last
night. The Bulletin quite agrees with
him and is not going to 'knock any

ference between knocking and report-

report that fact so that tho readers
may know the condition and form-their

explorations that are being made in
the western part of this state at the
present time. This will be a continu-
ation of some work that the Govern-
ment has been carrying on for. two
years which was occasioned by the
publication of a bulletin on potash in
Texas by the Bureau' of Economic Ge-
ology some years ago:
'Orby C. Wheeler has been engaged
to take charge of the work. He will
be stationed at Amarillo but will ex-
tend his observations as far south as
to Sheffield on the Pecos River.. Mr.
Wheeler is cbarged with the duty ot
reporting on all deep borings being
made in the Panhandle and the Llano
Estacado and of making tests for pot-
ash in all brines that he can seenra
from these deep borings. Companies
engaged in drilling--in this part of the
State are invited to communicate with
O. C. Wheeler Amarillo Texas so that
he may be well informed on. all deep
borings being made at the present
time. It may be to their own inter-
est to secure analyses of samples oC

BIG TANK TO COM'-IIBIA.
The Texas Company is shipping the
.Vi.OOO-barret tank which was to have
been erected here to the Columbia
field to bo used in taking care of the
big production there. This announce-
ment explains tho suspension of work
on the big tank here which has been
keeping local citizens guessing for
some time..
Some remarkable gushers have
been brought in in the Colurribia field
recently and: additional tankage is
badly needed there. Whether the re-
moval of the big tank from Brown-
wood to that field is due entirely to
this unexpected development or was
also influenced by a change in plans
of the company ns to its future op-
erations in Brownwood is not known
it is believed that production in this
immediate vicinity did not come in as
is known to increase toward: the south-
west. The natural potash content of
Kansas salt Is very small. It Is a lit-
tle larger in the western part of Okla-
homa and frequently- rises to more
than one-half per cent in Texas brines
For this reason it Is believed that the
chances for finding agricultural de-
posits of potasli are- better in Texas
than in any other State."
