Even humble Gib bon, which boar ts modestly and just ly of having Uie finest little tourist , park in the state has taken a flyer at oil. Why not Kearney? Why not? Of course it comes high It's a game of big stakes, no limit. But then there is a prospect and an oil prospect means prospecting. In terms of dollars and cents it depends entirely upon how deep you want to go, into your jeans and into the earth. Natives have becomo all excited within the past few days over a dis covery of oil In Kearney. Lately some evidences of It have been found at tho Herbert gravel pit. It is un questionably oil. Further traces aro to be found along the entire length of the Walker channel, for miles both east and west of Central Ave. Farmers havo seen evidences of it from time to time, looked It over and then went about tho business of the day, raising corn to raise hogs to raise money to lift the family mort gage. But ever so often there comes a time to havo a lllng at flcklo for tune and may bo tho time is at hand. Within the past two days as many oil experts, working their scientific knowledgo or the divining rod, have examined lands in and about tho Herbert gravel pit. They both agree oil was evidence there, ono folt certain it would bo found In abund ance at thirty-two hundred feet down. Ho estimated a pocket exist ed there somewhere, ono that would ; yield untold wealth if tapped. Tap- ping sounds simple and is not a very complicated matter, except in dollars and cents.
