I 1 find the formation crossing the river in a northwesterly and southeasterly direction with a trend ot 15 decrees clearly defined and the form at on is freely saturated with petroleum for a considerable distance on either side of this line beginning my examination at a point aher the anticline crosses the river I 1 traced southeasterly for 15 miles ind northwesterly for over 1 miles and the same general condition of formation pro along the entire length of this line with tho pebbly conglomerate easily ds the effect of er sion has worn awa the apex of the anticline and in doea not appear on tho surface but evidence of its existence doea appear at intervals to make it quite aisy to trace I 1 also find in spots along the the antichi nal line hydro carbon float such as as and petroleum ax which ar undoubtedly the residues of an oil basin at hand I 1 also find at the differ ent springs of water the col eings of oil on the surface of neira all thebe springs inis section of
