Wealth of Waco Fields The great and historic county of MadleoQ is certainly destined to be the land of unbounded possibilities In the eastern end of the county embracing the entire north end of Waco voting precinct and extending between Mud ¬ dy and Drowning creeks is n wellde ¬ fined geological medley including an inexhaustible deposits of various clays ochres red yellow and brown and all kinds of sienna earth barites and what is deemed to be phosphate rock and if the alleged shale is genuine we can supply tilt United States in Portland cement Great slabs of iron ore are on the surface as large as barn doors chunks of lead have been picked up 95 per cent pure lead Alleged fluor spar exists in abundance Some of the veins of clay are forty teet thick and veins of white glass sand 100 per cent pure silica ro thick that it can be mined with the steam shovel if systematically worked Old salt wells mineral springs faults anticlines gas and oil abound There must have been a great upheaval here in the past N Salt was manufactured hero in the first part of the nineteenth century Stoneware and pottery have been man- ufactured ¬ since 181520 and the clay can hardly be missed It is a plain business proposition that there is enough of this clay and sand alone in sight if properly developed to vastly increase the wealth of this county Madison countys capital should be in ¬ vested in developing home resources from which there can he no doubt as to the returns Two or three different clays have re- cently ¬ been assayed by experts and pronounced to be worth 20 per ton in the ground This is undoubtedly the enchanted garden where two feet be ¬ low a hill of watermelons the poor huckster finds another farm worth from 3000 to 5000 per acre From time to time in the past some enter prising citizens realizing the value of these vast deposits have attempted to develop this valuable territory but after a trial would give up in despair because they mot with no encourage- ment ¬ from the landowners The last company formed to develop this territory Had fair prospects of suc ¬ cess but owing to dissensions caused by the location of a railroad then being built from Richmond to Irvine it aban- doned the project except C L Searcy who had so much faith in the future of this section that he erected a draintile and brick factory on the railroad and manufactured a superior draintile and brick He readily sold all that ho could make Two years since he began in conjunction with J E Donaldson to manufacture the Donaldson patent clay shingle or tileroofing which has proveda greater success They have covered a great many flno residences clurcbee etc in the cities and cannot begin to fill their orders now These shingles turn a beautiful red from one clay and white from another- It is only a matter of a short time when this tile roof will be universally used It is about as cheap as any roof and will last forever requiring no paint or repairs This industry alone would Justify the erection of a halfmillion dollar plant In this county and be highly profitable to the company The tile and shingle plant of Mr Searcys attracted the attention of our neighbor city of Lexington and some oi her moet enterprising business men some months since purchased the plant ond incorporated a large stock Company Alter the purchase they went quietly to work and practically own all the clay and oil land in the county by lease or purchase They have land that has a vein of block clay 10 to 40 it thick and very valuable They own a large deposit of china clay or kaolin that will make pottery or any kind of queeusware or works of art They have clay that will make sewsr pipe pressed brick vitrified brick in fact everything that can be made of clay Clay is more readily converted into value than any of natures prod ¬ ucts Tho thickness of the vein of white glass sand has never been found owing to the water rising but when properly drained this sand can be mined with ease and glass works will probably be located here Tho company owns the rightofway for a railroad from the present plant to the Kentucky river and lies the choice of two routes It is tho intention to build this road right away A large plant for manufactur jug vitrified and pressed brick will be erected this season and plans are now under way for a sewer pipe and pottery factory on the line of the proposed rail ¬ road In addition to the massive and val ¬ uable deposit of clays sands ochres umber sienna oxide of iron and what is deemed by experts to be ricn deposits of phosphate rock asphalt fluorspar barites cementrock lime lead and zinc all of which are so to speak in plain view the company owns anti controls as good oil prospects as can be found in the State Muddy creek from a point near J F Wagers land north to and including O W Hisles farm thence to the mouth of Drowning creek bounds what is known as prowen ter- ritory ¬ Every oil map in the country for years has Muddy creek marked as an oil territory Seven or eight well have ben drilled here and oil was struck every time Oil has been run ¬ thug out of the ground in twenty or more places for years It bubbles up in the streams and the rocks are satu ¬ rated with it The company recently began to drill on Jesse Cobbs farm and as soon as the weather opens the entire territory will be covered Every dollar realized from the sale of

    The great and historic county ofMadleoQ is certainly destined to be theland of unbounded possibilities In theeastern end of the county embracingthe entire north end of Waco votingprecinct and extending between Mud ¬dy and Drowning creeks is n wellde ¬fined geological medley including aninexhaustible deposits of various claysochres red yellow and brown and allkinds of sienna earth barites and whatis deemed to be phosphate rock and ifthe alleged shale is genuine we cansupply tilt United States in Portlandcement Great slabs of iron ore are onthe surface as large as barn doorschunks of lead have been picked up 95per cent pure lead Alleged fluor sparexists in abundance Some of the veinsof clay are forty teet thick and veinsof white glass sand 100 per cent puresilica ro thick that it can be minedwith the steam shovel if systematicallyworked Old salt wells mineral springsfaults anticlines gas and oil aboundThere must have been a great upheavalhere in the past N

    Salt was manufactured hero in thefirst part of the nineteenth centuryStoneware and pottery have been man-ufactured

    ¬

    since 181520 and the claycan hardly be missed It is a plainbusiness proposition that there isenough of this clay and sand alone insight if properly developed to vastlyincrease the wealth of this countyMadison countys capital should be in¬vested in developing home resourcesfrom which there can he no doubt as tothe returns

    Two or three different clays have re-cently

    ¬

    been assayed by experts andpronounced to be worth 20 per ton inthe ground This is undoubtedly theenchanted garden where two feet be¬low a hill of watermelons the poorhuckster finds another farm worthfrom 3000 to 5000 per acre Fromtime to time in the past some enterprising citizens realizing the value ofthese vast deposits have attempted todevelop this valuable territory butafter a trial would give up in despairbecause they mot with no encourage-ment

    ¬

    from the landownersThe last company formed to develop

    this territory Had fair prospects of suc ¬cess but owing to dissensions causedby the location of a railroad then beingbuilt from Richmond to Irvine it aban-doned the project except C L Searcywho had so much faith in the future ofthis section that he erected a draintileand brick factory on the railroad andmanufactured a superior draintile andbrick He readily sold all that hocould make Two years since he beganin conjunction with J E Donaldson tomanufacture the Donaldson patent clayshingle or tileroofing which hasproveda greater success They havecovered a great many flno residencesclurcbee etc in the cities and cannotbegin to fill their orders now Theseshingles turn a beautiful red from oneclay and white from another-

    It is only a matter of a short timewhen this tile roof will be universallyused It is about as cheap as any roofand will last forever requiring no paintor repairs This industry alone wouldJustify the erection of a halfmilliondollar plant In this county and behighly profitable to the company

    The tile and shingle plant of MrSearcys attracted the attention of ourneighbor city of Lexington and someoi her moet enterprising business mensome months since purchased theplant ond incorporated a large stockCompany Alter the purchase theywent quietly to work and practicallyown all the clay and oil land in thecounty by lease or purchase Theyhave land that has a vein of block clay10 to 40 it thick and very valuableThey own a large deposit of china clayor kaolin that will make pottery or anykind of queeusware or works of artThey have clay that will make sewsrpipe pressed brick vitrified brick infact everything that can be made ofclay Clay is more readily convertedinto value than any of natures prod ¬ucts

    Tho thickness of the vein of whiteglass sand has never been found owingto the water rising but when properlydrained this sand can be mined withease and glass works will probably belocated here Tho company owns therightofway for a railroad from thepresent plant to the Kentucky riverand lies the choice of two routes It istho intention to build this road rightaway A large plant for manufacturjug vitrified and pressed brick will beerected this season and plans are nowunder way for a sewer pipe and potteryfactory on the line of the proposed rail ¬road

    In addition to the massive and val ¬uable deposit of clays sands ochresumber sienna oxide of iron and whatis deemed by experts to be ricn depositsof phosphate rock asphalt fluorsparbarites cementrock lime lead andzinc all of which are so to speak inplain view the company owns anticontrols as good oil prospects as can befound in the State Muddy creek froma point near J F Wagers land northto and including O W Hisles farmthence to the mouth of Drowning creekbounds what is known as prowen ter-ritory

    Every oil map in the countryfor years has Muddy creek marked asan oil territory Seven or eight wellhave ben drilled here and oil wasstruck every time Oil has been run ¬thug out of the ground in twenty ormore places for years It bubbles upin the streams and the rocks are satu ¬rated with it The company recentlybegan to drill on Jesse Cobbs farmand as soon as the weather opens theentire territory will be covered
