Excerpt from Outlines of the Geology, Soils and Minerals of the State of Arkansas At the outset of the undertaking it was not hoped to include in the bulletin any new contributions to the geological literature of the state, but as the work progressed much encouragement was received, especially from those high in scientific authority, and as a result there has been obtained information of the greatest value never before published. This new matter includes chapters on Petroleum and Natural Gas, one by Doctor Branner and another by Doctor Drake, the latter being accompanied by a map, showing the favorable and unfavorable areas, such as will prove a useful guide in the future for those who are in search of these minerals.
