At the Vincent place, three miles south- west of Vinton,, oil is known to exist near the surface, but its provenance has not been ascertained, neither have deeper wells thus far proved successful. Lignite of very fine quality and in large quantity has recently been uncovered in the Dolet Hills; Analyses recently made show the following average composition: Water, 32 per cent; volatile matter, 34 per cent; fixed carbon, 31 per cent; ash, 3 per cent. Thermal value with 15.2 per cent moisture is 9...883 B. T. U. The water evaporates on exposure with but little slacking in the coal. This deposit, varying in thickness from six to eight feet, covers an area of over 40,000 acres, situated between two main lines of railroad run- ning north and south. The coal can easily be mined above the intersecting branches. Wood in great quan- tities everywhere abounds and markets for the coal can easily be obtained in northern Louisiana and Texas. Geological investigations show that this formation underlies a large part of Northwestern Louisiana, with numerous outcrops from the Ouachita to the Sabine.
