20 SENIOR YEAR BOOK. BEER BORINGS IN MOMENCE. BY MAYSIE KIOUS. The beautiful city of Momence may some day be one of the great mining and oil regions of the world. If oil or any mineral should be found here, the future of Momence would be assured. The price of land would be vastly increased and all kinds of busi¬ ness would be stimulated to a surprising degree. The influx of population, also, would be considerable, and the number of houses would be largely increased. At the stone crushing plant, which is one of the chief industries of the city, ai e found large quantities of the finest limestone, suitable for building purposes. Besides the dimension stone, an immense crusher is kept constantly at work reducing the poorer grades of stone to small pieces, which are used for ballast¬ ing railroads, and for the improvement of streets and country roads in general. Over one hundred men are employed at this place, and when they are working in full force, as much as sixty car loads of crushed stone a day are produced. Where the stone crusher is now situated may some day be a lead and zinc mine. A short time ago a large piece of the ore was found and it is thought by some that it has been discovered in large quantities. The manager, however, evidently possesses the gentle art of keeping his mouth shut, as he is as “mum” as a “mousetrap” when curious visitors are about. If the ore has been discovered the stone crusher could then be abandoned for, as zinc ore sells for thirty-six dollars a ton, and the person who buys it pays the freight, the crusher and quarry would soon become items of secondary im¬ portance. Oil has been found, but at present there are no wells running. On Mr. Davis’ ranch, several months ago, oil was struck, ten barrels a day being obtain¬ ed, but the well has been abandoned for the present. In several other places men have bored for oil, but as yet none has been found. It is thought by experts that there may be a deposit of oil under the city itself, but so far no one has had the courage to invest in so deep a well. Of course there is no coal here as the limestone formation which underlies the town was above the level of the marshes while the coal was being formed.
