Why the- University of Illinois has liot given the area more attention is the wonder 'ox laymen students of the aborigines and geology. A survey for potential oil-bearing areas a few years ago brought the prediction that oil wealth should come out ofc a central pool area extending from the area of Du Quoin on the south to a point far north of Centralia, in the Centralia-Du Quoin anticline.
