The existence of rock oil in Java has long been a matter of certainty, but the expenses of turning it to any paying account has, hitherto, damped the spirit of enterprise in that direction. So matters stood some half dozen years ago, when Mr. Zylker, a prospector who had come upon traces of petroleum on the east coat of Sumatra, in Langkat, found on further. inquiry signs of abundant deposits along the banks of the Lepan river. Specimens taken to Batavia scored high on chemical test and analysis. A Government party sent to the spot to prospect more thoroughly ascertained by further research more than confirmed previous accounts of the "find," and the result was a favourable official report on the Lang- Kat oil field. Mr. Zylker, armed with these credentials,
