Foreword
Failure of the legislature to provide funds for the maintenance of the Kansas Geological Survey has seriously curtailed the investigation of the state's mineral resources. The following report on the oil and gas resources of Anderson County was written by Mr. Homer H. Charles, consulting geologist, of Garnett, Kan. The field investigation which forms the basis for the report and the office work, including the very creditable but laborious drafting, were performed by him without compensation. The Geological Survey is extremely grateful to Mr. Charles and to his employers for the opportunity to include this report among its publications.
