OIL ForND IN SUGAR GROVE, PA.-Since
last spriog company has been prospect
Ing for petroleum near . stream known a,
jackson Run, 6 miles south Of Sugar Grove
village, and 10 the south: east corner Of the
township. One well has been put down to
the present depth of 420 II, But little
notice has been taken Of 1t during the pro-
gress Of drilling, as 1t was quito generally
conceded to be sort OF hazardous, wild
cat experiment. But closer investigation
and knowledge Of certain well known
facts In regard to the location and general
direction Of the olesginoas fluid conclusive.
Iy proves this well to have been scientif-
cally located with reference TO the geoiog:-
cal records Of the best producing oil dis
tricts. Operators have reduced the result
Of much experience to something very near
. science and have been principally guided
by this as 6xed fact 10 their investiga-
tions for oil. So that now one we'll in every
3 pays, where five years ago one we'll in
every 8 did not. 1t is evident from terri
tory developed that the oil extends in one
or more large veins or ''belts" in a genera,
course from the north east to south west.--
And that the different regular stratus o.,
sand rock are not at, or near water evei,
but dip in south westerly direction So
that where th third sand rock is found at
Tidioute, at the depth of from 45O to $50 IT.
according 10 the elevation of the hills, this
strata of sand rock Is found at Parkers
Landing on the river at depth of from
800 to HOO it., and nt intermediate places
in like proportion. This "belt" followed
in direct line through Oil City, Pitbvle,
Hickory and Tidoutc, places this well on
Jackson Run on the exact range with the
best producing oil territory. Mr.. Vim.
Nevins, one of the company, located this
we'll chiefly with faith in this 'belt."
The record of this well is as follows:
Mountain Sand from II # to % It.
Slate Rock from 2S I" " 50 "
Rcd [" " q. '. 50 " " 100 "
Slate " 100 lSG ''
lat Sand Rock from :, 1856 " " 200 :.
I'd " 304 H 337 60
ID 800 - " 420 90
And still Ia tho Sd sand.
In the second sand small show of oil \
was discovered and several gallons pumped
Dut with the sand pump. AT 420 feet the
present veia was struck which is now yield
ing at the ratio of about three barrels per
lay. The oil is of very superior lntri-
eating quality, guaging % by the hydro
meter, which Is said to be the heaviest oil
produced from any well in the old regions,
With but one exception. 1t has been pump
Dg ut the present rate for two weeks. A
Roberts torpedo is to be exploded in the
veil this week, when, il the supply OF oil is
lot Increased the we'll will be put down
eeper. A different opinion exists with
be Co. In regard 10 the strata of sand
7hich they are now IN. Some believe it is :
ot deep enough for the 81 sand, and con.
ldering what has been termed the 1st sand {
n the well to have been 'sstray sand" 6
bus rendering them now only in the I'd I

targets for csrlcaturists well critics to aim at
with their shafts Of rdlcule Mr. Forests 'OtheIlo"
has always held very high rank as a great Shake
spearian personstion, and some Of the scenes be
played them years ago have never been surpassed
by any actor OF our day. His performance OF the
part last night at the Walnut was not merely great
in certain scenes, but it was great and impressive
work OF from FIRST to last. In the FIRST two acts
Mr.. Forrest was dgDi6ed, calm. and noble, as
Shakespeare intended "Othello" to he. The speech
before the Senate delivered with proper empha-
sis, and piece Of reading nothing could be finer.
From dramatic point Of view 1t was too slow and
pOnderous, and indeed this fault may be imputed to
Mr. Forests manner throughout the whole Of the
first portion Of the play. Any slowness in the be-
ginning, however, was more than compensated for
in the later scenes after the jealousy OF Othello
had been fully aroused. Then Mr.. Forrest is quick
as fire, and last night all the tragic scenes were
superbly acted throughout.
