ARMSTRONG RUN.-From gentleman
who paid the Armstrong Run oil ter
ritory a recent visit we learn the
following in regard to the wells in that
vicinity; james well No. l, is puping
25 barrels per day; james we'll No 2 is
claimed to be yielding 60 barrels, our
reporter thinks it is not yielding near
that amount; the old Jenning we'll, so
barrels; Meldeu Reservewell flowing
$50 barrels per day. This well has been
terpedoed twice. The first time il aow-
ed between three and four hundred ha.-
rels of oil and then ceased producing
entirely. A second torpedo, larger
than the first, was then exploded, and
the well again commenced to flow, it
is claimed, fully one hundred and fifty
barrels daily. Our informant counted
3S derrieks up or ia yarioas stages
of combletion. AT most Of these wells
drilling has commenced, and several
are nearly finished. All the oil pro-
duced is stored in wooden tanks at the
wells, as fast as one tank is filled an
other one being put up. This is made
necessary as there is no means Of com
munication with the A.V. r. II. across
the river, the pipe lines only running
down to the river edge. Oil operators
in that vicinity anticipate lively times
the coming spring.-Pet CeeRtre Rec

agreeable to the result of the election here
on Wednesday, having no corporate exis-

tions of fraud having been perpetrated upon
the people in securing this endorsement, the
Star of to-day says: sit is quite time the

SO freely used in behalf of the sub
sidy on election day. Not ticket was pro-
durable in opposition to the subsidy, and
the idea was industriously circulated by
the lobbyists that the scheme was feature
of the policy Of the district government,
and that to oppose it was to oppose the dis
trict government. This representation was
a bare-faced falsehood, as the district gov
ernment took no part in the matter; yet,
despite the lobby appliances, the suspicion
amongst the voters that all was not right,
exhibited itself in the fact that the vote in
favor of the subsidy fell many thousand
short of that for the loan. The project has
now to go to Congress for Endorsement, and
it is to be trusted that it will not get
through that body until the status of the,
company is investigated and it is compelled
to give proper liens to the District as secur-
