the 10Th, and reached rs one day too
late for publication last week. 1t will,
however, be interesting to all who are
concerned in the Forest County Oil
Field, as it has heretofore been impos-
sible to get any reliable news from
that section. Oar correspondent writes:
The Cook, Mcclure & Co. well No.
1 is now down 1100 feet. Had good
show of oil in the first sand-the drill
lers think paying quantities. Should
they not be successful IN obtaining oil
in the third sand they Intend to test
and pump the oil struck in the first
sand.
They will commence building anoth-
er rig this week, to bo locate down
Thoms Run about one half mile east
Of the present one.
Oil men are confident Of obtaining
oil in paying quantities in this section,
and this company intend putting down
at least four wells, oil or no oil, apd
thoroughly test the county bercabouts.
There is a rig building about two
and one half miles distant from this
place, for parties in Tidioute. The
machinery aud tools are expected on
this week.
They struck oil at State Road, about
eight miles from this place. 1t was
found at q depth of about five hundred
feet. There is now three hundred feet
of oil in the we'll. Mr.. Cook went
down at the beginning of the week to
see it. His report of the well is very
favorable.
t I will keep you posted in regard to
/, any new developments in this section.
- 1--WE shall be obliged to our CORES
rondent for further favors. 1t is i'm
: possible for us to visit the various sec.
# tions now in process Of development,
t and have therefore to depend upon Ell
If ther verbal or written communications
Il We hope our friends will remember
d this, and let no chance slip of sending
J, or bringing us the news.-ED.
4 --a,-
:, 1t is noticeable now that we gen
y orally have goodly number Of stran'
gers about town. It's the suspicion o
> new oil territory that brings then
y here. Should any Of the ventures OF
h this side Of the river prove moderated
i, successful, we may expect busy tow
r. here ere long. That's what we are al
" waiting for.
lg --Diphtheria prevails to an alarm
IS ing extent in Pittsburgh and Allcghe
10 ny, and numerous deaths are reported
This community had hard time Of
last fall and winter with this terribl
'o' malady, and it would be well for ev
" erybody to look out for the first SYM
Ut toms, and have the cases attended
i'' in their start.
Va The Brookville Je0ers0njdn says
n8 at may be Of some interest to our ell
er bryo Nimrods to inform them that ii
ha woods between Troy and New Bcthl
dy hem are full Of gray and black soul
we rolls, evidently on migration TO IL
or' Beech Woods. If this be the case, '
'ts- can soon expect fewer lies and mo
'Se squirrels"
'es We observed Mr., Cornwell,
by Stoneboro in town last week, lie V
nat locking after his Dutch Hill dovelo
ments, and also looking about the OF
ces er wells in this vicinity. His time
cen so fully taken up with his Operatio
the elsewhere that he does not get he
hat very often, nor stay long when he dc
be come.
Tut Col Thomas was taken to w,
e Chester last week. His condition
I'M no worse for the journey. 1t is to
ave hoped that the change may be ben'
to cial to him.
