Oil Notes.

IF we except the we'll on the Cooper
tract, Howe township, which is Just
now puzzling the operators and produ-
GERS, and is, in fact, the most imports
ant venture of the whole oil region at
the present, we have nothing Of i'm
portauce concerning developements to
record this week.
Drilling at the wells reported last
week, that is Cornwell's at Root q
Watson's mills, aud the Balltown, is
progressing steadily. Grove, Hart q
Co. expect to start the drill again on
their Beaver Valley well this week or
early Eext week. Of the Wing Hill
well we have heard nothing definite,
but understand they have the rig
about completed, and expect to CON-
mence drilling in few days. But, as
we said before
THE COOPER TRACT
is the all.absorbing topic among oil
operators now, and the majority are of
opinion it will be the next jumbo dis
trict. The Derrick of yesterday mern-
ing says: ga gentleman Of experience
in the oil business visited the ShanHen
we'll on the Cooper tract Sunday, and
in conversation with the Derrick re-
porter to-day, made the following
statements, which can be relied upon:
The we'll is carefully guarded by a
body of men four being on guard all
the time. One 250 barrel tank is up
and connections made TO it from the
we'll. Workmen were putting up an.
other tank, supposed to be of 1000
barrel capacity, and materials for
other tanks were on the ground. 1t
was impossible to get near the well.
but oil could be seen en- the little
stream which flowed through the ra-
vine past the derrick, and also show
of oil about the rig. The guards are
not communicative, and the only sat
isfaction in visiting the place is to
look at the derrick from a distance
and have the guards order the intru-
der to keep away"
And the Era of last Saturday says :
"The Shannon we'll on the Cooper
tract, down in Forest county, still at
tracts the attention Of land specula-
tors and prominent buyers of the
oil country. The stream which courses
down the bluff past the we'll is heavily
loaded with oil! One man of good
judgment estimates that fifty barrels
per diem is carried over the stream
during twenty-four hours. No oae is
admitted to the grounds, however,
and the opinions of the most practical
men differ widely as to the probable
future of this we'll. PrOspectcrs and
pioneers of new fields are nsglecting
Cherry Grove and are devotiAg their
energies to the securing of lands in
Forest county"
Almost within a stones throw of
this we'll Lucius Rogers and Mrs. j.
B. Agnew own 600 acres, 200 of which
they recently sold for $50 per acre,
and have had an offer Of $3.50 per
acre for the remaining 400 acres. This
would indicate that somebody has
great faith in the territory, and has
some kne1ledge of the new strike. A
short time will tell the tale.

More Safe Cracking.

The peaceable citizens of Nebraska,
this county, were considerably star
tied Yesterday morning on learning
that during the night the place had
been visited by burglars and daring
robbery committed. County Com
missioner's Ledebur's safe, which oc.
cupies place in the grist mill, was
the victim. The burglars entered the
mill by way of one of the windows,
aud, to make long story short, bored
hole in the safe door. injected the
explosive substance aud banged away.
The door was blown off completely,
bursting the hinges and just about
running the safe. They secured between
5000 and $500 in money, which was
perhaps considered a very fair haul by
the thieves. Some notes and papers
to the amount of 500 or $500, to-
gether with Mr.. Ledebur's books we're
deposited in the safe, but other than
being somewhat mussed and scattered
about, they we're not disturbed. The
only clue that could be detected was
some horse tracks near the mill, where
a couple Of horses had been standing
for some little time, evidently. A
carpenter who was working late in a
shop near the mill saw man riding
by about II o'clock, on one horse and
leading another. This is clue, which,
if it could be traced up, would doubt
less lead to the capture of the devils.
Some tools from neighboring
blacksmith shop we're found in the
mill, among which was tin torch.
There was considerable oil split about
the safe, and just what was used to ex-
plode the safe is not clear in the minds
of those who viewed the debris next
morning. 1t is also the opinion of the
people that the burglars were profess
ionals, and that they were not over an
hour and half in completing tie job.
Mr.. Ledebur's loss, counting the dam.
age to the safe will be nearly four
