TRYISG TO REACH CHINA.
A Gas Well Which is Already
-Four Thousand Feet
Deep.
Wheeling Register.

The McGuigan gas we'll, the light
from which can be seen from the top
of the Wheeling hill, is the pioneer
gas well in this vicinity. 1t led to all
OF the others now making such tur
moil 10 this valley. 1t was sunk for
oil, not gas, and the great gaseous res.
ervoir was tapped unawares. Just
three miles nearer us the Buchanan
we'll was sunk, and is now the deepest
we'll in che world, having reached 1900
feet, and is still going down. When a
depth Of about 5000 feet had been
reached the tools broke and were
left there, and for some time the
we'll was deserted. Then a new
concern took hold of it and is now
vigorously drilling for the greasy
fluid. The rope broke in March, and
the cable, between four and five
thousand feet in length and weighing
several tons, parted several hundred
feet from the top, and all efforts to
catch hold of it and draw it out with
the great iron shaft or drill at its lower
end failed. The workmen we're then
DISCHARGED, and the public supposed
the we'll abandoned. Supt. Croker
had no thought Of quitting the work.
Additional tools were procured, and
on the 18th inst. work was resumed.
The well, which is dry, was filed with
water, to assist in floating the cable.
a proper instrument was inserted,
and the rope was caught and lifted
out. 1t was supposed that after
getting the rope taut a "sucker-rodp
would have to be sent down to
loosen it fro n the drill at the bottom.
as that was fast and could not
be lifted with the weakened rope.
Fortunately the rope cut itself off
where it wss attached to the shaft,and
thus saved d great deal OF trouble.
The next thing to do was to remove
the water from the well, and pumping
was resoFted 20, when nearly barrel
of very fine crude oil was obtained.
The well is cased to the depth of
twelve or fourteen hundred feet, and
is dry. When the water Is removed,
which will be done in day or two, a
spar" will be sent down after the
drill, and no difficulty is anticipated
in bringing it to the surface, When
this is accomplished the work Of
deepening the we'll will be recon
menced. Mr.. Croker states that the
machinery he has on the ground will
enable him to go 500 feet deeper, and
by increasing its power he could 20 to
the depth of7OCO feet, but he hopes to
reach oil in paying quantities at a
small additional depth.

and permanency of this great improves
ment. Captain Hener says that the
channel at present is the best channel
that has been found since the jetties
we're constructed, and this is con
frmed by the report that since July,
1882, there has not been day when
there has not been a clear channel of
thirty feet. The Jaw does not stipu-
late for any width to this depth of
channel. 1t requires a channel depth
OF twenty six feet across the width Of
zoo ieet, with a continuous channel
depth of thirty feet. But according
to the report of the engineer the
tAirty-foot channel is now ninety feet
wide at its least width. The mean
ing Of the report is that the commerce
Of New Orleans has a deeper and safer
channel to the sea than the commerce
Of New York has.

LILLIAN RUSSELL.
What Her American Managers
Think Of Her-NOt Wanted
in This Country.
Now York Times.

Miss Lillian Russell, when she left
this country on her wild goose chase
with Edward Solomon, was under
engagement to William Henderson, of
the Standard Theater, and since the
contract was made with her Brooks &
Dickson have been taken into partner,
ship with Mr.. Henderson. Lillian
hao made a good reputation in this
country, principally on account Of her
pretty face. Her little escapade when
she was engaged at Tony Pastor Thea
ter was forgiven, because the public
was pleased with new face and want
ed to give Lillian a chance. In the
midst of popular engagement at
the Casino, Miss Russell suddenly
went away, and at the same time Mr.
Edward Solomon disappeared from his
usual haunts in this city. 1t was
natural that people should talk, and it
was also natural that Mr.. Joseph
Brooks, when he found himself face
to face with Lillian about two weeks
ago in London, should express him
self somewhat forcibly on the subject
other escapade. Mr.. Brooks, through
his counsel, Mr.. Stanley, procured an
injunction forbidding Lillian Russell
from singing in the Gaiety Theater,
or in any other theater after Sept. l,
and Mr.. Brooks, after accomplishing
this feat came home TO America.
Yesterday he received cable
dispatch from Mr.. r. D'Ovly Carte
asking for permission for Mr. Stanley
to ask for dissolution of the injunc-
ton, SO that Miss Russell might
sing in the Savoy Theater in London.
Mr.. Brooks had not sent any answer
TO this dispatch up to 10 o'clock last
night. At that hour he said to
Times reporter:
Miss Russell has killed herself in
this country by her esoapade with Mr..
Solomon. She is of no earthly use to
Mr.. Henderson, or to Brooks and
Dickson in the future, and my only
object in getting the injunction out
against her in London was to show her
that the American law was powerful
even in England, aud that when she
made an engagement in this country
we could hold her TO it across the sea.
| think we have convinced her Of this,
and the probability is that | will cable
to D'Oyly Carte on Monday that he
can have Lillian Russell if he wants
her. Neither Mr.. Henderson nor /
think that she is worth anything to us
in this country in the future"

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-l0 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the pritten guarantee of the manufacturers
uarranting each case to wear trenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
