OIL NOTES..
BALLTOWN.

Things are not ss lively here at
present as sometime ago, on account
of the BalltowR Oil Co. having but
little work laid out in advance Of
what they are at present prosecuting.
Jas. Welsh is drilling a we'll on his
lease on the northeast corner Of 1921,
and is down about $50 feet.
The Grandin q Kelly No. 8 put
$50 barrels in the tank for twenty
four hOurA preceding 8 o'clock Sunday
morning The well is declining slow
ly and will probably at this writing,
Tuesday, be good for $50 barrels.
Several new wells will be put down
on 5236, near No. 8. The present
theory is that the "belt" will defect
toward the south and cross TiOnests
creek, passing through east of New
town. Whether this be correct or moi
time will verify or deny.
Jas. Welsh will drill we'll on his
lease on 5295 or 5236, being very
near the line. There is but little ae.
tivity at Porkey, and Murphy q Co
are restiEg on their oars, guess, fol

At the last state ball at st. Petersburg
the Empress honored a young officer by
allowing him to waltz with her. The
gentleman was reputed a famous dancer,
but ON this occasion his skill seems to
have deserted him, The Empress and
he fell heavily to the floor. The Empe-
ror ran across the room and a~nxiously
inquired if she was hurt. The Empress
replied that she had not suffered, but
took the arm of her husband and went
to a retiring room. Meanwhile the
chagrin of the unhappy officer was WISH
BILE to all the guests. When the Empress
returned and saw the distress of her late
partner, she insisted on his dancing a
waltz with her. This time there was no
accident, and the unlucky incident was
forgotten in the gracious kindness Of the
popular Czarina.

ID. G. Browne sent a portion of the
bullion received from the new smelter at
Barker, to the U. S. Assay Office at Hell
lena to be assayed, and received returns
yesterday which are highly gratifying
to everybody interested. 1t was sup
'posed that the bullion would run about
$500, but it proves to be twice as valua-
BILE as the boys had it putup.. The exact
value Of the bullion as reported by AS
sayer Harrison, is 574.57 ounces of silver
to the ton, with a trace Of gold. This is
away up" and nothing more reassur-
ing should be required to stiffen the
backbones of the and promoters
of the new smelter. If they can turn
out a geodly quantity of that kind of
bullion there is a fortune in store for
them. The bullion from which the as
say was made was from May & Edna
ore. 4
