OIL NOTES.

The Tionesta Oil Co.'S we'll on Coun.
Gil Run is down about 450 feet, at
which depth very hard she'll was en-
countered. Thus far the indications
have been very satisfactory.
The Hunter we'll on Hunter Run is
down between 800 and 1000 feet, and
all visitors excluded. The suspicion
got out last week that a show of oil
had been got.
The Derrick of yesterday morning
contains the following;
Gran6in No. 81 is located fifty rods
in advance of Nos. % and 26. The
two latter are located on the two edges
Of the southwestern extension of the

the northeast. .Grandin No. 81 reach

$50 barrels the first day. On Satur-
day it made 200 barrels. The
wells which have recently been drilled

tanned better sand and proved to be
a larger producer.
N. F. Clark's No. 1, on 3,195, was
completed Saturday, and is dry hole.
Its location is sixty rods northeast of
Agnew No. 1. The drill passed
through eighteen feet of good sand,
and little showing of oil was found
in the rock, though not sufficient to
make it paying well. The sand was
also barren of gas. The show was
sufficient to indicate that the we'll was
located not far from the oil, though
whether it is near the end or on the
edge remains to be determined.
S. A. Gartlan has a drilling we'll
located west of Clark's dry hole and
nearer the Agnew wells. Since the
completion of the Clark we'll it looks
as if this also might be dry hole If
the belt or spur discovered by the Ag.
new we'll runs further northeast, it will
pass south Of the Clark and Gartlan
wells.

We are indebted to the Clarion Re.

The Republican Congressional Con.
ference, in session at Brookville last
Thursday, on the seth ballot nomina-
ted A. G. White, Esq, of Jefferson

Mr.. White was born in Armstrong
county, December 18th, 1888, where
he spent the first twenty years of his
life, in the avocation of farmer.
During the winter months he attend
ed the public school, and made such
progress in his studies, that before he
reached his twentieth year he was
chosen teacher of the school ir the dis.
trict in which he resided. He fol.
lowed school teaching in the winter
for several successive years, and with
the money thus acquired, attended the
Jacksonville Academy, in Indiana
county, and the Dayton Union Acad.
emy, in Armstrong county.
In 1860, be went to Punxsutawney.
to take charge of the school at that
place, and, during the same year, reg.
istered as law student with the Hon.
P. w. jerks, then a practicing attor.
ney at that place. In the spring of
1861, he enlisted in the three months
service, Col. Amor Mcknight; re-
turning to Punxsutawney in 1862, he
completed the study of the law, and
was admitted to practice in the sever.
al Courts of Jefferson county.
He was elected District Attorney of
his county in 1867, and moved to
Brookville, where he has since resided,
He was again elected to the same of.
fee in 1870. When Jefferson county
was made separate Judicial District,
under the Judicial appOrtionment bill
of 1881, Mr.. White received the nom.
