Cost of Boring for Gas and Oil.


The enormous expense Of sinking oil and
gas wells is being extensively discussed by the
people Of this locality, and, indeed, through
out Northwestern Ohio. The least the drill
ers received in Lima for boring 100 feet
well was $1750, and they claim they lost
money in the contract. For other wells about
the same depth, they are receiving from $1,000
to $500, and as high as $4,000. OF course the
people Of this part of the State have had but
little experience in this kind of work and are,
consequently, unacquainted with the real cost.
The drillers here may not have the latest i'm
proved machinery, but the result is that the
expenses will run higher. The old drillers in
the oil regions of Pennsylvania, who have
been drilling for fifteen, twenty, or thirty
years, and have the best machinery extant.
can drill we'll for one-half the amount of
money that is being paid by the people in
Northwestern Ohio. 1t may be possible that
the drillers in this part of the State can drill
well as cheap as the old drillers of Pennsyl-
vania, and are simply making outrageous
charges because the people or companies are
willing to pay almost any amount that is
asked. The following paragraph on this
question is from the Ada Record. "In con-
versation yesterday with gentleman from
near Findlay we learn that the farmers are con-
templating forming company of three or
four, and will put down private wells for their
own use. The cost of drilling is now much
less than when the work first commenced.
Parties who came from Pennsylvania oil
regions are greatly surprised to learn that the
drillers got from $500 to $3.50 for 1900 foot
wells, and said such were put down there for
5000 to $780, This industry is yet in its in
fancy and there is much in store for those to
see who live ten years hence. The following
from Toledo indicates the feeling in that city:
The finding of natural gas in East Toledo
has set the manufacturing interests here wild
and this week will see dozen wells started.
The announcement has also attracted the at
tention in Pennsylvania, and Bradford par
ties are now here who own eighteen acres in
the Sixth Ward and will sink bores at once. .,
Much interest is now being taken in the
natural gas question in Napoleon and two
companies have sprung up. There is no
doubt but that prospecting will commence in
the near future, and the question as to wheth-
er we have or have not natural gas will be set
tied before many months hence As we have
said, two companies have been started, one
headed by Judge Meekison and Others, and
one by s. M. Heller and others, and stock is |
being literally subscribed. Our citizens
should look around before leaving contract
for boring, and probably much time and |
money may be saved thereby.

to say of the Nation that no single
agency has done SO much in the past
twenty years to advance and dignity
the calling of journalism in America
In all departments it has been singular
ly able and impartial, and its success is
a cause of qualification in which Ameri-
can scholars generally will share.n
While not protesting to be newspaper,
the Nation yet gives a, carefully edited
news summary" in the best shape for
permanent record.

~ A country editor, who longs to live a
happy life, has written the following beauti-
full paragraph: Some apples, plenty of nuts,
good books, plenty of hard wood, and fire
place-these are not extravagances for a
farm. A sweet wife, loving, joyous children,
rooms arranged and cared for by tidy, tasty
hands-all lend a charming tint to the scene.
It is night, the wind is rough and the storm
beats high, but the fire glows ruddy on the
back log, and all is cheerful within. In no
place on earth can we find the serene comfort
to be found nesting in such farm cottage
as this. It is an every day dream, very posi-
BILE, yet so rarely created in American homes.

The total destruction Of the Ander
monument, erected by Cyrus w. Field
on the spot where the British spy was
hanged by Washington's order, and the
comments of the press on the work of
the dynamiters show very clearly that
there is very little sympathy with the
spy on Mr.. Fields effort to make q
hero of him. The New York Sun dis
approves of the destruction of the
monument by dynamite because it is
illegal. It suggests that the inscription
should have been efaced and the fol-
lowing substituted: "This stone marks
the spot where John Andre, British
spy, was hanged, by the order of Gen.
George Washington. From American
patriots his memory merits neither re-
spect nor commiseration.D

bus, in speech delivered In New York City q
few days before the election, presented an
array of facts showing why the Republican
party has been driven from power and why II
should be kent out of power, that should
startle the most prejudiced adherent of the
Republican organization. It has collected
since the close of the war IS, 5O0, ,OOO, 900, YET
has paid of only $500, ,0oo, 600 of the National
debt. 1t has quadrupled the cost of carrying
on the Government. 1t has incubated scores
of millionaires ont of officials receiving mod
crate salaries. 1t has doubled the number of
Federal officeholders. 1t has plundered and
squandered the public domain. 1t has shield
ed thieving officials in high and low places,
including all the members of the Whisky Ring
except Mcdonald. It has wronged and cheat
ed the Indians. 1t has left us without a navy
after spending hundreds of millions appro-
priated to build one. 1t has honeycombed the
District of Columbia with local frauds and
scandals. 1t has been the prolific parent of
Star route frauds, custom house frauds and
various other frauds which reached climax
in the audacious larceny of the Presidential
Office eight years ago. No intelligent student
of political events dare attempt to deny the
iustness of this arraignment, and the best and
only excuse any advocate of Republican su-
premacy can make for adhering to the party
is that of ofignorance of the political history of
the country during the past twenty years. So
shameless is the organization that in its eff
forts to again secure national control it offers
nothing better for the future. In response to
the abundantly proven charges of the yilest
corruption and most reckless extravaganza,
its defenders pirate of the "wah," and other
issues that have been dead for more than
twenty years. That, and their false but spe-
cious claims of protection to American in
dustry," is their only stock in trade. Upon
those alone they base their claims to the con-
sideration and support of the people, thou
sands of whom were born since the. causes
leading to the war we're an issue, and the mill
lions of whom, in their poverty and distress,
have felt the influence of political policy
that, while claiming to protect American in
dustries, has built up giant monopolies that
have enabled few undeserving to accumu-
late collosal fortunes while the many have
struggled hopelessly along, glad to receive the
pittance of mere living and happy when
able to Withstand the oft-repeated attacks of
grim want. This is what the Republican
party has done for the people Of this country.

~ President Cleveland has selected as
the two Democratic members of the Civil
Service Commission Hon. A. P. Edgerton, OF
Ft. Wayne, and VIM. I. Trenholm, of Charles
ton, 8. @. The appointments are good, bat
we hope they will not have long to serve, as
we look for Congress to repeal the unneces-
sary law.
Mr.. Edgerton is well known in this part of
Ohio, having resided at Defiance and Hicks
vile. He was clerk in a store in New York,
removed to Northwestern Ohio as the agent
of the Northern Land Company. He served
four years in Congress as Democrat, from
what is now the 10th District of Ohio, and
was the financial agent of the State of Ohio,
with an Office in New York City. In 1868 he
moved to Indiana, and in 1868 was the
Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor, Vice-President Hendricks being the
candidate for Governor. They were both de-
feated. As Democrat he refused to support
Greedy in 1872 and came within six votes Of
being nominated for Vice-P President on the
O'Connor ticket over John Quincy Adams,
Jr. He was then nominated as the straight
out Democratic Governor of Indiana, but de-
clined in letter which urged all Democrats
to support Mr.. Hendricks, and the latter was
elected. For6fteen years he has been unani-
mously elected by the Common Council Of
Fort Wayne as the President of the Board of
Education of that city, and by appointment
of ex-Gov. Porter, is Director cf Pardue
University. He has been engaged in many
successful business enterprises, and is in
easy circumstances, and is practical studen.
of public affairs.
Hewas for many years an intimate friend
and associate Of Chief Justice Waite who, to-
gether with Senator Fl. B. Payne, Governor
Gray, Of Indiana, Vice-P President Hendricks
and many leading citizens Of Ohio and In
diana, warmly indorsed him as possessing
qualities peculiarly fitting him for the work
Of the Civil Service Commission, with which
he is in full sympathy.
Mr.. Trenholm is commission merchant.
about SO years of age, and was warmly in
dorsed for the appointment by leading
friends Of the civil service reform movement,
North and South. He is son Of the late
Secretary Trenholm, of the Southern Con
federacy, and has been brought into prom
inence lately by his address before numer-
ous bankers conventions OH the silver ques-
ton, and his writings on the same subject,
which have attracted wide attention. Mr..
Trenholm has always been Democrat.
