ABOUT OUR OIL.
The Wonderful Wells of the Powder
River Region.
A Great Boom Predicted for wyo-
ming Territory.


County Commissioner George L. Ag-
gems, as generally known. is interested in
the new oil fields in Powder river valley,
Wyoming. and makes frequent trips to
that region. Mr.. Aggers obtained o n
siderable experience in the Pennsylvania
oil fields, and has a good practical knowl-
edge Of the oil business. On this account
his opinion in relation to them is valuable.
To a reporter he gave the information
that the oil is found IN the cretaceous for
nation. as it is in Pennsylvania. The
borings have demonstrated that there arc
alternate layers Of slate and sand rock,
with an increase Of oil and gas in each
lower stratum Of sand.
The latter part of last year active deyel-
opment work was begun by the Colorado
and Wyoming Land and Oil company, 10
which Mr.. Aggers belongs, and a New
York company. His company has a well
down 800 feet The New York company
is drilling two wells one is down about
600 feet and the other 400 feet. In all Of
the wells they have some oil and plenty of
gas, but in none Of them has the third, or
oil-bearing sand, been reached. Neither
company was prepared for winter opera
tons, and as a result the work of drilling
has been stopped until spring.
Mr.. Aggcrs thinks present develop
ments demonstrate, beyong a doubt, that
the oil fields of Wyoming will furnish an
immense amount of lubricating and illum-
mating oil, which will supply the markets
Of all the Western States. as far east as
the Missippi river. Owing to the cheap
ness Of the land, the oil can be produced
cheaper than ii is or can be produced in
the Eastern fields, while it will bring a
higher price than Eastern men obtain for
their product. He says If the fields pro
duce as well rs they promise to do, the
actual cost Of producing oil will not ex
coed 20 cents per barrel. and more likely
not exceed 10 cents.
The oil fields are very valuable for graz
ing, as it Is well known that the Powder
River valley is one Of the best stock ranges
in the West The borings have proved
that the country is underlaid by one Of
the finest coal veins in the West, with an
average thickness of from ten to thirty
feet The famous soda lakes are in this
region They are 50 numerous that it is
impossible to tell their number, but it is

How Some OF the Attaches Skin.
mished for Place.
The most exciteing battle ground
that was located in the Republican
caucus was where the struggle took
place for Secretary and Sergeant-at
Arms of the Senate.
George 1. Lammon and R. l..
Thomas were the principals for the
Secretaryship, and Charles Stod-
dard and E. L. Buckingham for
the Sergeant-at-Arms. Bucking.
ham came into the fight in the
eleventh hour and it was not gener-
ally conceded that he could possibly
win.
The Powning- Bell faction how
ever, of Washoe came in to fight
Stoddard, and Gallagher and Will
liams also took up Bucks fight
which soon drew in the Story
county delegation and Stoddard
secured the great East for strength.
A compromise was then sug-
gested, but both men rejected the
idea with scorn. The final result
stood Z to 6 for Stoddard. Both
men acknowledged the fairness of
the others fight and they were
running together" all day yester-
day Bucks fight was RATHER while
it lasted.
For the Secretaryship both men
felt confident of winning, when
few hours before the caucus Rev.
Hammond came in as a dark horse.
and got enough strength from each
to make a dead lock. He finally
decided to run for Assistant Secre-
tary under promise Of all sorts of
support, but as soon as he got out
Of one fight he vas cinched in two
IN the other and then fell out of |
sight altogether.
In the meantime Thomas be-
ieving that the friends Of Ham
nond had only drawn him for
title blind took, header into the
Assembly Assistant Clerkship, and
hen lit on his feet in good shape.

The autumn Leaf INDUSTRY,

A widow who keeps little fancy work
and embroidery shop near Central Park,
New York informs the public by a placard
in her window that ''fair prices will be paid
for good specimens of autumn leaves. She
was pressing some of them beneath news
paper and putting ON thin coating OF var
nish with a camePs hair brush when ylsl-
tor called. "Half the leaves that are brought
to me don't purchase" she said, because
they are imperfect. Sound specimens with
rare tints are not so plentiful as one might
imagine, especially this year. The trees are
clinging to their green coats rather late this
fall The specimens l have been able to
gather so far do not compare in color variety
with last year autumn show. There is too
much dull brown and bronze, and, excepting
the naples, very little blending of warm
scarlet and brilliant golden hues. "a per-
son who knows how to make them up well
can readily sell little wall ornaments and
household knickknacks made of autumn To-
liage Did You never notice how many of
them you see in the booths at church fairs
and bazaars? They are quite salable too

''and very troublesome thing it is to do.
The leaves are left in that jar until they de-
cay, then dried in the sun. Then the green
part is carefully stripped from the leaves,

WAR-RAvAcED PERU.
The Forces Under Cespedes Com
pIetely Routed.
Their Leader Wounded and Deserted
by His Men.

PANAMA. Nov. 14-The deplorable civil wa
still RACES in Peru, and will continue to rage, it is
feared. for some time. According to the last mail
advices, the government forces composing the ex-
peditionary army operations against Gen. Caceres
are not displaying that degree of perseverance,
which was to be expected from them. Caceres,
with the main body of his troops, is resting quiet
ly at Jauja, and the government division is en-
camped at Chica and San Mateo, on the line of
the Oroya Railroad, making no sign indicative of
following up the advantages already gained In
fact the advanced positions occupied near Caca-
palca, beyond Chicha, have been abandoned and
the movement appears to be retrograde. One or
two movements have taken place between the
government outposts and band of irregular cav
airy commanded by the noted Cuban, Col. Pa
checo Cespedes, who also distinguished himself in
the war against Chilli.
The commander at Chicla reports that the
forces under Cespedes were completely routed in
fight on the Goth ult., their leader wounded and
deserted by his men. 1t was hoped when the re-
treat of CacereS was made known that such steps
would be taken by the government authorities as
to render possible the resumption of traffic with
the interior by following up the fugitive general
and libeTating the vast department of Junin from
his clutches The business relations between
that section and Lima are most important in nor
NAL times. The capital receives the varied pro-
ducts of the department and in return supplies
the inhabitants of Junin with most of their re-
quirements. But the presence of the troops on
the railway and the unsettled condition of affairs
beyond Chlela are insuperable obstacles to the
provement in commercial matters has not been
