Roscommon Gold and Oil.

The Bay city Tribune, SAYS: Jacob
Steckert, one of the pioneers of East
Saginaw, but who is now located on a
fine farm in Roscommon, three miles
from the village of that name, is the
gentleman who two years ago caused
spectators. to prick up their ears by
discovering gold dust while digging a
well on his farm. Gold in considera-
BILE quantities is still pumped from the
well, from depth of 20 feet, bat moth
ing has ever been done in the way of
mining, to learn whether the precious
metal existed in quantities sufficient to
pay for workingl A short time ago six
pals Of water were pumped from the
well, from which tablespoonful of
pure gold was gathered.
The much-talked of oil well is locat-
ed a short distance from Mr.. Steckert's.
This was abandoned for some time af-
ter oil was first pumped out, and the
general impression prevailed that the
oil obtained had been put in the well
beforehand. Recently, however, il
was discovered that the well had been
tainpered with and the machinery bro
ken, 50 that oil could not have been
pumped, even had It existed in large
quantities. This discovery cheered the
owners of the well into renewed activ-
ity, and on Monday the work of clean
ing il out was commenced and anoth-
er effort will be made to show that oil
con be obtained i'm Roscomnon, at
rate which will make the fortunes of
those Who own land in that vicinity"

cob described to our Bay City brother,
