to be completely tested during the
spring and summer. Hukel, Thomp-
son ~ Co. are sinking the well at
Mt Morris, at the present time, hav-
ing reached the depth of about 400
feet, and should it prove a dry hole
it is intended to sink wells, one to
the east and the other to the west of
Mt Morris, and in this manner give
the territory complete test. This
company has leased an immense
scope of land along the Whitley,
Dunkard and Ten Mile Valleys,

On Monday morning Father Her
man visited the doomed Mike Metz
in jail and exhorted him to repent
ance. The prisoner obstinately de-
MED his guilt, but gradually soften
ed down, although he did not con-
TESS. Father Herman intended to
visit him again before leaving town.
He says Metz is not a genuine Ital-
ion but halls from the extreme south
of Italy, which contains many Alban-
ians who were driven there by the
Turks. He thinks Metz shows some
Turkish blood, and is very ignorant,
though he repeated the Lords prayer
in Latin.
