BOARD OF TRADE.
Another Enthusiastic Meeting Last
Night-GaS or Coal to be Bored
FOr-Other Business.

On Monday night Chairman Ruloff
called the Board of Trade TO order in
the Council Chamber of the City
Hall.
After a reading of the minutes, the
President asked for the reports of the
committees appointed at last meeting.
Mr.. B. r. Cauthorn, as chairman
of the committee appointed to meet
Mr.. Barre, of Pennsylvania, and con-
fer with him regarding the feasibility
Of sinking a well for coal, gas or oil,
explained to the Board that Mr..
Barre preferred organizing a joint
stock company. the capital stock of
which would be $4,000 or $4,000,
not less than the former amount, and
that he would take $4,000 worth of
stock in the enterprise, leaving S.
500 or $500 to be raised in Mexico
and vicinity. 1t is understood that
the cost of sinking a hole 5000 feet
deep is $500, barring accidents, and
Mr.. Barre thought some amount
larger than $500 should be raised,
so as to have a surplus on hand in
case of a mishap.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Barnes, Bassford, Duncan and Hisey
was appointed to draft a suitable
heading for a subscription paper to
be circulated. Upon motion of j. c.
Bassford, Messrs. Turner and Phillip
were appointed to assist the first
named committee IN raising the mon
ey, after the papers were properly
headed.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania
recommended that 10000 acres of
land, adjacent to Mexico, be leased
by the company on the royalty plan,
as is done in Pennsylvania. Upon
motion of NJ. Y. Duncan, the COM
mittee arranged to meet at the office
OF Lakenan & Barnes at 8 u. m,
to-day. .
The committee appointed to look
into the matter of leasing Lanes
pork house, for manufacturing pur-
poses, had no report to make, and
was granted further time.
The committee to confer with the
local wagon makers asked for further
time, which was granted.
Mr.. A. Il. Turner mentioned the
fact that a gentleman by the name OF
Clements, from Wellsville, was in the
city for the purpose of starting d
broom factory. He would like fol-
the Board of Trade to assist him in
finding a room in which to establish
it. Mr.. Cauthorn thought the proper
encouragement the gentleman should
receive would be for all of our mer.
chants to buy his brooms, and handle
no other brand. Mr.. Turner was
appointed by the president to intro
duce Mr.. Clements to the merchants
ald to assist him in working up
trade.
AS there was no further business
before the house, ]. Med. 1rimbl'
moved that the Board of Trade ad
journ to meet Saturday evening, Dec
II, at the City Hall, and that thu
newspapers of this city be requested
Ito make announcements of the meet
ing.
