Butler Co. Oil Field.

On Saturday last Mr.. ". ]. Mckee, sold
to Messrs Work, Moore, Mitchell and Lang
worthy of Warren, Pa, his lease Of sever
al hundred acres in Parker and Allegheny
townships, including quite number of
small producers and some gas wells for the
sam of $50. 600. and he retains lj0 acres OF
leases on the Anchers, Young and other
farms near Bruin.
OF Mr.. McKees career as an oil produc
er a correspondent says;
1t is interesting to note that in 1878
without IA dollar of money Mr. Mckee pur-
chased a well producing five barrels per
day agreeing to pay 500 barrels of oil to
the owner. Though the well had been
producing several years Mr.. Mckee sue
ceeded in increasing the yield To twenty
barrels per day. From time to time he
purchased leases and drilled wells in such
a quiet way that oil producers are now
surprised to find such valuable property
in this part of the field, where the excite
ment ragged fiercely in the early days. Mr..
McKees total profit on the property sold
is full 800. 600.
One remarkable fact in connection with
this field is that Mr.. Mckee has always
strictly observed Sunday. On that day all
his drilling and pumping wells were shut
down. so that his men could attend church
if they desired There is probably not
another producer in the entire oil region
who shuts down pumping wells over Sun

Shin Busy,

LONDON, June 1.-THE ship builders
in Great Britain have never been so busy
as they are at present, and they are 90
hard pressed that many Of them are alb.
solutely refusing all orders for new yes
sells. The Clyde ship builders have some
$50 vessels Of the aggregate tonnage of
300, 900 on hand, and yet the output of
new work during the past few weeks has
been considerably less than the contracts
secured. On the Mersey the same state
OF affairs exist, and from Stockton il is
reported that the good old times, when a
beggar on Tees-side was almost as rare
as a dado, are rapidly returning. On
the banks of the Tyne there sre eighty
vessels building, while at Sunderland, on
the Wear, some sixty or seventy are in
course OF construction.
The most significant fact about this
remarkable revival in the ship building
industry is the large number of vessels
building for foreign countries. There
are at the present time OF the docks in
this country ships representing 50, 00(
tons for Germany, 1000 for Portugal
10, 600 each for France, Norway and TIT
British colonies, 5000 for South Amer
ica and 1000 for Belgium.

a conference Of friends Of Alexander
Sullivan from different parts Of the
try will be held either in this city or New
York within the next two weeks, for the
purpose OF taking active steps to sup.
port and defend him in his present emer-
gency. No intimation Of this movement
has yet reached him, but 1t is being pro-
NOTED by people who believe him to be
absolutely innocent Of all connection
with the terrible tragedy that has
been laid at his door, who be.
lieve that he has been singled
out as q victim by his opponents in the
physical force party, and who believe
that the signal work that he has accom-
plished for the land league, for the cause
OF ireland in general and for Parnell and
his colleagues in particular, Is sufficient
to Justify them in rallying around him at
this juncture and affording him not only
moral but material support. A promf-
nent 1rishmasn said tcdey that q fussd OF
I 0 could be raised within three
days by his friends should IL be needed.

reason for this separation hes not been
made pubic, although it was entirely

Indians on the War Path,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 14.-Evan
Michselson rode into Mora at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon on a gallop ard re
ported that the Chippewa Indians, 10
Gated along the southern border Of the
Mile Laos reservation, had begun a

Of fifty Indians had descended upon the
houses of the settlers at midnight, and
with a whoop had set fire to the houses
and fred upon the fleeing residents.
Sens Maquessn, Hans larger, Peter
Swenson and four others were shot dead
as they ran. A dozen were wounded.
and it is believed others were killed.
Michaelson left the place before getting
much information in order to give the
alarm. The governor ordered three COM
psnies Of militia to the scene.
