THE PETROLEUM QUEEN
What an Expert Has to Say of
Wyoming's Oil Fields.
The Deposits Inexhaustible and
Easy Of Access.
Poison Spider, Shoshone and Salt
Creek Basins.

Last Saturday night W. K. Hawley,
Wyoming Agent for the Oil Mountain
Petroleum Company, a territorial corpo-
ration with a capital stock of $40, 000, 900.
owned by Omaha men. Mr.. Hawley
talked freely with a reporter for The
LEADER, and is very enthusiastic over
Mornings petroleum prospects. In the
course of the interview he said:
TIE eyes of the oil world are on Wyo-
ming. The output of the Pennsylvania
fields is nothing as compared with a few
years since, and wells in that region are
becoming exhausted daily. The Wyo-
ming oil field is easy of access. The pc
troleum exists in inexhaustible quantities,
and the quality is unsurpassed. A rail-
way to the oil fields is sadly needed, and
with its advent the industry will forge to
the front in fine style. My company
pany looks upon the pipe line project
with favor, aud [ think a line to Omaha
feasible, but its construction will necessi-
tate an IN outlay. The territorial
people would doubtless prefer railway
communication. and there is no question
but what they will soon receive it
MY debut into the oil business as an
occupation was made under rather pecu-
liar circumstances We had a man named
Bowman boring a well near Douglas. He
had reached the town enroute East for
more machinery, when he became in
volved in a quarrel with a man named
King. At this juncture he left our en-
ploy and this troublous world. Work
was abandoned until | came west to view
the property. Bowman had reached a
depth of 1000 feet, and the
outlook was better with every
revolution of the drill. | had
been a civil engineer all my life and was
so pleased with the prospect that l con-
tinued the work left by Bowman. I've
been at it a month and only leave on ac-
count of the illness of a near and dear
relative in California. One well is only
fifteen miles from a railway and we will
commence the shipment of oil so soon as
the capacity of our claim is a~scertained.
We are on Poison Spider creek in the
Rattlesnake district.
Yes. I've visited the Shoshone basin
near Lander, and agree with you that
here is one of natures richest store.
houses. The wells are shallow, but are
true spouters, and as they have been al
lowed to flow for twenty-four hours and
showed no %dimunition in volume |
think there need be no fears on that
score. That spring and the lake of oil
are wonderful sights. It's a pity that SO
much good petroleum goes to waste there
every year.
The Salt creek wells greatly resemble
those of the Shoshone basin in hat they
are shallow. 1 predict that the Salt
creek region will be opened up in fine
shape at an early date.
you can say that Wyoming is des,
tined to become the greatest oil producing
section of the country. Moneyed men
are interested and development will not be
retarded for lack of capital"

SEED THAT is sHRUNKEN.
Frosted Wheat Sent to Polk
County Farmers for Planting.

Frosted Wheat Sent to Polk
County Farmers for Planting.
Chief Grain Inspector James yester-
day examined some seed wheat for
warded by several farmers of Fosston,
Polk county. The wheat was supplied
to these farmers under the Holmes
seed grain lay, passed at the present
session Of the legislature, by which $780,
600 was appropriated to furnish seed
wheat to farmers whose crops last sea
son were destroyed by the early frosts.
Polk county secured $40, Ss9 under this
law. distributing 25,050 bushels of
wheat. Capt. James reports the samples
forwarded for inspection to be No. 3
wheat. Il class it No. 3" he said, ''be-
cause of the large amount of frosted
and shrunken wheat there is i'll the
samples. Is it good for seed? Well. if
it was the only seed wheat l had, |
would risk sowing it rather than none
at all. Under favorable circumstances
it may sprout, but l am fearful of it
maturing properly" Capt. James
furnished similar report to Secretary
Of State Mattson, to whom the wheat
was originally consigned, and he to-day
will consider what is to be done in the
matter. 1t is more than passing strange
that money appropriated by the state to
relieve the destitute agriculturists
should have been expended in the pur-
chase of frosted seed. The county COM
missioners of Polk county should be
called upon for some explanation.

MRS. RILEY's RAWLINGS.
A Dangerous Lunatic Taken in
Charge by Her Husband.


Charge by Her Husband.
Mrs. John Riley, who was arrested at
her home, 1871 Margaret street, and
lodged in Jail Wednesday afternoon
after night of most violent conduct,
was released yesterday morning and
given into the custody of her husband.
She destroyed everything in her cell.
What she couldn't tear or break she
soiled in such a manner that it had to
be burned. About 2 O'Clock yesterday
morning the sheriff was awakened by
noise proceeding from the female de-
partment of the jail. Hurrying to the
scene, he found that the demented and
raving Mrs. Riley had climbed to the
top of the grating and was applying
vigorous blows against the iron bars
with tin pail and screaming at the top
of her voice. After much persuasion
she quieted down and for short
while ceased to make the night
hideOus for the other inmates.
When her husband called for her yes
day morning, she was cOmplacent and
rational, and deliberately told the Sher-
if that she knew just what she had
done during the night. DR.. Ancker
thought she was lunatic of the most
dangerous kind, and told Mr.. Riley
that he took her from the jail and out
own risk. Mr.. Riley took her home,
acted nationally all day, except that she
often talked to herself. The sheriff and
deputies say she is the fercest lunatic
ever in their charge, and predict that
Mr.. Riley will be compelled to have her
sent to the aSylum
