By far the riches. stTike in the Monon-
gala Gil field was made to-day, when IL G
Smith and Aiken well on the Price lea, G
came in a thousand barrel spouter. The
first pay streak found a good quantity OF
gas, bat further boring brought the above
splendid result. This we'll was the one to
determine the further development of the
field and should it have proven dry hole,
the oil boom in tie county would
certainly have failed of its even
tual naturalization. The reason Of this
is that the we'll ia on the extreme eastern
edge of the belt, and 8 greater part of the
leased property ia still east of this well, so
10 the event of its failure, the other leases
would have been worthless. As it now
stands the development will proceed with
yigor.
THRY SEE RICHES AHEAD.
All the oil men are in this city tonight,
and nothing but confident expressions
are heard. There are about twenty pro
ducing wells now On the fiald, but are sit
uated west OF this Turner" as it was
called. Those capitalists who have waited
TO see what the Smith and Aiken would
do, will be on the ground by Monday, and
then operations will proceed in the oil de-
ye'opment a. a rate not before seen in this
field. l. ID a great boom for old MOnOn-
gala.

friend, All Fong. In course OF time
the rescuing party came across his
body and brought the money aud thu

yertised for and promptly turned up
and received his legacy. Now it ar
pears that the first All Fong Was A
wicked impostor and that real All

stands good chance Of getting the
money. The false All Fong has van.

Another feature of the value OF this

making their own dresses, and getting
better styles and better fits than il

In the light of the above facts, and
