The Fair.

The Elkton Agricultural Fair,
which was held last week, is conced.
ed to have been the best display
eyer held on the ground. The exhibit
OF young horses was pronounced by
the judges, who were from New
Jersey and from district celebrated
for fine horses, the best they ever
saw. The display of cattle was of
the very best. All the popular
breeds and their grades were on ex
hibition and in large numbers. The
finest mutton sheep filled the pens,
principally the downs and Cotswolds.
We did not suppose there we're so
many and of SO fine a quality of
sheep in the county. That branch
of animal industry needs better pro-
lection from dogs There were
many fine swine in the pens. The
poultry took the cake for quality,
variety and quantity. No such dis
play of the feathered tribe was ever
before seen in Elkton, and probably
but few other places. Chickens,
ducks, geese, guineas, turkeys there
was no end of. And bridesmaid
and great, from tropics to the polar
seas almost, seemed to be on exhibi
ton. From the gorgeous, plumed
peafowl and golden pheasant to the
sober bued matchless singer, the
hooking bird, were there. The
bright little canary showed up in
aocks. And pigeons There was no
end of pigeons; and such oddities
many of them were, monstrosities
some would be tempted to call them
if fancy breeders didn't pronounce
"charming!"
The great Hall was filled with the
useful, the ornamental, the curious
well the display was bewildering.
In the flower annex nature and art
combined to charm the eye and cul.
tlvate the taste. The amusements
provided were chaste in every re-
spect and unexceptional. We can.
not begin, scarcely, to enumerate the
hundrcdth part OF the things of in
terest collected, together designed to
please every taste. The thought
and labor expended in bringing this
great variety, this museum collected
together cannot we'll be estimated,
and all this painful effort was gratui-
tous Not for gain or reward have
the management labored. Can such
yearly unrequited efforts last? Ger.
tainly they cannot. The expense
and outlay in money alone is not
returned by the patronage. With a
display never before equalled and
weather most superb during the three
principal days of the fair, we doubt
ifthe receipts have covered expenses.
There is not money enough in the
country to permit farmers to pay for
even the enjoyment of one holiday
in the year. Everything outside of
the golden circle of the few is being
slowly strangled by the octopus of
debt and interest.

Best Manure for Tomatoes.

The Maryland Agricultural expert

Twelve plain wooden boxes were

thoroughly heated to destroy all or.

Good Hope mine, in Dun Glen district,
Humbolt county, is producing ore that
yields $1,000 q ton. The Chinese are
making good wages in the neighboring
placers. A group of mines In Montezuma
district, Esmeralda county, are being de-
veloped by company that recently paid
$500 900 for the property. Sam Paul recent
" discovered near the summit of White
Pine Mountain a vein that carries 100
ounces Of silver and &C ounces of lead to the
ton. The vein in the lower level Of the Big
Creek antimoEy mine carried from three to
five feet Of solid antimony ore free from
quartz. The rest of the ten-foot ledge is
quartz with bunches of antimony.

Tho Hundred Foot Field.

The 100-foot field is holding up its production
as no other field in this county ever did, with
the same number of wells drilled In the same
given area. Twenty or twenty-five wells on q
75-acre tract is not an uncommon thing, and
there seems to be almost as many new wells
under way now as at any time during the past
year. A dry hole was completed yesterday on
the Jacob Flinner farm, Immediately south of
the Humphrey by Leidecker, Black & Co.
This well is less than 300 feet south of their No.
!, on the same farm, which has been making
40 barrels per day for some time. 1t was q
complete surprise to those who were
familiar with its location. The South
Penn Oil Company's No. l, on the
farm of Commissioner Duncan, will
probably reach the sand tomorrow, or per-
haps tonight. 1t is 100 rods east of Golden &
Co.'s No. !, on the Thomas Graham farm,
which is the nearest producing well. and is i'm
portant on that account, as it will show quite
an extension eastward, If it comes in good.
The same company is drilling well on the
James NJ Ray farm, at least 200 rods southeast
of developments, which will be in this week.
Reisner & Black are starting well on the
Hiram Graham farm, adjoining the Thomas
Graham on the east. II. MCC.

Butler County Notes.

BUTLER-A special from Butler says the
Long Oil Company have completed No. 8 wahl
farm, 100 foot. and is good for 100 barrels Q
day. Hunter & Cummings brought in well
Saturday on the Kamerer farm, one-half mile
southwest of the Tittley well, on the wiles
farm, In Donegal township, which is making
175 barrels per day. This well would seem 70
indicate that the belt runs southwest and
northwest. This development is a very promis-
ing one and now that the second large well has
been completed makes assurance doubly sure.
The Wiles well is still making us per day.
The test well which is being drilled on the
Gill farm, In Worth township, has attained a
depth of L800 feet without finding any third
sand. The well will be sunk 200 feet deeper,
bnt there is hardly any other probability than
that it will be total failure. Fifteen years
ago q company composed largely OF Philadel-
phia capitalists spent $500 testing the ter
ritory Immediately west of this well, and it Is
said that they found no third sand in any of
the wells which they drilled.
Petit Co. No. l. Heine lot have recased
their well, but just what it will do when started
pumping will be learned later.
The kanawha Oil Company will find the
sand in their well on the farm adjoining Mrs.
Burger farm Monday or Tuesday, while the
Heine Oil Company are down 500 feet in No. 2
Heine. The Kicker well. on the Mrs. Burger
farm, has been packed and is making so barrels
day; Kicker No. rig has been completed.
The Ohio Valley Gas Company, on the Kirsh
farm, are through the fourth sand and N. G.

Some Who DO Not Talk.

SAN FRANCIsCo-Many of the richest
mines in California are seldom heard of be.
cause they are owned and worked by pri.
vate parties or close corporations, and their
stock has never been listed on the market
The Derbec mine in Nevada county is an
example. 1t employs over 100 men, has
yielded s, 500 900, and pays seven or eight
dividends year, but the stock is held by a
few persons in San Francisco who keep it in
their own hands and say little about the
property. A very large percentage OF the
total gold and silver output of California is
from mines not known to the public. New
forms of metallic ore are constantly being
discovered by miners. While taking out
galena at the White Hills, lingo
county, P. Key and A. L. Davis
found a vein of brittle, fne-grained ore
of dark luster, which they supposed to be
worthless, and threw several tons of it down
the mountain. Being curious to learn what
the material was they sent sample to an
assayer who reported that it contained 772
ounces of silver to the ton. The prospectors
are not dumping any more Of that rock into
the gulch. Tests made of the rock used by
the contractor who is building jetties in
Eureka harbor, Humboldt county, show
that it carries $40 in free gold to the ton, and
the people of Eureka are wildly excited.
The contractor has dumped thousands of
tons of the rock into the bay for 50 ton,
and he is the widest man In the county.
Rock taken from the prospect shafts of the
Moore mine, Placer county, assays S240

CHARTERS, August 1.-THE Sculley is
through the 1o0-foot, and from this sand
would make 2O-barrel producer. While
drilling In No. Beck yesterday the bowl
was broken off the stem leaving the bit in
the hole. Webber & Co., on the Andy
May, are through the 1oO-foot, and like the
Sculley well, this would make a good
pumper from this rock. On the Joe May
farm the same parties are building No. 2
rig. Wesley Webber has leased ten acres
of the Widow Welsh farm at s35 an acre and
one-eighth royalty and will soon start building
a rig.
The Miller well on the johnson farm at the
present stage doesn't appear good for more
than 30-barrel well. Jennings Co.. on the May
farm, brought in their No. Saturday which is
flowing Is barrels an hour. This well makes
the southwest end of the pool look better.

of changes will be made in consequence.
Rev. Father Smith, of the Order of Jesuits,
conducted the retreat, which was held at
St. Xavier's. The following will be the

boiler was moved out Saturday, and tomorrow
the well will be drilled I'M it is located the far
thest of any well southwest of developments.
The Patterson well, on the Patterson farm,
would have found the sand Saturday, but the
engine gave out, which will cause a short de-
lay. Thayer & Co., on the Burger farm. is ex-
pected in tomorrow. The Jonah Oil Company,

Specialists at 1913 Penn Avenue.
At No. Sl5 Brownsville avenue, southside,
resides Mr.. w. H. Wise.
When be called on the catarrh specialists at
their Medical Institute, 323 Penn avenue, he
stated that his catarrh which had troubled him
so long had become SO severe that at times he
was unable to follow his usual business.
The tough tenacious mucus that dropped
from his head caused soreness in his throat.
Although he was almost constantly trying to
clear his throat, the disease extended TO bis
lungs. His breath became short, and he felt
pain in his chest.
There was scarcely day he did not feel
great pain over his eyes. He took cold easily,
and every cold would cause such stuffed-up
condition in his nose he could scarcely breathe
through it. His appetite was poor, and he had
belching of gas from the stomach.
Night sweats weakened him terribly and he
lost flesh. In this condition he began treat
ment with the catarrh specialists on the 9th
day of last December; on May S he gave the
following statement:
This is to certify that have been entirely
cured. 1t is now five months since 1 became
cured. feel splendid, and no symptoms of the
disease has since appeared. W. II. WISE"
