A Well Near Washington.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsP ArcHi
WASHINGTON, Pa, May 6-The Peoples
Light and Heat Company found an oil well this
morning on the A. o. Day farm, some four miles
south and west Of Washington borough. Some
months ago this company leased 5000 acres in
that section for gas purposes, and the present
well was the first drilled on 1t. The oil was
found in the Gantz sand, and the well
is estimated as good for all the way
President of the company. was in the city yes
terday and seemed highly elated over the dis
covery, for 1t is made. he said, in entirely new
territory. and he thinks OPENS a new and pro-
linc field. Wells have been drilled in that
part of the township (Franklin) in which this
well is loca- q, but not within mile or SO of it.
A Accidentally Plugged.
CoRAof .AIs-Gailey Bros struck gas in the
'hurIy-up' sand on the Mark Watson lot The
Forest Oil Company's No. Neeley, completed
last week, is doing 70 barrels day. The same
company has rebuilt the rig on Hogbar Island,
which was washed away by the food last win
ter. The Coraopolis Oil Company is thro ugh
the 100-fnot on the John Watson farm. 49,, =.
Black q Emerson shot their Jolley lot dry
hole yesterday afternoon. When the shell was
lowered it did not explode. The tools were run
and the thing went off, plugging the hole with
astriDg Of bent and twisted tools.
A Strong New Gasser at McCurdy
MCCURDY-Black & Emerson struck heavy
flow of gas yesterday in the fifth sand in
their venture op the Mink farm, N miles north,
90 east. Of McCurdy.. The flow is said TO be as
great as that struck last winter on the JoIley
farm at Coraopolis. The sand has not been
touched deep enough to develop any oil.
The total product of the McCurdy field for
April was 20S8 barrels, daily average of e.
402. This week the field is making 2, S56 barrels
the increase being due to glycerine. for no new
wells have come in to add anything to it.
e.
r MCDoNALD-The Royal Gas Company's
Sauters well is making just l60 barrels day,
and the Robb nothing, or so nearly nothing
that no oil has been run from ir yet. The COM
pany began drilling to-day on the Mcdonald
Brorhers' farm, and has rig up on one of the
Robb farms. Black & Emerson are building a
rig on town lot north of the Sauters.

TOWARD SMALLER POOLS,
THE ATTENTION OF THE OIL FRATER-
NIFTY NOW DIRECTED,

Since the Larger Fields Have Found Their
Limits-A Probable Connection Between
the Coraopolis and Moon Districts-A
New Well Near Washington.
Since Wildwood has received such a
backs-s as it has experienced, attention is
turning, with more interest than formerly,
to the fields in which smaller wells only are
found. In these there is less temptation TO
incur great risks, but the operator has no
place else just now to which he can 60
1t is true that the chances Of
obtaining grand results are very
much less, and therefore operations
will not be conducted in such headlong i'm
petuous manner, but more in accord with the
staid habits of serious business men. II thus
happens that report of even a small well in
new or nearly new territory excites more re-
mark and attracts more attention now than a
very much larger one did at Wildwood.
In proof of this a circumstance occurred
which quickly went the rounds of oil
circles. but at other times would not have been
so much noticed. The Kanawh ha Oil Company's
venture on the Onstott farm, between the
Coraopolis and Moon fields, was last week re-
ported through the fourth sand and dry as a
bone. Whether through Ignorance Of the facts.
or because the company desired to conceal
and 1t went. Last night the boiler was
hred up again. some more drilling
was done and the well made strong
now. Some say no drilling was done,
but that the well had been plugged and the
plug blew cut At any rate, the Kanawha
people have well where no well was supposed
to be. 80
The Importance of this strike will be un der
stood when it is explained that 1t goes far TO,
prove the existence of direct connection be-
tween Coraopolis and Moon. If further tests
fully demonstrate such a facr. field seven or
eight miles in length. as now known, will be the
result .-. .
There are q wells being drilled, with rigs up
for them, in the Moon fields. showing that
there are many people willing to drill for 25 to
5O-baBrel wells on 80-cent oil. Bradley &
Murphy are LOCO feet deep on the Springer
farm. Blsgs & Mechling have the tools stuck
at 600 feet on the same farm. The Orion Oil
Company is ready to drill on the Harper lot,
near the original No. Goss, and is down 600
feet in the Gordon.
The Kanawha Oil Company, on the Meek's
farm, and Captain Grace, on bis Doty acre. are
due d Thursday or Friday. as are also the Hervey
Oh Companys No. McCutcheon and No. 8
Goss: Melons No. Parry, and Boden & Co.'s
on a farm the name of which was not learned.

CANNED MEATS.
Trade in This Line Now More Active Than
Ever Before.

trade In This Line Now More Active Than
Ever Before.
The trade in this line opens up earlier and
more actively this season than ever before. In
former years demand has been slow until the
picnic season drew near. But this year trade
has opened up briskly full month ahead of
the usual time. There has been much larger
export demand for canned meats this spring
than ever before.
The advance IN live stock and fresh meats
has no doubt had much to do with the rise of
canned goods. The latter however, have been
advanced almost as much as fresh meats. Said
representative of one of the leading firms:
"Our trade for the month of April, 1891, was
more than double what it was for the cor
responding month of 1880. The firm 1 repre-
sent sold 1900 cases of canned meats during
that month. while our trade for the same
month last year was little above 1000 cases
There are three other firms in our city hand.
ling these goods and all are prospering. When
it is remembered that our best trade is uni
formly IN the summer months, it is evident
that this season will be big one for every-
thing In the line of canned meats"
Following are the jobbing prices:

A number of prominent republi-
cans in the House are in favor of an
amendment to the Free Coinage bill,
restricting free coinage to silver of
American production, and if the bill
gets before the House, which is by
no means certain, determined
effort will probably be made to have
such an amendment adopted.
The feeling among democrats in
both House and Senate is as bitter
as it was in the most exciting time
of reconstruction, and in their des-
peration they are prepared to resort
to anything that promises to prevent
the passing of the Election bill.
