SONORA SUTTON COUNTY, May 27.-On
yesterday evening and to-day there have
been brought in town several large bottles
of oil. 1t came off a ranch of one Cooper,
several miles south of town, who was
boring for a stock well, and when at the
depth of 800 feet struck oil. He has bored
nearly fifty feet deeper since, trying to
strike strong vein of water; in the mean
time his machine has thrown out daily
from three to five barrels of this oil. 1t
looks much like dark sorghum and is quite
as thick. 1t smells much like kerosine oil
and has something of a tar odor. 1t is very
greasy and hard to wash off the hands.
Our citizens are much excited over this
discovery. We have had the pleasure of
conversation with one of The parties inter-
ested in this well who also presented US
with pint bottle of same.
The Sunset oil company, Brentwood
have again entered black shale of richer
quality than ever. They may go down POO
feet more before making n test of this well,

possible from their first well.

OF it he went fifty feet deeper, but the flow
increased. The well is now yielding from
five to seven barrels of petroleum day.
Sutton has made no effort to market the
stuff 1t bubbles out of the ground and
has saturated it for an acre around He
has started another well and is still boring
for water -

Study this out for yourself. The puzzle
is to place the aces and court cards in four
rows in such q manner that neither hori-
zontalIy nor perpendicularly shall there be
in either row two cards alike either in suit
or value. The key to it is to begin by plac-
ing four cards of like value-say four kings
in diagonal line from corner to corner
Of the intended square, then four other
cards Of like vat1e-say the four aces-to
form the opposite diagonal. 1t must be
borne in mind that of whatever suit the
two center kings are the two aces must be
of opposite suits. Thus II the two center
kings are those of dia1aonds and hearts
the two center aces must be those of clubs
and spades, and in adding the two end aces
you must be careful not to place at either
end of the limo an ace of the same suit as
the king at the corresponding. end Of the
opposito diagonal
