will replace an equal number of smaller
tanks now in use. The foundation has
been laid for a new boiler expected soon.

For SURPRISING Fires.

the following circular. 1t is in the ma
ture of an advertisement, but as it
may be of interest to stockmen we
publish it in full:
MINGUsvILLE, Mont, Oct. &c, 1898.
Gentlemen: A good many years in the
cattle business have taught me that the
numerous prairie fires that burn up our
ranges during a few months of the year is
one of the greatest drawbacks to the cattle
industry. You are aware that if one of
our ranges burns we have either to let our
cattle starve or crowd our neighbors. The
way ranges are now stocked this means
s~taryations Tor the cattle and ruin for
their owner. 1t occurs to me that we
ought to do everything in our power to
protect ourselves against fires and all join
in the good work.
have for a number of years tried to
| find some device to put ont fires when
started. After a good deal of trouble and
\ expense | nave succeeded in building a fire
| drag made of chains that | guarantee to
give satisfaction. 1t is the best thing that
has been brought out; it is handy to pack;
it is not heavy to drag, and will put out
fire as fast as a couple of horses can travel.
Thinking that it will be of mutual benefit
to all cattlemen. l propose to have "a num-
Der OF these drags built this winter and will
deliver them at cost, that is, thirty-five
dollars each, at the depot in Mingusville.
The old way Of slaughtering cattle, be-
sides being unsatisfactory is too expensive.
These drags will pay for themselves the
| first fire and oan be carried in bed wagons
on the roundup and scattered all over the
range where they can be reached in a short
time.
| II you wish to try one send your order
and thirty-five dollars to Cannon Il Or
gain, Mingusville, Mont. A better invest
ment you could not make.
Let me also suggest that unless we want
| the wolves to drive US out of the country,
every outfit should offer to buy strychnine
at Wholesale price and furnish it free OF
charge to every settler, hunter and other
experienced man wishing to use it next
winter. Wolves will travel and in destroy
ing them, as well as in fighting fire. COM
bined effo rts are necessary to attain the
desired results. Yours truly,

TWO BIG STRIKES
MADE IN wETzEL COUNTY, ON FISHING
CREEK.
One Of the Wells Estimated as Being Good
for 1900 Barrsls-Anotnsr Big Oil
Boom FOreshadowsd

There is big lot OF excitement
down in Wetzel county, over the ad-
vent OF two immenee oil and gas wells.
They came in yesterday, one being
ten miles from New Martinsville, up
Fishing creek, and the other nineteen
miles up the same stream, and both are
described as tremendous wells, both as
to gas and oil.
The bringing In of these wells viii
likely open up big extent OF new oil
territory, of great richness, and rush
for the new field may be expected
within very few days.
As is well known TO newspaper read
ers, number Of oil prospectors have
been at work in the interior of Wetzel
county for some time past, and although
nothing OF a substantial nature has
heretofore rewarded their efforts, they
were not discouraged, but continued
strong in the belief that they were not
mistaken In the oil indications which
first attracted their attention. Yester-
day these gentlemen were in happy
frame of mind, and were being con-
graduated right and left.
Both wells were struck about four
o'clock yesterday morning, one being
the Fluharty run well, located ten miles
up fishing creek from New Martins
Vile, and the Shenango mill, nine miles
further up the creek. The Fluharty
well is throwing gravel and sand over
the top of the derrick and spraying oil
to half that heighth. She has pros
poets for fifteen or twenty
hundred barrel well, according to
Yesterdays reports. The Shenango is
not so strong as the Fluharty, but has
good indications for big well. The
owners have sent to Sistersvllle for
tanks and tools to shut of gas in the
Fluharty well, as it is drilling itself In
and should it go to the oil sand there is
no telling what it would do. Several
prominent citizens OF Wetzel visited the
wells Yesterday and gave this informa-
tion, and 1t is therefore reliable. An
oil boom for Wetzel Is now q certainty.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, August 10
For sometime articles have been disap-
pearing at the Palace Hotel, Shaffer
Hotel and other places, and not until a
day or two since did the police get a
clew of tina thief. Capt. Heaton at last
suspected ayoung girl who had be in
service al the above places, and By fol-
lowing up the clew at last succeeded TO.
day In fixing the crime upon a young
woman who gives the name OF Rosie
Evens. Her name is said, however,
to be Josie Cochran. When
charged with the stealing the
girl denied it, but after being
pressed, at last acknowledged, and
turned over the missing articles, some
OF which had been taken from the above
named places, and others from other
parties. What induced the girl to steal
is not known, but fondness OF liquor
seems to have been at the bottom of IL.
The circumstances, the youth OF the
girl and her former good character led
the officer TO discharge her after she
had returned the property.

The National Real Estate Journal
Quoting approvingly from the st. Paul
pioneer Press on the subject Of real
estate investments shows clearly that
At the present time they are the best
that can Do made.
We have, it says, in this country hun
sreds OF millions Of idle capital 1t is
everywhere from the big safe deposits
down to the stockings Of the farmers
wives. The inexplicable feature Of the
animation is the fact that the owners OF
mis- idle capital allow IL to earn moth
ing for them. II they are unwilling to
loan their money or invest in railroad
and other securities they should know
that cash invested 10 real estate is as
securely fixed as the earth itself.
Money thus Invested will not dWindle,
because real estate is held everywhere
1t bottom values, and the men who pur-
chase now will soon see rising market
that will pay them bigger profit than
was ever made in our biggest booms.
To no locality In the country do these
views apply more forcibly than to West
