THE COAL. OIL, GAS, HOLE.
Few Facts and Observations About the
Uptown Enterprise.

Prospect wells or holes are sunk.
drilled or driven for the purpose Of find
ing out what there is OF value beneath
the surface Of the earth at any given
point, or In search Of some specific
thing. The Wichita prospect well Is
for the purpose OF ascertaining wheth-
er there Is any coal, oil or gas under
this section Of the Arkansas valley. As
two wells had been previosuly put down
in this range, one to the depth Of about
1000 feet and the other to depth OF
some 700 feet or more 1t was known
that nothing Of value was to be found
within such distances. So II was de-
cided to go down to a much greater
depth, say from 1000 TO 1900 feet. the
depth depending upon the character Of
the drill findings. 1t was also con-
ten7plated to make lest soundings IN
two or more places. AS for anything
else. or as to the present trouble there
are thousands Of men In the city who
know exactly what is to be found the
first forty or fifty feet down. Beneath
the soil and sand subsoil there Is a stra-
tum Of clean sharp sand and gravel,
through a great volume Of water moves
on in a south or southwesterly direc-
ton. Hence the subterranean lake
story. So strong or free is the flow
Of this body Of water through its sand
and gravel course that well put down
into Ii Is inexhaustable. The Santa
Fe company in an early day attempted
to sink common open walled well on
Fifth avenue, between First street and
Douglas avenue. After reaching a
depth of twelve or fourteen feet the
supply Of water became so great that
the water could not be kept out for the
purpose Of sinking the foundation curb
ing. The work was abandoned until a
steam pump Of great power could be
constructed. This pump, which had
"a capacity of hundreds if not thous-
ands of gallons per minute, utterly
failed to keep out or exhaust the inflow
of water. So the attempt was aban-
doned and the well walled up, since
which time it has been used for tank
station. AS for the hole put down 1 900
feet a record Of the different stratas
was kept and afterwards published in
the Eagle. A large part Of the way
down was through bed Of gypsum
and slaty for7na tons, as we remember,
ending in salt water or brine. If We
reccolect rightly of the hole sunk by W.
A. Thomas and others, west of town,
no record was kept or published. TAX
ing all these facts into the considera-
ton there should have been no misun-
Outstanding as to what would be en-
countered in the way Of difficulties by
the present enterprise. and so much by
the talk about it has been foolish.

THE THREE GRACEs PENsoNlrIEp
Faith. Hope, Charity; bnt the Greatest Of
These IL Charity.

II IL be true-and none will deny it
that actions speak louder than words"
how transcendingly eloquent are the
lives of those who seek to supplant sor-
row in the hearts OF the unfortunate
with the sunshine OF kindly words and
philanthropic acts. And whatever may
be alleged against Wichita as 10 der
elections in other matters, IL cannot
be said that her people are unmindful
OF the unfortunate and distressed IN
the community. This has been demon
strated many times and in many ways,
but in no instance, perhaps, has this
spirit assumed so practical and sub
stantial form as that manifested by the
noble women who, several years ago,
set on foot the movement that speedily
eliminated in the Childrens' Home.
What a monument this institution is
and will continue TO be. attesting the
high character for practical christianity
of the founders OF the home and of
those who, by their patient self-sacri-
ficing have maintained it as a constant
blessing TO scores of helpless little ones
that have found, to them, a happy aSy-
lum there.
The ChiIdrens' Home has been sus-
tanned by voluntary contributions Of
money and supplies from citizens of the
city, ana while the supplies OF ncCeSSl-
ties have at times run low, responses
for aid, whenever made, have been
prompt and generous.
The approach of winter suggests the
needs of the home; that its inmates will
require extra clothing and food and
fuel to protect them against its rigors.
And TO assist in making this necessary
provision Mr.. j. ]. Mcnamara, the
merchant prince of North Main street
takes the initiative and has planned
to do generous part in the work. His
plan is not only most magnanimous on
his part, but il opens the way for every
body to materially assist, while pro-
viding for their own needs. 1t is this:
On Monday, Nov. Is, Mr.. Mcnamara
will place his entire establishment in
charge of the managers of the Chill
drens' Home who will conduct the bus
mess for the day, assisted by twenty
five ladies from the various churches
of the city. OF the proceeds OF the days
business 10 per cent will be turned over
to the managers for the benefit of the
home.
Purchasers are assured that the very
small margins of profit that prevails
in this store will be strictly adhered
to throughout this Childrens' Home
days sale.

by Miss Dunbar, which was a medley
of popular songs Of the day. She was
encored and compelled to respond, when

Mr.. Stubs next recited an excellent

Thanksgiving day generally brings

thing of that nature in Wichita.
The local teams will play outside this
city. Probably the best game will be
played between the Wichita High
school eleven and the Southwest college
eleven at Winfield on Thanksgiving af-
ternoon.
The Wichita team is in excellent
form and their practice shows great
Improvement since the last game. The
Winfield boys are fully as well trained
and, 1t is reported, have a little adj
vantage in weight. This, however. is
not very great and the game VIII be
holly contested from start TO finish.
The Wichita line work has been greatly
improved, and with Hoover, Davidson
and Casad behind the line there will
surely be some star plays.
Quite a number of football enthus-
lasts have expressed their desire to ac-
company the team to Winfield, and the
club of that place have assured a royal
time to all corners. whether players or
not The train leaves here in the
morning and returns at half past ten
