How Maine Well Borer Recovered His
Drill.

Mr. Lockhart, we'll known oil well
borer of Pennsylvania, and formerly OF
Ronkport, Me-, is in Portland. He tells
an interesting incident of his business.
Not long ago he was drilling well, and
had got down a thousand feet. At that
great distance he lost his drill This is 8
calamity, for it not only loses the drill,
but often spoils the well. Mr.. Lockhart
was in a quandary. Finally he decided
to try desperate device. He lowered in,
to the bottom of the well a charge of dy-
Mantle and touched it off. The drill was
blown up the whole thousand feet, but
its momentum was so nearly gone when
it reached the surface that it barely
came out its length. It did come out,
however, and fell over on to the surface
of the ground.
