Strike of Rich Oil of Rare New
Quality
EXCITEMENT AT THE WELLS
" Paraffine Oil" in the /" Third Sand
Stratum
Permanency Of the Deposits Proved by This
Highly Important Discovery-RevoIu-
tlon In Boring and Machinery

Veteran oilmen from foreign parts and
excitement aroused by discovery of vast
import to the local industry. and last
night numbers of them were out examin-
ing into the matter and today larger
crowds will swarm over the hill. Jos. E.
Cook. the well known broker and manu-
facturers' agent, has struck it so rich in
his well on Metcalf street, near Temple.
that he is the envy OF all the fortune
hunters in the district.
About six weeks ago he bought his
well, which is near the Strauss plant, and
has been boring with varying success
since.
At the 700-foot level, at which all the
other wells had run into the full flow OF
petroleum. lttle or no result was
achieved, but Cook resolved to flight it
out on that line if it took all summer" -"
SO continued his boring. In the next 200
feet all kinds of obstacles were encoun-
tered. Sand buckets fell into the bore,
castings would get stuck, the hole would
get jammed and promising indications
would end in nothing.
But yesterday the news spread along
the oil belt that Cook had struck it rich
and soon further Developments sent
waves OF excitement over the field. Nine
hundred feet down, in the third sand
stratum encountered by the persistent
borers, what looked like quantities of
liquid green paint was brought up. A
little further and a clearer quality came
up in s. steady flow, and investigation
discovered immense. immeasurable guam
titles behind it, the stuff was assayed
and tested and was found to be of vastly
different quality from the ordinary Pc
tIoleum OF present commerce.
The black petroleum which is on an
asphalt base is coarse, of a gravity high
at IA or Is. The flow from the Cook we'll
Is green, on heavy paraffine base, and
is strong with Its quantity OF kerosese,
having % gravity. In fact, the borers
who wash the black oil out of their hands
with ordinary kerosene eau take this
raw product and wash themselves equally
clean. And it is this marvellous rich
strike that aims to revolutioniZe the busi-
ness.
Tho difference in value is too obvious
to DO indicated, and the jubilsnt Mr..
Cook celebrated his good fortune by a
dinner at the Hollenbeck last evening.
Oil men claim the discovery to be fully
as Important as the first strike, and per-
haps even more SO, because it indicates
all inexhaustible basis under the field and
deposits below the present depths SO Iich
that measures will be universally taken
to see who can strike next first.

increased to make the depth and ma

RECOMMENDATIONS THAT A TRUE
NON-PARTISAN SPIRIT BE
OBSERVED.
PROGRESS OF THE CHURCH.
LOVE TO GOD AND LOVE TO MAN.
AMONG DOCTRINES OF THE
CREED.

WASHINGTON, u. c., Oct. 22.-This
morning the formal three days session of
the sixteenth annual conference of the
Unitarian and other Christian churches
was opened in this city. In the absence
of Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, Dorman
B. Eaton of New York presided. The
opening address of Rev. George Bachelor,
chairman of the National COME renee, was
an exhaustive history of the progress of
the Unitarian organization in the United
States.
Discussing the prospect of a gradual
uniting of all religious creeds, Mr.. Batche
lor defined the differences which separated
this conference. and probably must do so
for generations to come, from the universal
churches, inasmuch as the Unitarians be-
ieved that the highest duty and supreme
object for which the church exists is the
perfection of human nature and human
society upon this earth.
He closed by terse definition Of the lead
ing articles of the Unitarian belief, stating
that they were not agnostics in the things
which most vitality concerned spiritual
welfare. but passing over superficial and
technical differences, believed, as surely as
they believed in the attraction of gravita-
ton, that righteousness is salvation, and
that all the law is summoned up in Glove
to God and love to man."
At the last moment DR.. Collyer was I'M
able to be present, and the communion
service was conducted by Rev. G. c. Ever
EFT of Cam bridge, Mass, Rev. G. Thoyer Of
Cincinnati and Rev. Mcdaniel of Newton
Center, Mass, about 1000 persons attend
ing.
The convention adopted the following
resolution presented from the council by
DR.. Bachelors:
"ResolUed, That the serious and increas-
ing corruption and venality developed in
recent years in connection with the
government of American cities has not
only made good municipal administration
much more difficult and costly, but has so
INSTRUCTED the advancement both of
morality and religion as to make it a
grave duty of all friends of municipal re-
form to exert themselves for the arrest of
such evils in the future, and to make
common cause in urging all good citizens
to discard mere party spirit and interests
and to unite in common effort for good
municipal government without regard to
their party affiliations.
"ResoIved, That this congress wishes to
express its profound sense of the serious
nature of those evils which have their
origin in habits of intemperance and in
the demoralizing influence of the traffic in
Intoxicating drinks. These evils not only
cause the needless expenditure of vast
sums of money without useful results, the
serious impairment of physical and mental
energies, the general debasement of char
acter and much OF the corruption in
politics and government but they are also
q chief obstruction to the triumph OF
morality and religion, reproach to an
enlightened people and to Christian
civilization"

convention, and will willingly do my share in
q moneved sense to secure 1t.
am fully persuaded that the question of
finance will be soon settled when that point is
indicated as being the turning one in the con-
test for that honor.
Irving NJ. Scott said:
Ianticipate that there would be but little
trouble in the matter of securing a sufficient
amount of funds to pay the many expenses of
the convention, should it come to that ques-
ton.
have always subscribed to all such move
ments in the past, and of course should be
willing to do my part in the matter. 1 am in
favor of the movement if the question of secur-
ing the convention be within the range of
probability.
Colonel ]. S. Young of the Russ House
said:
Count me in. I'll have to figure up how
much, but you can be sure it will be my full
share. Every one that cares for the good of the
City or STATE could ask no better opportunity
to show it than this. If it is possibility we
should use every effort to bring the convention
out here.
O. B. Stanton of the Baldwin has large
and liberal ideas.
We are down for thousand. 1 didn't sup
pose the question of raising enough money is
going to stand in the way at all if there is any
chance TO get the convention out here

that is expected of them. OF course, cannot
say exactly what viii be done until several
people have been consulted.
