pal Cathedral of All Saints to-day, Rt. Rev.

for unity and peace in the country which

PETROLEUM "GUSHER."
Oil Well Struck i'm the Ohio Field tina
lis Yielding $50 Barrels

Special to the indianapolis journal.
TOLEDO, o., Sept. 2T.-Another gusher
has been struck in the Ohio oil field that
is causing excitement. 1t is owned by Ca
rey c. Harris, of Finday, and is located
on the Sault farm in Eagle township, Han
cock county. This territory has not been
considered any good, as a large number OF
wells were drilled in the vicinity few years
ago. The well did $50 barrels at the start
and still maintains its production. Late re-
ports from the gusher is that the flow of
oil is increasing instead of falling off as
is usually the case. Land in the vicinity
of the gusher is bringing fabulous prices.
Ten thousand dollars was offered for the
adjoining lease of nearly 300 acres. The
chances are that a large amount of money
will be dropped in the new field as such is
usually the case.
