Oil company have fishing job at their
No. on the Judge lease.
There are now about 10 wells drill
ing out on Indian creek, and there will
be several more started this week.
There was no change in the price of
credit balances today.
Mcclure & Co.'S we'll on the Thorn
farm is getting along nicely and will
be due very shortly.
Crawford & Treats No. 8, on the

eral car loads of two-inch pipe have ar
rived here this week, and will be used
in laying the pipe line from Whisky
run to the main line, near the Mahon
we'll, on Sugar creek.
The owners of the old Hamilton well
have had force of men at work all
week cleaning out the hole, preparing
it for shot. which will likely increase
the flow of oil, and after a long delay
the public will know what the we'll is
good for. A conservative estimate by
those who should know put it down as
30 barrel producer.
Last summer Il. n. Barnsdall located
we'll on the Noah Williamson farm,
on Rock run, but after having part of
the rig timbers hauled to the ground;
he suspended operations. Word now
comes that he has changed the location
to John 1srael's farm, which is located
half mile nearer Whisky run, and is
now erecting a derrick. This well will
be an important test of large section
of country that has not, as yet, had a
single we'll, and most operators have
considerable faith in the territory.
In the Cairo field, the Marshall WELL
on Devil Hole, is the only lare strike.
This well has been shot and will prob
ably be a 25 barrel pumper, 1t has
caused the price of territory in the
Devil Hole country to take . sudden in
crease in value, and some fancy prices
have been paid for leases. Daniel

and 800 per month rental, until one
we'll is completed on each twenty acres
of his farm.

troleum, is a bout to be thoroughly drill
ed for heavy OIL which is found in that
section, usually in what is known as
shallow wells, A twenty-year lease
was taken on this farm about fifteen
years ago, and by the terms of the lease
the land owner was to receive one
fourth of all the production. This
with the usual lease of today, which
allows one-eighth royalty. The speci-
fic gravity of the oil in the Petroleum
and Volcano districts is 2S to 30 degrees,
and is worth S4 80 per barrel.
Col. Il. NJ. Henderson, representing
the Kanawha Oil Company, is leasing
large block of land in the southern
part of this county near Pullman post
Office.
A local company is organizing at
Cornwal's, this county, to drill test
we'll at that place. Most of the capital
stock has been subscribed for.

JURY FAILED TO AGREE.
Thomas Simms Was Tried Yesterday
 for Kleptomaniacy

Thomas Simms, the youth who was larizing Chinese habitation, but whose sentence was stayed to hear the demurrer entered by his attorney, was again brought into court yesterday.
 The defense attempted to establish that the young man is insane and to decide that question the case was tried before jury.
 The parents of the young man testi- fled that from his youth the boy was several times he had stolen articles. He did not steal for profit, for accord ing to the testimony of the parents, he was of a very generous disposition and gave everything he stole to his companions.
 When he was placed on the stand the prosecuting attorney asked him his age.
 T do not know" he said When asked how long he had lived in Arizona the answer was the same That was his invariable reply to every question.
 The case went to the jury after ex- plicit instructions from the judge how to proceed in case of the character After being out two hours the jury re turned and reported that no agree ment on verdict could be reached.
 Young Simms does not look like { professional evil-doer. He is iner and apathetic in demeanor and yes terday he was apparently the most dis interested person in the court room His face is expressionless and there i seemingly little vitality in his makeup

 Livestock Show.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The interest in the swine department at the live stock show in Madison Garden was increased when it became known that MT. Richard Mansfield had registered a strenuous protest against the "dem- milton odor,'' that he claims ascends to his august nostrils in his dressing room in the Garden theater, from the Twenty-seventh street annex. AS the annex is kept exceptionally clean, and the only decided odor is that insepa- rable from the presence of "swill bar rels," the concensus of opinion was that the illustrious actor was draw ing largely on his imagination.

tory of the trade, and the dul1ness at home, due to the disturbing influences of the presidential campaign, is giving way to increased activity and demand. The outlook was never brighter than it is at present, and higher prices are confidently predicted
 Copper is constantly finding employ ment in new avenues of manufacture and owing to it's superiority over all substitutes it's use is not easily re- llnqulShGd except when the price rises so high as to be prohibitive
 It finds it's largest employment in the various branches of electrical science, which has grown so prodigiously dur ing the past ten years. A recent writer on the present status of electricity '' says that among the various branches of manufacture it is exceptional to find one where electricity is not used in some way.
 The capital invested in electric lighting in the United States alone is computed at over $5O0,O0O,O00 The electrical apparatus used in mining is estimated at $100,000,000, and the value of the electrical elevator industry will not fall short of s15 100000 The most important of all the electrical indus tries, however, is that of electri rail- ways, in which there is said to be in- vested over $700,00O, 900, and this field is by no means developed. Then there are the establishments that manufac- ture the machinery and apparatus used, and many of these are among the largest enterprises in the world In all of these industries copper is a necessity, and its consumption must i increase with the expansion of cleo trical science. The telegraph is one of the oldest and most important fields for the employment of copper, and its demand to replace steel wire is con- stantly growing.
 Truly, there is no branch of the min. ing industry with brighter future or offering a more profitable field fol the investment of capital than copper
