THE RENO DEyELOPESgNr.
Further Particulars OF the Coal and
Oil Company.

MT. JOnu Cilue1 WIS mere ldsl
week, and was asked by THE Argos
as to whether the accounts publish
cd in the daily papers receRtiy about
the Reno coal and oil deal were
true or not, Mr Sliney, who has
been the active man IN these trass-
actions, replied "Yes, the ac.
counts are substantially correct.
and especially observed tho one in
the Pittsburg Times OF April 18th,
which was right. We have our
company organized with plenty of
capital, We mean business and will
take up the coal lands just as soon
AS get the oil wells started. 1t is
40 small matter to organize com
pany with 81 10000 capital and
everything cannot be done in a few
days, weeks or even months. |
found some complications in regard
to securing lessos on some Of our
property, which took time to clear
up.
SO The ARGUS can say to its
readers that the Reno Oil, Gas,
Development and Construction
Company, with 100000 capital,
81, 100000 paid in, is realty and
the tockholders are j. NJ. GufTey,
the OF! and coal speculator of Pitts
burg, John Sliney, Of Cory, Pa,
Thomas G.. IIillhouso, of the Met
ropohtan Trust Company, New
York, julius Morgan, nephew Of
j. Pierpoint Morgan, New York,
and G. G. Cuyler, of New Jersey,
President Of the Illinois Steel Com
pany. TIE ARGUS has been in
possession Of these facts for some
time, long before they were pub
lished in the city papers, but re-
fraiEed from publishing 1t until it
vas thought best. The records at
the clerks office here and at Nor
gantown bear out all these state
ments and the enterprise now ap
pears to be sure go.
On Wendesday Major Orr broke
the ground for The first oil well,
which is half mile east Of indie
pendence, near an old saw.mill.
Mr.. Sliaey was with him and locat-
ed the well. The Major was born
on this place where the first we'll
will be put down, and it was both
appropriate and right that he should
dig the first shovel Of earth. Fur
ther, three car loads Of machinery
are loaded and shipped to Newburg.
sufficient to dig three wells at a
time. Work on three wells will be q.
! gin at once, and ten test wells will
be put down between Newburg and
Howesvillo. The company expects
to make. liberal and thorough
test Of the field. Oil will be struck
in the opinion Of almost every one,
long before ten wells have been
put down.
The coal land, as Mr.. Sliney says,
will be taken up and paid for in a
short time. Then all tho other de-
gelopments will follow. Mr. SlIney
has been persistent and faithful in
his cndeavOrs to organize a rich
company to develop Preston county.
/ The ARGUS has always believed he
would succeed, and now wishes to
congratulate Mr.. Sliney upon his
! h1ttering prospects. There arc
those who sought TO discourage the
gentleman in his operations and
discourage every one in giving him
assistance here, but such ones we're
only "snall potatoes" and now re
gret they cannot say '1 told you
So" The prospects for old Preston
are very bright just now, and e5-
pecislly il We strike oil.

that means that Ayers Pills

others fail. It was fitting,
therefore, that the worldwide
popularity of these pills should
be recognized by the Worlds

a bill has been introduced in the
North Carolina Legislature to tax
unmarried men over twenty-four
years old so for the first year, and
double the tax for each year tlicy
remain unmarried. North Carolina
believes in matrimony, and its laws
have always been wide open TO the
matrimonial estate. Hitherto it
has only encouraged matrimony,
but now it proposes to force men
lnto it. If this law goes into effect
all the old maids in New England
will migrate southwark like wild
geese IA the fall.
