PERU'S GREAT OIL POOL
WONDERFUL IN SOME RESPECTS,
BUT NOT EXPECTED TO LAST.
Decision for Well DriIIers in Black
ford CONTRIBUTION County
COunterfeiteIs Caught.
special to the 1ndiananolis Journal.


PERU, Ind, Nov. 10.-The Peru oil field
is certainly The wonder of the age. as far
as oil operations are concerned. Never be-
fore in the history of petroleum has such
great activity been displayed on such
small acreage of ground. The actual pro-
ducing area covers less than $50 acres of
land and on this there are now somewhere
close to 100 completed wells, doing about
1900 barrels of oil day, or an average of
nearly thirty-three barrels a day to the
well. There are also about fifty more wells
under way that will be completed before the
close Of the present month The oil is
growing heavier than it was when first dis
covered and now it is considered an in
ferior grade; still, it brings the required Al
cents barrel. The present indications are
that the field will develop into pool of
small but prolific dimensions. A close es-
innate shows that it takes twenty-four bar
rels of oil a day to pay expenses and royal
ty to run each well now pumping. About
1000 barrels day are consumed for fuel
purposes. 1t is found that it takes close to
ten barrels of oil a day to run a boiler, as
it is a very poor fuel. oil. The investors
will find that it does not pay to drill town
lots. for had a well been drilled on each
five or ten acres in this field it would GER
tainly been one of the greatest staying
fields on the globe, but the way it is drilled
it must go down in a very short time. No
rock can stand under the heavy drain for
any length of time. But the end of this
field is not yet seen. 1t has the deepest
and most promising oil formation in the
West The wells that live may surprise the
trade and live loEg and be profitable. John
Black and the Elcho Oil Company have
completed a test well on the Wallace farm,
three miles south of the town lot pool. 1t
proved a failure The we'll at Wabash, f1f-
teen miles east from here, found the sand
at LOO feet and is a failure. East from the
Ohio Oil Companys we'll, on the Zern farm,
the F'alk Oil Company has a well in on the
Bloomfield farm that is not showing very
good, and gives that part of the field a
very black eye The Peru Oil Company has
completed another good one on the canal
property, near the Ziegler wells. TAFT.
Boyd & Co. have five good producing wells
on the Wabash Railroad property. They
are getting about $50 barrels a day from
them. They have pulled the well on the
canal property, as it was considered good
for less than twenty barrels. This kind
of we'll in any other field would be con-
sidered a very good find. The territory is
great for its large amount of blue lick
water which may in time kill the produc-
ton Of the wells.

BROUGHT BACK $4,000
RETURN OF c. c. BURNS AFTER TWO
YEARS IN THE KLOxDIKE.
Tramway from Sheep Camp to Lake
ships for the Alaskan Service.

SEATTLE, Wash. Nov. 1O.-The steamer
Homer arrived here this afternoon from
Juneau, Alaska. Among her passengers
was C. c. Burns. who left Dawson City,
Sept. Is. Burns poled up the Yukon and
came out over the Chilkoot trail. Burns
stated that when he left Dawson no one had
started down the Yukon for provisions.
The people were daily expecting boats from
st. Michael's They thought the boats were
delayed by accident. and knew nothing of
their inability to ascend the stream. Burns
said there would be no starvation at Daw-
son this winter, though rations would be
limited with some.
According to Burns, the only new gold
discoveries made this year were on Sulphur
creek and that field was not proving as
rich as Eldorado or Bonanza creeks. Burns
brought with him about $1,000 in nuggets
and dust the result of two years work.
The Homer also brought out a party of
five surveyors, who have been locating and
surveying a route across the summit to
Lake Lndermann for Portland company.
of which d. il. Ross it as the head. They
report that one hundred men are at work
on a tramway to Lake Lindermann from
Sheep camp. The last work of the survey
ing party was done on the White pass. over
which it is proposed to have tramway in
operation by Feb. /. The first members of
the Canadian mounted police came down
from Sheep camp on the Homer.

Big Ships for the Alaskan Trade.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. T.-The most i'm
portant project yet launched for transporta-
ton to the Alaskan gold fields was consum-
mated here to-day, when the Yukon Com
pany. of Seattle, Wash, executed a con-
tract with the Roach Ship-building Com
pany, at Chester, Pa, for two fve-thou-
sand-ton steamships to ply between Seat
tie, WASH and st. Michael's, Alaska, to
connect at the latter point with the fleet
of twelve Yukon river steamers now being
built by Moran Bros. at Seattle. The ships
to be built at Roach's will be the largest
and most complete American steamships on
the Pacific coast. They will be 41S feet
long, As feet beam and II feet deep, and will
have a carrying capacity of 1920 tons and
loo passengers. All of the passengers will
have berth accommodations The ships are
designed to make a speed of sixteen knots
an hour, and it is claimed they will be the
81 100000, and work on them is to be pushed
night and day to have them ready for the
opening of navigation in the spring.
Andrew f. Burleigh, of Seattle, the pres
ident of the company on Monday signed
the contract with Moran Bros, at Seattle,
for fleet of twelve large river steamers
for the Yukon, to run from st. MichaePs
to Dawson City, in addition to two tow
boats and twenty-five freight barges. The
company will sell through tickets, with
frst-class passenger accommodations, and
emitting the passenger to carry q ton of
freight through from Seattle to Dawson
City, to be delivered at the latter point
within twenty days, which will beat all
records

STORY OF A MURDER.


Wellers first question, she said that Martin
Thorn had a long-bladed knife. She said
Thorn gave it to her the evening of the kill
ing and she retained it until they were
both riding together in the wagon on Sat-
urday. Thorn asked her about it and she
gave it to him. When she did so he threw
it away on the side of the road some dis
tance from WoOdside, but she could not To-
cate the exact place.
Later on Mr.. Howe asked for the revolt
yer which the detectives found in Mrs.
Nacks az artments. When it was produced
it was carefully examined by the attorneys
and then Mr.. Howe handed it to the wit
ness She said it belonged to Guldensuppe
and after he and Thorn had quarreled, Gull
densuppe unoaded it and put it away in a
closet.
Coroner Tuthill, of New York, was then
a human body found in the three bundles

bones had marks of a saw. During her eX-
animation Mrs. Mack never mentioned a
saw being used, neither did Gotha in his
report of Thorn's alleged confession to him.
Other witnesses were called, whose teSti-
mony was mainly in the line of Identifying
the body of Guldensuppe.
Bernard Bonla, the owner of the Wood
side cottage, followed the bath attendants
on the witness stand. He identified Thorn
and Mrs. Mack as the two persons who
representing themselves as Mr.. and Mrs
Braun, hired the cottage from him last

GREENCASTLE Ind, Nov. 10.-The cur
rent issue of the De Paw Palladium con-
tains a two-column roast on itself this
week that is creating a breeze in college
circles. The Palladium has a department

Opinion for which the editor states he is
not responsible for anything appearing I'M
der the head. This is free lance for any
one, and some one this week crticises
every one connected with the sheet. He
does this over the signature of "An Occa-

things:
The typographical appearance of the
Palladium is miserable and would dscredit
the worst class of country newspapers
The papers published by the State Uni

Each individual on the board tries to shift
his duty on the others, and then blames the
students when they are a little reluctant

The editorial policy of the paper is spoken

of the paper deal in glittering generalities
1t was expected that something practical
would be given the student body by an 'ex-

Decision for OiI-wen DrilIers.


HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Nov. TO- The
Blackford Circuit Court has made de-
cision which settles a g-disputed ques-
ton among oil operators and their lessees,
and which, at the same time, will put thou
sands Of dollars into the hands of oil oper-
ators. 1t has been the custom among farm
ers to hold casing, tubing, engines and 9TH
er drilling apparatus whenever a we'll was
drilled on their farm and then abandoned.
Usually the producer, rather than have
lawsuit, would pay the farmer in order to
remove his property from the abandoned
lease. Recently the Rowland-Zeigler Oil
Company removed its apparatus from the
William Schmidt farm seven miles east of
this city, and Schmidt retaliated by having
the men arrested for trespass. In the JUS
tees court the men were convicted. Judge
Vaughn, of the Blackford Circuit Court,
has reversed the decision and holds that
the company had a perfect right to move
the property at any time.
