SANTA Fe, n. NJ, September "a
Probably the finest collection of cut tur-
quoise ever sent in one shipment from
American mines left here to-day for New
York by Wells Fargo express. There were
twenty-five stones aggregating in weight
SO karats. and in the collection were four
gems which weigh respectively 81, 80 80
and 50 karats. The latter, a pear shaped
stone. is valued at $500. 1t is said that
this is the largest display of American
turquoise ever made The stones are of a
light sky blue and much harder than the
ordinary turquoise, The mines are in
southern New Mexico, but their exact To-
cation is kept a profound secret.

ne Hill Oll company nave finally
drilled in their No. l on the Hill farm,
in the Elk Fork territory, in Tyler
county, and the well when completed
started off at about 40 barrels an hour,
and since that time has been increas-
ing in production until yesterday even
ing it was reported making about As
barrels an hour. This we'll is thought
by the majority of the oil men to be
the salvation of this pool, as it seems
that all other parties with this one ex-
ception is cut off by either small wells
or dry holes. The Hill Oil Company
have made a number Of locations en-
this farm, and are preparing to drill
them at once. The rigs for two of the
wells have been started and others will
be started in a few days. Henry &
Mcdonald and Crawford & Treat both
have large amount of stuff in close
proximity to the Hill well, and have
made arrangements to drill their prop
erty at once. The former company
has made several locations and have
commenced work on a couple of rigs,
while Crawford & Treat are doing the
same thing, and business in that sec
ton is booming.
The Carter Oil Companys test well on
the Hood farm, at Wilson'S run, will
be due in the sand this week, and its
advent is being watched expectantly
by the talent. The Wilson run terri
tory has been attracting quite a lot of
attention lately, and while it is not
thought very we'll of, yet in that sec
ton there is no telling where a good
well may be found, and as a rule the
large pools are discovered in the most
unexpected places, and it would not be
a great surprise if one was found at
Wilson's run.
Perhaps the most important devel-
opment outside of Elk Fork at present.
and that which is attracting the most
attention among the oil men, is that at
wells have recently been drilled in.
There are quite number of wells
drilling in this territory at present,
and some of the most important ones
should reach the sand very shortly.

Largest Brick Building,

Every few know it, but it is fact, -
explained prominent builder to a re-
porter, "that the pension Office building
is the largest brick building in the
world. It has been subjected to much
criticism, but it can stand it, for as
time passes along there are many things
seen about it that escaped notice when
it was newer. In all there are over 1O,-
900, 1000 bricks in the building. General
Meigs took liberties with bricks that no
other architect had ever attempted. He
not only used bricks exclusively for the
building, but he used them in construct
ing the stairs throughout the building.
In the matter Of stair building bricks
have often been used for the riser, but
the step has always been Of iron, wood,
slate or stone. In the pension office both
riser and step are of brick. As a brick
building, therefore, pure and simple, it
is unique in construction outside Of the
fact that it is the largest exclusively
brick building in the world. - Wash

Turkish Trafnc In Slaves.

Slave dealing in Constantinople, AZ
we know, always exists, and the wife
of i pasha is not above the wretched
business. Richard Davey, in his book.
''The Sultan and His Subjects, . says:
"a good deal Of Turkish traffic in
slaves is conducted in the following
manner on very well conceived COM
mercial principles: The wife Of pasha,
as matter of speculation, purchases
two or three little girls for trifie,
either from slave dealer or some poor
woman, generally a Christian, possibly
a Bulgarian refugee who is unable to
bring up her own children. The lady
educates each child, teaches it those &C.
complishments which are Indispensable
to harem life. such as singing, dancing
and playing on musical instruments,
washing, starching, ironing, embroid-
cry and even a little cookery. To this
may be added smattering Of some for
eign language and a very elementary
knowledge of Turkish caligraphy. When
the child is grown up, if she is hand
some the lady turns her to account
and literally repays herself for her
trouble by selling her at . high figure
to some pasha Of her acquaintance
through the medium Of one Of the we'll
known old women whose business it il
to carry out transactions Of that sort z

course hum and noise Of the betting
men are heard and increase in volume
as the bell rings the second time. They
are of! And the fascination Of rapid
motion, open air and strenuous exertion
throws its spell over the assembly, high
and low, for trotting is certainly the
most fashionable and beloved sport in
Russia. You cannot recognize people

Russians think differently, and. besides,
are there not plenty of vodka and caviare
to be had between the races?
