SOUTH PENN LEASING.
Leasers for the South Penn Oil
company are securing the country
between Ben's run and Friendly,
and are leasing everything in sight.
They are, in some instances, pay
in good bonuses, and in all cases
are paying heavy rentals, ranging
from rs to IS cents per acre a
month. 1t is evident they think
we'll of that country, and will drill
several tests during the fall and
winter.
Operations back of Friendly have
been delayed for some time, owing
to a scarcity of water. Parties who
are operating down there think the
rain of yesterday will allow them
to start up again.

AN IMPORTANT STRIKE.
A very important strike was mac e
by Boyd Bros. in the Peasants
county shallow sand on Saturday
evening last. The we'll is located
on the Virden farm on French
creek, and is fully FIVE miles ahead
of developments. This is by Jar
the most important strike made in
the shallow sand in years and a
good pool has surely been tapped.
The we'll Is making 80 barrels nat

On Elk run Hosford, Cowell and
others will be due Friday at their
test we'll on the Henthorn farm.
The Carter Oil company will also
be due at about the same time at

The Wilson run territory came
to the front yesterday with a fine
new we'll and the excitement in re-

increase. During the past couple
of weeks there have been several
good wells drilled in over there and
it commences to look as though the
operators in that section had found
something out of the ordinary
Gordon & Co. have drilled in a

of the field. This company was the
one that drilled in the well yester'
day on the Edwards farm which
started off at about $50 barrels
when the drill was only two feet in
the sand and it is believed that
when it is drilled deeper that it will
be good for several hundred barrels
day.
This we'll is located on the north
east extension and is some little
distance ahead of developments.
It will make a good producer
of not less than about three nun
dred barrels a day. The well is To-
Gated on the Edwards 6o.acre lease.
The Fisher Oil company which
owns the we'll, will start several
more rigs at once and the wells will
be drilled as soon as it is possible
to complete the rigs. The same
company has made couple of To-
cations on the Snodgrass farm and
will commence work on the rigs at
once.
Gordon & Co. are drilling two
wells on the Poulton farm and will
start a couple more wells on sever
al of their other leases in a short
time. This company has made
preparations for drilling about ten
wells this fall, and the work will be
commenced in short time.
The Carter Oil company which
has a number of leases in the Will
son run territory, is not doing a
great deal of work at present, but
will start some new wells in a
couple of weeks. This company
has some of the best territory in
that field and they will develop it as
soon as possible.
Over in the Elk run territory the
Carter Oil Co. has moved the rig
of their No. on the Musser and
will start new hole at once. The
old we'll was plugged at about
eight hundred feet about the mid

The United States forces have
at last secured firm footing on
Cuban soil, and have obtained for.
titled positions on the coast near
Santiago. There is no doubt in
military circles that the United
States will gradually get possession
of all of Cuba outside of Havana.
That city will probably be left for
the last move in the war. The
largest Spanish army is gathered
there, and the most effective way
to subdue it Is to starve it out.
The port is blockaded, cable CON-
munication is cut off, and the
Spanish forces are dong no harm.
Porto. Rico will soon fall into
American hands, and the large
reinforcements going to the Phil.
ippines will hold those islands
secure.
