PROSPECTS GOOD.
They are Very Encouraging for
a Continued Increase in
THE PRICE OF THE FLUID,
Allen County Furnishes the
Principal Attraction.

Enthusiasm prevails throughout
the oil fields over the steady in
crease in the price of the product,
which has been a great feature of
the month. The stock of the
crude product is rapidly diminish
ing, and with no prominent field in
sight to food the market, the price
is sure to advance still higher. The
cream of the oil field has been de-
veloped, and there remains no hope
of charging the scope in the Ohio
field, but the chances are better in
the Indiana field.
In the Ohio field the bulk of the
present operations are confined to
old territory, where good wells are
being completed, but they fail to
keep the declining production
where it was a year ago. Few new
fields are being opened up in Ohio
at the present time. The most
prominent field for new work is in
Perry and Jackson townships of
Allen county, where some good
wells are being completed, and the
older districts there are being some
what enlarged.
The well on the Hall farm, a
couple OF miles north of Lafayette,
in Jackson township, Allen county,
has caused some excitement, as it
did couple of tanks a day, and
several more wells are under activi-
ty around the we'll on the DR.. Belts
farm, where oil was found at the
depth of 135 feet in the Trenton
formations. This we'll will lead
to the deepening of a great number
of the old wells in the Lima field.
Should a second pay be found in
the oil field there, it will certainly
increase the daily output of the
product. Out of 43 wells COM
pleted in Allen county during Oc
tober six were dry.
Capital is certainly looking for
investments in the Northwestern
Ohio oil field, as a number of good
sales have been made during the
month.
While the recapitulations show
that SO fewer wells were completed
in October than iii September, it
does not signify that the oil bust
ness is tagging any. The reason OF
the decline is due to the fact that
there Is but little desirable territory
in sight to drill. Leasers are wan
dering over the country taking up
everything In sight. The following
tables show the operations for the
month just closing, and are full of
interest to all:

Sometimes the little piece of land
that has been discarded In disgust
by the former lessees proves to be
a veritable gold mine and then the
aforesaid owner thinks of those de-
plorable lines. cit might have
BEEN" This promises to be the
case with the Summers lease in
Elk Fork. It has been owned by
different parties, but never was con-
sidered of sufficient value to justify
the risking of any money to de-
ve1op it. Now a rafting good well
is about to be brought in. And that
is the case with many tract OF
land in this old county which has
been surrendered as worthless for
oil development.

It cost twenty thousand dollars
to coal the Oregon at Punte Arena,
the most southern town in the
world, situate on the Strait OF Ma
gellan. The coal cost $22 per ton.
If the United States had been pos
sessed OF a coating station there,
the cost would have been a
very many of thousands of
dollars less. A commercial ma.
ton, and we hope to become that
in the near future, must have many
coaling stations all around the
globe. Whether we need the is
lands of the sea as colonies or not,
may be a disputed question, with
good arguments on both sides, but
there can be no denial of the fact
that we do need coaling stations
where our men-of-war and our mer-
chant navy can secure coal and
other supplies at rates that will en-
able them to compete with the ships
of any nation. ...

Serious Case of Itching and Bleeding
Piles Cured.

For nearly year I was afflicted
with itching and bleeding piles,and
was so bad that 1 could not sit
down without a great deal of pain.
I doctored and used all the different
kinds of pile medicine I could hear
of, without any benefit. Six months
ago tried San.Cura Ointment; the
second application gave me great
relief, and half a bottle cured me
completely. I have had no trouble
since. M. W. BUCHANAN,

to the muscular fascia just above and a

"The attachment must be made firmly
by splitting the fascia and drawing the
muscle through, so that it becomes ad-
herent to both inner and outer surfaces
Kangaroo tendon is used for sutures,
being the best material. The wound is
then closed, and the whole thigh is
bandaged, and finally plaster of paris

The patient is kept recumbent for two
weeks at least, gentle. 1notion is com

II IS FOUNDATIONLESS.
STOCKS DECLINE WHOLLY UNwARRANTED


"The report is absolutely founda-
tlonless as far as the Northern Light
company is concerned. To me 1t ap-
pears as rumor for effect, got up by
some of the brokers who resort to this
means in order to bear the stock thus
forcing the unsophisticated to unload
It at ruinous figures"
SO spoke state Treasurer Chapman
today, when questioned by a News"
reporter concerning the current rumor
that Northern Light stock was to be
assessed. Mr.. Chapman is Il director,
and one OF the heaviest stockholders in
the company and his words are here
given for what they are worth. He
speaks with authority, as II such u
move as that intimated was afoot, he.
above all others, would certainly know
something about It.
The rumor of an assessment was
much In evidence in mining stock cir
rles today. Especially was 1t glazing on
the exchange, where the stock was
crowded to the wall, and where sales
were made at as low figure as %
cents, while 22is was the closing bid
with liberal offerings at "a. Such de-
days, suggests that there Is something
wrong and that something apparently
not with the property. on the con-
tfary, reports from the mine are the
very essence of encouragement. VIII
orr, the cyanide expert. who visited 1t
a few days ago, is quoted as saying
that the company's ore bodies can be
handled successfully by the cyanide
process, and his faith in the ultimate
outcome OF operations Is said to be such
as to have led the gentleman to invest
ment Besides. the mill is now running
very satisfactorily and in a few days
a good shipment of cyanides IL looked
for The mine also is said to be looking
well, and reports from Superintendent
Legg are to the effect that frequent
discoveries OF high grade ore are being
made. In view OF these conditions.
there Is no seeming reason for the
stocks sensational declines the past
few days, and unwary stockholders
should beware lest they are bitten.

The stock to call forth the greatest
amount of attention on today's call was
Northern Light, whose surprising and
unwarranted decline is already noted
In this column. Starting with trans
fers at % cents. there was a gradual
descent until the stock reached 90 cents,
at which point sales thereof ceased.
Geyser- Marion did business at 80 cents,
while Sacramento was dealt in at SIG

have sold little above this figure.

ness, for the stock steadily advanced

was demand therefor at s2.s5, with

and Atlanta districts and the HALEY
