Scouts returning rom Washington and
Monroe counties, Ohio, report that
great deal OF leasing is being done. 1t
is not confined to any one particular
locality, but all over underlined and I'M
tested sections the leasers are unusu-
ally active. While extensive leasing Is
in vogue, those who are securing the
oil and gas rights in that section are
evidently not bent upon paying rentals
or any great length of time Already
several very important tests are being
started, and when it becomes generally
known the talent will await their COM
pletion in breathless anxiety.
Among the most important of these
are Shay d McMullin's No. l Hanhn.

Mills; the Carter Oil Company's No. L
Robert Algd, at Brownsville, in the
edge CT Monroe county, located directly
between the old Sistersville field and
the Elk run pool. This latter named
location is the most important from
the fact that it is being drilled upon
the theory that a connecting link Of the
two pools should exist. The well
above mentioned on the Hill farm is
due in the sand to-day. The foregoing
list of wildcats will open up or con-
denim vast amount Of territory. The
diffusiveness Of the locations in case
busters are scored, will place many now
promising farms in jeopardy.

BILL ALLEN FOUND.
He Wrote his Family But Another
Got The letter.

A. c. B. Allen returned Monday
from Wagner where he went to as
certain the whereabouts of his broth
er, William, who disappeared some
days ago and whose absence could not
be accounted for.
Bill Allen had left Pryor Creek and
on his way home struck up with a
man at CofTeyville who hired him TO
20 to that place and do some carpen-
ter work for him. Mr.. Allen wrote a
letter home TO his wife at Wagner
explaining his absence, but another
Allen by the same initials got the let
ter and kept it.
A party was organized to start
Tuesday morning TO search for the
missing man, but as good luck would
have it, he arrived home Monday night
and the search was thus rendered un-
necessary.
