"A NEW OIL FIELD
May be Developed in the Vicinity
OF Frceport, Ohio.
WHEELING AND OTHER OIL men
Are Interested in a Number of Test
Wells that are now Being put Down.
The Geological and Other Indica-
lions Favor nh Other Scio Develop.
mcntin This Section of HARRISON
County-List of the Test Wells.

The attention OF oil spectators for
the next sixty days will be. rlveted on
the progress OF test developments
around Harrison county, Ohio This
territory Is quite broken in surface for
nation. and the old Pennsylvanians on
the ground are much attracted by this
feature. as well as Its similarity to
some Of their old time hnunts where
gushers belched forth. 1t is also the
centre OF the geological stratitication
known as the Freeport sandrock out
crop. which Is worked BY various stone
quarries around the village. The sur
rounding "rock- ribbed" hills and the
Jagged natural walls OF the Romantic
Bear Den park certainly Indicate that
Dame Nature was at least somewhat
freakish In the formation Of this terri
tory. These romantic surroundings
seem TO be quite encouraging presag-
ers in the minds OF spectators, as well
as the fact that this territory comes
within the limits OF that mysterious
forty-five degree line from OH City and
Scio.
But probably the strongest Incentive
for the further development of this
field is the producing Rocky Run wells,
four miles south. which were drilled
In some two years ago BY local CON-
pany. The wells and contiguous
leases have been purchased by the Ale
chang OIL company, which is giving
this field its attention since the sale Of
It's Scio interests to the United States
OIL company. 1t is argued that these
wells are as favorable presagers OF a
pool as the Jewett wells were OF the
Scio pool.
Last Monday drilling began on the
House farm, three miles north of Free
port, by Pittsburgh spectators. On
Tuesday Canton capitalists started to
drill on the Matthews farm, two and
one-half miles south Of town. A rig is
just completed on the Shugart farm,

will be started at once by Wheeling
operators. On the Breen farm, four
miles south. on the edge of Guernsey
county, Cleveland prospectors have
contracted q rig. Unknown parties
have located on the MillIson farm, four
miles west Of town. on the edge Of
Tuscarawas county. Scio parties have
started rig on the Wilson farm,
three miles northwest OF town, while
another location is reported on the La.
than farm. a mile and half north
west.
Thus Freeport is the centre OF ter
ritory that is undergoing tests The
hotels are having rushing trade and
the liverymen's pocketbooks grow fat
while his teams grow lean from being
driven through the hub-deep mud by
anxious lease hunters. The farmer who
has withstood the importunlngs of the
block leasers is now being bewlldered
by ALTERING propositions.

A LOne-Distauce Message.

From the London Mail.
The telegraph offices of the London-Brus-
sells and the London-Paris cable companies
are directly opposite each other in one Of
those narrow streets of London where one
hardly has room enough TO change his
mind.
The operators are good friends, and often
when work is slow cross to each other TO
have friendly chat.
1t happened during the English Soudan
stantly at their instruments. not having
time for calls. The operator of the Paris
cable discovered that he had left his pine
on the table of his colleague across the
way the night previous.
To go over for it was an impossibilty
The clicking of the instrument would not
permit even rising from his chair lie
could not catch the eye of his friend to
communicate to him by signs
He called the Dover office to connect him
with Calais, across the channel; then the
operator there put him on with Paris,
thence with Chalon, Coblentz, Brussels Os-
tend and back I'd England with his COM
rade across the way.
Then he sent the following message: 'If
It is possible for you to return my pipe
without it being compelled to follow the
route of my dispatch, please do so imme-
diately- His friend happened to have an
assistant, who took the pipe over at once.
This message travelled through England,
France, Germany Belgium and England.
