A Veteran Railroad Conductor Retires.
"A letter from Cumberland, Md, dated April
Sd, says: capt. Harry Green, the Oldest con-
ductor in the Baltimore d Ohio service, has
wound up career of 81 years with the COM
pany and retired. He has spent 46 years on
passenger trains. Captain Green's windup
trip last Friday was from Cumberland to Bal
and will retire to his farm. Capt. Green was
never suspended or called before board of
inquiry for any dereliction.
His life on the rail was also peculiarly ex-
empt from accident, the only one of any seri-
GUS character occurring just as he was round
ing up his career. This was last November,
when a run-in occurred in the South Cumber-
land yards. Fireman Massey, of Baltimore,
was killed, Engineer Kindle badly injured and
Capt. Green was thrown from the platform to
the track, but escaped harm. He refused then
to take vacation which the company offered
him and kept right on in the service. He re-
tires on pension"
Capt Green is a native of the 9Th district of
Baltimore county, where he still has num-
Der of relatives living. Some time ago THE
UNION published an interesting sketch of his
career.

The Nursery Firm Won the Suit-A case
of considerable interest was tried in the Circuit
Court here few days ago. Thomas Rakestraw
and Josiah Way Pyle, trading as Rakestraw &
Pyle, nurserymen of Willowdale, Chester
county, Pa, sold to Mr.. Richard s. Culbreth
lot of nursery stock in 1897, for which he gave
his note. When the note became due Mr..
Culbreth refused to pay it, alleging that the
stock furnished was not of the quality the
plaintiffs agreed to furnish, and that large
portion of it died. The jury gave verdict for
1892, the full amount of plaintiffs claim.
Meat House Burned-About II o'clock
on Sunday night last the frame meat house on
the property of Mr.. A. A. Piper, near Glen
Arm Station, lower Long Green Valley, to-
gether with lot of meat, some tools, etc., were
destroyed by fire. Fortunately there was no
wind at the time and the other buildings on
the place escaped. The fire was caused by
boy putting some hot ashes into barrel in
the house. The heat from the burning build
ing destroyed some ornamental trees on the
lawn.

United Verde company in the near future will be oil, says the Jerome correspondent of the Re
 publican It is also in the bounds of reason that the oil will be produced in the newly discovered regions near Mineral Point. The machinery for bor- ing will be on the ground in six ty days, or less time. The his tory of the discovery is as fol lows; A party recently passed over the country two miles from the railroad, and detected the smell of petroleum in the breeze, which was blowing in certain direction. Investigating a little he found that the smell came from a little hill and fiat mesa. Picking up some of the rock there he smelled it and found that it contained petroleum. He
 brought some of the formation to Jerome and gave it to Dr.
 Wood, telling him where he had
The copper era., 1900-08-30

found it, and all the particulars. Dr. Wood took the rock to the assay office and had it tested. The assayer told him to bet . few dollars on the proposition. Dr. Wood sent piece of the rock to California by a party who compared it with the crop pings of the best oil regions in that state. The comparison showed that the Jerome rock was identical with the forma- tion there. Everything being favorable Drs. Wood and Hart and their associates concluded to do a little boring. They took up some ground and sent for the machinery. Dr. Wood says that if they don't strike oil they might strike water, and that water would be pretty good. Oil is like gold, where you find it, and there is no reason why ii should not be found in Arizona as well as in California.

The Engineering and Mining Journal of August 11th, speak ing of the regulations of the General Land Office, Interior De partment, says: ''The law pro- vides that any mineral lands in any forest reservation which have been or which may be shown to be such, and subject to entry under the existing mining laws of the United States and the rules and regulations apply ing thereto, shall continue to be subject to such location and en- try, notwithstanding the reser- vatiOn. This makes mineral lands in forest reserves subject to location and entry under the general mining laws, in the usual manner. Owners of valid min ing locations made and held in good faith under the mining laws of the United States and the regulations hereunder, are auth orized and permitted to fell and remove from such mining claims any timber growing thereon, for actual mining purposes in con nection with the particular claim from which the timber is felled or removed"
The copper era., 1900-08-30

Mineral entries of public land can only be made under the min ing law: in homestead entry res idence is compulsory ; desert land entry costs S1.25 per acre D cents when entry is made, re- mainder when proof is made. There must also be an expendi- ture of $1 per acre per year for three years tending to the recla- nation of the land.
