Oil Possibilities Of Forest County.

People have often inquired why Forest
county has never attracted the attention
of prospective 'wild-catters'' to greater
degree, since it lies on the "magic belt"
or 450 line Northeast and Southwest,
from the Allegheny field to the Brad
ford field of the North. No county on
the belt shows so many distinct stratas of
sand, all being more or less productive,
and each having its peculiari'ies. Among
the principle sands are found the Claren-
don, Gusher, Balltown, Cooper, Queen
and Grey-all very rich in oil. Traces of
Bradford sand are found to contain show
ings of oil; the Clarion county sand is
also productive in this county.
The shallow sand known as the Lytle
is productive on Cropp Hill and has
good staying qualities; but tits common
ly known that the Balltown sand was the
most productive of any sand yet discov-
cred, and attracted the attention of more
operators than any other pool in the belt.
A strange fact exists that nearly all the
Developments, with the exception of
few local instances, have been on the
north Of Tionesta creek, S5 per cent. ofall
these wells drilled being productive.
Very little drilling bas ever been done
from the mouth of the creek to Balltown,
distance of 25 miles. Forty-two years
ago there was we'll drilled by water
power Oh Little Coon creek, with show
ing uf gas and oil; IL years later there
was a well drilled at Golinza by Fink
bine, a well-known Clarion operator;
the well filled up and ran over the cas-
ing but was never pumDed nor shot.
Later P. NJ. Shannon drilled three wells
on lands Of Il. D. Collins. This is about
the extent of the Development in that
section.
We predict that it will not be long be-
fore these thousands of acres of undevel-
oped territory viii he thoroughly tested,
the abroad making it easier and cheaper
to get the drilling material on the ground.
Even at this late date there has been
scarcely enough drilling to demonstrate
the fact that there are six oil bearing
sands in an area of 100 square miles. So
with all these facts before us there is no
reason why the so per cent. of Forest
county that is undeveloped should not be
drilled at profit to the operator.

A Standard Among Newspapers.

Rejecting in its widening circulation
and increased advertising patronage the
prosperity that marks the opening of the
new year the Pittsburg Times more than
ever impresses upon its readers the ex-
cellence of its high staudard and the sue.
cess of its efforts to make model paper
for the individual and for tho family.
The Times is newspaper, sparing no
pains nor expense tn cover the world
thoroughly every day, that its current
page OF history may be complete, ana in
its longer range overlooking nothing
that occurs at home. 1t is clean, digni-
6ed and reliable. certain that no lack of
tlIee fea ures can be made up in offen-
sive sensalionalism. II can he taken
into the family circle with confidence
that its columns are filled with whole
some instruction and enterta mment.
Wherever known the Times is recognized
as the best type of G noise, crisp and
complete newspaper, and among news
paper men it is the publication WIKI
which comparisons of excellence are
made. While the Times is Republican
in poitics it realizes that o,bers have a
fright to be on earth, and that politics are
not everything. When one cent day
will buy morning paper i is foolish to
be wilhot1pue. The Times is three dol
lars year or six gents week, and
worth the money.

A. II. JOcelyn, Dead.


Death has again claimed another old
oil man, A. II. Jocelyn, who passed away
in Brooklyn, MY, Friday nigh'llast. Mr..
Jotelyn came to the oil regions in the fall
of 1864, and bought of John Green three
farms on the head waters of Stewarls run,
comprising 356 acres, for which he paid
John Green the sum of 600. This was
before the United States well was struck.
This we'll, on the Holeman farm, Pithole
creek, flowed $50 barrels day, Mr.J0ce-
lyn had the three farms surveyed off INTO
acre lots and stocked out for 81 900, ,OOO but
the flood OF March 1865 completely knock
cd out oil speculation before lie had his
oil company fairly completed. In the
summer of 1865 Mr.. Jocelyn built a
house at a cost of 81 600 and drilled two
wells. He got oil in both, but theS were
not flowing wells. He then returned to
New York city and established a slate
factory, clearing $4,000 a year for the
following ten years. AT the expiration
of that time he disposed of the business
and went west to Leadville aud Califor-
ma. He was originally a bank note en-
graver. Mr.. and Mrs. Jocelyn were in
TItusville. in the summer OF 1895, visiting
at the home of Hon. and Mrs. William
Barnsdal. Deceased was a good hearted
man and a scholar, and as such will be
remembered by many oil region friends.

Good Men at the Front in York State.

The following from the Olean Morning
Wheeler of Endeayof, and shows that
York State puts her best men to the
front:
"In the cemmittee assignments an
uounced in tho assembly last night, the
legislators representing this county aie
members of the most important commit
tees in the Legislative body. Hon. VIM.
L. Wheeler of this district, is a member
of the ways and means, the committee
first in importance and responsibility in
the house. 1t is committee coveted by
all the members because of the influence
it bears to Legislation. Mr.. Wheeler's
selection is deserved in his ability to
meet the responsibility involved, but it
is no less high honor that he has been
assigned to its membership. He has also
been selected as member of the commit
tee on canals. This copmiltee will have
large andjmportant duties this year, as
the question of the states future policy as
to its water ways will receive more than
Attention at the present legislative
session His selection can be safely at
tributed to his intelligent comprehension
of large questions, for in the canal policy
of the future is an issue requiring the
best thought of careful, conservative,
broad gauge thinkers to satisfactorily
solve. As to the other committeeships,
public lands and forestry, they are of inn
portadce, and in themselves might we'll
content many members as tribute to
their legislative standing.

Tired of Empire.

American officers in the Philippines,
from General Macarthur down, appar-
emily find little satisfaction in the for
eign service of conquest to which they
have been detailed by an imperialist
| administration striving for territory
| demanded by spirit utterly hostile to
| that of true Americanism.
There is something extremely signifi-
cant in the news that General MacAr-
thur, in supreme command in the Phil
| ipplnes; General Bates, in command of
Southern Luzon, and General Grant,
doing general field work, have official
ly expressed their desire to be relieved
from further service in the Far East.
The disgust which has led them to
request their recall from the front ex-
tends down the line. Only a few
months ago the fact became public that
so many American officers in the Phil
ippines had rendered their designations
that the War Department felt it neces-
sary to refuse acceptance of any resig-
nation save on authenticated grounds
of physical disability for further active
duty.
The requests of Generals Macarthur,
Bates and Grant for release from serv-
ice in the Philippines mark the climax
of this spirit of disgust that has pos
sessed the souls of officers of Repub-
| lie who have been compelled to fight
for Empire. Ii there was any real
American glory to be gained in the
Philippines such men as Macarthur.
Bates and Grant would be eager for it.
But they are tired of fighting against
liberty. It is not in their American
blood to relish such fighting .-St. Louis
Republic.

Matter of Dollars and Cents.

The expressions, in a recent inter-
view, of Congressman Ray, who is
chairman of the judiciary committee
of the house, anent the effect of the
decision in a case pending before the
federal supreme court touching the
constltutionality of the Porto Rican
tariff, are interesting as indicating the
view certain Republican leaders take
of the contingency OF ruling adverse
to the Foraker bill.
The decision, he says, will show Re-
publicans where they stand and enable
them to proceed intelligently. If the
court sustains the Republican conten-
tion that Porto Rico is not part of
the United States, but territory belong
ing to the United States and that, there
fore, the constitutional provisions for
uniform taxation throughout the United
States does not apply to Porto Rico.
the same will hold good with regard to
the Philippines. Congress can then
frame a tariff bill for the Philippines.
concludes Mr.. Ray, which will provide
the necessary revenue for the govern
ment of the Philippines on progressive
lines and so afford the necessary pro-
lection to our own manufacturers and
labor.
Asked what his party would do if the
decision went against the Porto Rican
legislation, he said: 1T might necessi-
tate our having to give up the Philip
pines. If we can not raise a tariff
against Philippine products coming in-
to the United States, then our labor
would be brought into competition with
the cheap labor of the orient. II that
condition should come about we might
feel that our interests demand our with
drawal from the Philippines.
This is frank admission that the
interest the Republican party feels in
the Philippines proceeds entirely from
pecuniary consideration. What, under
the Ray explanation, becomes of the
fine-spun sentiment paraded by Roose-
velt. Wolcott and other Republican
orators during the campaign, that ''the
flag shall never be Withdrawn from a
country in whose soil so many brave
American soldiers are sleepingP" What
becomes of the bombastic phrase-mak-
ing of the president in his notification
speech and letter of acceptance about
..conferring the blessings of American
institutions, of liberty, progress and
Christianity upon people placed un-
der our authority by the decree of
Providence?'
Ray has got the situation down right.
The Republican party's motive for
holding onto the Philippines resides
entirely IN its consideration for the
dollars and cents involved In such a
course.-Kansas City Times.

To the Bitter End.

It has been quite a year since General
Roberts strategy captured Bloemfon-
tein, the capital of the Orange Free
State. That event was heralded in
England as the beginning of the end
of the British-Boer war. II was also,
the London papers said. the breaking
of the backbone of Boer resistance.
But the Beers haye, nevertheless,
been fighting ever since. Though all
their towns of Importance have been
taken, one bv one, by the immense
armies that were hurled against them;
though their ranks have been thinned
by slaughter and capture, they have
managed to keep up such a resistance
against England with few scattered
bands and commanders that the British
government dares not withdraw any
considerable part of its army of over
200, 900 men from the South African
scene of war.
With all the fighting, all the maneu-
vering, all the marching, all the cap
lures effected by the British, the bitter
struggle seems no nearer definite
conclusion than it was when Lady
smith. Mafeking and Kimberly were
beleagured by the Beers.
While the exiled president OF the
Transvaal is the idol of the hour in
France. the forces of Botha and De
Wet are again spreading CONSERVATION
among the British by their daring in
vasion of the country around Wetsdorp,
and the London press is SO wrought
up by the boldness OF the Beers that it
is frantically discussing the probabili-
ties of the burgher army capturing
Bloemfontein and forcing the British
to go over again the task Of reconquer-
ing the entire Orange Free State.
The seriousness of the situation, even
allowing FOR exaggeration, must be adj
mitted. How long will this state of
affairs keep England's enormous army
practically tied up in Africa and utterly
unavailable for meeting the exigencies
of a war in another part of the globeP
If Russia or France should become
embroiled with England in the near
future, the Beers might prove in the
final equation the undoing of the nation
that has made of their country scene
of carnage and devastation.
1t looks as If the words of venerable
Paul Kruger at Marseilles are justified:
"If the Transvaal and Orange Free
State must lose their independence, 1t
will be because all the people have
been destroyed with their women and
children. kansas City Times.
