Boni de Castellanes cablegram and
SAYS: I'VE disdain his insults. which do
not harm us. We shall be delighted to
meet him in the law court on condition
that the trial be a serious one and that
nothing be kept back which would throw
the fullest light on the matter. But owing
to the professional secrecy of stock
brokers, there is only one means of
clearly establishing the truth, and this
means lies in the hands of De Castellane.
Let him request the minister of finance
to send an inspector TO inquire at the stock
brokers-the minister of finance can alone
do this at De Castellane's request-and
then we shall know positively If De Cas-
teIlane has been slandered and if he never
speculated on the bourse This is the only
course open to De Castellane. Everything
else in his cablegrams of threats Is what
the Americans call a bluff

Profitable Activity Increasing in the
State-Line Pool.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MONTPELIER, Ind, Jan. 22.-The oil
business is looking much better in the new
State-line pool than it has for some few
weeks. The new activity is caused by the
drilling out of we'll No on the Dudgeon
farm in Section q, Blue Creek township,
Adams county, and owned by the Ohio Oil
Company. The we'll started at seventy-fve
barrels. No. we'll is now under way on
the same property. No. 1 well on this
farm, that drilled in over three
months ago, still maintains daily output
of forty barrels a day and is considered
one of the best staying wells in the State.
The Ohio Oil Company has an important
test well under way on the II. Parr farm,
in Section SO, Blue Creek township, Adams
county. and one and a half miles north
west from the Dudgeon farm producers.
The outcome of this well will be watched
with interest by the trade in general.
The Howe-Neeley Oil Company has just
completed a startling test well on the j.
II. Wiggers farm, in Section 10, Center
township, Grant county, and a mile east
from Marion. and a mile south of the Van
Vactor farm well, where the explosions

LIMA. o., Jan. 22.-Lima crude oil jumped
cents a barrel to-day. The increased
prices have stimulated work. but there is
not much increase in production. Hundreds
of wells are drilling, but only light pro-
ducers are being struck. The present
prices are: North Lima, $l.4; South Lima.
and Indiana, $1.19.
MONTPELIER. Ind, Jan. Pin the past
week Indiana crude has gone up seven
cents and Eastern two cents. which shows
that Western oil is getting on an equality
with the Eastern product. The raise to-
day has put several thousand dollars in cir
culation in this vicinity. AS soon as the in
crease was marked up. many farmers came
in and sold their oil. Others are holding il
for higher prices. which are almost sure TO
come, as the field is nearly shut down, on
account of bad roads.
