Oil in Foreign Lands.

Charles w. Fulton, a we'll known
drlller in the oil fields, having oper-
ated in the Cairo, Whisky Run and
Wiliamstown oil fields, arrived here
en- Saturday from Sumatra, where he
spent the past year drilling oil wells.
He started on his homeward voyage
from Hong Kong, China, and came via
the Suez canal and spent several
weeks in London.
He was sent out to Sumatra by the
Oil Well Supply Co, accompanied by
A. NJ. PEBBLES and several other oil
men, at the instance of an English Oil
Co., with headquarters at Hong Kong.
Four wells were drilled, one of which
is making 700, another 500 and the
others are smaller wells. 1t was nee
essary to close down operations for a
year, as the refinery was not capable
Of taking care of the oil. Drilling was
easy, the formation being soft White
slate. The shallow wells are 200 and
300 feet deep, but the later wells, the
big producers, are 900 feet deep. The
stock CT the company was selling at 60
taels a share when Fulton began OPP
erations and was selling at 360 when
ne came away. He brought home
many interesting souvenirs.
While in London he was engaged by
man named Gillespie, the head of an
English syndicate to go to the Baku
oil fields in Russia to drill wells for
them on territory which they have Sc.
cured, in that field. He expects to leave
for there within the next few weeks

The Marietta Daily Leader
WEDNESDAY. FEB. 2s, 1900.
Jesse M. Gerken.

Jese NJ Gerken died at his home on
Sixth street Monday evening at 9
o'clock, and although he had been Ill
for many weeks and his condition was
considered hopeless, his death came as
a shock to his family and friends.
He had been afflicted with stomach
trouble for some time and the attack
which led to his death came on him
about two months ago.
The death OF Mr. Gerken seems
more of a calamity when 1t is consid-
cred that he was comparatively a
young man with splendid prospects of
a useful and successful life before him.
He was born IN 1867 and in 1891 was
united in marriage. He leaves a wife
and two children to whom the death
of the husband comes as a sad blow
indeed. Two brothers and four sisters
also survive him.
Mr.. Gerken was a cabinet maker by
trade and was was known as one of
the most skillful workmen in the city.
During the past few years he has also
engaged in contracting and building.
He was member of several secret
orders, among them being American
Union Lodge, No. l, F. & A. NJ, Har-
mar Lodge No. 118 l. o. o. F. and Ray
nald Lodge, No. S2, knights Of Pyth-
las, all of this city. OF last named
lodge he was Past Chancellor.
AS a man he was respected by all
who knew him, and loved by large
circle OF friends all of whom sincerely
regret his death.
The funeral services will be held at
the residence at 3 o'clock this after
noon
