Gainesville. Fla. June 29.-while there
has been little said on the subject, and
no excitement attending it, oil has been
discovered in Alachua county. within FIVE

that the ''oil fever will now seize upon
the speculative constitutions Of our citi-
Gems There is a story attached to the
discovery of this oil vein. The gentleman
who claims to own the newly discovered
oil well, gives the following history of
the discovery:
Several years ago this gentleman was
boring well upon his place
Water was reached, and the use
OF 1t begun. Not long after the
man discovered an oily taste and smell to
the water Having misunderstanding ne
gro working for him. he made up his
mind that the boy had poured oil in
the we'll, and he at once proceeded TO
lick the boy in good fashion. Several
Gays went on, and the water became
strongly impregnated with oil, and the
man finally bored another WELL but like
the first it soon became useless, the oil
flavor and taste making 1t unfit for use.

Nothing was thought of the matter
until the discovery of oil in Marion coun-

question Immediately thought of his wells

water He sent it to chemist, and inn

ceived a letter stating that the water
contained high per cent. of Oil. The
gentleman refuses to make known the
location of the wells, and also refuses
TO make known his name just at present.

made at once, and if oil is there he
will begin operations to place 1t on
