BEAUMONT GUSHE
A COrSlCana Producers Opinion Of the New
Texas Oil Field.


John Davidson, manager for the Ma
varro Oil company, and the man wht
made the first discovery in the Cor
sicana oil fields. makes the following
statement concerning the Beaumon
oil field:
"The Beaumont field is greatly over.
estimated, both as to quality and guam.
tity. At the present stage of the game
it is purely a wildcat proposition. ThG
big Lucas well is rather a freak of ma.
| turn, and is not well understood by any
of the oil talent. 1t has little or no
gas, yet flows with great pressure
from some cause, probably water. AS
it now is it is a wonder, and is produc-
ing, think, from 1000 to 10000 barrels
daily.
There is no development going on
just at present Some contracts for
new wells have ben made, but they are
very few This is owing to the fact
that the Beaumont people are holding
their property at too high figure, and
conservative oil men will not touch it,,
save at their own figures.
"If other wells similar in capacity to
the Lucas geyser are discovered it will
reduce the price of oil in that field to
a 10-cent market, and as the product is
fuel oil. for which a market must be
created, it will require from one to two
years to develop the market sufficiently
to guarantee drilling. The Beaumont
oil is deficient in paraffine and kero.
sene, and is highly impregnated with
sulphur. AS you can see from this
sample, the oil is dark green in color,
similar to the product of the Lima
field, but is very deficient in gravity,
measuring only 221h. Had it been
light oil of 40 degrees it would have
ruined this field. However. the his
tory of all fields, this one included,
shows that different grades of oil are
found in the same locality. and there
is no reason why the Beaumont field
should be AN exception.
THE oil map recently published in
the Houston Post was, of course, pure
ly imaginary. The Beaumont fed has
no connection with this; it is a totally
different grade. My idea is chat OIL
has been escaping into thegulf from The
Beaumont field for ages. The flow is
and l think that when
there is sufficient power gathered in |
the oil reservoir. or when storm !
causes the dis lacement of the sand |
and debris above the outlet. the dis
charge begins and continues until the
pressure is exhausted, when ii again |
closes up.
THE Beaumont field will be de-
veloped when prices reach reasonable |
business basis and great things may re-
suit. 1t is an unknown and very un-
certain proposition at present"

A Topeka man lost small opal set
out of his ring and went to the jeweler
to have it replaced. Returning home
he found the lost set and, putting it in
his mouth for safe keeping, hurried
back to the jewelers. to have that set
used instead of the new opal. Rush
ing into the store he said: Say, I've
found the old set. so don't use that
new one" He attempted to remove
the stone from his mouth, gave a gulp,
looked sheepish, and said; Il guess
you'll have to use the new stone.

An Unknown God.

At New Martlnsville, West Virginia
on the river bank below the Fair
Grounds. opposite the Amphitheatre
says the Clarksburg Daily Post, there
was at one time mound which was nc
doubt very antique. The mound
which is now part of the Ohio river,
was at that time as high as the bank
is today, the mound being very much
isolated from the shore 1t was often
used as "a place of resort to the boy
between the years 1S49 to 1850. Sam
uel McEldowney at that time lived
near the spot where the mound was sit
uated Many stone hatchets. toma-
hawks, spears, necklaces, earrings, ar
rowheads and many other curiosities
were taken out of the mound but one
of the things was of so vast import
ance, an no doubt was quite an admir-
er in prehistoric times, was golden
image of an unknown god. which was
nodded out of pure gold, without a
mixture of any other metallic elements
1t was about ten inches high, having
a base as though 1T were an ornament,
and modelled on it was statue of the
unknown god. If the image could have
talked it could tell a history of itself
that no doubt would make clear lne
history of the Indian tribe and the pre-
vious races. 1t was found by the late
Captain McEldowney. Frank DeHaas,
an antiquarian and agent for the
Smithsonian Institute. was thcn writ
ing a history of the border of Western
Virginia and borrowed the curiosity
and comments of all kinds were passed
on it by all the leading newspapers.
The President of the Smithsonian In
stitute authorized DeHaas to purchase
the image at any price if possible, but
the prices offered We're refused. The
image was then borrowed by one
Phenton McCabe, who disappeared
from this place as soon as he had the
image in his possession. However. the
image is at a museum in New York
City, and action will soon be taken to
recover the curiousity. which is of i'm
mense value.

About 80 from here took the train for
the Pioneers picnic at Lake Waubesa
and from the reports that have reached
us, an enjoyable time was had, the day
being verysfne one.
The old settlers of Wheeler Prairie
will hold their annual meeting at the
farm residence of Ell e Roberts on We'd
nesday, June 10. The usual good time
is assured all who attend.
The city council has reconsidered it's
action of a recent meeting, and has de-
cided not to sell the armory building.
By so doing we believe the gentlemen
have acted in accord with the popular
sentiment of the community.
The T G Mandt Vehicle Co has just
sent out to it's stockholders their checks
for per cent dividend for the year
1900. This dividend was declared at the
stockholders meeting in March last.
This makes the third yearly dividend of
7 per cent and after paying this the COM
pany has surplus of S62,973, thus show
that the company has trebled it's capital
in five years, besides paying dividends.
Is there another concern in the country
that can show such record?
A beautiful but quiet affair took place
at the home of Mr. and Mrs 0 N Falk at
high noon OH Saturday last, when their
youngest daughter, Freorikka, was unit
ed in the holy bonds of matrimony to DR.
L NJ Trulson, prominent physician of
this city. The young couple left on the
4:2O train for New York where they sail
June on the American Line steamer,
st. Louis. After spending few weeks in
England and Norway, they will embark
for Germany where the groom will take
a course in medicine, making a speciality
of the eye, ear and throat, while the
bride will perfect herself in music.

A PERSEVERING MONKEY.
Professor Gamers Story of Nellie
and the Matchbox.

Monkeys are always happy if they
have plenty to eat and something to
play with. Professor r. T.. Garner in
his "Apes and Monkeys" says that he
recalls no investment which ever yield
ed greater return in pleasure than a
certain little pocket match safe, which
cost 25 cents. He gave it to a little
monkey, Nellie by name, after putting
into it small key to make it rattle
and some bits Of candy.
She ratified the box and found much
pleasure in the noise. I showed her
how to press the spring in order to
open the box, but her little black fin
gers were not strong enough to release
the spring.
However, she caught the idea and
knew that the spring was the secret
which held tie box closed. When she
found that she could not open it with
her fingers. she tried it with her teeth.
Failing in this, she turned to the wall,
and, standing upright on the top of
hands and struck the spring against
the wall until the lid flew open.
She was perfectly delighted at the
result, and for the hundredth time at
least l closed the box for her to open
it again.
The next time Nellie received the
match safe she was in her cage, and
through it's meshes she could not reach
the wall. She had nothing against
which to strike the spring to force it
open.
After looking around and striking the
box several times against the wires of
the cage, she discovered a block Of
wood about six inches square. She
took this and mounted her perch. Bal
ancing the block on the perch, she held
it with the left foot, while with the
right foot she chung to the perch. With
her tail wound around the meshes Of
the cage to steady herself, she care
fully adjusted the matchbox in such a
manner as to protect her fingers from
the blow. Then she struck the spring
against the block of wood, and the lid
flew open.
She fairly screamed with delight as
she held up the box.

HIS DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
A Pompous Reception That Amused
President Grevy.

President Grevy.
NJ Seyerfaro de Heredia, the minis
ter of public works in the Rouyier cabi-
net during the presidency of NJ. Grevy,
belonged to the famous naturalized Gu
ban family, of which another member.
the Comte de Heredia, is one of the i'm
mortal 40 of the French academy. Most
of the family have dark spins, suspi-
ciously mulatto, and other negro char
acteristics. This has, however, in no.
wise interfered with their standing in
Paris, where several of the family have
long been prominent. The former min
lister had also been president of the
municipal council of Paris and a depu-
ty from Paris reimbursement
His Clark skin led to a curious mis-
take at the Elysee the day after he had
vier cabinet. According to immemorial
custom the new ministers called singly
on President Grevy to pay their re-
spects. On the same day, as it hap
pened, an official visit was expected
from the president of the republic of
Haiti, who was to present his letters to
the president. When M. de Reredia
arrived in the court Of the palace, the
minor officials stationed there, who
were not familiar with the new minis
ter's features, judged from his COM
Dlexion that he was the Haitian digni-
tary. The courtyard became very ami
mated with guards hurrying to and fro
to their places, while one Of the officers
of the presidents military household
went to inform M. Grevy Of the dis
tinguished visitors arrival.
M. de Heredia received all this with
dignified composure, for, never having
been a minister before this, he thought
this ceremonial was probably the usual
one. Finally, with the beating of
drums, he was ushered into the recep-
ton room, where the chief executive
stood ready to receive him. what"
cried he, cts only you, Herediaw
"Why, yes, M. lie President" replied
the puzzled minister. Grevy began to
laugh. "Well," he cried, you have
been minister only "A hours and have
succeeded in turning my house upside
down. What will you do later on?'-
