Of fifteen barrels.
The Dry Brook oil Company owns the

edge of the belt, while No is close to
the pool. The oil is found at depth OF
200 feet. and In the second wei over forty
feet of oil sand was found. 1t is OF a
chocolate color. similar to the productive
sand of the regular AlIe gany County oil
field. which lies few miles to the south

dozen new wells ire either under way or
the timbcrs and machinery for them are
being hurried there. More than half
dozen dry holes have beer drilled within
a radius of five miles of the Dry Brook

several miles in length that has never

Of dollars will be spent in the next four
weeks in making tests.

CHICAGO, Nov. THAT the American
League will invade New York in the near
future, and that the domain of Andrew
Freedman will become a part of the cir
cult of the new organization, is a GER
tainty, although Ban Johnson has not yet
made a formal announcement His talk,
however. Indicates that he has seen things
in a different light since the downfall
of Tammany ana the passing OF the
power of Freedman. whose control of
baseball has been absolute in the Empire
City.
1T is glorious chance for the Ameri-
can League to enter New York now"
said Johnson jus, before he left on his
trip to Detroit. We have our grounds all
picked out. too, although We have not
made any lease Of them yet. New York
is the one city that we lack in our circuit,
and l have been there a couple OF times
recently to see about getting In.
Baltimore will be the team that will be
transferred to the new berth, as there is
no comparison between the two towns as
