GOOD WORDS FOR
OUR LITTLE CITY
MeSsrs. Jaenke ana Williams
Interviewed by the
PiCayune.

f. r. Jaenke, treasurer of the
Jennings Oil Company, and also
Of the Jennings Haywood Oil
Company, and Isaac d. l.. Will
Jams, secretary of the same com
panieS, both Of jennings, are at
the ST. Charles Hotel. They
came up to the city Thursday
for the purpose of looking after
some business connected with
the work which the jennings Oil
Company is doing toward bring
ing in the gusher that has been
so long delayed.
Il think that there is no doubt
that we will have gusher in u
few days The well is now pro
ducing in it's overflow about ten
barrels per day, in spite of the
fact that there are 1900 feet of
Pinch pipe inside the casing
and over a thousand feet of sand.
We have made arrangements
to take out the 2-inch pipe and
put down an inside casing per-
forated to go through the sand,
and then we will have a well the
size of the inside casing, which
will be something like three or
four inches to the bottom.
"The trouble with our well has
never been stated 50 that it could
be understood, and it is very i'm
portant thing for drillers in that
section toknow. If we had known
the formation when we put down
the we'll we would have had no
trouble.
"There are two cap rocks, with
fifteen feet between them, and
the oil is under the second cap
rock. The space between is I'LL
ed with Il dry pack sand, which Is
utterly uncomfortable. The pipe
went through the first cap rock
all right, and then struck the
sand without going down to the
the second cap rock, and instead
of waiting until the pipe was an
chored on the lower cap rock we
went ahead with the drilling and
put Il hole through the other cap
rock, some two inches bigger than
the pipe. The oil pressure came
upon US and drove the petroleum
through the sand for Il while, but
then the sand ran into the pipe
and filed it up, coming from the
space below the pipe and above
the oil We can case this off with
perforated inner casing pipe,
and then by hanging the inner
pipe through the hole in the low
er cap rock, we will have the
gusher in control and the sand
cased off. The estimate is that
the flow will exceed $1,000 bar,
rels per day,and some even think
that it will be much greater than
that"

MAYOR JOHNSON WILL MAKE A
MODEL CITY.
Chicago Record-Herald.

SiltdSo hecOTu-ieralu.
The millionaire reform mayor of
the first city of Ohio starts off like A
new trolley car on a cross-country
run where there are no curves and no
stops until the next town is reached
II he does not slip his trolley nor iump
the tracks he threatens to make a run
that will completely eclipse the spec
tacular record of Golden Rule Jones
of Toledo.
Mayor Johnson. the street railway
magnate. has been mayor of Cleveland
two weeks, During that time he has
laid plans for reforms that promise
TO convert Cleveland into the model
city OF the union. Gambling houses
have been notified that they will do
well to dispose of their outfits at once
as gambling will not be tolerated
confidence men will be driven from
the city, disorderly saloons will be
closed and all unsafe and unsightly
buildings Will he torn down. If the
order In regard to unsafe buildings is
not obeyed within forty-eight hours
the hre department will be called out
and the buildings torn down over the
heads OF occupants. Saloons that do
not obey the ordinances with refer
ence to closing or persist In running
disorderly houses in connection with
their resorts, will have their licenses
revoked. The mayor viii also place
the evil service upon the merit sys-
TEN without waiting for any special
state legislation.
1t is easy to see that there are live
ly times ahead for Cleveland under
mayor Johnson. The signlbcant
thins about the reforms about to be
instituted by the mayor is the fact
that no special legislation yesting the
executive with new powers appears
TO be necessary to carry out his plans.
Mayor johnson merely declares his
purpose to enforce the city ordinances
that have been enacted by the com
mon council of Cleveland. He pur-
poses to act clearly within the au.
thority already vested in the mayor.
