aud J. B. Eldridge.
The drill and rig complete,
which Is being made at Rockford,
Illinois, will weigh ten tons.
The company has leased land
in Oklahoma, Indian territory and
western Kansas. is likely that
drilling will commence at some.
point in Oklahoma, and al some
point in western Kansas at about

own drill will be located at Que

other. OIL has been discovered
in Trego county in what is believ.
ed pay ing quantities, and the CON-
pany expects 10 open new Kan
sas oil field.
j. B. Eldridge, Of the company,
says 1T is believed by al who
have investigated that western
Kansas is destined to become one
Of the greatest oil fields in the
world. All along the Smoky and
Saline rivers and across into Sher
idan Rocks, Osborn, Mitchell and
Smith counties are found oil seep-
ings and oil sbale that have burn
ed for months, to the depth Of lG
feet, and oil is found. Many
places wells have been sunk only
TO q sufficient depth 20 the oil can
be bailed ont with an ordinary
bucket. One Of these wells, the
best we have seen, is IN Logan
county, and which We have leased |
has over two feet Of oil.

is enthusiastic over an apple crop
in Kansas this year. He said Sat

The crop will be very light in the

trees in the oenteral part Of tks

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Buying of July and September
Whenf a Feature.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-There was a strong
tone in wheat today, with the Northwest
situation the most influential factor.
There were no rains and none in sight in
that section, and 1t is causing apprehen-
sion of a repetition of last years condi-
ton The Southwest advices were more
emphatic that the Kansas yield has been
overestimated. Michigan and Illinois con-
tributed reports of damage from Hessian
fly. The feature was the liberal buying
of July by a prominent elevator firm and
commission house ard outside buying of
September. The selling was principally
by the Phillips interest There were no
Liverpool or Paris cables. London was
I'd lower. Primary receipts were less
than a year ago. There were no cash
sales; five loads at the seaboard.
Corn was fairly active and firm. The
features were selling by Phillips and COW
ering by prominent local bears. The out
side interest was small. While the cash
situation was reported improved, there
were no sales given out.
Oats continue active. The market
opened strong, but weakened on selling
out of a large line bought early by
local operator. GooG buying brought
closing prices back TO about the same as
yesterday. The Illinois weekly crop bulle-
tin was bullish, reporting injury by dry
weather.
Today's trade in provisions was largely
between packers, one prominent local
packer selling the list freely. while the
buying. particularly of lard, was led by
English houses, and was on such a scale
as 10 give that article a fair advance.
The closing was steady. The situation in
lard is buIIish; the cash trade fair.
