NEW OIL COMPANY.
Experts Opinion of the Florence
Field.

A new company to operate in
this field will be organized in
Denver today or tomorrow 1t
will be composed of Lee Champion
of this city, Judge M. s. Bailey
and James Il. Locke of Canon
City, and Harry Insley and Bruce
Glidden of Denver.
The company has secured 20
year lease on the Walters ranch,
west OF town, consisting of ten
acres, the Wasmuth ranch and the
Williams ranch to the south. The
latter is near the city reservoir,
and altogether $50 acres are en-
braced in the transaction.
All of these tracts are in the
known oil belt and upon the orig
inal Walters ranch is located
what is known as the Eynon well
which has produced for years.
The company is fortunate in secur-
ing such choice ground in the oil
belt.
Already rig tim bers are being
taken out to the ground west of
the city and the derrick will be
built at once. Drilling operations
will be vigorously prosecuted and
it is safe to predict that oil will be
opened up in the first well drilled.
The Fremont county men who are
mem bers are we'll know to Flor
ence people and it is also known
that whatever they undertake to
do is successfully carried through.
The Oil Well Supply company
this week closed orders for four
teen complete outfits of drilling
machinery which will be shipped
in the course of few days to their
respective points throughout the
state.
A Denver oil expert who was
visiting friend in this city yester-
day said Florence is the oil field
of the state. | have Just returned
from an investigation of the
Boulder, Pagosa Springs and De-
Beque oil fields and none of them
compare with this field. "Why
you people of Florence do not
realize what valuable thing you.
have in this oil | have been
studying the formation in the out
lying districts of this field and it
is identical with that of the known
field. OF course, it may not be
underlaid with oil but it is a good
location to spud in, just the same"

The tale OF his notable experiences in peach
growing told by Mr.. ]. H. Hale in The Worlds
Work. is a fascinating one 1t emphasizes the
old moral, that man who wants to make
great success in cultivating food products of
this kind must work hard with his own hands
and brains. To grow peaches to perfection
means that the trees must be treated with
something of the personal and interest
that in a greater degree man gives to his chill
dren. The details of work on Mr. Hale's Georgia
plantations are described with a vivid and pleas
ant touch. There is a suggestive reference TO
music
The packing shed IS a cool, airy place. COM
Portable at all times in the hottest weather
yet the days long and busy, and noting
that the workers were tired and languid by
night, four years ago 1 tried a plan of resting
them with music. A good string band of six
pieces was hired to play each afternoon from :
There was soft quiet music for hour or two,
and then quick. lively airs until the finish
music all the tmei
It was a rested. happy crowd that left the
shed every night after that and felt well re-
paid for the expense. while in two or three days
we noted an increased output Of about 30 per
cent in the afternoons-enough TO pay for the
music and leave profit besides.
Now, therefore, the music is counted each
season as one Of the necessities of a profitable
business. Among the blacks In the field we
aim to have one or more good singers with each
picking gang: singing, laughter and shouting
is encoura ged for with these everybody is bet
ter natured, and more work is accomplished
with less fatigue.

The assav on manners and customs is always
inviting and that in 'Lippincotts' which deals
with tipping fully justifies its publication.
How can a native born American consent to
take tip? Mr.. J. C. Speed is unable to COM
prehend it, and It must be confessed that 1t
does not seem to be natural in country where
"evervbodv has q chance to be President"
TIPS go with servility," says the author Of this
essay. and no man who is a voter in this
country by birthright is in the least justified in
being servile."
One day 1 went home when some packers
were at work there. They had been calling for
beer money all day, and had insisted that II

johannesburg is rapidly becoming herself
again The latest issue of the revived Star
contains two columns of names of refugees who
have returned under official permits. There ie
also a considerable list of newcomers complied

news and the unobtrusive style in which the
little that is given is presented. Balls and va
rfety entertainments conspicuous, and
"Iadysmith Day" next Thursday, is to be cele-
brated by a banquet under the auspices of the

find in a single notch where the hand or foot
could find leverage to lift the whole body TO a
