OIL STRIKE IN MISSOURI

Great Excitement.

The oil strike In the Captain R. F.
Mastin oil we'll No. l, on the Mastin
stock farm, ~ miles north Of town, is a
lucky one, not alone for the owner OF the
farm and the Revenue Mining company,
who owns the we'll and lease, but for all
Bolton and surrounding country.
.Captin Mastin, desiring gas for his
beautiful home, had engaged w. 8. Pryor
to drill him q gas we'll When but $50
feet down splendid vein OF oil sand was
struck and an OIL well estimated at about
thirty-ive barrels per day Of very high
grade illuminating and lubricating oil was
Unexpectedly and surprisingly encoun-
tered The excitement which then set in
was something to which the town OF Bel
ton has never before been treated. Oil
men from every oil field in the land
flocked in and the oil business set in in
dead earnest.
Perhaps one Of tho greatest contests on
record as to which oil man or company
should secure the Mastin we'll, set In.
The contest was finally settled by the
lease being awarded to the Revenue Min
ing company OF Minneapolis, MINI. The
Revenue is the company which has the
gas we'll and gas franchise Of Bolton, and
we may therefore look upon the Revenue
company as being a home company, and
this paper expresses its satisfaction in
seeing the company which had already
done SO much for Bolton secure this de

Anthony would have begun to argue, but
Sotheran stepped between. "a word with
you" he said; land with his hand on Dickie's
shoulder, led the lad little way apart.
Their heads were on level, the light Of a
smoky street lamp fell on Sotheran's face,
and Dickie saw the look of interest which,
coming frequently In their recent intercourse,
nevertheless always was a surprise and q
pleasure. 1t was privilege for which he
was envied and which, bestowed by the most
admired Of the fashionable officers, he highly
priced.
"Diekie," = said the captain with an open
smile, you know which way we all hope
you will decide. Yet never mind Paddock;
go home and speak with your brother II you
wish; you are quite right to do SO. But
come then and join our little supper; quite
depend on you. You will come? Then we
will wait for you. Au revoir. :"
Dickie took one step away. Should he go?
Need he go? The reasons why he should
consult with Frank seemed less. Should he
speak with him at all? He turned back.
II will go with you, he said
r At midnight, nearing the house, Dickie
paused as he saw the lamp still burning II
the library, and Frank sitting reading. Blu,
he entered bravely, and went straight to his
brother. Frank turned and looked at him
He knew that Dicke had gone with Anthony
he feared the result. That questioning. in

and anxiety, self-command and resolution
were mingled there.

The w ater Works.

The Custer water works are now as.
sured. Water of the purest and best
quality has been found in ample guam
tity for all required purposes, and the
work, now we'll in hand, will be hurried
to completion. Among the numerous
strikes made in this locality the discov-
cry of an abundant supply Of pure and
wholesome water almost within the
limits of the city, where the presence of
so great a blessing has been SO long a
mooted question, stands at the head of
the list in the measure of its importance
to the Pioneer City. To haye found an
abundance Of water Of average quality
would have been a boon of no small
caliber, but the finding Of a large supply
of water of such superior excellence
makes us feel like taking off our hat to
the projectors of the water enterprise,
who by their persistent efforts, have
fought it through to a happy and glori-
Gus finish.
The old town which has hitherto been
subject to so many disastrous fires, where
the fire fiend held full sway with no
means of resistance available to stay it's
rayages, will soon be in position to laugh
at danger in this direction, and march
right along upon the pathway of pro-
gress to the high standard Of CONNER
cial importance which 50 surely awaits
her in the glorious and not distant
hence.

The two families will live on the ranch,
