BOOM IN THE OIL FIELD.



Special TO the indianapolis Journal
MONTPELIER, Ind. June u.-Never be-
fore in the history of Indiana has the oil
trade been as active as it is at the pres
ent time. The drill is active over the en-
tire field, and few cents advance in the
price of the crude product would cause no
end of excitement. In Grant county alone
over one hundred new wells are drilling,
and half many in Wells county. The
moneyed men have more confidence in the
oil trade now that there is but little dan
ger from the big strikes made in Texas
California and Louisiana. For the past
eighteen months the trade has been back
ward about pushing the drill, as it was
uneasy over the way the Texas gushers
started in. That day has passed and the
oil industry of this State is now on a BUSH
ness basis. Eastern men are flocking to
the field and every good lease that is put
the market is quickly taken at fancy
prices. which range at from $500 to $500
barrel for good, settled production, with
some acreage to be drilled.
In the late developments Wells county
comes forward with some remarkably good
wells. Reed, Mays & Co.'S we'll No 2, on
the Huffman farm. in Liberty township,
coils initial well, on the Stimson farm, in
Chester township, has a record of 125 bar
rels. p A. Little & Co.'s No. 2, on the
Shade farm, did seventy-fve barrels as did
Christman farm, while the Paxton Oil
Company's No. 2 on the Julin farm. pro-
duced sixty-five barrels.
In Grant county Argue & McKisson's
well No. g. on the Roller farm, in Van
Buren, township, started at seventy-fve
barrels. The Huntington Light and Fuel
Company's No. 9, on the Lugar farm. same
township, did sixty barrels, and the Gen.
trail Oil Company's No. 4. on the Wilson
farm. and the Hunt Oil Company's No. 3,
on the Sanderman farm, did forty barrels
each. In Franklin township the Jones e.
Cox we'll No. 8, the Empire addition,
came in dry, as did the Marion Fruit Jar
Companys No. I, on the Burrier farm.
Their No. 5. on the Miller farm, did twenty
five barrels. In Center township Kahle
Bros & Gray's No. 2, on the Ward farm,
did fifty barrels. and the Troyer Oil Com
pany's No. l, on the Troyer farm, did
twenty-five barrels.
In Blackford county three new wells have
been drilled. The East Side Bank Com
pany's well No. 6, on the Harold farm,
started at forty barrels The American
Window Glass Company's No. l. on the
Clapper farm, in the same township did

GOSHEN, Ind, June 11.-Contrary to re-
ports sent out from here, the grand jury of
Elkhart county has not been summoned TO
consider the case of County Superintendent
George w. Ellis in connection with the Sc
curing by Joseph Hall of the examination
questions he sold at Marion. Judge Ferrall
and the prosecutor say there has been no
request for an investigation.
Most local residents believe Ellis is the
victim of circumstances over which he had
no control, and that his denial of any
knowledge as to how Hall came into pos
session of the questions is made in good
faith, though they would like TO see the
matter investigated. as Superintendent Ell
lis has requested, that he might be cleared
of all suspicion in the matter.

REPLY TO SCHLEY

Washington, Feb 15-One of the principal subje discussed at the cab inet meeting yesterday was the reply which the president will make to the appeal of Admiral Schley The presl- dent has given q good deal of attention to the matter, and it is understood that in the course of few days, probably by the middle of next week, he will be ready to announce his conclusions Members of the cabinet are extremely reticent as to what the presidents views are beyond the statement that his decision will undoubtedly clear the atmosphere somewhat upon many of the involved questions.
 The president outlined his view on the Schley case by reading the first draft of his decision. Some modifica- tions were made to-day and in view of the fact that it is subjected to further and possibly important changes in the text, members of the cabinet back their indisposition to discuss it by the assertion that at this time it is unsafe to predict what it's exact effect will be It is a long document and one of its features is the clear and concise pres entation of the events of the battle of Santiago as described to the president by the captains engaged in that fight, who were recently summoned to the White house to confer with him. The decision is couched in the presidents s characteristic vigorous tone.
