WE suppose that when the Cresset
gets real weary OF charging that the
prohibitionists are democratic annex
that they will take a rest. Does it look
plausible to any candid man that in
view OF charges against some of the fu.
sion candidates made by the prohibi
tionists, on which the Cresset is silent,
that they would break their necks yot-
ing for them? The Cresset ought to be
fair in view of the results on the 4th.

 MONEY IN OIL.
LOCAL MEN IN HARTFORD-INDIAN
 TERRITORY OIL COMPANY.

D. M. Mitchell of South Britain is vice president and M. A. Todd of this town is one of the directors in the re- gently organized Hartford-Osage L. luminating Oil Co.,, which has leased 5000 acres of proven oil land located in the Osage Reservation in the h. dian Territory, close to the Arkansas River and the village of Tulsa. This tract of oil land is but short distance from Red Fork, I. T., the scene of the great gusher recently struck there. caliI. for several years, having been found at depth of 76O feet in what is known as the upper DevOnian strata. The belief was entertained by some that lower Devonian or oil bearing strata would be found by drilling to greater depth, consequently the drill was pushed down, and early in July the cap rock was pierced at 1700 feet and gusher with an estimated capac- ity of 1000 barrels daily was brought in. MT Todd thinks the company should easily have 20 wells in opera tiOn before the end of the first year. The production from 20 wells with the small average of only l5 barrels each per day, working 300 days in the year, at the rate of 80 cents per barrel, (The Standard Oil Co. is now paying 88 cents for oil of this grade) will yield $72,OOO, deducting one sixth royalty, $l2,OOO, and there is a net profit of $60,O00, which will pay 12 per cent on the entire capital stock of the com. pany, and this can be doubled and trebled the second and third years. During the first year this company should sub-lease 1000 acres of it's land for at least S6 per acre and 25 per cent royalty. This can easily be accom- plished as soon as the company has greatly increase it's value. Six thous- and acres is more than this company can develop in years. It is the con- pany's intention to beginSinking their first we'll as soon as contracts for drill ing can be arranged and as soon as the first we'll has begun to produce they can sell the product from the same and apply the proceeds to sinking other wells, and in this manner they can develop our property and sink many wells without selling additional stock. The cOmpany's facilities for marketing oil are most excellent. They are but One-quarter mile west from Tulsa, town of 1900 inhabitants on the St Louis & Santa Fe railroad,
 while the M. K. & Oklahama railroad is now building it's line to cross their property on the west and south. The Arkansas river, which is about quar- ter mile wide at this point, furnishes waterfront of great value. The company's land is only about 70 miles from the Standard Oil Company's re- fnery, and they are therefore close to market, with ample shipping facilities.
 It would seem to be most promising opening for investors.
