THE CHANDLER TROUBLE

The trouble at Chandler on account
of the importing of the rs Japanese
miners has created considerable ex-
citement. They have all been forced
away from there, however, without
the spilling of any blood.
Union men are loud in their praise
of Sheriff Simon's actions with regard
to the matter. and claim that il it had
not been for his good judgment in
the matter something serious might
have occurred.
1t is difficult to state at present
what the result of the trouble will
be. Some seem to think that work
will begin right away. 1t is an as
sured fact that all the union men in
the district will stand by the action
of the Chandler miners in driving out
the Japanese.
When the Japs went to work at
Chandler nothing was said until the
evening. When they left the mine
they were ordered out of town. They
went TO the boarding house which
was TO have been their quarters and
were guarded by deputies. The
miners proceeded to break the win
dows and play havoc in general until
Sheriff V. S. Simon, Of this city, ar
rived on the scene. He at once went
to the superintendent and advised
him to get the Japs out of the camp
as soon as possible. and they were
Immediately started down the track
escorted by large number of union
miners. Half way TO Florence they
met freight train on its way to
Chandler. The freight was stopped
amid the firing Of pistols. and the
Japs loaded into the box cars and the
train returned to Florence undrr a
guard of 80 miners \ Fiorerc.- he
train was guarded by the sheriff and
his deputies for fear OF an outbreak,
and at 81 the cars containing the
Celestials was coupled onto No. l6 Of
the D. < X. G. and taken to Pueblo,
and from there they were returned to
Wyoming.

WILL DRILL FOR OIL

Steps were taken this week for the
rapid development on the land on
which was made the first discovery
Of petroleum in the state. Arrange
ments have been made by the Oil
Greek Petroleum company TO sink a
well 5000 feet, il necessary, few rods
from the famous oil springs six or
eight miles north OF this city. in what
is known as Garden Park Oil was
produced here as early as 1865 and
hauled to Denver by oxen where it
was sold for lubricating purposes at
high price per gallon.
The new company owns 500 acres
Of land, and has a lease on l60 acres
more lying directly north and east Of
the springs. 1t is upon this land that
the first work will be started towards
sinking the new well. The site for
the well was selected by Prof. Arthur
Lakes, who believes oil will be en-
countered at about 5000 feet. He
figures that the oil stratum is l,500
feet nearor the surface at that point
than at Florence. He predicts that
Garden Park will stand at the head
of the oil producing fields Of the state.
H. A. Albright and Adolphus Page,
of this city, are interested in the en-
terprise.
The New England Oil company is
prosecuting work on their well two
miles north of the Oil Creek company,
which shows promising results.

the CHAPEL ORGAN

Each week the RECORDS organ con-
test grows hotter and hotter, and the
votes keep steadily coming in. The
prize of So gold piece to be given
to the boy and girl who bring in the
largest number of votes is being con-
tested for with zeal that would put
some old experienced politicians to
shame. The girls are ahead in this,
but as an equal prize goes to a boy,
also, it will make no difference whether
il is boy or girl who brings in the
largest number of votes, as sepa-
rate prize goes to the boy who brings
ia the most. and also to the girl.
Some of the children on Lincoln Park
are at work and are trying to pro-
cure the organ for their school. With
combined efforts over there they
would doubtless stand as good a
chance as any one else.

aucted.
The organ offered is of the finest
make, and is something greatly needed
in the public schools. Several of the

A lease on Sells Island has been
procured by Peter McCarvell, of

AT SHALLOW DEPTH.
An Eye Opener to all Who Are in
Doubt.

Yesterday, while the Jennings
Haywood Oil Syndicate was drill
ing water we'll preparatory to
beginning drilling their Oil well,
strong flow of oil was struck at
40 feet. The flow was steady
and by far the strongest yet
struck in the jennings field ex-
cept when the Jennings Oil Co.
No. /, struck that flow which
proved to be the gusher that has
given the Jennings field the fame
it now enjoys, viz: the only gush
er proposition yet struck outside
of Spindle Top Heights. IN a
very few minutes the sluice tank
was covered with oil as pure and
of the same quality as that OBJ
tanned from Jennings No. l.
The strike caused 4 furry Of
excitement among the few who
saw it, and several people made
a grand rush for the office of the
company in search Of stock, hop
ing to get 1t cheap before the
company was aware of the strike.
Their disappointment was palp-
able when informed that the well
was owned by corporation com
prising nine individuals, namely:

ton, the well having been located
near tne centre Of the holding 5.
Mr.. Alba Haywood, president
of the Jennings-H Haywood Oil syn
dicate, says that as soou Us .he
water well is completed they will
begin drilling for oil, and that he
will keep the public posted as to
the depth SO that all who desire
may be present when they pass
through the oil strata with the
big drill.
AS this oil was struck at least
230 feet nearer the surface than
any other in the field, and Us it is
SO. much stronger a showing than
any other, the company are in
great hopes of striking a gusher
at a much less depth than the
jennings No. l.

will only be two or three days be
