THE BURNING CUSTER
FLAMES STILL SPOUT FROM
 JENNINGS WELL.
President, of Company Denies That $1o,OOo Has Been Offered to the Persons Who Will Ex-
 tinguish the Flames.

New Orleans. July 1s,-The Picayune's Jennings, La, special says:
 To say that nothing has been done toward checking the fire at the oil field would be a great injustice to the owners and operators of the Jennings well. yet there has been no perceptible headway gained. The we'll continues' to burn with all the fury that 1t did on last Tuesday night shortly after catching fire
 The novelty and the excitement that first attended the operations have now worn off and the men are down to sober consideration of the projects submitted to them. Each day they receive tele- grams from all parts of the United States asking what will be paid to the person that will be able to check the flames. In most instances the parties that write probably have never seen a gusher, much less one that is on fire.
 The report that Haywood Brothers of fered $10,000 to the persons who would put out the fire was denied today by Alba Heywood. the president of the company, But little can be learned just what trey
  cupied by the magnitude of the work be- fore them to listen to and answer qUes- tions. But from what can be learned they intend to try a combination of several of the schemes that have been advanced.
 At present two dericks are being erected on either side of the fire and will be con nected with large cable. A huge cone is now being made and will be connected to this cable and slid along until directly over the fire. Then by means of a trip wire they intend letting the cone drop over the fire permitting 1t to fall from sufficient height to bury itself in the ground to overcome the gas pressure of the well.
 By means of pipes that extend from this cone they hope to control the pressure by permitting it to escape from these vents. The boilers will then be connect ed and a stream of water and steam will be turned on to the fire which will flood the enclosure and the oil and water will run out of the drain ditches that have been prepared. The chemicals that have been taken out will be turned on to the fire and they expect will finally conquer 1t. The plan looks plausible and the tx- perts from both Jennings and Beaumont are in favor of it.
