Ee near the Benedict elevator, is one
OF the biggest things in Chanute just
now. Since locating here they have
averaged car load day out One
day recently they shipped out six loads
of material. One day while they were
receiving their stock they had fifteen
car loads of material on the track
| loading and unloading. Such mann
moth enterprises as this Locating IN
town speak well for It's future.

Captain Walker has brought In his
fifth well on the fair ground eighty.
The wells are all good oilers and Will
roll up nice little sum of money for
the Captain.
, An immense gas well was brought
in on the Moreheart land east the
river, the latter part Of last week.
This is said to be one Of the very
largest wells OF the field.
1t is said formidable rival to the
Standard on Co. has sprung up in In.
diana and Ohio in the shape OF a
French syndicate which practical.
ly controls the output in thesc two
states.
The Western Torpedo Coils increas-
ing its facilities for manufacturing
nitro glycerine at Neodesha.
A we'll shooter was sent from Cha
mute up to PaOla Sunday to shoot two
wells. He drove across the country.
Had those who passed him in the
road known what he was hauling he
would haye had no trouble about the
right of way.
1t is said the oil we'll on the Havi
land land near Shaw is proving TO be
better oiler than first expected.
The o. X. Co. brought ia magnifi
cent gasser on the Lapham land, east
Of the river, the first of the week.
They passed through hundred feet
Of sand. Small traces of oil. Our
guess is that eventually this well will
be shot and prove to be big oiler.
We understand this company will
now move onto some of their holdings
in the Brewster neie hborhood.
1t develops that gas has not been
found at Arkansas City in paying
quantities and the drill is being sent
on down.
A driller in the Erie field was severe.
ly burned Sunday night on account OF
little thoughtlessness.
The sand penetrated by the 0. X.
Co. on the Lapham land is said to be
100 feet thick.
The Rex Co. is finding all kinds OF
oil on the Beach land. They are now
running two rigs. Mr.. Beach will be
a millionaire soon and build an opera
house on the west side we presume.
| The Lincoln Co shot well on the
Wolfe land, Saturday and one on Mon
day. Both show up well.
Mr.. Guss is bringing in we'll on
the Erickson land, northwest OF town
that is very promising.
Mr.. Cherry, who is operating in the
Humboldt field was IN Chanute one
day this week. Our big supply houses
attrac: all the oil men.
The Western Torpedo Co, shot well
at Paola Wednesday and got good
flow of oil. The well is on the land OF
Frank Aldrich.
A we'll is almost down on the Joe
Hanson place near Villas. The indi-
cations are good.
