Turkey Has Asked BuIgaria'sA Assist.
ance in Reaching a Solution.
Sofia, Sept. 22.-The un%favorable re
plies of Austria and Russia to Bull
garia's last note, and the fact that
none of the great powers has yet re-
piled, coupled with the allegations
that one of the powers is encouraging
the military party at Yildiz Kiosh, tend
to create a less hopeful feeling here.
There is, however, no p~erceptible
change in the situation. Various re-
ports are in circulation regarding ne
gotiations between Turkey and Bull
garia looking to a solution of the Ma
cedonian difficulty.

forces, guarantee peace and protection

DriIIers Strike Oil.

From the oil fields in the Bellamy
district it is learned that the drill OF
the Barton-Vernon company, at a
depth of 1,035 feet, has struck oil
sand, where oil seeps up to the top Of
the water, which is Is feet from the
top of the surface. The drill passed
through Is feet of this oil sand. In
the opinion of the drillers, if this well
was shot now it would produce a good
flow of oil. The drillers claim oil is
there in paying quantities, but will
drill several hundred feet deeper, be-
lieving there is richer oil sand below.
These drillers are fully acquainted
with the Kansas and the Pennsylvania
fields. They are so confident that they
are figtring on drilling other wells.
Leases on more land are being taken,
and the farmers are holding their
lands at present at $500 per acre.
