territory to enter the race for one or the
other place. but he stoutly declines to
have anything TO do with it personally.

BLACKWELL HAS
STRUCK IT RICH
Vein of Gas Strong Enough to
Supply Fuel
THIS REDUCES EXPENSE
Other Wells viii BE Sunk
with Confidence
THIS REDUCES EXPENSE

Blackwell. o. T, Feb. n.-Another vein
of gas was struck in Blackwell TINS
morning at the new we'll at a depth or
about seven hundred and fifty feet, ana
is at least fifty per cent stronger thah
any vein heretofore struck in this city
at any of the wells, says the News the
drill has only penetrated the gas sano
about two feet, consequently the thick
ness of the vein is as yet unknown, out
in all probability drilling Will at once
cease in this well as the tiow OF gas
is more than sufficient 20 supply fuel for
the engine. one of the greatest items or
expense thus far drilling. and another
we'll will be started.
This we'll is the seventh well thath as
been drilled in this city for gas and gas
has been discovered in five of the seven
wells but always heretofore accidents
haver uined each well With the present
well. however the drillers have been for
tunate They have succeeded in putting
down ten inch hole to a depth Of about
seven hundred and fifty feet and have
practically dry well, with no water to
bother them
Through this ten inch hole there rushed
a volume of gas that when ignited. sent
a roaring flame high into the air and
made everybody connected with the wen
feel as iubiiant as could be.
This well is about mile west of where
the other wells wered rilIed. it being in
the western portion of the city, and fully
demonstrates the fact that gas can be
found at a reasona bile depth at almost
auv point in the city. While It is true
that the gas flows thus far struck mere
at Blackwell are not as strong as those
at Bartlesville, it is the general belieI
now that a few of these shallow wells
would furnish an abundance of gas for
all purposes. while a deep well would
probably reach a much stronger now.
In all the wells thus far in this city gas
has been struck at an average depth or
about eight hundred feet, in two or three
instances a lighter veinS being found al
a depth of about six-Ag1dTed feet. the
second vein always being the stronger.
thus creating the belief that much
stronger flow will be found further down
The prospecting for fas in this city has
cost several thousands Of dollars, ana
the citizens have contributed literally
whenever called upon. They have struck
to it with bulldog tenacity in the face
of all the discouraging accidents, and at
times they have almost lost heart. but
TODAY they are feeling jubIlant over this

TENDER LEFT RAILS.
Bounced Along the cross-Ties and De-
moIished the Track.

Hobart. O. T, Feb. IA special train
from Enid last Sunday narrowly averted
a serious wreck six miles south of this
city. at $50 in the afternoon, says the
News RI Republican.
The visitors had -disembarked here, and
the trainmen and several of the boys
from this city started with the train to
Snyder. When eight miles out, the ten
der left the rails and went bouncing along
on the cross-ties about 400 yards, demol-
ishing the track as it went.
Fortunately the train was running about
eighteen miles an hour when the acct
dent occurred, and was stopped before the
engine or any of the cars quit the track
The trainmen and several of the pas
sengers walked back to town. A wrecker
at Corden was dispatched for, and ar
rived at the scene about eight o'clock
in the evening, when the coaches of the
wrecked train were brought back to this
city.
It was midnight before the road was
repaired sufficiently to admit the passage
Of the south bound passenger train, which
is due to leave here at 6:29 p. m.

express themselves on the saloon ques-

the matter before the attorney general.

Gratis Mr. Mcclure. however, is still
sanguine of favorable action upon his
bill.
Beyond all this is speculation. If the
house passes it. as expected. it will then
remain for the Republican program as
arranged with Senator Quay to be car
ried out. The intention at present is to
admit New Mexico. when Arizona has a
sufficient population to send one repre-
sentative to congress, to incorporate that
territory into single statehood with New
