Three Strikes at the Oil
Well this Week.
INTEREST is GROWING.
Drill Penetrating Three Oil
Pockets Causes Renewed
Interest In the Well.

ing up this week since three
stratas of oil have been struck by
the driller. Several days ago
the drill went through the large
rock which has given so much
trouble and under the rock q
strata of sand was struck and
permitted better headway with
the drilling. This sand is of an
oil bearing kind and it was ex-
pected that oil would be found
at almost any time. Sunday a
strata or pocket of oil was pene-
trated. It was what is known
among oil men as green oil and is
always found before the oil bed
proper is entered. Three of
these pockets have been bore.l
through during the past four days
and all is expectancy at the we'll.
the drillers expecting to make q
strike at any time.
The discovery of these pockets
Of Oil has been kept q secret SO
far as possible and only those on
the inside knew of it till by some
means the fact leaked out. A
number of persons have visited
the field since the discovery was
reported and all are convinced that
only few days remain till an
strike will be made.
But little information can be had
from the drillers at the well by
others than the managers of the
company, but the statement is
made that the strata of sand in
which these pockets ,of oil have
been found is of the best oil bear
ing kind and that unless all indi-
cations fail, the best oil field vet
discovered is right here and the
fact will be established within the
next few weeks and probably
within . few days.
Operations on the Eureka we'll

Pierre, s. d. Nov. 29.-state Auditor Halla-
day has submitted his annual report to the gov
ernor, showing in detail the financial transac-
lions of the state the past year. 80
With deficiency levy of two mills, disburse-
ment Of the state funds exceeded the receipts by
$47, 364.5O, and without this levy, which re-
turned revenues to the amount of $454,177, the
demands Of the state would have exceeded the
revenues in an amount approximately half mil
lion dollars. This condition was largely brought
about by the heavy deficiency appropriations.
The estimates of the needs Of the state for
ordinary expenditures for the next biennial pc
riod are placed at 100000. The estimated
receipts are 81 400, 900, which will leave large
deficit unless deficiency levy is ordered.
Among the recommendations Of the auditor to
the legislature is that provision be made
for listing mineral lands under separate sched-
ule from farming lands. At present all arc
placed in the same schedule, which Is manifest
injustice.
He also recommends repeal Of the present wolf
bounty law, with its annual appropriation Of
IS, 900, which has developed into farce, as the
claims are so much greater than the appropriation
that all scaled down to small percentage
Of their face value.

GREAT G. ! YEAR FOR y.
CHANNEL WORK
GOVERNMENT SPENDS 100000 AT
THE 500. ~
Contracts Have Two Years to Run, and
Insure Continued Activity Along st.
Mary's River-When the Dredging Is
Completed the Channel Will Be Deep
Enough for the Largest Vessels.

Special to The Journal.
Sault Ste. Marie Mich, Nov. 29-Except for
the work under way at the 'Neebish channel, the
government improvements on the st. Mary's
river are about at an end far as this year is
concerned. It has been one of the greatest
years for work ever recorded, and hundreds of
thousands Of dollars have been expended in
improving this great waterway.
In round numbers, the amount of earth re-
moved from the channel since spring is 3d. so, 900
cubic yards. Several hundred men and many
dredges have been employed, and an expenditure
of not far from $4O0,0 900 has been entailed.
Most of this money has been spent in this To-
cality. -
Only one contract has been completed, that
of Charles Simono, who has been at work
section No. 1, at Little Rapids below the 500.
The others will run for two years yet in most
cases, which will insure great activity along the
river. ,
When the work is completed, the river chan
mel will be deep enough at every point to
insure the passing Of the largest vessels. The
contracts call for depth of twenty-one feet
at the lowest stage OF water, and on an average
the depth will be twenty-three feet.
Macarthur Brothers are working in the dry
handling rock, and will continue operations the
year around until the summer of 1908. If the
amount of material handled by them were
figured into the total, the work Of the year
would show up much greater. They have a
force of about 400 men and have built up small
town at Neebish island.
Vessel interests and the people Of this part
of Michigan are waiting anxiously to see what
congress will do at the. next session relative to
the passing Of river and harbor bill. The
widening Of the ship canal here depends on the
| passage Of such measure, and it is generally
believed in marine circles that If the money is
Forthcoming the work will be undertaken In
| 1905. In case this work is started, the st.
| Mary's river will be a; yeritable beehive, from
| Detour north to the 500, and several thousands
| of dollars will be paid out each week in wages.
