NARROW MOTOR CAR ESCAPf
G. w. ToMLINsON TAKES BIG
CHANCE TO AVOID ACCIDENT.

Sends Automobile Crashing Over Enc
bankment to Avoid Running Down a
Carriage and Car is Smashed but Par
ty Escapes without Serious Injury in
Remarkable Manner.
G. w. Tomlinson, of the Southern
New England Telephone company, and
Clarence L. Marsh and III. A. Rowland,
Of this city, had very narrow escape
from serious injury yesterday afternoon
while on their way to Milford in Mr..
Tomlinson's automobile.
Mr.. Tomlinson, who was driving the
machine at the time of the accident,
had Just passed the corner Of First and
Campbell avenues, which are but a
short distance below the Lion brewery,
when carriage appeared in front Of
the automobile and Mr. Tomlinson was
forced to slow down. A moment later,
however, the carriage turned aside and
he sent his car ahead at fair speed.
Unfortunately, however, at this mo
ment the carriage turned again directly
into the path OF the automobile, and 1t
was necessary for Mr.. Tonlinson either
to run down the carriage, send his ma
| chine crashing into a tree, which would
mean almost certain death for the &C
cupants, or to send it shooting over a
steep embankmert on the left side of
| the road, with almost the same chances
of escape. He decided, however, upon
the latter alternative and the automo-
| bile went tumbling and crashing
through the bushes to the ground be
low, throwing out the three men and In
| its descent turning completely over.
| ALI Of the men, with the exception of
Mr.. Rowland, whose shoulder was in
jured, escaped injury in a remarkable
manner and were only slightly shaken
| UP. ...1#gt
The automobile was much damaged,
| however, the gearing In the forward
part of the machine being badly twist
| ed and the seats and the forward part
of the car being smashed to kindling
4 wood. It was pulled out of the ditch
and taken to the Lion brewery, where
! it will remain until it can be towed
back to the city, probably some time
during the day.

YOUNG WOMAN WHO IS

drilled on the leases which she herself controlled was a well which gives promise of being the best yet struck in that terri tory.
 When first shot this well flowed at the rate of about one thousand barrels every twenty-fours hours and within a short time 1t had filled every tank that 1t was possible to find within a radius of several miles.
 The we'll is six miles to the main pipe line. and the Standard oil company Is now at work pushing the pipe line to take oil from this well. and within a week, 1t is believed, the line will be com plete, and thousands of barrels of oil now going to waste will add to the in- come of the "Oil Queen of Kentucky"
 Since gaining so much enviable notorety as the '.Oil Queen" Mrs. Russell Is in re- ceipt of hundreds of letters weekly from men in various parts of the union offering to share her wealth and 1abors by becom- ing her husband but all of these mis- sives find the shortest route to the waste basket.
 Mrs Russell has secured leases on thousands of acres of undeveloped land in Wayne county, and just as soon IS the pipe line is completed to take care of the oil flowing from her large well, she will begin drilling on her other leases. and by spring she hopes to have most of her leases developed She employs number of drillers and other oil experts who are in the field with her at all times and no matter how cold or rainy the weather may be she keeps constantly at her work, with the result that she will within few months be the heaviest oil operator in the entire state, if any of her leases prove successful.

PEARLS IN DEsoLATE LABRADOR.
A Little Known Source of Wealth m
 the Streams.

Gaspe Basin. Canada-The deep sea fisherman and whale or seal hunters are about the only people who know much of the Northern Labrador coast, where 1t runs up into Hudson Bay territory. Bar renness and desolation. rocky shores. beaten by the icy Atlantic, long winters and short, indictment summers are it's chief characteristics.
 There are but few signs of human life: merely ancient rockbuilt shelters set up by whalers from Nantucket or Glouces- ter, when Greenland whales were hunted among the icebergs, or rude seal hunters shanties, where observation parties land for day or two at time. But curious as 1t appears. there Is a little known source of wealth in that lone land.
 It Is found in the rushing rivers. which generally make their last leap into the ocean over a steep and high waterfall. The immense masses of fresh water mus sells, which in many places actually choke the streams first directed attention to 1t in late years.
 Men wondered why the old-time whale or seal hunters. and other early naviga- tors had collected such quantities of the

shells as were to be seen piled about the camping places. Then a short search by a well-read ne er-do-wel a few years ago revealed a large. irregularly shaped pearl. under a pile of old shells. and inn mediately a valuable secret was revealed to few persons.
 Since that time a certain number of men have become expert pearl fishers and now shipments are periodically and in summer, regularly made of pearls. These men make fair wages by their labors. though. of course. the returns vary according to the fortune. good or bad, which attends the individual.
 Some of the pearls are large and of great value. Last year about this time one was sold to New Yorker of rare discrimination in the purchase of curios for upward of s1OO0 In appearance these fresh water pearls are not easily distin- guished from those obtained in southern seas. though unfortunately certain per centage of them are irregular in shape
 Usually they are silver white in color. though a young man who has just re- turned from Labrador has pair of rose pink pearls. perfectly matched. which weigh about twelve grains each. and are worth probably $60 or s70 apiece.
 Strangely enough, this lucky one was not pearl hunter, but took a clump of shells In his hand, and sat down to open them with his pocket knife. He found the two pearls in one large she'll After that find he spent fortnight in search ing for more. but only secured about half a dozen small ones, worth perhaps B the lot.
 As rule the pearl hunting Is gone about in a more scientific manner than that The mussels are regularly stacked on fiat rocks or sand bars, and are al- lowed to democpose, when the shells open naturally and are easily examined for the pearls, which lie loosely embed- ded in the flesh of the fish.
 It appears that the Indians of that dis trict have always known of these fresh water pearls and that several of the rivers running north have been regularly fished for them for many generations. Most of the pearls collected by these peo- ple In olden times were ruined by being rudely bored, so that they might be strung for necklaces or for the adorn- ment of wampum belts.
 Nowadays, the wideawake Hudson Bay company traders pay fair price for all the Indians can collect. Some of the Montreal houses have regular dealings with the pearl hunters of the coast. and have agents on the spot who secure ship ments for them.

 ROM a lawyers stenographer at a
 modest salary of s10 per week to the richest woman in Kentucky, and perhaps the wealthiest woman oil operator in the world is big jump for any woman, but such has been the rapid rise of Mrs Mae Ora Hood Russell, who today is only 2S.
 Mrs. Russell who has been christened by oil operators "Petroleum Queen," Is the only woman oil operator in Kentucky and so far as is known, the only sue cessful one in America After gaining good common school education Mrs. Rus sell, who was then Mae Ora Hood, be- came a stenographer to an attorney. When about IS she became assistant to Rev John Henry Barrows, and helped him in the compilation of his book, 'The History of the Worlds Congresses of Religion
 While engaged In this work with Rev Barrows, Miss Hood met w. H. Rus sell, wealthy oil operator of Ohio, and his wooing of the comedy little Illinois girl was so ardent that he finally won her consent to marriage. Her marriage after a few years, proved to be failure and a separation followed and Mrs. Hus- sell went to Venezuela and the islands or the Caribbean sea. While travelling Mrs. Russell saw great prospects for oil and with the knowledge gained as the w\se of an oil operator she went to work to form company to bore for oil.
 After securing number of good leases in Venezuela Mrs. Russell returned to this country to secure a legal separation
 t.za~ fha frfn n the divorce case she formed company at her old home in Bloomington, H., to develop her foreign properties. Before she had arranged her domestic affairs to hermit her return to Venezuela she made trip to the oil fields of Wayne county Ky. After a careful study of the oil situation there she became convinced that oil in great quantities was hidden in those fields. She secured a number of leases, and on her return to Bloomington formed still another company to develop these leases. and then returned to Wayne coun- tv to personally superintendent the Work.
 During her work in Wayne county, in the deyelopment of the nrst lease she secured. Mrs. Russell got possession or other leases, and on one oi hel sis,Is so Bloomington she tried to persuade those who. had joined her first company to be- come interested in her new leases put they demurred with the excuse that they were satisfied with the ones then unoer way. -
 Such was her faith in her own Juoe ment however that Mrs. Russell invest, ed what money she had and all she could borrow on her Wayne county propertles in the new leases She pledged half interest in the leases for the money whicn she thus secured. and returning to Wayne county. she began drilling with force of men, and the result of the nrst well
