The Bishop and the Stage Driver.

Ethelbert Talbot, now Bishop of Cen
trail Pennsylvania and for years the
Bishop of Wyoming and Idaho, gives
many an anecdete in his book of remin-
iscences, "My People of the Plains.
It both pleased and amused him to
notice that the stage drivers class
accustomed to the use of free profanity
were wont to be respectful and clean
spoken in his presence, and that when
one by chance let slip an oath he fol
lowed it by profuse apologies; and he
gives an illustrative anecdote from the
experiences of Bishop Clarkson on the
plains of Nebraska.
Bishop was due to preach at certain
town on the prairies of Nebraska. It
was in the spring. and the mud was
up to the hubs in places. Already it
was growing dark, and the lights of
the village which the Bishop was try
ing to reach seemed still long way
off. He became little nervous, lest
Just then they encountered mud hole,
and the stagecoach stuck fast. The
driver laid on the lash, but in vain; the
horses would not move. The Bishop
was on the box with the driver, who
was getting desperate. Unable to stand
it longer, he turned to the Bishop and
said:
LIZ Sou cOC ohoSc WhCoicio 'ooAAhs
back at met
"' Yes, Harry. What does that
meana'
!" Bishop, you know I have always
tried to treat you right, and l respect
your cloth. But do you say you want

night p
q of course do, Harry. Why don't
YOU whip your horsess'
!" Whip 'em, Bishop! Amt | been

you say that you must preach there to-

" Well, Bishop, / ask it just once.
You see, these horses are used to my
style of Ntalkin' to 'em. / know it g
bad habit, and I know it s wrong; but
will you please give me dispensation
Just this one time? If you will, III
get you there or bust. What do you
say, Bishop?'
1.-THE Bishop felt the case to be ex-
treme.
!" Well, Harry, I suppose IL have
to. Fire away this one time
"Harry ripped out an oath, and the
horses got down on their launches,
cleared the mud hole, and landed the
Bishop in town just in time to keep
his appointment.

although but one shift per day was
engaged in this work. It is far more
economical in wood and water to
keep the drills running continuously
with three shifts. More than three
times the sinking can be done in the
same number of days, as steaming
u in the morning generally comes
out of the one shift The drills
averaged 1873 feet per shift for the
twenty-three shifts, but if shut downs
are deducted, the drill averaged 1876
feet per shift of actual operation.
We have found in all our work
that casing is necessary in every
hole. At times we have sunk 200 feet
without casing, but to go deeper,
casing was necessary, which meant
that the hole had to be trimmed out
at an expense of more than the
ORIGINAL cost of the hole for the 200
feet. l caution anyone contemplat-
ing the purchase of a drill to pro
vide rs casing for two-thirds
the depth, and Az casing for
full depth. This we had not done.
and probably 25 per cent has been
added to the cost of each hole, work.
ing without sufficient casing Trouble
may not be encountered in several
hundred feet, but soft strata of ten
feet will require the casing for the
entire hole.
We soon learned that wear and tear
on drilling cable was severe. Under
ordinary circumstances, each rope is
safe for 1900 feet of drilling. When
we appreciated our ropes were deterio-
rating, an order was placed at once.
BY October / such cable had not ar
rived, and we were compelled to order
by express from Ohio a coil Of rope
weighing 1850 pounds. With each drill,
two ropes of the same length as the
depth of the hole contemplated should
be ordered.
Water is required for both boiler
and diluting the drillings so that the
sand pump may bale them. The great
er quantity is required for the boiler.
This item Of expense is local with each
hole. It is advisable to haul water in
good wagon tank, as the drills may be
moved many times, and the cost Of
pipe might be greater than the cost of
hauling. A drill man and helper are
required on each shift; the former re-
ceiving $500 for eight hours work,
and the latter 1928. The item of fuel
and water is wholly relative, but will
be given in our particular Case, and
may be taken as an average for this
district.
The following is the tabulated costs
for certain hole, which we have taken
as an average:
Shifts Of sinking (eight hours
each). --......... 20 Gays
Depth Of hole Northumberland 0s feet
One drill man, wages. .............$ $3.50
One helper and assistance while
e earS of w easih each shift at $3.50
IL barrels water at $3.50 for haul
70 i Barrels 1 Der day (when running
Coal and oil. ........... 100
S,nerinfendence .......... SO. 90
Cost Of 3Os-foot hole. SAIL .s3
Cost per foot. .................... l.S3
Some water was encountered in this
hole, and we might say roughly that
two compartment shaft for the same
depth, with equipment, would have cost
about $4,000, or $40 per foot.
The question has often been raised
concerning the character and accuracy
