OIL GUSHER ON THE SAN JUAN
Drill Penetraes the Second Oil Sand Depth Of 7o Feet and tn
Oil Gushes Twelve Feet in the Air
IdHER GRADE lhAN THE OIL FOUND IN THE PlNssyLvA

w. T. S. White of Pittsburg, who
has been drilling for oil in the Raplee
oil field near Bluff, Utah, for the past
three months, was in Dolores Wednes-
day en- route to the East for the pur-
pose of interesting capitalists in the
San Juan oil field. MIR. White reports
chat on March 4th they struck a second
oil sand at depth of 2l0 feet and that
the oil gushed twelve feet above the
ground. The first sand had been
struck some time ago and some oil
was encountered, but not of sufficient
quantity to he of any value. The drill
was put down through this sand and
penetrated the second sand with The
above results.
Mr.. White is an expert oil man, and
is familiar with every phase OF the oil
business. He had with him grip full
of oil which will be used to convince
the skeptics. In speaking Of its ilif-
minating qualities he said that in his
estimation ii was superior TO any oil be
had ever seen. He is also confident
that there j. large quantities of oil IN
this field, and predicts that IL will b.
the richest oil field in the United States
He estimates that it will take So, coo, ,co0
to develop the field and put in n pipe

line To convey the crude oil to Dolores
where it could be refined aud shipped
out in tank cars. To realize on an In
vestment like this the field would have
to produce 10000 barrels per day,
which, Mr.. White says, it is more
than capable of doing.
The great advantage that this field
has over the other oil fields of Colorado
is that the oil is near the surface. The
depth of the wells in the Florence field
is from 1900 to $500 feet and the oil
seldom rises more than few hundred
feet in the hole and has to be lifted TO
the surface with pumps, while here the
oil is on OF near the surface and the
cost of pumping will be light.
Mr.. White is personally acquainted
with Col. J. NJ. Guffy, who developed
the Beaumount oil field of Texas, and
feels confident that he can interest
him in the Raplee field.
Del Raplee Is the one man who has
had such confidence that there was
oil in this locality that he has spent
much time aud money in getting
drilling outfit in, and his many friends
will be glad to hear that his efforts
have been crowned with greater sue
cess than he hoped for.

If you have valuable heifer that

had better keep her locked up in the
stable. Patty Murphy is given the
credit of playing joke on Mr.. and
Mrs. III. V. Pyle by turning their prize
heifer over to Messrs. Rush and Tho
man and having her dressed for veal.
This is the way it happened, and
whether Patty is guilty of the entire
offense or not we cannot say. Mr..
McGrew had fat calf which he want
ed converted into veal and engaged
Exon & Rush to do the converting
act. Messrs. Thoman and Rush called
at the Southern Hotel for the calf, and
as Mr.. McGrew was not present Mrs.
McGrew and Patty pointed ont the calf
which was in the street, and the butch
ers took it to the slaughter house and
killed it. Some time later Mr.. McGrew
went out to the stable and there stood
his fatted calf waiting for its feed, and
upon investigation learned that the
butchers had made veal of H. V. Pyle's
prize heifer. Harry hasn't saw the
joke yet.

RECKLESS AARON BURR.
The Dramatic Story of His Marriage
In old Age.

The story Of Aaron Burr's marriage
in his old age to the widow Of Stephen
Jumel, who was well known In the
early history Of New York city, is a
dramatic one.
Conceive, If you will, the picture Of
Burr, gifted adyenturer that he was,
broken in health, branded In the popu-
lar mind as the murderer of Alexander
Hamilton and returning from q long
exile to find himself an outcast in the
city where he had once been the pollt-
ical monarch Of all he surveyed and a
distinguished figure in society and at
the bar Conceive, If you can, this
lamentable old man, smirking through
his wrinkles, bowling and pranclng
rather stifiy because of his rheumatic
joints and with his mouth full of pret-
ty platltudes, paying court to th9wld-
ow Of Stephen Jumel, herself In the
prime Of years and health. Remove
from the picture its surface incongrui-
ties, and you have bit Of pure pathos
unequaled in the annals of foolish great
men.
But something Of his old time pow
er to charm the gentler sex must have
stood by him in his years Of mental
and physical misery, for in his suit for
the widow JumePs hand and fortune
he won glOriously, dramatically. Re-
buffed repeatedly, Burr finally de-
clared in passionate rage that on a
given day he would arrive at the Jumel
mansion accompanied by a clergyman,
who should marry them on the spot.
He would give his prospective bride no
quarter, no chance Of escape from the
inevitable.
She was amused at the threat and
dismissed the old man with more than
her usual coldness Of demeanor. Burr
stuck to his avowal and one July day
rolled up in a carriage, and with him
was minister, the same who fifty years
.~-.re performed the marriage cere-
mOny for Burr and the mother Of his
daughter the beautiful Theodosla. |
There was something Of scene in the |
old house on this day. There were
tears Of anger on the part Of Burr
Relatives demonstrated; Burr remained |
All feared q scandal. The
minister, book in hand, stood unob-
trusively In the background. There |
were more tears, more declarations Of |
love, and the widow Jumel
became Mrs. Aaron Burr.
They were married In the great
room Of the Jumel mansion.
Burr squandered with reckless hand
the wealth acquired by Stephen Jumel
and left for the enjoyment Of his
marital partner. There were many bit
ter quarrels between the Ill mated pair,
and they were soon divorced Burr
died in 1896, but madam lived until
1865, dying a recluse and miser, the
money received from the Jumel estate
boarded in an unused chamber.

Seuuinu Letters.

Nowhere is the ingenuity Of the
present age more apparent than in the
begging letters received by rich men, y
said a private secretary. Il have been
reading letters of that kind by the hun
dred for the past fifteen years. For
merly all begging letters sounded alike.
So stereotyped were they that they
might have been copied bodily from a
ready letter writer. Now the writers
display originality. They may want
the same old thing that their predeces-
sors wanted, but they ask for it in a
different way. People in need have
acquired the art Of expressing them.
selves In a dramatic way. That is to
their advantage. 1t may be unjust,
but usually the letter that hits the rich
5an hardest brings the most favorable
reply. The writer may not really need
assistance nearly so badly as some
timid suppliant who clings to trlte
phrases, but he gets the relief asked
for every time"

The Elephant.

"You no doubt have often heard
the tale Of the boy who gave the ele-
phant a piece Of tobacco and years
afterward the elephant spied the boy,
who had grown to mans estate, and
sent him reeling from a good wallop
with his trunk. / stood for these tales
for years and would always shy or
walk gingeriy past an elephant every
time 1 came near one" said an old cir
Gus man. There Is absolutely nothing
to the yarns about the wonderful
memories Of elephants that you hear
from every one that happens to talk
about them. That they do possess good
memories for animals Is a fact, but
they cannot be accused Of anything
like the marvels of intelligence that
many would lead one to believe. An
elephant Is a great, big, selfish crea-
ture with two Of the meanest, littlest
and most cunning and treacherous eyes
that any animal ever had. They are
lazy, and the best trainer in the world
expects to have the brute turn on him
at any moment."'-Exchange.

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
They Succeeded the System of Nomi
nation By Caucus.

They Succeeded the System of Nomi-
nation by Caucus.
Conventions have not always nomi
mated our presidents and vice presi-
dents. For more than thirty years
presidential candidates were named by
a caucus made up of members of the
house and the senate. This system
died when in 1924 the caucus insisted
upon by Martin Van Buren and other
friends Of William II. Crawford of
Georgia defeated Crawford, which
threw the election into the house on
account Of the scattering electoral vote
caused by the entrance of Clay, Cal
houn, Jackson and John Quincy Adams
in the race. This fracas elected Adams.
The campaign Of 1928 in consequence
was somewhat demOralized, and I'M
1881 the Republicans followed the ex-
ample the anti-MasOnic party had set
ton in Baltimore to nominate Henry
Clay. The Democrats held their first
national convention in the same city
the following year, nominating Martin
Van Buren for vice president The
dominating figure Of the party, Andrew
Jackson, needed no Endorsement of his
candidacy for the presidency.
The Democrats in 1885 and 1910
nominated Van Buren for the preSi
dency in Baltimore, and the Wings
nominated Clay in the same place in
1874, when the Democrats named Polk

Poisonous Plants,

T. c. Bridges, writing on the subject
of unsuspected poisons in the Grand
Magazine, draws attention to the fact
that a large number Of plants which
are usually looked upon as harmless
possess poisonous properties. Those
who are employed in picking daffodils
and narcissus frequently suffer severe
ly from a troublesome skin affection
known as "daffodil poisoning" The
most trying feature Of this ailment is
the small gatherings which form under
the finger nails. 1t is said that minute
crystals of lime exist in large numbers
in the juice of the stems of the pretty
blooms and that these are responsible
for the poisoning. Regular daffodil
pickers are accustomed to rub their
hands with oil and work tallow in un-
derneath their finger nails before be-
ginning their work. The bulbs Of the
white Roman hyacinth have similar
unpleasant properties.
