The photograph here given is a fairly
good one of the deep well being drilled at
Mayburg, this county, and which is doubt
less the deepest one ever sunk in this or
known record is concerned. Mr.. Richards
gives the following complete account of the
deep hole which must grow in value as the
years pass;
MAYBURG, Pa, April g. 1919.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN-The deep well at
Mayburg is owned and carried on by Col
| lins e. Richards, y. d. Collins, of Nebras-
ka., Pa, and VIM. Richards, of Mayburg
1t is located about one-fourth of a mile up
the Arner branch of Bobs creek, on war
rant No. 5236. The location is along the
western line of the tract, about half way
from the corners. Sea level, 200 feet, cas-
ing 400 feet.
The rig is a regular style standard rig, but
redesigned by VIM. Richards, and built by
James A. Huling, of Tionesta, in the
spring of 1910. Derrick 100 feet high by %
feet base, legs 2x10 by 2xl2. The 2x1O are
double all the way up. Two-inch girths
and braces about half way up. Bull wheels
nine feet in diameter, three tugs and two
10-ipch brake irons, 2O-inch shaft covered
with three-eighths steel covering. The
sides of the spool where the wire cable is
wound is three-eighths steel bolted onto
four segments of SX24 beech. This makes
an excellent job and prevents the cutting of
the shaft, which would be done if not well
protected. The gudgeons of the bull wheel
are six inches in diameter. Derrick pulley
80 inches with six-inch bearings. The band
wheel is Is feet in diameter, large crank
wrist pin 5x3l-inch pin, tool steel The
sand reel is regular California straight line
style, iron pulleys 14-inch face. 1t carries
5000 feet of one half inch sand line, four
inch steel shaft. Works good National
Supply Co. sand reel and band wheel irons.
The walking beam is l4y25 good old For
est county white pine with steel truss over
the top of it of 2l-inch soft steel. Under
the middle of this truss, which is about
three inches high in the center of the beam,
is set of car springs, which gives it about
the right spring, and lets the pine beam
come into play.
The engine is Struthers e. Wells 12Xl2-
inch regular drilling engine, rated at 35 h.
p, and is certainly very fine piece of ma
chinery. The belt is six-ply l4-inch rub
Der of very extra quality. Boiler 80 h. p,
but we do not need that much.
The rig timbers are extra heavy, and
there is an extra main sill under the mud
sills. Then both main sills bolted together
and the cap of the jack post bolted down to
the main sills, which seems to give us just
about the right thing, for there is no lift
ing of timbers and now at 500 feet deep
there is not quiver in the timbers.
The cable is a one-inch steel wire line
made by the Williamsport Wire Rope Co,
1t is $500 feet long and is doing good ser
vice.
We run now 30-foot stem of 32-inch
steel. Jars, bits and rope socket Of regular
6l-iuch hole style, only a little heavy. The
stem on the upper part of the hole was
10 feet by 3Y-inch steel.
The well was started in May, 1910, under
contract for $500 feet, Ed. Christy, con-

PEOPLE ought to keep sweet under all
circumstances, thinks the Punxsutawney
Spirit. They would live longer, have
better health aud more friends and be
much happier than by nursing a crouch
and harboring bitterness in their hearts.
Burns puts the idea in this language:
"Out upon the tempest of anger, the
acrim onious gall OF iretful impatience,
the solemn frost of lowering resentment,
or the corroding poison of withered envy
They eat up the immortal part of a man,
and like the traitor Iscariot, betray their
lord and master"

fhAt charee 81 Repeatlne.

u
The Exponent jttggled come cleo
ton hghres Saturday IN an at
tempted comparison OF the vote al
the recent city election With that Of
last year and then got the following
OF:
here did the increased vote
come from? 1t can only be ac-
counted for by the illegal voting and
repeating that was done by those IN
charge Of the Republican machine. $
An examination of the election re-
turns this year and last does not
bear the Exponent ont in the declara-
ton herein quoted. For instance.
take the vote last year for city clerk.
Mr.. DnIfee, the Democratic nomi-
nee, received 7s1 votes and Mr.. cole,
the Republican nominee, received
1913, votes, making a total of 2O94
votes cast last year for the Demo.
cratic and Republican nominees for
city clerk. This year Mr.. Holden,
the Democratic nominee for city
clerk. received GOT votes and Mr..
Cole, the Republican nominee, re-
ceiyed 1888 votes, making total of
2,0s5 votes cast for the Democratic
and Republican nominees for city
clerk this year. These figures show
that fine Democratic candidate re.
ceiEed 124 votes more this year than
the Democratic candidate last year
received. Were 1T not for the fact
that the Republican nominee re-
ceived fewer votes than he did last
year, the right logic would be ac-
cording to the declaration made by
the Exponent that the illegal voting
and repeating 1t talks about were in
favor of the Democratic nominee,
and II SO, naturally it was the DEM
ocratic party that was guilty of he
charge made by the Exponent. The
truth is only one more vote was
counted this year for the Democratic
and Republican nominees for city
clerk than were counted for the two
parties candidates last year for that
Office.
Further analysis OF the vote cast
last year and this would prove the
falsty of the reasoning of the Ex-
ponent but this one instance is suf-
.ftcient as every man who thiaks
knows.

Those who represented arr Mad
den at the recount and Mr. Madden
himself evidently know that the re-
count was on the square and some
Of them have so admitted. But. Il
they DO not know it. they have their
remedy in the form OF contest.
They know, however, that Mr.. Mad.
den would fare NO better in such q
contest than he did In the recount
for the reason that he did not re-
ceive as many votes election, day as
Mr.. Kearns did.
These are the plain facts In the
case and attempts to misconstrue or
distort them or to prejudice the
public through baseless gsneralities
and false accusations will not change
them and such attempts weaken the
cause advocated for the reason that
they are SO apparently without foun-
dalton that they lead the public to
believe that those who make them
contend for the prevalence of wrong
rather than right and Injustice

That Wall for Madden.

A laborious attempt is made by the
Exponent to make the impression
that Patrick j. Madden was robbed
of a seat in the city council by the
council, when the vote for council
man In the First ward>S was re-
counted by. that body upon request
Of John F. Kearhs, who was Mr..
Maddeh's chief rival in the election.
The Exponent,s attempt was not
based on the facts in the case.
The unofficial returns gave MT.
MADDEN plurality of one vote and
it was known that Ave votes had not
been counted by the election com.
missioners. Mr.. Kearns had reasons
to believe that the greater number
of tho FIVE uncounted votes were In
his favor and he accordingly asked
the council for recount. The coun-
ell could not refuse him this for the
reason that the law provides that
any candidate has a right to ask
for a recount and that the council
must concede that demand.
Friends of Mr.. Madden tried to
prevent a recount and his attorney
went SO far as to try to stay such re-
count.
The recount was made in open
council with Mr.. Madden and HIS at
torney as we'll as several spectators
present at the table where the re.
count was made. Every inch OF
ground possible was assumed by
Mr.. Madden's counsel and two mem
bers Of the city council who looked
jealousy after Mr.. Madden's inter,
ests.
The five uncounted votes were
laid to one side and not taken UP un.
til after the remaining votes had
been recounted showing that Mr.
Kearns had in fact received 21J
votes instead of 213 and that Mr.
Madden had in fact received only
212 votes instead of 2r4, 1t wa'
clearly in evidence then that a mis-
take had been made at the election
polls in counting or tallying the
votes for Madden and Kearns. II
showed that Mr.. Kearns was elected
without the Ave uncounted votes oJ
a plurality OF three. votes. Then o.
the Eve uncounted votes one plainly
meant To he cast for Mr.. Kearns was
