Wells More Than a Mile Deep

VCllS UlOhC Hail ~ UAllC DcCRs
The deepest well in the world is in
Upper Silesia, in the German Empire.
1t is diamond-drill hole in a coal field
and is 1859 feet deep. A well in the
United States which may go deeper,
according to the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, is miles northwest of Nc
Donald, Pa, and about Is miles west
of Pittsburg. This well, which is being
sunk to the Medina sandstone-a bed
that elsewhere contains oil and gas
is now lila feet deep. Some gas and
oil were struck in the upper part of
the well. Between the depths of 6, $3.50
and Z, 100 feet rocks bearing rock salt
and salt water were encountered. These
are regarded as of Salina age, the same
as those carrying rock salt in western
New York. The temperature in this
well at the depth of SITS feet, as re-
Gently determined with great accuracy,
is 1858 degrees Fahrenheit.
At Derrick city, Mexican County, Pa.
near Bradford, there is a well $500
feet deep, which is probably the second
deepest well in the United States. An
other deep well is on Slaughter Greek,
Kanawha county, w. Va; it is $685.
feet deep. 1t penetrated a sandstone
at 5000 to $3.50 feet, and from this
depth to the bottom, a distance of $40
feet, the well is in limestone. Near
West Elizobeth, Pa. there is another
well 5,575 feet beneath the surface,
penetrating into a black shale. An
other deep well is being drilled at
Gaines, Pa. This has already reached
a depth Of $500 feet. Deep well drill
ers in this country of course employ
the most improved and effective rigs,
but one of the most remarkable of
wells, reaching depth of 5000 feet,
was drilled for petroleum in western
China by means of such crude appli-
ances as a cable made of twisted strands
of rattan.

A Step in Tick Eradication in Grant.
On Wednesday night, May 10,

VII VCOlCoNoy hi6he, AsA0J ~,
a public meeting was held in
Pollock that will eventually mean
more in dollars and cents to the
citizens of Grant parish than any
meeting held in the past twelve
months. The attendance was
very small, but the men came
with a determination to do some
thing and they did it. Those
men wanted to kill the ticks on
their cattle, and they wanted to
do it at once. They subscribed
the necessary funds, completed
organization, and set June 10 as
their first dipping day.
Prof. ]. N. Warner was elect
ed permanent chairman of the
Pollock Dipping Vat Association,
with r. A. Walker as secretary
treasurer, and Wiley Walker, Wi
ley Johnson and Jim Hathorn
were appointed as a building COM
mittee and instructed to proceed
at once with the construction of
the vat. The farm demonstra-
ton agent was present and was
consulted on the amount of ma
terial needed, cost, location, etc.
Ninety dollars was made up that
night, and the building commit
tee agreed to meet on the tenta-
tive site of the vat the next af-
ternoon and proceed with the
work as soon as possible.
On Friday night, June II, if a
stranger had approached the site
of the vat at Pollock, he might
have thought he was at Salem,
Mass, in the times of witchcraft.
Upon closer investigation, how
ever, he would have found that
a few public spirited men were
engaged in the business of pre-
pairing the necessary solution for
filling the dipping vat. Over a
huge fire of pine knots hung a
big black iron kettle of stear1ing
ingredients, to which Wiley John
son was adding small portions of
white powder, or small white
Jumps, or a black looking liquid,
while R. H. Benton was constant
ly stirring the solution with a
big paddle.
At the we'll were a dozen boys
awaiting their turn to draw a
hundred gallons of water in or
der to earn a pass to the picture
show for the following night.
Presently, the cook pronounces
the broth done. and Wiley Walker
grabs a bucket and balls the hot
liquid into the dipping vat, which
is already more than half full of
water. AS soon as this is done,
the fire is replenished, more
water is put in the kettle, and
the process repeated.
The result is, that on Saturday
morning, about forty head of cat
tie were collected in the corrals
of the dipping vat, where they
were vaccinated against Charlton
and then run through the vat.
They were followed by four dogs,
two goats and the applause of an
enthusiastic crowd.
Grant parish already has five
private dipping watts, one belong
ing to the agricultural school at
Verda, which is of great service,
but this is the first public vat
built in this parish. We hope it
will soon be followed by public
watts in all of the towns of Grant
and in the most important farm
ing settlements until this parish
is entirely free of ticks.
The total cost of the vat itself
was $68. However, a well was
built near the vat, and consider
able fencing done in the wav of
