Drilled Through Two Sands.

The Franklin & Phillips well in
20 2-3 has been drilled through the
two gas sands found. The first sand
had a thickness of u feet and a pro
duction of 81, 10000 cubic feet. The
second sand had a thickness of %
feet and when the drill was eight feet
in the pay the production tested A.
100000 feet and with deeper drilling
the production was increased. The
sands will be mudded in, the S-inch
will be run and deeper drilling will be
done in search of an oil sand. l.. w.
Burrow was commissioned by the
state corporation commission TO take
charge of the we'll for the owners and
to drill it in. Mr.. Burrow at all times
had the well under control and when
drilling was stopped at night the well
was shut in. The gas was conserved
as best it could be when the privilege
of drilling through was granted. The
well had an immense volume of gas,
and it will be worth much to the peo'
pie of this city.

Janan Makes Big loan 70 Russia.

Toxic. Oct lO.-The fact that a
loan TO Russia Of 20 million yen Cabout
s35. .OO0.OOO) was twice over subscribed
BY the public has attracted consider
able attention in Japan and is re-
garded by the press as indicating
faith in the victory or the entente
allies and faith in the power Of the
rehabilitation Of Russia. The loan was
at six per cent and consisted Of Rus
sian treasury bonds.
II is likely that additional loans OF a
similar nature will be made subse-
quently as Russia desires TO raise a
total OF $50 million yen in Japan
(about 125 million dollars). II is
understood that the loan will be util-
lied in the payment OF munitions Of
war purchased in Japan by Russia.

Mexleans ENGAGED on Railroads.

Laredo, Tex, oct. 10.-Thousands
of Mexican laborers, both residents of
the American side and new arrivals
from the interior have been taken to
the north and east TO fill the places
in railroad section WORK made vacant
by Italians and other foreigners who
have returned to Europe to join their
colors.
The influx of MeXicans to the Amer
lean side has not ceased, however,
for day by day hundreds of laborers
cross the border and are quickly en-
gagged by labor agents for railroad
work. Free medical attention in the
event of sickness and free transpor-
tation to their destinations are offered
these laborers as an inducement to
go east Wages paid, it is said, range
from s1SO to S225 per day.
It is noticeable that although few
of the Mexicans speak the English
language. it is very seldom that an
Interpreter is employed, dependence
rather being placed on securing a
few among the laborers who speak a
little English Section foremen, it is
said. prefer to convey orders to the
laborers, and to illustrate the use Of
shovel picll-axe and jacks, by the
sign language.
