Charles G. Mills, of Dewitt,
is in the possession of a violin
191 years old. 1t has the follow
ing burned into the inside of the
back which of course could not
have been put there after the
violin had been finished, "Anto-
MUS Stradivarius Cremonenfs
Faciebat, Ammo. 1885,.
This violin was brought to this
country by a tramp, who came to
Flat Lick about 38 years ago, at
the time when William Phipps
kept a saloon there. The tramp
pledged the violin for whiskey
and could not redeem it. He
drank $1,000 worth of whiskey
and Phipps kept the violin. At
terward Phipps sold it to DR..
James Townsley for $500. Mills
happened to see the old relic at
DR.. Townships home and pur-
chased it for $500. 1t is hard to
say just what the violin is worth
but it is the rarest thing of its
kind, we would guess, in the
State.
The violin is now at the resi-
dence of the editor where any
one who will call can see it.

Oil in Knox County

With the prospects Of an early
spring, operators from differ
ent fields, who were fortunate
enough to SECURE territory in
Knox County before the price
for leases advanced, are arriving
daily and arranging for a speedy
development of this section of the
state.
A state of contentious exist
here that is very unusual in a new
field, especially when so little
test work has been done, and that
is, that bonuses are being paid for
territory lying miles from devel-
opment or drilling well. This is
accounted for however, by the
fact that-some Is years ago, a
company composed of New York
capitalists headed by P. 7. Dodge,
of the Mergenthaler Linotype Co.
drilled some two or three wells
in the north-central part of Knox
county to the sand from which
oil has been produced, profitable
at Williamsburg for the past IA
years. These wells when drilled
in at a depth of approximately
700 feet, showed but little gas
but filled up about 400 feet with
oil and would have made from
what has since proven true of the
wells at Williamsburg, 10 to Is
barrel bumpers had they been
operated. Shortly after these
Knox County wells had been
abandoned, the Williamsburg
wells were drilled. The facts
concerning these Knox County
second sand wells have only been
recently learned of, and since
which time, operators have been
trying to secure territory along
this northeast and northwest
line connecting the Williamsburg
production with northern Knox
County. Geologist who have done
a great deal of work throughout
Knox and Clay counties, claim
that conditions are favorable for
an extension of this line into Clay
County on the north.
Be it however as it may, Knox
County promises to be to the oper-
ator the center of attraction in
southeastern KY. during the COM
coming summer.
w. P. Wrenn of the Central
Oil Co. recently paid $4,000 for
a 200 acre lease on the Miller
farm which lies 5 miles from the
nearest test now being put down
while P. j. White, the well known
operator from Tulsa, Okla. who
has secured a nice block of leases
in Knox County has paid $500
per acre for leases on Indian Greek
