 DEVELOPMENTS
Drilling Resumed at Rosston We'll Yesterday-Drill- ing Deeper at Britt's
 Switch We'll

Dr Hing was resumed today at the kanark well at Rosston, which has reached depth of 296O feet, in what is said to be rock.
 The casing was pulled yesterday and the hole is full of salt water thought to be coming from about 1S0 feet above the bottom of the hole.
 Water for drilling purposes was low and a water we'll was drilled Tuesday
 The consensus of opinion among oil men is that when the drill bit cuts through the rock foundation, a gusher will be the result.
 The well at Britt's Switch was bal ed out to the bottom yesterday morn ing, and there was fine showing of oil and gas. They were drilling six feet deeper in the sand yesterday. The hole is in fine shape and looks good.

A Year Ago and Now

y Drawing comparisons with the widely
changed state of affairs markctwiSe at
the moment and those existing twelve
months ago. one of the large wire houses
Of New York sent out the following yes
terday, which comes near hitting the
nail on the head:
"One year ago today the specialists,
In agony, were having field day.
Credit was being curtalcd to force
| liquidation and imitation in every line Of
business. Holders of securities were
throwing them overheard regardless of
consequence, but with one idea in mind
to get rid Of them and establish loss
against their returns of few weeks
subsequent.
To-day there is n vastly different
story. Credit mas been established,
Imitation has been largely overcome,
lsnoney Is easy, bonds have risen stead
lily over Il period Of seven months, and
many leading securities are selling at
the highest prices Of tho year. Such n
thing. wholly Unbelievable n year ago,
is now witnessed az that Of Atchison
