The Tri-City well adjoining their
property plugged in after striking gas

operations. This company has leased
$500 additional acres. The Tri-City
Company has many stockholders in
Sleepy Eye and one of the investors,
F. W.. Meyer, is down there at the
present time.
In the Minnesota Petroleum Com

with him DIR. A. F. Stricken, Aug.
Scroeder and F. G. McWilliams, of
Sleepy Eye, Albert Pfaender, of New
Ulm, and G. A. Works, of Austin,
Texas. These gentlemen purchased
the land outright on which they are
drilling at the present time and out
side of a little stock they distributed
among friends here, own the stock of
the company.
Mr.. Prokosch says that the trip
from Texas was made nearly on sche-
dule time, only four hours being lost
on the return home. Soldiers were
stationed in a number of places along
the route on guard duty. He says the
greatest difficulty along the roads he
travelled was experienced from over

have their origin in sound engineering. The engine
for example, is fitted with longer pistons and con-
