The new drill CT Ray Durfee, has taken hold of the situation in a thoroughly competent man. ner, and has never at any time expressed any doubt as to the future of this drilling. It seems entirely possible that the News will be able to announce production from this we'll in the near future.

ever by ". A. Hayes, state attorney
for the road, to counsel for the plain
tiff, st Fond du Lac, was SIS, ,639.64.
