the people of the city. Everyone is
feeling the feverish excitement which
comes with the prospects of suddenly
having more money than one can COM

More oil activity is predicted in the
near future following the settlement dur
ing the week of the receivership suit Of
the Birkshire Oil Corporation Prac-

another to depth of 5000 feet, although
