NO. 14 OIL OPERATIONS. Wildwood Ilas Come to the Front AgainLocal Operations, A Pittsburg dispatch says: Deceptive, ever vacillating Wildwood, to the surprise of all came up smiling yesterday is ready for the third utter It was thought it been whipped. "Of the many surprises this field has presented, none have been greater than the developments of yesterday on the southwest The end that was thought in sight two weeks ago is not yet. it the Greenlee Forst well, on the Peebles farm, which found the second pay at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, should prove a stayer.

The well was four feet in the sand Wednesday night and the hole full of oil. They started the drill again yesterday, and when eighteen feet in the sand got the second pay. The well is flowing 100 barrels hour. The owners were as much surprised at the magnitude of the well as those se who were not interested, for only two tanks, each with a capacity of 250 barrels, had been erected, and the pipe line had not been requested to connect the well. In consequence of this, before the lines can be completed sowe of the production will find its way into Pine Creek.

Coon Manderville's No. 1 on Kress the is twenty feet in the sand making ten barrels an hour. The Roth Oil Co. have rig up for their No. 2 on the Fogle farm.

Ireland Hughes are 15 feet in the sand on the J. Bryant farm but had no oil at 5 o'clock lastevening. They may get it McCurdy is dividing honors with Wildwood. There are but few operators ho hold nterests in both fields and in consequence the scouts when they come in are besieged by both classes for the latest news from the field. THE ALLEGANY FIELD.

The Bradford Era's oil scout visited the Allegany field Friday, and sizes it up as tollows: Work in the Allegany field continues on the decline; but little new work has been done during the month, and there is no disposition on the purt of operators here to increase the production of old wells, even if such a thing were possible by the extensive use of explosives. The fact is attributed mainly to the continued low price of crude. The Allsgany Oil company have completed a well on the Manning farm. It will probably do three barrels. The Burlingame Parker Oil company's well on the May farm, which showed for a good well, proved to be only of a three barrel calibre.

The same company have a rig building on the Burlingame farm, further north, which is supposed to be on the extreme southern edge of this pool, and the progress of the drill at this point will be watched with interest. Locations have been made for wells on the Parker and May farms. F. R. Page finished his well on the Heineman farm this week and it started off like a gusher.

doing twenty-five barrels a day. It is on the decline and will settle about ten barrels. Mr. Page has a rig up on the Meloy farm. Bussell, Johnson Co.

have completed a four barrel well on the Laubenthall farm. Sereral well kuown operators in this field are leaving for pastures new. The Alexander Brothers are pulling up stakes and shipping their machinery and rigging to the Butler field, they will try their luck. GAS FOR PORTVILLE. A Ceres, correspondent writes that a syndicate composed of Bolivar, Portville and Olean capitalists have leased 2.000 acres of territory lying north of that village and propose as soon as spring opens to pipe gas to Ceres and continne the line down the river to Portville, a distance of five miles.

Two wells have already been drilled on one of the leases, and as they show a strong pressure of the needed article there; is no doubt of an abundant supply. "Other wells will be drilled at once and the enterprise may be said to be a go of the most pronounced type. Wilson Brothers. of Bolivar, are engineering the scheme. A NEW FIELD.

A Cuba dispatch says: A syndicate of capitalists have formed. a combine to be known as the Cuba Oil company, and hare leased a large orea of territory in North Cuba. and will at once proceed to bounce the drill. Locations hare been made, timbers are on the ground, and the work of building rigs was begun yesterday. FOR OIL OR GAS.

M. L. and T. J. Fenton hare leased to a stock company represented by Rollin Dow, of East Randolph 2.500 acres 01 land in what is known as the John Fenton tract in the town of South Valley.

Cattaraugus county. The company will drill several wells on the land in tho hope of securing either oil or gas. The tract comprises 36.000 acres, and the Messrs. Fenton will retain 1,000 acres for their own use. At Rindolph J.

W. Beacom is continueing his drill operation. He has three or four wells with a fair flow and is now at work connecting then with pipes. Ho experis to begin sup. plying gas to consumer- in the spring.

The Hornellsville Farmers' club discussed maple sugar making at a recent meeting. "The Hornellsville Times says: Mr. Azuriah Beach, of Willing, Allegany county, opened the discussion, gave a very interesting account the progress that had in the process cf the manufacture of the maple product since his boyhood, when his rather boiled the sap in a row of kettles hung from a pole--a five pail kettle being the largest; later, a pan with iron bottom and wooden sides set on an arch. A very great improvement from that to the cauldron kettle hung from a balance pole; then the potash settle, with eaders to supply the sap from the storage tub; next the improved pan with iron side, and now the patent evaporator. Mr.

Beach explained his method of tapping his trees, and exhibited before the club the instrument that he uses for this purpose, being an ordinary double bitted axe, with one bit worked down narrow by a blacksinith and formed in the shape of a gouge, about one and one-half inc.es wide. With a stroke of this bit he cuts a gash in the tree with an ward slant, and then drives a sheet iron spout under, with nail below to hang bucket on. As the season advances and the wound begins to dry over, he gues around with a gouge and mallet cuts the lip from above the gash first made, making a fresh wound and renewing the flow of sap. Mr. Beach be-' lieves that this method of tapping is preferable to the usual method of boring as it makes a shallow wound, and will dry and heal over, and is not as liable to decay as a deeper hole in the tree.

Two things must be strictly borne in mind to insure a perfect product, absolute cleanliness, and completing the manufacture as soon as possible from the tree. A large tub is used for gathering, and roads are cut to drive convenientlyito all the trees. A good man gathers from 800 trees in half a day. All wocden tubs and leading trougbs paintad red outside and white inside, and re painted as often as the paint begins to scale off. The sap is strained into drawing tub, and again to the evaporator.

The Cook evaporator is used, and is thoroughly washed once every twenty-four hours, the false sides being washed twice a day. The syrup is strained to the small syrup, or sugaring off, pan, and de boiled to the point required to weigh eleven pounds per gallon. If sugar is the desired product, the boiling is continued until it will break readily when dropped on snow, then turned into cooling, pan, and stirred to the proper grain, coarse or fine. as desired, using a wooden paddle, and is moulded in five pound moulds. No foreign substance is used for cleaning, believing that nothing is more pure than the maple sap.

if kept in its purity as it comes from the tree. He I does not approve of the use of woolen strainers, but prefer five linen. SOUTH VALLEY DIVIDED. Assemblyman Whipple has Finally Got a Bill Passed. Governor Hill Wednesday transmitted to the assembly his veto of Whipple's bill legalizing the act of the county board of supervisors in dividing the town of South Valley into two towns.

The governor sars it is not the province of the legislature to divide a town. There is already a general act conferring such power on boards of supervisors. This is a special act legalizing and confirming the action of the board of supervisors of Cattaraugus county in the division of ihe town of South Valley. While the legislature might with propriety in such cases interfere to cure some slight technical defect not affecting the merits. it ought not to intervene to correct by a wholesale departure from the statute under which the towns are divided.

Mr. Whipple said he was satisfied the gorernor was right and he had a new bill drawn by Professor Collins on on the same subject. He asked unanimons consent to introduce and pass it now. Consent was granted and the bill was passed. Resurrection of a Rushford Woman.

All the members were present with the exception of Alderman Dean. of the Fourth, but not much business of importance was transacted.

Lieutenant R. M. Whitney. of the Forty-third. remittance Separate of the company, charge against asked the armory for the construction of the sidewalk in, front of the property on Barry street.

He regarded the armory as a public improvement. and did not think the company should have to pay for the sidewalks. The tax was remitted. The recent flood was the subject of an informal discussion. A few weeks ago resolution was passed by the council petitioning the state legislature for an appropriation of $15,000 to defray the expense of raising and strengthening the banks of the Olean creek and Allegany river at this point, to prevent the orerflows which have becomes so frequent of late.

A committee prominent citizens was also appointed to go to Albany and urge the passage of a bill granting the appropriation. The clerk had neglected to officially notify the gentleman of their appointment. He was instructed to do SO immediately. At last week's meeting Riley Wands, the wholesale grocers at the corner of Union and Sullivan streets, presented a bill for $220 for damages to stork stored in their cellar Aby surface water flooding it. The street committee last erening reported that they had gated the matter and were opinion that Riley Wands were entitled tono damages.

report was accepted and the bill disallowed. Alderman Goodwin stated that Joseph Heilbrunn desired the city to repair Union street in front of his new junk buildings to admit of the ingress egress of heartily loaded wagons. The matter was referred to the street committee. It was voted to order a fire alarm indicator for the new Fountain hose house on First street.

Saturday afternoon while three men, Charles Miller, John Peters and Dick Jones, were hunting rabbits in the woods on Morrison Run. about five miles from Warren, they found an old she bear and two cubs comfortably reposing under the lee side of a log.

Miller and Peters each had a gun, but Jones's armament consisted of only a dog. By the way, the dog found the bears. Peters first caught sight of group and fired, killing one of the cubs. The mother and the remaining cub then made tracks, and after being pursued some distance the old one attempted to climb a tree. Jones's dog was at her heels making things lively, and as the party came up the bear was trying to ward off the dog and at the same time climb the tree.

Charles Miller walked around the tree and met Mistress Bear as she attempted to escape, and put a charge of No. 6 shot into her head directiy between the eyes, standing at a distance of four feet from her. Attention was next turned to the remaining cub and Mr. Miller put a shot into it. The cub ed on a run and led the hunters a chase of three-quarters of a mile before it succumbed.

The three carcasses were brought to Warren Sunday evening and sold to Geo. Williams, of the Adelphia Kitchen, who will serve bear steak to his customers commeucing Wednesday morning. The old bear weighed 150 pounds an 1 the cubs pounds each. The bide of the large one was sold for $18. The carcasses are now on exhibition in front of Williams' restaurant.

The three animals were killed with Mirror. DEMOCRATS DOUBLING. Two Supervisors in Chautauqua County In 1889; Nine in 1891. JAMESTOWN, N. Feb.

News Notes from Near By Towns and Cities. The Mountain Echo is the name of a new weekly paper which has made its appearance at Emporium, Pa. A man examining jewelry at Edwards Lee's store in Butlalo last week, stituted a cheap imitation for a handsome diamond ring in the tray. The theft was not discovered for several days. While returning from Little Valley Wednesday Frank McGinitty, a farmer living two miles south of Randolph, was struck by the locomotive of Erie train 1 at the Salamanca station.

His age was about 48 years and a wife and two daughters survive. Friday Elton Brown, of Conewango, aged 16 years, was attempting to unhitch a colt at the blacksmith shop in, Randolph, when the animal kicked him in the face. It was necessary to remore a piece of the skull over the eres. but it is thought he will not lose his sight. Mr.

Cranes. the Utica gentleman who had four drummers arrested for eating a bag of oranges that belonged to Lim, has been arreted by one of the men on the charge of illegal imprisonment. He, was required to give bail in the sum of $2,000, but when his bond was presented it was found to be for over $1.000.000, representing all the solid men of Utica. Last Saturday as Frank Stone was starting a fire in the basement stove at Morgan Hall, says the Franklinville: Chronicle. he heard a rustling in the store inside.

An investigation followed and a snow bird came from the stove into the room. To get there it was necessary for the bird to pass through about serenty-fire feet of stove pipe, and around several bends. Owing to his advarcing years General R. I Howard of Buffalo, owner of the Howard stock farm, has sold for 500 all the horses. stock on his farm, comprising 90 trotters and two coach horse.

The purchaser was W. J. White of Cleveland who owns the Two Minute stock farm of 275 acres, just out of Clereland. Thither the horses will be remored. White has amassed his large fortune from the sale of Yucatan gum.

Gowanda is startled over the sudden disappearance of Col. Munson. one of her best known and liberal citizens. Financial difficulty is the cause of his departure. The Herald of that place says: Munson has been a good deal of an anomaly to the citizens of Go-, wanda, and to a certain extent--a character -his eccentricities were many and are well known.

He came to Gowanda ten or twelve years ago apparently in straightened circumstances and went inthe employment of the late firm of Sellow Popple. After a time he appeared to have plenty of money and no oLe erer knew from where it came. He soon married, and has u1own a wide swarth since and always appeared to have money in abundance, and it was not generally known that he was a Col. Munson has kept his life's history entirely to hiwself, and to the great disI comfiture of the curious. he came: has gone.

It is believed by many that he will yet return and satisfactorily adjust his now tangled matters." FARMERS' SUGAR TRUST. Their Combinations Fail to Bring About any Goud Results. A Sinclairville dispatch says: The maple sugar crop is one of the big things central and southern Chautauqua, and in a good rear the output reaches away up in the thousand pounds. Lately the farmers have given more attention to the manufacture of syrup than sugar. there being more money in the former; but when it was made known that the product of the maple came under the sugar bounty law, there was a hurrying to and fro among the sugar makers and combinations were formed.

Two. three and as many as a dozen clubbed together for the purpose of pooling their saccharine issue. It looke! as though Sugar was going to be scarce article for some rears to come. While there are a great many farmers who produce the 500 pounds, the majority make re less than this amount. which expiains the combinations.

The scheme was to gire one man charge of the pro duct. and he was to make his statement to the gorernment and draw the bounty, dividing the spoils when the returns were received. The (-dict from the treasure department that sugar made bufore Julr 1. 1591. was not in it, has had a decidedly dampening effect upon these trust formers.

and a great many of them think they bare been unfairly dealt with. OUTRAGE AT LAKEWOOD. Burning in of Temperance Adrocatec-1 Combination. A Lakewood Chautauqua county. dispatch Too true element of the ring hat an outbreak Wednesdar their defeat on excise' mmission 7.

small frame residence, of Mrs. George Calkins and children, on Grove street near the B. E. C. raiiroad undhouse, was destroyed by fire early yesterday morning.

The fire originated from the coal stove. Members of the family had arisen and built a fire, of soft coal. then gone back to bed, and have fallen asleep. Neighbors dis. covering the fire, broke into the bousa and removed the occupants.

save one, which could not be reached. The children were hurridly removed by war of the windows, and 'all were burned. Fears are entertained that the mother and one or two of the children cannot recover. The sutferers were taken to a neighbor's, and afterwards removed to the rasidence of A. J.

Applebee, where they will receive every attention that will reliere their terrible sufferings. The remains of the child have been recovered and removed to the undertaking rooms of D. S. Jones, and will probably be viewed by the coroner. The father left Wellsville some two years ago, and his whereabouts are not known here.

The firemen were slow to get a line laid. but nothing further than extinguishing the embers could be accomplished, as the house was very small, and was burned nearly to the ground when they arrived. DISCUSSING ANNEXATION. The Citizens of Beardmanville are Boa ginning to Realize their Position. The destruction by fire of Charles Carter's residence in Boardman vile Sunday evening seems to have awakened the citizens of that suburb to a realization of their unprotected condition in regard to fires.

was 3 disastrous oue, but it would have been much more so had the wind been blowing in another direction. Last evening a number of the citizens held a meeting to discuss annexation to the city and ways and means of fire protection. A few thought the organization of a hook and ladder company would answer all present requirements, but the majority were in faror of and came out strongly for annexation to the city. whereby they might enjoy the full benefits of the city's protection in some way yet to be determined. No definite conclusion was arrived at, howerer, and at a late hour the meeting was adjourned to Thursday evening, February 26, at the same place.

The example of the Boardmanville citizens might be followed with profit by the people living in the other suburbs of North and East Olean. They should. not wait for a practical demonstration of the wisdom of the more, such as has been visited upon Boardmanville. THE Y. M.

C. A. ROOMS. They Have Been Wonderfally Improved in Appearance During the Week. C.

T. Nickum and a force of workmen were engaged during last week in brightening up the Y. M. C. A rooms with paint and paper.

All the woodwork of the parlors has been treated to a fresh and clean new coat of paint. The side and end walls of the reading room and auditorium have been covered with a handsome light olive ingrain per, which gives them the appearance of being frescoed. It is surmounted by a pretty figured frieze to match. The top walls are covered with a handsome gilt-figured light blue paper for fields. trimmed in terra cotta.

with double band extensions of a pretty pattern. The wain ceiling is trimmed in like manner. but the field is of darker blue, and the figures are more pronouncod. The effect of the new order of things is to wonderfully brighten and light up the rooms, as well as to enhance their leant an hundred fold. The walls and ceilings of the parlors back of the auditorium hare aiso been corored with a pretty paper.

and present a wonderfully improved appearance. Some changes hare also been made in 1l arrangment of the auditorium. The speakers platform has been taken out of the south end of the room. cut down to half its former size. and placed in the southwest corner.

where the secretary's disk formerly stood. The directors hare decided not to put in electric lights. but several more gas burners will be put in and the Toots will be made as light as could be desired. Almost a Jail Delivery. A desporate effort was made to 11 ay.
