Maramcc’s Gas Well
Notes of Stati-wide Intenst
Quite a number of Maramec’*
citizens celcbratec with Yale people
Peter Chase showed up again
bright ami early Monday morning,
to aak the farmei* for another exten-
sion of time on the block of oil leas-
es north of town, ami after taking
such pains to have them notified
thiongh the Pawnee papers that lie
wouldn’t give 10 cents lor the lot.
Some propie iiHxe vet) ciiangtnhk>
minds.
Considerable excitment was caused
at Maramec Sunday evening and on
Monday hy the repoit that gas had
been struck in the oil well on the
Thomas farm one ha'f mile east
and south of town. The well was
1804 feet deep, and a sand supposed
to he the Cleve<aud, was barely
touched by the drill when a pressure
of gas was encountered sufficient to
force 1500 feet of salt w ater several
feet above the casing head. 'The
tool* were taken out and the fires
put out and the well capped to pre-
vent it drilling its self in, and on
Monday the boiler was moved
several hundred feet away and all
woik on the well was stopped until
it could he cased wind: was com-
pleted Wednesday evening.' Drilling
was commenced again Thursday
morning, when it was found that
they had encountered a stray sand
three feet i.t thickness carrying from
two to five million feet of gas. The
drill after passing through the sand
struck a veiy hard limestone which
is supposed to he the cap to the
Cleveland sand. Although we are
some disapointed, still we believe
the psospects aie bright lor a go al
well in a tew days, as this showing
• if g.is is pirwf that oil is ue r, amt
several oil men have expressed their
opinion that on such a snowing of
gas, that if oil i, not found in the
Cleveland sand, *t is sure to be in
the next one.
Fire destroyed property valued at
$40,000 at Texhoir.a Okla ., Tues-
day night, and for a time endanger-
ed the lives of six people.
Another new railroad is to be
built from Eufaula Okla., to Heury-
etta, and will be financed by-
business men of the latter plnce
tne
The weight limit of parcel post
packages will be raised to 20 pound*
August 15th. The parcel post map*
will he abandoned, the rates will he
lowered and a general reduction of
all parcel post rates is contemplated.
An exchange says that a Wyom
ing man went crazy after mowing
the lawn and spliting a half cord of
wood. There must have been some-
thing wrong with him in the fir-t
place or he wouldn’t have hutted
into his wife’s work.
Return* of the special election
held in Oklahoma Tuesday oil the
five stale questions continue to be
favorable and it is almost cotain
that every question is adopted.

A Gentle Reminder
E.u^n
See Ham, about your Eyes.
The editor of this puper always
did dislike to dun any pet son f«»i
what was due him for services 01
articles furnished. \\ e have always
f,lt it a*pleasure to pay <1111 obliga-
tions and make ou • piomi-e; go. d.
and 1 s wc are hearing some com-
plaint about Hie im gitlarirbe* ol
the paper, we will nakw an cxplai -
ation of the Cause. We -tailed out
in the business xx ith very little capital
and verv much help and confidence
of some very good freinds. On
account of the hard limes merchants
find or think they cannot afford to
ulvertise, and not being able to
collect our bills for subscription and
other serxices, we havent been able
on several occasions to get out our
tegular and full number of papers,
and such times have been very em
harrassing to us, and to those who
have paid their subscription xve will
extend their time to make up for
all they miss, and reqnest all out
delinquent subscribers to make an
effort to help us out by paving up
by the first of the month. The bill
is a small amount.to yon but sever-
al bundled such accounts due us
makes it very hard to keep things
going, and would put.us in cond.tion
to pay our bill*, give you a better
paper nnd make possible for to get
it out regular.
