It ' God Fp HE BY RUDYARD KIPLING. Hit a man an' help a woman, an' ye can't bo far wrong anyways. Maxirm of -Private Mulvaney. The Inexpressibles gave a ball. They borrowed a seven-pounder from the Gunners, and wreathed it with laurels, and made the dancing floor plate glass, and provided a rapper the like of which had never been eaten before, and set two sentries at the door of the room to hold the trays of programme cards. My friend. Private Mulvaney, was one of the sentries, because he was the tallest man in the regiment. When the dance was fairly started the sentries were released, and Private Mulvaney fled to curry favor with the mess sergeantin charge of the supper. "Whether the mess sergeant pave or Mulvaney look I cannot say. All that I am certain of is that at supper time I found Mnlvaney, with Private Ortherts, two-thirds of a ham, a loaf of bread, half a pate-de-foie-gras, ana two magnums of champagne, sitting on the roof of my car riage. As I came up I heard him saying: "Praise be a danst doesn't come as often as ord'ly room, or by this an' that Orth'ris, me son, I wnd be the dishgrace av the rig'mint instid av the brightest jool in uts crown." "And the Colonel's pet noosince,",said Ortheris, who was a Londoner. "But wot makes you curse your rations? This 'ere zzy stuff's good enough." "Stuff, ve oncivilized pagin! 'Tis cham pagne we're dhrinkin' now. 'Tisn't that I am set ag'm. 'lis this quare stuff wid the little bits av black leather in it. I mis doubt I will be distressin'ly sick wid it in the mornin. Fwhat is ut?" "Goose liver," I said, climbing on the top or the carriage, for I knew that it was better to sit cut with Mulvaney than to dance many dances. "Goose liver is ut?" said Mulvaney. "Faith, I'm thinkin' thim that makes it wnd do betther to cut up the Colonel. He carries a power av liver under his right arrum whin the days are warm an' the nights chilL He wud give thim tons an' tons aT liver. 'lis he sez so. 'I'm all liver to-day,' sez he; an' wid that he ordhers me ten days C B. for as moild a dhrink as iver a good sodger tuk betune his teeth." "That was when 'e wanted for to wash isself in the Fort Ditch," Ortheris ex plained. "Said there was too much beer in the Barrack water butU for a God-fearing man. You was lucky in gittin' orf with wot you did, Mulvanev." "You say so? Now I'm pershuaded I was cruel hard trated, seein' fwhat I've done for the likes av him in the days whin my eyes were wider opin than they are now. Man alive, for the Colonel to whip me on the peg in that way 1 Me that have saved the refutation av a ten times better man than him 1 'Twas ne-farious, an' that manes a power av evil 1" "Never mind the nefarionsness," I said. "Whose reputation did yon save?" "More's the pity, 'twasn't my own, but I tnk more trouble wid it than ar ut was. 'Twas just my way, mesins id fwhat was no business ar mine. Hear now!" He set tled himself at ease on the top of the car riage. "I'll tell you all about ut. Av coorse I will name no names, for there's wan that's an orfcer's lady now that was in ut, and no more will I name places, for a man is thracked by a place." "Eyabl" said Ortheris lazily, "but this is a mixed story wot's comin'." "Wanst upon a time, as the childer books say, I was a recruity." "Was you, though?" said Ortheris, "now that's extryordinary." "Orth'ris," said Mulvaney, "av you opin thim lips ay yours again I will, savin' your presince, sorr, take you by the slack av your trousers an heave you." "I'm mum," said Ortheris. "Wot appened when you was a recruity?" "I was a betther recruity than you iver was or will be, but that's neither here nor there. Thin I became a man, an' a divil of a man 1 was 15 years ago. They called ma Buck Mulvaney in thim days, an', begad, I tnk a woman's eye. I did thatl Ortheris, ye scrub, fwhat are ye sniggerin at? Do , you misdoubt me?" "Devil a doubt!" said Ortheris; "but I've 'eard summat like that belore!" Mulvaney dismissed the impertinence with a lotty wave of his hand, and con tinued: "An the orf cers av the rig'ment I was in in thim days was orf cers gran' men, wid a manneron 'em an' a way wid Tern such as is not mane these days all but wan wan o' the Capt'nr. A bad dhrill, a wake voice, an a limp leg thim three things are the signs av a bad man. You bear that in your bead, Orth'ris, me son. 'An' the Colonel av the rig'mint had a daughter wan av thim lamblike, bleatin', pick-me-np-an'-carry-tiie-or-I'll-die gurls, such as was made for the natural prev av men like the Capt'n. who was iverlastin' payin" court to her, though the Colonel he said time an' over, 'Kape out av the brute's way, my dear.' But he niver had the heart for to send her away from the throuble, bein.' as he was a widower, an' she their wan child." 'Stop a minnte, Mulvaney," said I; "how in the world did you come to know these things?" "How did I come?" said Mulvaney, with a scornful grunt; "bekase I'm tnrned durin' the Qaane's pleasure to a lump av wood, lookin' out straight forninst me, wid a a candelabbrum in my hand, for tou to pick your cards out av, must I not see nor feel?

"So he wint menowderin, an' minaderin', an' blandandhering roun' an' about the Col onel's daughter, an she, poor innocint, lookin at him like a comm'ssariat bullock looks at the company cook.

A little av fwhat I knew the Colonel knew, for he wud have none av him, an' that, I'm thinkin', bv fwhat happened aftherward, the Capt'n knew. "Wan day, bein' mortial idle, or they wud never ha' thried ut, the regiment gave anisbure theatricals orfcers an' orl'cers ladies.

Thin I saw ut come out in the actin' fwhat I never saw before, an that was that be was no gentleman.

X wonder now in thim days that my ears did not grow a yard on me head wid list'nin. But I looked straight forninst me, an' hauled np this an' dragged down tnat, such as was my duty, an' the orfcers' ladigs sez one to another, tnintin' x was out av listen reach: 'Fwhst an obligin' young man is this Corp'ril Mulvaney?' I was a Corp'ril then. I was rejuced aftherward; but no matther, I was a Corp'ril wanst "Well, this 'Sweethearts' business wint on like most amshure theatrical, an' barrin' fwhat I suspicioned, 'twasn't till the dhress rehearsal that I saw for certain that ihim two he the blackguard, an' she no wiser than she should ha' been had put up an evasion." "A what?" said L "E-vasion! Fwhat you lorruds an ladies call au elopement Invasion I calls it, be kase, exceptiu whin 'tis right an' natural an' proper, 'tis wrong an "dhirty to steal a man's wan child not knowin'her own mind. There was a sargint in the comm'ssariat who set my face upon e-vasions. I'll tell you about tnat " "Stick to the bloomin' CaptainsMul vaney," said Ortheris, "comm'ssariat sar gints is low." Mulvaney accepted the emendation and went on: "Now, I knew that the Colonel was no fool, any more than me, for I was hild the smartest man in the rig'mint, an' the Colonel was the best orf'cer commandin' in Asia; so fwhat he said an' I said was a mor tial truth. We knew that the Capt'n was bad, but, for reasons which I have already oblitherated, I knew more than me Colonel. I wud ha' rolled out his face wid the butt av my gun before permittin' av him to steal the gurl. Saints knew av he wud ha' married her, and av he didn't she wud be in great tormint, an' the divil av what you, sorr, call a 'scandal.' But I niver sthruck, niver raised me hand on my shu perior orf cer; an' that was a merricle, now I come to considher it" "Mulvaney, the dawn's risin'," said Ortheris, "an' we're no nearer 'ome than we was at the beginning. Lend me your pouch. Mine's all dust" Mulvanev pitched his pouch across, and filled his pipe afresh. "So the dbress rehearsal came to an end, an', bekaze I was curious, I stayed behind whin the scene shiftin' was ended, an' I shud ha' been in barricks, lyin as flat as a toad under a painted cottage thing. They was talkin' in whispers, an' she was shiv erin' an' gaspin' like a fresh-hukked fish. 'Are you sure yon've got the hang av the manewvers?' sez he, or wurrds to that efleo, as the coort martial sez. 'Sure as death, sez she, 'but I misdoubt 'tis cruel hard on my father.

To explain the theory av the flight, as they say at Muskthry, you must under stand that afther this 'Sweethearts' nonsinse was ended, there was another little bit av a play called 'Couples' some kind av couple or another. The gurl was actin' in this, but not the man. I suspicioned he'd go the sta tion wid the gurl's kit at the end av the first piece. 'Twas the kit that flusthered me, for x Knew lor a capt n to go trapesing about tbe impire with the Lord knew whatav a trnso on his arrnm was nefarious, an' wud be warse than easin the flag, so far as the talk aftherwards wint" " 'Oid on, Mulvaney. Wot's truso?" said Ortheris. "You're an oncivilized man, me son. Whin a gurl's married all her kit an' 'con trements are truso. which manes weddin' portion. An tis the same whin she's run nin' away, even wid the biggest blackguard on the Arrmy List. "So I made my plan av campaign. The Colonel's honsa was a good two miles away. 'Dennis,' sez I to my color sargint, 'av you love me lend me your kyart, for me heart is brnke an' me feet is sore wid tramp in' to and from this foolishness at the Gaff.' An' Dennis lent ut, wid a rampin', stampin' red stallion in the shafts. When they was all settled down to their 'Sweethearts' for the first scene, which was a long wan, I slips outside and into the kyart Mother av Hivin! but I made that horse walk, an' we came into the Colonel's compound as the divil went through Athlone in standin' leps. There was no there excipt the ser vints, an' I wint round to the back an' found the girls avah. " Ye black brazen Jezebel,' Bez I, 'sellin' your masther's honor for five rupees pack up all the Miss Sahib's kit an' look slippyl Capt'n Sahib's order,' sez I; 'going to the station we are,' I sez, an wid that I laid my finger to my nose an' looked the schamin' sinner I was. " 'Bote acchy,' says she; so I knew she was in the business, an' I piled up all the sweet talk I'd iver learnt in the bazars on to this she bullock, an' prayed av her to put all the quick she knew into the thing. While she packed, I stud outside an' sweated, for I was wanted for to shif the second scene. I tell you a yonne gurl's e-vasion manes as much baggage as a rig' mint on the line av march. 'Saint help Dennis's springs,' thinks I, as I bundled the stuff into the thrap, 'for I'll have no mercyl' " 'i'm comin', too,' says the avah. 'No, you don't,' sez I, 'later pechyl lou baito where you are. I'll pecby come an' bring you cart, along with me, you maraudin" niver mind fwhat I called her. "Thin I wint for the Gaff, an' by the special ordber av Providence, for I was doin' a good work you will ondersthand, Dennis' springs hild toight 'Now, whin the Capt'n goes for tnat kit, thinks I. 'he'll be troubled.' At the end av 'Sweethearts' off the Capt'n runs in his kyart to the Colonel's bouse, an' I sits down on the steps and laughs. Wanst an' again I slipped in to see how the little piece was goin', an' whin ut was near endin' I stepped out all among the carriages an' sings out very softly, 'Jungi!' Wid that a carriage began to move, an' I waved to the dhriver. 'Hitheraol' says I, on' he hitheraoed till I jndged he wes at a proper distance, an' thin J tuk him, fair an' square be tune the eyes, all I knew for good or bid, au' be unrupped wid a guggle like the canteen beer engine whin ut's runnin' low. Tain I ran to the kyart and tuk ont all tbe kit and piled it into the carr'ge, tbe sweat runnin' down my face in dhrops. 'Go borne,' says I to the sais; 'you'll find a man close here. Very sick he is. Take him away, au' av you ivir ay wan wurrd about fwbat you've dekkoed I'll marrow you till yonr own wife won't sumjao who you arel' Thin I heard the stampin' av feet at the ind of the play, an' I ran in to let down the cur tain. Whin they all came out the gurl thried to hide herself behind wan av tbe pillars, an' sez 'Jungi'Jn a voice that wudn't ha' scared a hare. I run over to Jungi's carr'ge an tuk up the lousy old horse blanket on the box, wrapped my head an' the rest av me in ut, an' dhrove up to where she was. "Miss Sahib,' sez L 'going to tbe station?

That tikfca "has been owin an' fere-owin' all over the bloomin' country this whole bloom- in' night, an you as mnt-walla as Davey's sow.

" 'Fwhat the devil's tbis?' sez the Capfn's voice in the dhark, ad' I could judge he was in a lather av rage. "Gharri dhriver here, dhrunk, sorr.' sezl; 'I've found his gharri sthrayin' about can tonmiuts, an' now I've found him.' "Oh! sez the Capt'n; 'Iwhat's his name!' I stooped down an pretended to listen. " 'He sez his name's Jungi, sorr, sez L " 'Hould my harse,' sez the Capt'n to his man, an' wid that he gets down wid the whip an' lays into Jungi, just mad with rage an' swearin' like the scutt he was. "I thought, afther a while, he wud kill the man, so I sez: 'Stop, sorr, or you'll murdber him!' That dhrew all his fire on me, an' he cursed me into blazes, an' out again.

"But the Capt'n never said a single wurrd. He choked where he stud, an' thin be went into his thrap widout sayin' good night, an I wint back to barricks."

In "the Fifth Avenu Hotel yesterday, says a New York Star reporter, I met Colonel Andrews, the wealthy Pittsburg man who was the backer of Captain Fads in bis Mississippi jetties undertaking and also in the Tehuantepeo Ship Railway scheme which Bads had projected when he died. The Colonel is President of the Tebuantepec Ship Bailway Company at the present time, and is endeavoring to raise money in Europe to build the road on the plans made by Fads. He said to me that while nothing in the way of interocean communication is now talked about in this country except the Nicaragua Canal, the railway project was very much alive. "It costs a good deal more to build a canal than a ship railway," he continued. "When the canal is built tbe cost of maintaining it is an enormous sum. Especially at the Isthmus of Panama the maintenance cost would be very great What with storms and floods and tidal waves and earthquakes a canal there would be shut up half the time. Where the canal skirts along rock mountains a single little earthquake shock might roll down stone to block it np inside of a minute. Then, too, it is exceedingly dangerous to ruu iron ves sels through a canal with rock sides and bottom. There is no knowing at what mo ment the slip may drift upon rock, and: someiaing muss men give way. xrou suipi cannot be steered' in a narrow channel. They steer themselves and swing about so slowly and ponderously that in such a rock channel they would be in constant danger." "I examined the Suez Canal very care fully," said Colonel Andrews, "and watched the big ships going through it to see how they move. The Suez Canal is a sandy bottom through white sand, as white as Italian marble. The largest pebbles are no bigger than my thumb nail. The sides are also of sand. Through such a country a canal is entirely feasible, as the Suez Canal has been demonstrated to be. But at Pan ama it is altogether different" RESTORING LOST SPEECH. A Wonderful Operation to Remove a Clot of Blood from tbo Brain. Mew York World. To open the skull and penetrate the brain is not so common a surgical feat that it has ceased to be a wonder. Indeed such an operation performed at the Roosevelt Hos pital has attracted the attention of the entire medical profession. The patient, who is a physician, was thrown from bis carriage last fall, striking heavily upon his head. He was renioved to his borne, where, npon examination, no external evidence of fracture of the skull was found. Later paralysis of the entire right side of the body was developed, and with it the inability to speak. After sev eral months the patient was brought to this city. Tbe physicians who examined him concluded that the trouble was due to pressure on the brain, especially on that part of it which governs the faculty of speech, and that this pressure was probably caused by a clot of blood, resulting from the rup ture of a blood vessel within the skull cavity at the time of the injury. After carefully mapping out the head by the most delicate measurements the spot corresponding to the center of speech in the brain was found. Then the surgeon re moved a round disk of bone immediately over the spot indicated, somewhat enlarg ing with cutting forceps the open ing thus made. The outer delicate membrane covering the brain was now brought into view. Beneath it lay a large, dark mass of clotted blood, extending down into the substance of the brain. The clot was carefully removed, when the effect of its pressure was clearly perceived in the im poverished circnlation of the part The wound was then dressed with every precau tion and the patient was permitted to re cover from the operation. The following night, for the first time after his injury, the patient was able to say "Yes" and "No." The condition of his right arm was also improved, and it is be lieved that he will eventually recover.

BLACK GISERS OP EICH GREASE. Arrangements Now Under Way to Pipe and Carry It to the Pacific. A PITTSBDEGEE'S IKTEEESTING STOEI rWBlTTIW FOB THX DISPATCH. The universal interest now felt in Wyom ing as she knocks' at the door of our national capitol for admittance as one of the "sister States brings vividly to mind the pleasant journey I made to that interesting country last October. I left Pittsburg September 21 on a harvest excursion to Rawlins, Wyo. T., on the Union Pacific Bailroad, 1,600 miles wes of Pittsburg, at an elevation of 6,700 feet above tide water. Thus far the trip af forded great pleasnre, but the rest of the journey held no vision of luxurious comfort, for at 8 A. M. on Monday, September 30, 1, with a solitary companion, embarked in a mountain stage, or rather, a covered spring wagon of very limited capacity, and began a trip of 130 miles, continuous staging, which occupied that day, all of Monday night and until 11 A. M. Tuesday. The daylight trip was enjoyable from its novelty and varied scenery. A herd of antelopes was occasionally seen in the dis tance, as in beautiful and speedy graceful ness they fled from sight Some badgers and a few cayotes or wolves and other wild animals were seen, including many flocks of sage hens and numberless prairie dogs. These latter were about the size of half grown kittens. They sat upright with pro voking impudence within a few feet of our vehicle, and afforded rare sport for us, as with perfect impunity they listened to mr pistol balls whistle near them. They seemed to know they were in no danger. But few birds were seen, and we frequently traveled 10 or 15 miles without seeing a human being. SIGNS OP CrVH.IZATION, however, (old fruit cans and empty bottles) were constant reminders of campers' sta tions. Occasionally the prairie schooner, a large covered wagon, or several fastened to gether, drawn by 15 or 20 horses or mules, passed us on its way between Landor and Bawlins. It is the only means there of transporting freight, which consequently makes the articles of civilization high priced. Carbon oil, retailing at 60 cents at the oil wells, and vinegar even higher. Fruit also is brought in tbis war trom Utah. Visions of highwaymen had visited me while at home, but I would take ray chances for safety in that country since being there, with a toothpick for a weapon, rather than on some of Pittsburg's streets witii an ar senal of firearms. I noticed children and ladies on horseback alone, seemingly ten miles from any settlement, the Indian even not being considered an element of danger. The Indians do not seem to have gained much by contact with the whites, having absorbed many of tbe evil practices and lit tle of tbe good of the white race. The wondrous clearness of Wyoming's atmosphere is a constant study and delight. Mountains I would Judge in Pennsylvania were three or four miles distant proved there to be 10 or 15, and one I thought not more than 15 or 20, 1 was assured was more than 100 miles away. I could not hear persons speak as distinctly as at home, and was short of breath on a mountain climb. At last I remembered the cause, the rarified atmosphere of 7,000 or 8,000 feet elevation. The long stage drive was through clonds of dust, there having been no rain since the preceding June. WYOMING'S OIL "WELLS. The chief point of interest, however, was the oil deposit of Wyoming. We drove to Dallas, ten miles southeast of Landor, near which the wonderful wells are situated, and bad a cordial handshake from Hon. Mike Murphy, who has charge of the wells and property of the oil company, and from him as well as A. A. Cyphert, who drilled the three wells in 1885; W. T. Anderson, an old and well known Pennsylvania oil driller; Captain Nickerson, Territorial Becorder; Mr. J. A. McAvoy, County Becorder; not forgetting Prof. Bicketts, of Cheyenne, Ter ritorial Geologist, all of whom gave me many points of vital interest Prof. Bicketts is an enthusiast on the mineral resources of Wyoming, as well as the agricultural, where irrigation is possible, for her land is rich, but dry, producing under irrigation several large crops of alfafa annually. Now I will try 8nd tellwhat I found and what my views of Wyoming oil future are: First, geographically speaking, the Sho shone wells are near the center of Wyoming Territorr, about 77 miles to nearest point on Union racihe, Vi or 14 miles south or Lan dor, and, perhaps, 110 bv stage to Bawlins on Union Pacific. The Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Biver Bailroad is projected, and now reaches Casper, 110 miles east of Dallas, and will, the coming year, reach a point only a few miles south of Dallas, on its way to connect with the Central Pacific at Ogden, Utah, which is now, I am credi bly informed, grading to reach it, thus com pleting another trunk line from east to west, and which will give every facility for ship ping oil to the Pacific By consulting a map of Wyoming one can readily see the route between Ogden at the west and Casper on the east, the road following the course of the North Platte and Sweet Water rivers and by a short branch road, or pipe line, will give easy facilities for shipping the oil west, its legitimate market, as'the Pacific slope has but little oil and Pennsylvania supplies the east Pipe lines are even now projected to Denver and Omaha, but my impression is that tidewater on the Pacific can more readily be reached by a Northwest line, affording the best market for this oil. WELLS CRITICALLY EXAMINED. The points first to be assured of are: Does oil in large quantities exist in Wyoming? I feel assured it does. Is it of good quality? Yes. But, for further information, will re hearse my experience. As I said before, through the courtesy of the Hon. Mr. Mur phy, who is the guardian of those wells, every facility was afforded me to critically examine them and their oil springs. The approach from the west by road presented a rare and beantiful sight. The valley is about 1,000 feet wide, and from the eastern side the rocks rise abruptly for perhaps 100 feet, then less abruptly for several hundred feet more, then gradually sloping upward, attaining a height of perhaps 500 feet one mile from tbe wells. The rocks are in well-defined layers of bright red and white sandstone, above which is a fine layer of gypsum, and above that the Dakota and Larime (coal) formations. The rocss below the surface can only be surmised, the sand pump bringing a slash to the surface judged by the drillers to be the same kind of rock as shown in the hill above. The quality or thickness of the sand rock from whence the oil, is supposed to come is not known, as it was only pene trated a few inches in the deepest of the wells.(745 feet), the great flow of oil and gas driving the drillers from the wells. The rocts on the west side of the stream appear to be more broken and at an angle aj this point, though lower down the stream they are reversed, the abrupt ones there being ou the east side. My impression is that-in the upheaval the pressure from below cracked the rocks for many miles in a line north west "from this point, through which the Popoagie flows, and left A. TENT FOE THE OIL in the sand rock, in the very apex of which the original oil springs found vent, the sides of the upheaval in places being nearly per pendicular, xseing eariy on tne ground durine the Oil Creek. Pa., and West Virginia oil discoveries, I was much re minded ol tnem as a iuukcu over tne nill aides and saw the three wells and the two lakes of oil, aggregating at least 900 feet long by 20 feet broad, and I should judge from a few inches deep in places to five or six feet mothers. The river at this point formerly wound I W I THURSDAY,. JUNE -26, around tbe alluvial bottom ground in ser pentine form, but by cutting channels at the bends and damming up tbo ends of the old channels at four places two fine lakes were made which are estimated to contain at least 15,000 barrels of oil. This site was selected by Dr. Graff (because of the oil springs), through whose energy and perse verance the wells were drilled. The earth is so saturated with oil that by digging a bole eight or ten feet deep anywhere in the flat bottom, where tbe wells now stand, the oil would soon rise, filling the hole to a depth of several feet A number of these holes are now cribbed with logs, from which the neighborhood supply themselves 'free with all oil needed for "threshers, mowen and other machinery. A large bucket dipper is left at one of these holes for that purpose. I had, some months prior, procured oil said to be from these wells, but some friends were credulous, therefore I determined to procure some that I could vouch for, so friend Murphy took his wrench and turned the valve on well No. 1. THE BLACK GEVSEB responded with hearty good will, spurting the oil and gas with the force of a stream from the nozzle of a fire engine hose. After satisfying my curiosity thoroughly I had him turn it down so I conld approach close and collect some of tbe flowing oil in a bucket He insisted on collecting it for me, saying I wonld get my clothes soiled from the splashing oil. I told him I would risk that, as I was determined to catch and bottle the oil personally from this well, so I could assure my friends on my return that I captured that very oil myselt as it flowed from the well. So I did with all tbe wells, and brought a bottle from each with me. The wells responded at a lively rate as the wrench was applied, but No. 3 (the deepest. 745) sewned to be the most vigorous with gas pressure. After the valve ot No. 1 was closed a hole in the ground near it filled with oil from below and overflowed, the surface bubbling and throwing the,oil in every direction for many feet This, it is said, continues for a day or two after the valve has been opened. These three wells, respectively 133, 330 and 745 feet, were drilled in 1885, and the strainers at the bottom of the pipe have never been touched bince. The strainer is a crnde affair, and was made by cutting many small slits in the pipe with a cold chisel. The wonder to me is that these small orifices have not filled up with parafine, bnt tbe answer is given by an expert that there is little or no parafine in this oil, but a sub stance resembling plumbago, thus producing its wonderful lubricating properties, of which I have satisfied myself by use on machinery in my Dexter Spring factory and by the people of Landor on mill and agri cultural machinery, and as has also been done with fine results on the Union Pacific Bailroad engines. This oil, found at such a moderate depth, is undoubtedly from an upper oil land, and doubtless when deeper wells are drilled the sand rock bearing oils of lighter gravity will be found. DIMENSIONS OF THE OIL BELT. As shown by the oil springs farther north on this same belt in the Shoshone reserva tion, a sample of this oil I have in mv pos session. It is almost identical with Smith Ferry (O.) oil in gravity, color and odor. This Dallas oil has a peculiar odor unlike any crude oil I have smelled, which is rather pleasing than otherwise. It is also much thicker and flows less rapidly than other natural oils, which is much in its frvor as a lubricant As to the size of the oil field, nothing but the drill can determine the strata, which, varying in geographical height, shows along this Popoagie river and its tributary, Twin creek, for over 30 miles, psssibly farther, running into Indian reserv ation. My observation of it was confined to about 20 miles. As to its breadth no one can tell. To the east the hills rise abruptly, then sloping gradually hieher lor many miles to tbe east. To the west is a ridge averaging perhaps 206 feet high, having half a mile base, beyond which farther west is a plain 4u to 100 feet above the level of the Popoagie, which rises gradually to the mountains eight or ten miles farther west Under this plain the strata seems unbroken, but the depth of the oil rock below the surface only the drill can determine. The rocks in this ridge along the river are frequently in an almost vertical position, through which are ireqnent breaks or canyons, allowing the small streams from the plain to find exit to the river. Through one of these the Popoa gie itself enters the Anticlinal at its junc tion with Twin creek, which hrd followed the Anticlinal from its source to the south, which there takes the general direction of the Popaogie river northwest. Should the Anticlinal to the west prove shallow the wells would not be deep, as the surface of the plain is so near a level of the river, and doubtless a great oil field would result One new oil well is perhaps COO feet deep, the rock is found to be quite soft, as during my visit of an hour at the well the drill dropped at least 12 inches. Two other wells are pro jected. Should oil in any of these be found in large quantities pipelines or good rail road facilities could speedily be furnished, one or more pipe lines being now organized in anticipation of such a result A PEOMISING FIELD. 1 would summarize by stating that to me the field is very promising, indeed, and I see great possibilities for it. I think its lo cation well to the west of the continent, where oil is scarce, much in its favo& Its location among the Bocky Mountains is only temporarily against it, but tbe rail roads surveyed to or jiear it will give as good service as formerly the Erie Bailroad did to the Pennsylvania oil fields, and if great quantities ot oil should be found pipe lines would be run to the Pacific rivers or tidewater. But little pumping would be re quired to reach the rivers to the west, from which the descent of 8,000 to 10.000 feet to Pacific tidewaters would give good flow to the oil, I have reason to know that at least one line of railroad will be built to the near vicinity of the wells the coming summer, and others in the near future. As to the quality of the oil, it is, I know, valuable from tests already mentioned. But as a matter of course it should be refined, which would take the lighter particles for illuminating oil, leaving the heavier for lnbricating, which, in my estimation, would make a very high quality lubricant This Dallas, Landor, Graff or Shoshone oil field (as it is known by each of these names), is but one of several localities in which oil springs are found in Wyoming.. This is the only one of which I have made personal inspection. Several of the others I know give promise of great results. EICH MINERAL DEPOSITS. Oil is not the only mineral of Wyoming, in fact it is but a part of a great undevel oped mineral wealth that is attracting wide spread attention and interesting capital from abroad as well as at home. Prof. Bicketts and others of my friends tell me of their personal knowledee of vast coal fields of superior quality, of rich iron, gold, silver, asbesto, tin, lead, soda and numberless other rich minerals, which only need the enterprise of our people and building of railroad, to develop into a wonderful wealth. The finding of rich gas and oil deposits will give a great impetus to these develop ments. . Wyoming is a very interesting country for the geologist, capitalist and tourist as its hills and valleys are full of valuable minerals, and its bracing and delightful atmosphere is invigorating to the invalid, especially to those of weak lungs, and it is a paradise to the angler and huntsman. For real enjoyment a trip in September or October to the far West affords a delichtfnl rest, and if by harvest excursion ticket, one at moderate cost I hope in June to renew my acquaintance with the hospitable people of Wyoming, which will doubtless be a Slate. I shall be pleased to give any information to the tourist, home-seeker, oil or mineral pros pector that I may have acquired in my short but delightful visit. W. W. Geiee. Hulton, Pa., June 23.

Elephants Famish the Finest Sport, hat Thej are Tery Hard to Kill. A PAEADISE FOB MEREI SPOETSMEK Eoyal Phelps Carrol, of New Tork, who has been hunting in Africa, has naturally brought back with him hosts of good stories of big game, which he tells, upon occasions, with the unostentatious zest of the true sportsman. Contrary to the habit of most African hunters, he neither deals in the marvellous nor the heroic "As for lions," said he, a few days ago, to a, Sun reporter, "you don't run across them every day, you know, even though the Ma sai consider them sacred and never kill them. They are plentiful enough far too plentiful for tbe good of the edible game of the land, and even for the safety of the peo ple. But they keep very quiet in their jungle strongholds, and it is only by chance you now and then run across them. If I had been after lions particularly, no doubt the natives, who know their ways, could have found me their hiding places. As it was I was in Africa for elephants, and did not look for more lions than I met by the way. Lions were all round camp, however, every night. We could not see them', for they kept well outside the line of camp fires, but we constantly heard them. They made a most peculiar noise. The lion's cry is not the thunderous roar that people think. Imagine a noise resembling a grunt, and yet with something ot the (dignity of a roar, and you will about have it- With daylight, however, the lions disappear. TTNNEBVED BT A BOTAL BEAST. ' "Once I had such a chance as very seldom offers to a sportsman, and I lost it because of an attack of gennine buck fever lion lever I suppose you might term it in this case. I might have bagged five lions on the spot if it hadn't been tor that I was bcat ine through heavy jungle, my biggest En glish express on mv arm, and some of my people behind carrying other loaded weap ons to hand me in case of need. I was after an elephant. I broke through a mass of ex ceptionally heavy brush, and suddenly found myself on the verge of a precipice. "While I was studying the lay of the land a huge tawuv head with flowing mane hopped up out of the grass opposite, and the back of a great lion became visible. Be did not see me. At the same time I caught sight of a huge lioness, and presently made out three nearly grown cubs. They were all in the grass, all in short range and all easy prey. I had no excuse whatever for fear, because not one of them, if enraged, could leap that chasm in the teeth of a rifle, and I had plenty of good rifles close by in the hands of my men. But the unexpected chance upset m. I became most unrea sonably excited. I fired at the big one with my big express, and, without any possible excuse for it, missed him. My men passed me up rifle alter rifle, but I got more rattled at every miss, and the lions all got away. It was a most disagreeable, not to say disgust ing, experience. ELEPHANTS THE BEST GAME. "The elephant is, of course, the finest game in the world. I have shot elephants before, on a bunt through South Africa, but x met witn wnoiiy new experiences m the East The South African hunting grounds are an open country, and you pursue your game on horseback. You can follow him where you will, even at times into his secret hiding places; pursue hiinwhen he files and escape when he charges, xonr horse does all that for you, and you have only to watch your chances and manage your rifle. But in the wilds of the East coast, in a land choked with brush and jungle, covered with huge forests and furrowed with ravines and water courses, you hunt your elephant afoot, and must shoot to the point, or he willescape you in the thick recesses of the wilderness, which be, with his enormous strength and great weight, can penetrate on the run, while the hunter is hindered at every step. "In addition to tbe difficulties of this sort of shooting and its attendant probabilities of losing your game, this sport is rendered more uncertain because the elephant of East Africa offers you only three vulnerable shots. You have no fatal shot whatever from dead in front. You can, from a stand point more or less to one side, penetrate his temple near his eye and kill him; or you can, from a good side position, hit him at a point on his body just back of the flap of his ear and enter his lungs; or else, from be hind, you can sentl your bullet into his slop ing back to one side of his tail, where it will glance along his spine and down into tha lungs. But these are the only shots from which you can hope for success. VEST HAED TO KILL. "I put nearly 100 shots into one elephant before I brought him down. He did not offer me a fatal shot, and you can't travel round much in that thicket to secure favor able positions for yourself. In one case I exhausted all my English expresses and all mv Winchesters, and had to take to the rifles which my men were armed with. I only killed two elephants by single shots. One of these, a 12-looter, I brought down by a single bullet in the temple. The other one I shot behind the flap of the ear, pene trating his lungs and dropping him on his knees. "There is no question about the fact that the Masai country is the finest shooting ground in the world. Enormous tracts of It have never echoed to the sound of rifle or gun. But not only that. The sole inhab itants of the land, the warlike and ferocious Masai, never kill the beasts that literally fill the country. It is true that the Masai" are wholly a flesh-eating people, but they kill only domestio cattle. They do not raise them much themselves, either, but constantly make raids upon neighboring people, otten hundreds of miles away, and capture and bring home enormous droves. When they kill their cattle the Masai love to put their mouths to the wounds made in the animals' necks, and gorge themselves with the hot blood. TBESH MEAT PLENTIFUL. "But they never kill game. The ele phant roams at will near their towns. The lion preys upon their people. The rhinoce roses take possession of their villages in droves and rub their sides against the shanties unharmed. Antelopes and zebras in enormous numbers live seemingly only to provide food for the lions, and giraffes scour the occasional plains and feed in the thickets in countless herds. These beasts have not learned to tear man. The rhinoce ros charges at him in pure sport, the lion leaps upon bim as his prey, and the ele phant notices him only to attack him when enraged. You can imagine what that land is irom the fact that the Masai have held it for such ages that they have worn trails eight inches deep in the solid rock with their naked feet, and during all that time have never intentionally killed a native beast If I saw one zebra there I saw 10, 000, and the antelopes, elands, giraffes, rhinoceroses and other game were absolutely beyond estimate. I, unaided, could have made slaughter that would .Lave brought shame on my entire party of 200. But, be side the elephants and lions, we killed only for food."

MOST ' Important Announcement New Story BT William Black. rY A NEWSPAPER NOVEL, DEALING WITH COTEMFORARY IJFa, NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED. Specially Secured for the Columns of THE DISPATCH. We have pleasnre In announcing to ocr read, era that we have secured for publication' in the columns of Tub Dispatch a new work of no. tion by Mr. William Black an author univer sally admired his forthcoming work being, moreover, specially written for newspaper pub lication and designed to interest all classes. Tbo story is altogether new and unpublished, and as It deals to some extent with present day events and characters, its publication from week to week will arouse the utmost attention. William Black's New Novel will be entitled "STATO FAST, CRHG-R0YSTW," And tbe story it will tell will be as unconven tional as tbe-title of tbe work. "Stand Fast Craig-Royston,"is the family motto of one of the characters introduced by the author and a very Interesting; original and breezy sort of In dividual he proves himself to be. Bnt his great est claim upon the reader lies in the fact that his daughter is the heroine ot the story. Will iam Black's heroines are among tbe most de lightful creations in our literature, and tha heroine of the present story is equal to the best o ber cnarmme predecessors. "Stand Fast Craig-Royston," whatever else it may be, is first and foremost A Love Story, Introducing Scotch Poetry and Saxon Frost, American Girls and English Aristo crats, Theoretical Socialism and Practical Politics. A STORY TO BE READ. THE AUTHOR OI "STAM FAST, CRAIG-SOYSTOtf Mr. William Black. Mr. WILLIAM BLACK, tho author of -A Princess of Thule." Sunrise," eta. was born a little short of 50 years ago. in Glasgow. His youthful ambition was to become an artist hut eventually be drifted into journalism, of which be may still be considered a distinguished and successfnl representative. He located himself in London in 186 L As a newspaper representa tive he went through tbe Prussia-Austrian War of 18G6. "In Silk Attire." produced in 1869, dealt with peasant life in the Black Forest "Kil meny,""The Monarch of Mincing Lane" and "A Daughter of H etb," followed in the order named and ran through many editions. Next came "The Strange Adventures of a Phaeton,"wblch literally described a driving excursion tbe author made from London to Edinburgh, with a thread of fiction interwoven. It Is said that a good many people. Americans chiefly, bare adopted tbis plan of exploring tbe English counties, and have taken these "Adventures" as a sort of guide book. A glance through tha author's list of published works reveals that his later stories appeared in the following sequence: "APrincess of Thule," "The Maid of Eileen," "Three Feathers." "Madcap Violet" "Green Pastures and Piccadilly," "Macleod of Dare," "White Wings: A Yachting Romance," "Sun rise: A Story of tha Times." "That Beantiful Wretch." "Sbandon Bells," "White Heather." "The Wise Women of Iverness," "Sablna. Zembra," "In Far Locbaber." "STAID FAST, CRAIG-ROYSTON," Wil 1 prove to be as clever and as successful as any of tha works preceding it from ths same gifted source. POINT3 OF THE NEW SHB1AZ, Publication of which begins in The Dispatch SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1890. The heroine Is a young American girl of Scotch descent who has traveled much and who has a charming simplicity and independence of character. The story is f nil of interest and tha move ment is steady and continuous. The perusal of the opening chapters gives promise of soma surprising situations In the near future. Tha bero is a young fellow of means, with brilliant prospects In tbe political world; bis father Is a millionaire with socialistic theories. Tbe love story which the author has to tell Is of a most original kind, and requires for its elaboration several Interesting personages. In cluding a family of Americans and several . fashionable notabilities In London. The political characters Introduced can al most be recognized as counterparts of people now living. We have copioas references in th month of an old Scotch poet to tha claims of Scotland in song and story, and as a back ground. we bave fasblonable life In Mayfalr, at Henley and Brighton, labor and co-operative congresses in various parts of the country, and a characteristic leader of the masses in a North Country man named Ogden. "Stand Fast Cralg-Royston" possesses a powerful and exciting Dlot and will appeal strongly to all classes of readers. William Black's LATESX.
