The present population Is put a 1,206

always believed that Pilbole would yet be
come a city, and it looks as IT our belief
would be verified;' Quite a number or now
wells are being put down in that vicinity,
and the prospect is laliTora revival of the
oil business. This fact, together with the
striking or one or two new wells recently, is
probibly the reason of the largo increase of
population. .' ' -

Dtlzell firm still continues at about the
' hi me figure as wjbas, first struck, the present
"yield being neatly 300 barrels per day. The

only one lumber yard, but at tho. same time

a man that ' thoroughly understands' (he
wants of nil in tbjit line, and ; ki'i ps bis
yard, well stocked with lumber of all kinds,

the time when Mr. L. M. Sterubiirg's' stocli
