G ild at I p. m., Ill
.4BMTiioi,o Box. From a gentleman
who paid tbo Armstrong Run oil territory a
resent visit we leara tba following in regard
to tbe wells In that vicinity: James well
N'i. 1. Is pumping 25 barrels per day;
James i-oll No. 2 Is claimed to be yielding
Cfl barrels, our however thinks il is. net
J elding n"r Ibat atuou'itj tbe old Jenutnits
80 barrel; Mrldrea Reserve well,.
fi .tviitg 150 barrels pgr day. This well bas
brn tntppdued twice. The first titfftr it
flowed between three aod four hundred bar-
U of oil and then ceased pre wincing en
tirely. , A second toipedo, larg tbun the
flmt, was then exploded, and (be well again
eommeaced to flow, It is claimed, lully one
Jliindred and fifty barrels daily. Our in.
furtnant counted thirty-eight derricks up or
various nugea of compielion. At moat of
tb' so wells di'tlilng baa commenced, and
several are nearly fioisbed. All tbe oil pro
duced Is stored in woodi-n tanks at tbe
well, as tot as one tank ) filled another
one being put up. This Is nudn necessary
at thi-re is ro means uf coinmunicallon with
tim a. V. R. R. across tbe river, tbe pipe
linn only running down to tbe river's edge.
Oil operators in tbat vicinity anticipate
lively times the coming spring. '
The Columbia Oil Company are putting
la big boilers as fast as possible, aod re
tuoviog tbe small ones. One large boiler,
it la calculated, will furnish sufficient steam
to run four wells. Two men will do tbe
same amount of work by tbexuse of tbese
bo;liTt that heretofore required eight. Tbe
saving U tbe enmpany is apparent to all.

Auditors at Franklin, Auditor Jolm Glass

and for that purpose procured a key of tbe
janitor and took good look through tbe
office for papers which should bare been
cancelled, railing in hie purpose, be re

Haven't bad any fun with tbe landlub

I arribed la the cabin fntnd 'em nndrr way
on a Spanish dance. Took my station In

np on tbe starboard tack to let another
craft nass. and came astern on another sail
spoke her, and bore round against tbe sun,
and fell In with another sail in lull cbase.
Passed twenty sail on same course, and
when half across to tbe other shore, dropl
astern fell back couldn't oil, so let go
anchor and hauled up for repairs. Next
time I was drawn into the current by
cowtillioo, but didn't make much headway
shot ahead with Betsy Stark, and sailed
over to the other coast. Took a turn oppo
site fan abreast tw Ice towards other crafts,
and back astern attain moved around to
starboard passed near psrtner's lights, and
made sail to berth. .Third time ran me In
to port to the tune of the tempest, tbe
Yankee tar's favorite. Proceeding along
up coast according to the regular order of
sailing bore ahead again rounded to
then passing adversary yard-arm by yard-
arm, losked asters with tba whole squad

anchored alter a heavy squall.
Boiler explosions area ttribnted to many
causes. First, detective places; second,
puuchiug Instead of drilling tbe rivet holes;
third, imperfect riveting, sod hammering
unevenly: fourth, burning tbe bottoms In
firing; filth, formation of "sand bars," or
crults, within the boiler; sixth, generation,
In some way, of electricity ; seventh, pump
log eold water into an over bested boiler;
eighth, careening of boats; incompetent
firemen, engineers, or masters; oarelessaess
or neglect; Ibe water taking tbe "spheroi
dal form" from over-heating, and then paei
Inj Into sts'am instantaneously; foaming or
tbe water; must frequently, water getting
too low in boiler; and so en ad infinitum.
Few appear to have thought of the tact that
in a considerable number of tba cases re
ported, while water was too low la tbe
boilers, wbikky was too high In tbe engi
neer. It is the testimony ol the Baltimore
American that not aa explosion bas taken
plaCd in or about tbat city within Its (tbe
American's) memory unless it could be said
of tbe engineer: "He is an habitual drink

Kenyon's New Double, Acting Oil Pump
is acknowledged lo lie the best pump now
in use. One ol its leading features is that
it not only prnilitce a conl auous flow of
oil or other fluid, but that It creates and
sustains a constant and powerful suction
by means ot which the seams or velosof tbe
well are In a creat measure cleared ef para
find and other obstructions, aod tbe oil in
tbe veins is drawn tuwanls Ibe well. It
bas been ascertained by actual test that tbe
use of this pump causes a urtvlually Incress
lug flow ol oil. It is well known by oil
operatore that this improvement Is of ureal
value, and one tbat bus been long soiiRht
