On Saturda'y last a drilling well owned
by John Armstrong and otbeis, on the Asn-
baugb farm near tbo Hulings well, took
Ore, occasioned by aa extensive flow of gas
and oil from tbe third sand. The derrick
and other fixtures were destroyed. Rbody
Messer and a man by the nameot 'White
bill, driltarj.nd tooldresser employed on tbe
well at the time, were severely burned. It
la hoped and believed, however, that their
Injuries will not prove fatal. This well
is owned by Armstrong, Ira Fuller and
John Heath, and promises to be a big one.
The rig was rebuilt and everything ready
to drill on the following Tuesday.
rtiiw..'. t..i
Had the owners of th. Armstrong well
pnrebased one of Gretter's Oil and Gas
Controllers, tbe two workmen would not
have been burned, and almost $2,000 worth
of property would have been saved. Sinee
tbe fire tbe owners of tbe well have pur'
chased one of these valuable machines, not
earing to run tbe risk of another scoreblug.

Concerning tbe Lake Superior gold dis
coveries, the Detroit Post bas a letter from
Captain Frue, dated at the Silver Islet
M.ioe, February 19, representing that great
excitement tben existed In consequence of
the reoeot develbpments in that vicinity.
Tbe place at which gold hs. been fonnd is
called J.ckfiab Lake, and Is seventy-five
miles north of Thunder Bar, not far from
tbe road constructed by tbe Canadian gov
ernment In 1170, when sending troops to
Manitoba. Captain Frue bad just returned
from a personal inspection of tbe vein, and
reports it to be of the greatest richness ttt
surpassing any similar discovery on tbls
continent. Tbe vein is of almost pure na
tive gold, though silver is fonnd mixed with
It In some places. Specimens which Cap
tain Frue picked up be said would yield
gold at the rate or $20,000 to the ton. Tbe
location was owned and tbe gold was found
by some New York parties. A recent letter
from Lake Superior received hy a Detroit
business man represento- tb.t tbe greatest
excitement was prevailing on account of tbe
reports from tbe North Shore. All' tbe sur
veyors wbo could be found had been engag
ed to proceed to tba vicinity of Jackfish
Lake, and prospeotiog for gold and silver
was likely to become tbe chief occupation of
tbe inhabitants.

At . meeting of tbe Petroleum Producers'
Association, held at Oil City on Wednes
day, tbe 13th Inst., tbe following preamble,
.od resolutions were passed, and tbe Secre
tary instructed to have the same published
in tbe daily papers:
Whereas, Certain representatives of tbe
Southern Improvement Company liave sol
icited an appointment of a committee or
producers representing that interest, to con.
fer with them: therefore,
Resolved, That believing that tbe prin
ciples involved in tbe organization of tbe
Southern Improvement Company with such
chartered rights, point to a monopoly, and
that It is Intended to control trie produoing
and manufacturing of petroleum by foreign
capital, to tba detriment and destruction
or home industries and tree capital, we
therefore refuse, under any clroumst.nces,
to consider any compromise which on the
face ot it I. unjust in principle and wrong
in practice. Wishing, however, to be en
lightened. If In error, and If the Southern
Improvement Company claim tbey are not
a monopoly, Ibis Aesoeiatioo would ask to
b) supplied with the following information:
1- Tre charters 'Rider which the South
ern Improvement Company was organized
2 The articles of association.
3. The officers-name.
4. Tbe contracts with the railroad com
pan leg, and wbo signed it. '
5. Tbe general pan of management;

Whereas, Tbe people of the Oil Regiotn,
In mas- meeting assembled, did retolve
that, as OB'i step toward tbe defeat of Ike
schemes and purposes of tbe Southern la.
pravement Company, no wells shall be
begun for the term of sixty daj;:and.
Whereas, It was further resolved at said
meeting that, in pursuance or tbe Qsaid
object, all producing wells .ball be shut
down on Sundays; therelore,
Resolved, That tbls Association do here
by endorse tbe action of those meetings,
id do urge upon producer generally tbe
laitbful observsoce or tbeir agreement to
these measures which are not only eminently
calculated at tbe present crisis to strengthen
our position, bnt in view of the surplus pro
ductioo, ss shown by our monthly report
.re also demanded by common business
prudence and sagacity.
Resolved, That the completion of wells
now drilling be delayed .by discan tinning
night work, and by every other practicable
means which may be suggeated by the clr.
