It would wn as though the much desired end Is about to be attained, and oil In paying quantities louna "upon this line if It lakes ail summer. i ois ana other Indications' cause me to , determine to desert fbe Parker Held tor I lime at least and remain here. As new de vtlopments ocour, I will constitute mm. ir your correspondent and furnish you with an item ror your paper . occasionally. Oil Jimr Journal, The above, we suspect la about what al the old Oil Creek operators would like to do. There does not appear to be much fan In sinking a deep well lo tbe down river re gion at a cost of $6,000 to $8,000, and run nlng tbe chaoc or a dry bsie at that. The ooirespondest Is also correct In regard to tbe new territory in this vicinity. No . doubt exists in tbe minds or oil men but that a vast extent or good oil territory lies undeveloped io tbe vicinity of Petroleum Centre, and we look for a revival or tbe "good old days' of oildom before loog. There If territorial dispute between tbe Ontario Government. Negotiations bave been going on to settle definitely tbe northern and western boundary of Ontario and It bas just been discovered that the Dominion Government has assumed terri torial control of a large Iraot hitherto con sidered part of Ontario. The difference lies In the eonstruotloa of tbe "Quebeo Act" passed In the lour tees th year of the reign o George III, by wbleh tbe western limit or Canada was made the course of tbe Hissis ippl river northward from its junotion with the Ohio river to the Hudson Bay Com I noys Territory. The Ontario Government claims, what bas not until now been dis puted, that tbe .boundary lino should be produced northward from tbe source of lb Mississippi, whilst the Dominion Govern ment Insist that It should be produced due north fro tbe junotion with the Ohio In tbe first case It puts tbe western bound ryot Ontario west oltbs Lakeoi the Woods, whilst In the second It puts through Thunder Bay, and severs Irom Ontario much valuable territory, including Jarvla Island, lately told for $150,000l and other mining region at Tnunder Bay, tbe mineral wealth of Lake Shebaodowan, and a vast country of great but undeveloped resources. Tbe Ontario mind li sadly torn no bv tta discovery, but the question what is lo be none aoout u onus no satisraotory solution, JJT be Titusville Courier of yesterday con tained an Item o( the burning of lbs Spear well, on Grass Plat, on Friday last, by which two of tbe workmen were fatally burned." A gentleman who oame Irom there yesterday, inform) us that one of th unfor tunates died from tbe effects of bis injuries on Saturday, and tbe other, one. on Suudsy. He did not learn their names. W also, learn that a large boarding bouse, luoated on Grass Flats, was burned V the ground, Sunday afternoon. The result of tbe Kupublioan iman election is uoi Known as yet. Police Nkws. D. W. Slefort, a resident of Rousevflle, landed in tbe Centra a day or two since, having bis "keg pretty wel filled with benzine," aid bis pockets lined with greenbacks." After partaking of tbe "good old stuff," in several daces wbere It is dispensed, be proceeded to the bouse of on Minnie Tarr, a fair but frail woman, and became exceedingly convivial wltb the fair Minnie and another woman known a Lou Henry, keeping up the festivities light, Xealerdsy be made affidavit belore Justice Reynolds, to tbe effect tbat tbe wo men bad robbed bim of bis money. War rants were issued and tbe females arrested. and a hearing resulted in their being held In the sum of $100 each to appear at Franklin to answer. The bail was furnisbud and tbe women released. Siefort entered bail on his own recognizance in tbe sum or $100 to appear as a witness. It Is rjrouer to state that tbe women utterly deny any com plicity io tbe robbery, claiming that tbe Rouseviile man, while Intoxicated, spent his money elsewhere. Tbe whole affair prove the truth ol tbe old adage "A fool and hi money are soon parted." Fanny Morgan, alias "Red Headed Fan.'' a trail sister residing in Oil City, came to Petroleum Centre, yesterday afternoon, with tbe evident intention of having "some fun with tbe boys." Several "bowls" ol the "good old luff" caused a wondrous transformation in this Amaxooian female, and in frantlo tone she proclaimed berselr not only an advocate of womau's right by way of talking, but also ready and willing to "punch tbe heads'' of Its opponent. Upon being arrested by officer Atwell, she refused to proceed to tbe lock-up, aud as a means ot defense, squatted" on tbe aide walk and defied the entire male gender to arrest her. Officer Atwell procured rein forcements and after some trouble oaptured the vixenish Fan, and she refusing to walk was oarried to the lock up by four men, de posited gently and tenderly Uerein, and left to sober off. Late In tbe night, npoo promising faithfully not to drink any more, and to behave borself, ibe was released and lert for Oil City. Tbat was the time tbat woman's rights didn't gain victory, altho' allied with and aided by King Aleobol. Walt.

Tbe other wells near the borough ar about ready to commence drilling. Tbe James well, on Blyson Run Is down over 1,000 feet, and on Tuesday a rock was struck which Is supposed to be the third and. V will doubtless bave some drflnke news from It next week. Tbe Troti Iner well and Kurlz well, In Sa em township, proved unsuccessful. The Curtis and Weeter wells in that locality, are still drilling. Tbe success of tbe wells on tbe Neely farm Turkey Run, Slicker farm, and along both sides ot tbe Clarion river, attract attention and bring derelepment up in tbat direction from Petersburg. Tbe production of tbe Parker's Landing oil field, which includes Foxburg and St. Petersburg, is now over S,000 barrels a day being about one-third of the entire pro duction of oil in the State. Tbe mouth ol tbe Clarion bas proved a great oil basin- Clarion Democrat. Tb Indian Spring well. Lambing Broth ers some time ago obtained a lease ol'lify acres from W. C. .Campbell, about three fontbs of a mile weal of Fairview. On Ibe 7th of March drilling was commenced, and on Monday last, when the well had been drilled about 1150 feet, , considerable oil showed itself In the hole. Tbe report went abroad that it was filled up about 1,000 feet, which created quite an excitement. Speculator bought aud leased lots in Fair view at high rates, and tbe surrounding country was overrun with persons wanting to leate or purchase farms. Oo Wednesday tbe well was tubed and put in motion. A smsll quantity of waier was thrown out, thus demonstrating that tbe well will not prove as profitable as appearances would eem to 'Indicate. The oil obtained thus far Is no doubt from the second sand. When tbe third sand bas been reached an abundant supply of oil may be obtained. Tbe well is named the Indian Spring be cause It is located on ground on which an Indian camp was once erected, the remains of which were still visible when white men fltd settled in that part ol the country. Mr. Campbell gave a liberal lease to bave this territory developed. He gave tbe lease to tbe right men, wbo will yet pene trate tbe third sand if it can bo found in that locality. We entertain the hope that the enteprrlse will eventually prove prolilo. ble to tbe owner and the enterprising operators- Oilman's Journal. The St. Louis Republican's lady corres pondent writes: "I know It's nasty lobe rulea by men, to have no voice la tbe af fairs of State, to bo Interior to tbe inferior ity of mankind.
