Business o Oil Creek U reviving some
what under tbe ioQuence of a better condi
tion of tbe oil market. Besides operations
npoo already developed territory, explora
tions or nw fields are being Inaugurated
with such results as already Indicate tbe
opening up or oil fields taa ezlstencaof
wblcn bas been long suspeoted and even
known, though the exact locality of wbiob
iias never been accurately determined,
refer to that seotioa lying between Titus
rille and Petroleum Centre, and between
lberrytroo Run and Oil Creek. 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

vtlopments ocour, I will constitute mm.

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.

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

and. V will doubtless bave some drflnke

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.
