but wat.e fizzle from the atart in tbe place
or It birth.
When It ia fully demonstrated by acts and
deeda that the producers are in earnest and
mean buaineis down below, we duubt not
our District will acquiesce.
In tbe meantime let us organize well aod
thoroughly. We are ready then to accept
tir reject proposilioaa presented. As David

PRODUCERS' MEETING.
A meeting of tbe producers of tba 1Kb
DiBttlot. was held at tbe Grant A Wilson
C lub Room, last evening, which was quite
largely attended.
Oo motion, F. J- Keffer waa elected
chairman of tbe meeting.
Tbe chairman in a few words stated the
orjeots of tbe meeting to be an expression
of the views of the producers in legard to
tbe sbuttiog down of pumping wells for the
ensuing forty dare, and invited those pres
ent to give tbeli idess on the subject.
Mr. L. P. Walker said, that as Chairman
of tbe Distriol Committee, be had been re
quested to call this meeting by the Presir
dent of the Producers' Vnlon, and that be
would like to bear from all present
Tbe chairman stated that as an Individu
al be was opposed to signing any further
pledge. For one be bad already signed
several documents, the agreements contain
ed In which bed never been fulfilled, aod be
was not prepared to vote for or against tbe
proposition to shut down until be waa fully
satisfied the producers were acting in good
leltb.
Capt. Powers agreed with tbe chairman,
and thought tbe lower district had not act
ed squarely towards tbe Creek producers In
the matter of suspension of drilling for six
months.
Mr. Walker stated ibat be conld not
abut down bis wells without damaging them
beyond repair, still be stood ready to do
anything that lay In bis power tor tbe gen
eral gotd oi tile region.
Some further remarks were made by dif;
lereot producers, after which tbe meeting
adjourned until further was heard from the
lower region.
Mk. Editor: However producers me;
diller as to tbe proper thing to do, when all
agree that something must be done, there
cao be no difference of opinion as to tbe need
for organizing. . By remaining in our pres-
eut helpless condiiion, we only Invite the
cupidity of combinations against us. Tbe
very moment we show a lull square front, a
capacity to act as a unit, tbe battle Is gain
ed. With the P. P. Union reorganized, of
ficered by men who are recognized as lead
ing operators, and with constitution and
by laws that all can obey and respect, we
can produce just as much oil as we oboose
and do Injustice to none. Sell 15,000 barrels
a day for one-third more than we get fur
19,000 barrels, and aava to ourselves and
'amllles tbe expense of drl ling and pump
Ing out 4000 barrels difference. We can
take tbe Bull by the boms and adapt Mm
bencefortb at a presiding Deity.

tioned that Messrs Ribighinr aod Brake
were about testing Iwo new wells, and we
learn tbe one to tbe north of the Lancaster
and Co., well, near tbe burned well, is not
in a very flourishing oooditlon. Tbe one
to tbe west, however, Is pronounced as
yielding 40 barrels a day. Tbe Dew well of
Hyde aod Co., to the east of the Temper
ance well, is drilling; and to the south-west
McGiil A Co , aod Anderson, Porter A Co ,
are busy with rigs. liaydi n and Jooea
well No. 2, towards the north part of tbe
La oi be territory, Is pumping, and produces
about 15 barrels a day. The Curyell well
upon tbe Thomasf and Co., sub-division, has
been delayed for want of water, but it is ex
pected to be down this week. Keoaedy
and Jeffrey are building a rig for their No.
8, between Nob, 6 and 7, opposite tbe new
rig of Col. Shoemaker; Lawson aod Co..
will commence diilllng tbe Is tier at once.
Br tbe way, the new well of Lawson.
Graoge & Co., is a good one; and also the
'Dough-boy" near by. A. aud S. Keith
are busy with Col. Shoemaker's now wel'
to the east or "Old Hickory" ana "Iron
Duke;" and tbe rig to tbe south of the latter
well is nearly ready lor the same owner.
L Tbe Heseey and Cralse well, and F.
Smith, Dunlop and Policy well, upon the
Webster territory, are being tested and
yield liberally. Tbe new well of Garner
and Co., is nearly completed, witb a good
show; while tbe Lougbeed and Co., and F.
Smith, Wright aod Co. wells, on tbe Web
ster farm, are drilling. McMillan well, on
tbe Graham farm, north of Martbaville Is
being tested yield 15 barrels.
The Western Co., are busy going over
tbe old district, giving It a thorough test;
and it is expected Ibat enough good wella
will be secured to more than beat all expen

A lite Scalp Dance.
Los Plnos Correspondence Denver News.
After the etiquette of tbe occasion was
over, tbe Mauoue Utes showed us what was
tbeir pleasiog custom whenever a good and
glossy scalp fell into their bands, by dancing
a scalp dance, shouting, screaming, drum
ming aod yelling, wbile an old and haggard
and wrinkled squaw kept Ibe old bucks to
tbeir work by joining in the breakdown and
working assiduously in the semi-religious
observance. It was all a weird aud strange
and unusual sight, and the dirt aod tbe
creepers and tbe stolid Indifference it tbe
average Indians disappeared entirely from
tbe mind, and in their place came up very
uoploasant imaginings of very lively shin
ning around that pack of ferocious, and yet
very tame byeaos Iito loose npon you.
They used up all the breath and power and
muscle they bad, passed in review again,
and went off crooning some very unmusical
air, and all waa quiet.
It la not strange in these degenerate days
to bear ol men having snakes in tbeir boots,
but the snake whiob troubled a Kentucklan,
the other day, was in tbe lining of bis coat.
Upoo cutting tbe lining bis anakesbip two
leet long slipped out and was killed. One
man who' witnessed tbe exit of the enake
from tbe coat turned nine even-handed som
ersaults. Tbe Congress ol Peru has decreed the

A Misfouri schoolmaster sends l Ibe St

tween large black ants, great numbers of
wblcb iu Tested bis temple of learning. En
tering bis school bouse a few mornings ago,
l.e fouud tbe floor strewn witb dead and
dying ants, and a desperate battle among
them, wbloli bad evidently been going on
all night, as tbe dead outnumbered those
still engaged. Moitl of the belligerents were
grappled in a deadly embrace, wbile other,
but lately commenced were Handing erect
on their bind legs, striving for tbe advan
tage with all tbe skill aud science of tbe
must experieoced swordemen. The most
lalalipoint ol Attack, and tbe one for which
it seems all contend) d, was tbe ligament
which joined tbe main body witb tbe bead.
This vital member once seized the powerful
nippers, death sucoeeded without a struggle,
and tbe victor was ready and eager for an
other engagement.
No undue advantage was taken by either
party; and no two would endeavor to over
power a single one; not was there any flinch
log or wavering in a single instanoe, lor
whenever two billlgerents met It was eertaio
death to one or both parties. The battle
lasted two nights and a day, and only end
ed with the annihilation or one of tba coo
tending armies. There was a alight differ
ence to tbe appearanoe of the contestants,
one set being perfectly black witb a large
bead, wbile tbe other was nearly brown
witb a smaller bead, though botb about
equally matched In size aod strength.
