Some weeka ago we atated that If Lam

interested" In a dry bole at Bonnie Brook
- Drinker's Mill, tbiee miles east of the
town of Boiler, It would be tha ire! luck
they bad encountered of tba kind in all
their wlld caiing ia Buller county. In these
remarks we Dud we were mistaken. Pie
ambulating lhrougb.Butler county laat week
ao old looking oil trig waa discovered uear
Rulaton's Mill, in Concord township. In
nulrv developed tbe fact that tbe above
gentleman had sunk a well on tbe ground
where tbe derrick now sranda and failed to
get oil in paying quantities. Thus, itwll
be seen, that while Limbing Bros, bava
done much by way of showing the people
where oil can be lonod In abundant quae
tities, thejr bava also left some landmarks
wbiob point to localities where it cannot be
found; aad.; admouish the seekers for
