Mr. J. Y. Saul, whose serious ill
ness we mentioned last week, died last
night at eleven o'clock. Some tlisee
years ago he received a severe para
lytic Btroke, from which he ouly parti
ally recovered. He was able ouly to
do light work occasionally in the
garden.- Mr. Saul came to Tionesta
from Philadelphia about the year
1865, and for some years followed his
trade of harness making at which he
had few equals. He was always jovi
al in conversation and well thought of
by our citizens, aud the family he
leaves, a wife and four children, have
the sympathy of all. He also leaves
a grown son by his first wife, who bas
always lived in Philadelphia, and who
we learn is quite well-to-do. Mr.
Saul, we judge was about 55 years old.

The Adj't of Stow Post, 274, in
forms us that he has just received a
letter from Col. Bachclder, U. S. A.,
that five headstones, weighing 800
pounds, were shipped for Tiouetta from
WeBt Rutland, Vt., on May 19. The
freight charges are paid by the U. S.
but it ii expected that the friends
pof the deceased soldiers will set up the
tombstones. It is recommended by
Col. B. as follows: "with reference to
the erection of the tombstones furnish
ed by the U. S. for soldiers graves it
is suggested that they be placed in the
ground so that about two feet will be
above ground when eet. Experience
has shown this to be the best method
to adopted in the erection of stones of
this pattern and size. But if a solid
stone foundation is adopted tbey will
be higher, but more expensive to set."
Frieuds will be notified by postal from
the Adjutant.

A guage was taken of the Cooper
and Ball town fields last Friday, May
23d, which showed the number of pro
ducing wells and production in these
districts to be as follows on that day:
No. of Wells Production.
Cooper 219 3,(!U8
.Balltown S3 2,124
Total 307 5,822
The previous gauge of these fields
was taken April 10th, and was as fol
lows :
No. of Wells Production.
Cooper 190 4,833
Ball tow n 78 2,553
Total 274 7,386
A comparison of these reports shows
an increase in the two fields during
the last forty-three days.of thirty-three
new wells, and a decrease of 1,565
barrels iu the daily production. In
the Cooper district there were twenty
three new well3 completed and a de
crease in the production of 1,135 bar
re's. In Balltown there were tau new
wells completed, and a decline of 420
barrel" iu the production. The figures
for the Cooper tract include the Hen
ry's Mills district. This decrease of
1,564 barrels in the daily production
of these two fields iu forty-three days
has not been made up by tho iucrease
in any other districts of the middle
field or lower oil country, so that
there must have been a decline in the
total production in these divisions of
the oil region.
Grandin & Kelley's No. 25, at
Balltown was drilled in the sand Fri
day afternoon. Its first day's pro
duction is estimated at close to 100
barrels.

Thinking a few notes from the Lake
State might not prove uninteresting, 1
will endeavor to spread myself a little
in that direction.
We left the Keystone state on the
morning of April 14th, and after an
uninterrupted ride of six hundred
miles arrived here the evening of the
15th. The weather was fair and warm
when we left Oil City but when we
arrived here 11 snow storm was in pro
gress and there has not been a day
since that we did not need our over
coat. Manislee is a city of ten thousand
inhabitants situated on a river acd
in a county of the same name, one
half mile from the eastern shore of
Lake Michigan and about one hundred
miles north east of Milwaukee on the
opposite side of the lake.
It is emphatically a lumbering city
and in Ibis consists the chief and in
fact the only wealth of the place.
Immense forests surround the city
on three side from which millions of
dollars worth of the article is manu
facture! yearly aud shibped to Chica
go on the waters of lake Michigan,
which comes up almost to the city.
,The inhabitants are composed of
people from many different countries
among which, Holland, Denmark,
Poland, Germany, Ireland, and Nor
way and Sweeden are represented the
strongest.
Among the numerous wealthy mill
owners, R. G. Peters is one of the chief.
This lumber king, recently weut to
Canada to invest in timber lands. He
purchased, as he supposed, a large
tract of several thousand acres of fine
pine timbered land, but when be at
tempted to erect some mills on
the same the polite officials of the
Canadian government modestly in
formed him that he only owned the soil
and that the timber belonged to the
government. He has the consolation
of paying taxes on some thousands of
acres of wild pine land. The only
other occupation of any importance
besides the lumber business is
the salt works which are located
on a river a short distance above
here. It is carried on in quite a prim
ative state aud some enterprizing man
from Pa. might get rich by contract
ing to drill here. They drill about
1600 feet and it actually takes from
ten to sixteen months to complete a
well. Now prepare to open yours eyes
contractors, when I tell you that they
pay $5 per foot for drilling. These
are facts as told tome by men who are
engaged in the productbu. Well as
I have already occupied too much space
I will close hoping that your patience
will not sustain too great a strain iu
deciphering the scribbling ' and cor
recting the orthography of your un
worthy correi-pondeut.

Western Notes.
On the 12t.h inst. I took the D. & R.
G. R. R., fur Leadville, meeting
Messrs. Horton and Crary with their
respective families at Colorado
Springs. "The - Springs" has not
grown very much since I was here be
fore. We dined at South Pueblo, and
about four o'clock p. m., had the
pleasure of viewing the grandest mor
sel of mountain scenery that man can
wish to be behold. The "Royal Gorgo"
or Grand Cannon of the Arkausas.
The first word of its title explains it
all. Several hours later we saw an
incidental sight that beggers descrip
tion. The sun was about twenty min
utes above the mountaiu tops and
shone dowu on the snow- clad summits,
while a thousand feet below those
shining crests were, the dense clouds
iucident to a Rocky Mountain snow
storm, that was.raging in the range.
Words of mine fail to give any idea of
its beauty and any attempt to do so
would be but to give a very faint idea
of its grandeur, so I will leave it to
the reauers to imagine. At 10 p. m.,
we arrived at Leadville, the same
old Leadville I wrote you from several
years ago. Times are very dull there
at present and on about every other
door you see either "For Sale," "To
Let," or "To Rent," which would in
dicate that times are dull.
During ny short stay the next day
I called on Hons. A. K. Dunkel and
Lucius Rogers, formerly Secretary and
Depty Secretary ot Internal Affairs of
Pennsylvania. They are interested iu
the miciog business and have some
excellent prospects. I met Mr. A.
Bloodsworth, formerly of Oil City,
hud my head chainman on the Rio
Grande engineer Corps, and with him
visited the Chrysolite mine; he show-"
ing me "entirely around." I then
took tli9 Denver South Park it Pacific
R. R., for Guouison City. This road
reaches the highest point reached by
auy railroad, even that of Mr. Mergs'
in Peru. At Alpiue Tunnel the enor
mous height of 11,552 feet above sea
level is reached. There you. descend
as yon ascend, by a gradu of 251 feet
per mile, to Gunnison City. Here is
one of the best of the Colorado mining
camps.' A Town of about 3500inhab
itats iu the "midst 01 the hills." Here
we again come to the Rio Grande R'y
which I took for Salt Lake and Og
den, traveling over again the territory
now by steam that three yeais ago I
pussed over foot-sore and weary.
Where then there was not a single
sign of civilization and we traveled
and labored days to get a few miles,
we now glided along two slender rib
bons of steel, in an elegant "sleeper"
at the rate of 30 miles an hour.
The solid granite of ages had yield-,
ed up a roadway to the engine that
hauled U3 with an easy, painless mo
tion, where with us every step was a
pacg. Rauches and villages had
sprung up all along the route. Delta,
Montrose and Grand Junction were
the most notable. On our way to
Grand Junction we passed- through
the Black Canon of the Gunnison,
and one of the most terrible canons in
the west. At Grand Junction is
where the Denver and Rio Grande and
Denver and Rio Grande Western Ry'o
met when uuder construction, and
where Mr. John llardie drove the
"Last Spike" from Denver to Ogden.
The D. &. R. G. W.Ry. crosses both
the Grande and the Green rivets, and .
follows the Price river op almost to
its source. Along the Price river is
some very fine scenery such as Castle
Gate, entrance to Price Canon &c.
In the Salt Lake Valley are some fine
farms and residences. At Salt Lake
City I stopped off and visited between
trains, the Tabernacle, the Temple and
"Brigham's Tomb."- From there I
went on to Ogden. After having fin
ished what business 1 had there, I tele
graphed Gen'l Manager A. N. Towne,
of the Central Pacific, who very
promptly telegraphed ma "pass" to
San Francisco aud return. Taking
the fast express at Ogden I left for
"Golden Gates," but as I did not have
an opportunity to "climb the Goldeu
Stairs" I will write you again About
the Pacific and some things I saw
there. Whittekin.
