'SHOOTING" AN OIL WELL
HAJSINO PETROLEUM FROM ITS
UNDERGROUND PRISON.
A Cnrlonn Procpnn in tlio FonnsvN
Tiinia Oil lloiflnn. A Theory as
to I ho OrlKin of Oil.
For two hours recently, writes Snmuol
P. Lolnntl in the Chicago Tribune, I stood
in a bleak wind to witness tlio process of
"shooting" an oil-wpll. This is accom
plished by letting down with a strong
wire on a windlass tin tubes about three
inches in diameter and fourteen feet long,
tillod with nitroglycerine. Knch of
those tubes will hold about twenty quarts
of the liquid. If the blast is to be made
nt tho bottom of the well then tho tirst
rnn or tube is let down to rest upon tho
bottom, but it the stratum of rocks which
it is desired to "shoot" b; above the
bottom, as is frequently tho case, then
smaller tubes aro lastened upon the first
charged tubo for a support. These may
bo thirty or fifty feet long, or even more.
The lower end of this tube, of course,
tests on tho bottom of tho well, and sus
tains tho charged tubes, which are care
fully let down ono upon the other until
sixty, eighty, or even 100 quarts are thus
deposited. In doing this every move
ment must be mnde with the utmost care,
anil is attended with great danger.
Tho liquid weighs about four pounds
to tho quart, hence a great weight must
bo provided for. On the upper end of
the topmost tube an explo-ivc cap is
placed. The charge is exploded by drop
ping an iron slug, called, in the nomen
clature of the oil country, a "go-devil."
Cautious persons keep at a good dis
tance. The operator gives the alarm
and lets the slug drop. In a well 2,000
feet deep, filled with gas or oil. the
weight may be twenty or even twenty
five seconds in descending. If the well
is clear, of course its descent is more
rapid. The first sensation one feels is a
heavy thud, like the dropping of a great
weight on the rocks. The next a trem
bliug of the ground, and then a rushing
roar, followed by a slight explosion, and
a stream of sand, oil, water, pulverized
"go-devil," and tubes, and black gas
goes shrieking into the air in a dense
column a hundred feet or more, and all
is over.
If tho blast is an effective one it is im
mediately followed by a flow of oil or
gas. Often a dead and worthless well
will at once begin to flow after the shock.
One well near Butler that was deail and
thought worthless was awakened to
activity by a heavy blat and rewarded
the owner with a flow of TOO barrels of
oil daily.
A sixty-quart blast costs the owner of
the well about floo, including the labor
of placing it This labor, as has been
said, is attended with great danger.
Sometimes, when the well is full of gas,
tho torpedo, after descending a few hun
dred feet, will be driven violently out of
the well. In that case it is certain to
explode by hitting the timbers of the
derrick or when it reaches the ground in
its descent. In either case general de
struction of everything is certain.
Sometimes upon the explosion of a tor
pedo in a well, a large volume of oil is
thrown into the air. This is often asiuht
of surpassing beauty, the oil breaking as
it falls into countless drops, and each
drop becoming a prism to reflect the
sun's rays in matchless coloring.
So far the gas wells and oil wells are
treated alike.
About the origin of oil ond gas there
has been much speculation. The surface
indications are very unreliable. Some no
tion, however, may be formed from a
knowledge of the geological structure of
the rocks underlying a country. For in
stance, tho gas and oil regions of Penn
sylvania are on the central beds of the
Devonism system, or old red sandstone,
made famous by the writings of Hugh
Miller. As is well known this formation
is below tho carboniferous system, in
which are the coal measures. Long ago
the notion was abandoned that the oil
and gas come from coal. It is much
more probable that they have an animal
origin. The enrly seas were prolific of
life, and the unsubstantial crust of the
earth readily yielded to the volcanic
forces. ThiB caused continents and seas
to frequently change places. By these
upheavals ol the ocean beds the waters
were driven with great violence out
ward, carrying measureless masses of
the shell fishes and crustaceans into the
great estuaries and burying them under
beds of sand and mud. These beds
hardened into rocks. In the-e deposi
tions, the sand being heavier than the
mud, naturally fell to the bottom. This
accounts for the fact that in nearly all
oil borings a rock of slate or shale is
passed before reaching the oil sand.
Thuse vast beds of carboniferous
matter, closely sealed, generated "spon
taneous heat," and so intense was this
heat that the oil was literally "tried"
out of the organic forms. This oil was
deposited in great basins, or mixed with
the vast beds of sand. The weight of
the superincumbent crust of the earth
makes the wells flow, if the oil is abund
ant. If not, the pump must be used.
Add to this material water and at
mospheric air, and gas is produced by
the same process. And such gas, too, as
the wells produce rich in carbon, but
largely lacking nitrogen; hence this gas
is good for fuel, but has not the proper
qualities for illuminating purposes.
Knowing so much, we have, at least, a
slight guide. The gas formation in
Pennsylvania, stretching from Bradford
on the north, in an irn-gular line, with
varying width, to Washington County
on the south, lies on what geologists
call an "incline."

Kept His Promise.
A correspondent tells this story of Dr.
Weiting, owner of the Syracuse (X. Y).
Opera-house: Some years ago ho was
lecturing in New York, and after the
lecture he was approached by a young
man who was an entire stranger to him.
The doctor was, therefore, greatly sur
prised to hear him make an extraordi
nary request. Ho had been in the audi
ence and heard the lecture, and was cap
tivated by the doctor's eloquence, and
he made bold to speak to him. The
young man said he desired to go to Cal
ifornia and wanted money.
"Give me 1. 000," said he to Dr.
Weiting, "and I will send you one-half
of every dollar I make in California."
The doctor was so surprised at the
request that he did not say anything for
some time, and finally asked the young
man who he was. The doctor learned
his name, and then asked why ho did
not go to his relatives for the money.
The young man replied that he had no
relatives.
After a few days' thinking over the
matter, the doctor concluded to give the
money to the young man, and he did so.
A year or so afterward Dr. Weiting re
ceived $5,000 from California. It was
marked: "One-half of the money I have
made." Dr. Weiting then wrote to the
young man that he considered that he
complied with his promise, nnd released
him; but the young man replied that he
did not consider himself released, and
would carry out his bargain. Money
continued to come from California,
until Dr. Weiting had received $40,000.
Then it stopped, and he could not find
the young man, and the doctor came to
the conclusion that he was dead. The
do tor took the $-li, 00 and invested it
in a block of buildings. He had hardly
made the purchase before the entire
block burned down, and ho lost all the
money made for him by the honest
young man in California.
a Question or the Centuries.
The Louisville Courier-Journal decided
a recent dispute by ssying: "The nine
teenth century commenced with the 1st
day of January, 1800, and ends with the
31st day of December, 1S9!." One of
the parties to the dispute was dissatis
fied with this decission, and wrote to
the New York Graphic, which paper
takes a different view as follows:
Colonel Watterson's hasty ruling is
wrong and must be reversed, as a little
figuring and common sense will easily
demonstrate. A century is a 100 years
exactly. Ergo, speaking of tho Cbxii
tian era.
The first century ended December 31,
100.
The second century ended December
81, 200.
Tho third century ended December 31,
800. .
The second century began January 1,
101.
The third century began January 1,
201.
The fourth century began January 1,
301.
Proceeding with this computation it is
quite obvious that the nineteenth cen
tury beg:m the instant 1MJU years had
passed that is, on January 1, 1801 and
will terminate with the completion of
the K'Ooth year, on the last day of De
cember, A. D. 1U00. lhat ought to be
plain enough row, although it puzzles
many persons hereabouts as well as in
Montana.

tributes great value to suits made from

Consequently wo feel jtmtitled in taking
the lilwrty of printing a few points from a.
private, letter roi-ently received from one of
our lnixnst patroim, iu a nrt of confession
of faitu to our remlora. We quote:
"We have convinced ounwlves that by tail

It is not presumptuous for us to claim credit
fur checking these rarapa.
"Seven years no wo stated that the condi
tion of the kidn.-vs was the kev to the condi
tion of henlth; within the past Ave years all
careful life tnsiiranra companies have con
ceded the truth of this statement, for, where
as, ten yean hro, chemical analvMs to deter

ages of liright's Disease wore insignificant
compared with other unsuspected disorders
of the kidnevi of many misleading names;
that ninety three per cent of human ail
ments aro attributable t-o deranged kidneys,
which tills the blood with urio acid, or kid
ney poison, which causes those many fatal
diseases.
"The uric acid, or kidney poison, Is the real
cause of the majority of cases of paralysis,
apoplexy, heart disease, convulsions, pneumo
nia, consumption, and insanity; over half
the victims of consumption are first the vic
tims of diseased kidneys.
"When the recent death of an honored ex
offlcial of the United State was announced,
bis physician said that although he waa suf
fering from Bripht's Disease, that was not
the enusa of death. He was not fmnk enough
to admit that the apoplexy which overtook
him in his bed, was the fatal effect of the
kidney poison of the blood, which had eaten
away the substancs of the arteries and
brain; nor was Ixigan's physician honest
enough to state that his fatal rheumatism
was caused by kidney ax-id in the blood.
"If the doctors would state in oillcial ro
portsthaoriptniii cause of death, the people
of this country would be alarmed, yea,
nearly panto stricken, at the fearful mortal
ity from kidney disorders.''
The writers of the above letter give these
facts to the public simply to tii.tdv tht
claim lhat thry have muiie, that "if the
kidneys and liver are kept in a healthy con
dition by the use of Warner's safe cure,

Our readers are familiar with the prepara

We believe it to be one of the best, if not
the best ever manufactured. We know the

wide-spread interest in "the public mind con
cerning the importance of tue kidneys. We
believe with them that they are the key to
health, and that for their restoration from
disease and maintenance in health, there is
nothing equal to this great remedy.
The proprietors say they "do not glory in
this universal prevalence of disease, bnt hav

the merits of Warner's safe cure before the

Blenched Diamonds.
Everyone, of course, knows something
about paste diamonds and Paris dia
monds, and tho thousand aud one imita
tions of this gem of great price. And
most people, wo imagine, know tho va
rious tests by which tho genuineness of
a stone can be established; but the reve
lations made at the Marylebone police
court the other day will probably be
news to some of us. As to the case it
self, we need say no more than that tho
prisoners were Committed for trial; but
certain facta came out during the inqui
ry which possess considerable interest
for the public, or at least for those of the
public who are the happy owners of dia
monds. That there should be any means
whereby yellow diamonds, which are
worth about one-seventh of white dia
monds of the samo size, can be bleached
for that is what tho manipulation
amounts to so as to deceive an expert,
is enough to cause very serious dis
quietude in many a fair bosom. But
Mr. Streeter went even further than this,
for ho gratuitously informed the magis
trate that about two years ago a French
man succeeded in foisting upon the Lon
don market some V.4,0(io pounds worth
of diamonds which had thus been chemi
cally improved. It would be interesting
to know what bus becomo of those dia
monds. What has become of their
doubtless numerous successors? So valu
able an invention has certainly not been

Thore ore many people in this country who
are suffering untold agony from the ravages
of diseases, who have been medicated until
the very sound of tho word "medicine" sends
a thrill of horror through their sensitive
organism, and yet they are still looking
looking for somet hing that will prove a lene
tlt to their shat tered const itution and restore
to them their healt h. To t ins class of sulTorers
the Hernrd, without solicitation, desires to
say a few words, not with the intent to ad
vertise a man who trwlay is doing more for
this class of sufferers than pen can descrilie.
but liecause we Anntr, notonly from personal
experience, but from the experience of
others, that what wn are about to
say in regard to Dr. Kilmer, of Ilmgliam
ton, N. V, and his Herbal Kemedie are
facts, and it is a pleasure to let the sufferer
know that there is a Medicine that has done,
and is still doing so much lasting benefit to
the afflicted. Dr. Kilmer has lieen repre
sented in tho advertising columns of the
liemrd for over two years, and during that
period we have received many eommunica-1
tions asking if his Remedies were as repre-
senrea, ana nave always felt that we could
safely recommend them. Dr. Kilmer is one
of the twst-read Thysicinns of the present
day. He probably has the largest practice
aud examines and treats personally more pa
tients at his large and fully equipped office
in Binghamton yearly, than any other phy
sician in the country.
These Herlial Hemedies which lie sends out
are preiwred and prescribed by him iu his
own private practice. Their component arts
are carefully selected from Nature's great
laboratory, and are compounded in a scien
titlo manner so as to bo especially adapted to
the different forms of diseases for which they
are used. They are the result of years of
hard, patient study of the science of medi
cine. There seems to lie at the present time a ten
dency toward a great many Kidney, Liver
and Bladder troubles with the people of this
country, and we wish to swak more particu
larly sUHitit Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Cure. We will say
on the outset, we are not writing sensational
"gush" for Dr. Kilmer, but knowing person
ally as we do, of many important cures
wrought from the use of this medicine, we
believe it to be our duty to the afflicted to en
courage them to avail themselves of the use
of this valuable Remedy.
We know a Mr. Chas.' E. Roe, of Union
villo, Steuben Co., N. Y. who had Bright's
disease, and was told by the best Physicians
of Hornellsville. N. Y., that there was no
hojie for him, who was prevailed upon by
a friend to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Koot
Kidney Cure, lie did so, without the least
idea of being benefited, but the result was
most gratifying to himself and family, for
he was cured. Saved from death bv that
dreadful disease. Another case, that of
Kussell Sandford, of Wayne,. Steuben Co.,
who had a terrible bowel difficulty which
would not yield to the medical skill of good
doctors, who, at our own solicitation, tried
Hwamp-Root, and he told ns after using sev
eral bottles bis trouble waa removed, al
though he had no control over his bowels for
a yoar previous to using the medicine and
had been told that he would never be any
better, and that his earthly career was
limited. Our druggists here in Dundee
tell us they have sold hundreds of bottles
of this medicine aud in no instance
have they ever heard aught but praise
from the persons using it. We might men
tion scores of similar cases that, to our own
personal knowledge, have been helped out of
serious trouble by using Hwamp-IUiot. We
hope it will help Rome one, and we have no
fears of the result of a trial, by any one who
is suffering with a Kidney, Liver or Blad
der trouble. "It is worth its weight in gold."

Curious White Iron.
A writer upon the products and re
sources of Arkansas says: The most
remarkable and interesting mineral of all
this region is the white malleable iron
ore, regarding tho existence and mallea
bility of which a great deal of skepti
cism is said to exist. It is found in the
corner of Howard County, adjoining tho
frontier of Montgomery, I'olk and l'iko.
During the war, it is stated on good au
thority, the inhabitants of the vicinity
used to take tho ore us it was picked up
from tho ground, and in an ordinajy
blacksmith forge, hammer it into horse
shoe nails. Whether this be true or
not, it is certain, and can be abundantly
proved, that the ore can be taken, and,
being heated in an ordinary blacksmith
forge, can be welded and beaten into
any desirable shape.
The outcrop of this ore, aa far as it
has been explored, runs for two miles
west to east, showing a width of from
fifteen to thirty feet, with an unknown
depth. There can be no doubt that this
development of iron, in so pure and
malleable a form, will some day be im
mensely valuable. The magic touch of
a railroad will convert it into gold.

part of the time so badly that I wa unable
