There has beeu some talk ill Butler late
ly of a proposed boiler works, to be locat

places, (a few, also, being made in But
ler) and they cost about S2OO each.

i. r. augur steins, jars und bits are made
in Pittsburg, Oil City and Bradford, and a
"string" of tools costs about S4OO. The
contractor furnishes his own tools, bellows
ami cable, aud drills the hole at so much
per foot. A contractor's outfit costs about
SIOOO, and they charge about a dollar a
foot for drilling a well.
The bulk of the supply of tubing aud
easing is made in Pittsburg and vicinity;
53 casing costs 45 cents a foot, aud tubing
costs 14 cents.

MILLER BRO'S.
No. 19, Jefferson St,, Butler, Pa.
Puller's Prosperity.
In looking over oor bu*v town for tie
la t few days I have been wore tliau ev< r
impressed with its thrift and enterprise.
Having been born and raised ju the
ciunty and being familiar with its
history for over twenty-five years, I can
say without fear of contradiction that since
Butler's organization it has never enjoyed
the substantial prosperity of which it can
now boast.
In the parlance of the street, men are
heard to ay that "Butler is having a
boom." This is a misnomer. We assoei
ate with booms tbe idea of nudnly inflated
values and extravagance of ideas, pros
perity dependent largely or entirely upon
some local development or influence which
of necessity is short lived, and whi< h.when
dead, carries the boom with it the grave.
We venture the assertion that there is not
a town in Western l'eunsylvauia of the
same population and doing the same vol
ume of business that can offer cheaper
homes or living.
As to extravagance in the management
of the interests of the town, nothing could
be farther removed from the truth than an
assertion of this kind. If our citizens are
in error it is rather in the opposite ex
treme. The names of Duffy. I'urvis. Berg,
Keibcr. Campbell, Troutman, and Klinjr
ler and a host of others are rather the very
synonyms of conservatism and prudence.
"As to our oil business. It may be argil
ed that its benefit to the the town is a mat
ter of but a brief time —its history will
soon be told. No one can deny the possi
bility of Butler's occupying the central and
distributing point with reference to the
county's oil production for twenty-five
years and who will dare to predict that our
county's output of oil twenty-five years
hence will not equal that of to-day. How
long since (ircece City's production might
have made sc:>res of our citizens rich with
more moderation and conservatism on their
part. Eight or ten years ago who
dreamed of a Thorn Creek or Glade
Kan field' " And four years ago who could
have guessed the wealth of the Connftquc
ncssiug Valley west of usf
But suppose we take the most pessimis
tic view of this phase of the matter. Sup
posing this industry were shortly to cease
beiug a feeder to the interests of Butler—a
condition of things most improbable—we
have still left to us more wealth by thous
ands of dollars than we ever had. We have
more men of enterprise and business tact
and sagacity than we ever had,and we have
more natural advantages tban has the city
of Denver to-day with its phenomenal size
and growth. More water flows over the
channel of the Conuoquenessing than is
found in the l'latte river where Denver is
located and which constituted her only
water supply when she boasted of her -
000 population. We have a supply of gas
for fuel and light that I >enver has not. and
may never have —fuel that is without a ri
val for both economy and convenience, ami
in the event of an exhausted supply of this
as a fuel, we can get coal laid down at our
factory doors, in quantities practically in
exhaustable, at a price that would be re
garded as incredible by that western city,
viz: a fraction less than four cents a bush
el.
In addition to all this we are surrounded
by an agricultural section that could feed
50.1KH) people as easily as 5.0011. All these
things combine to make Butler the cheap
est place for living of any town, with which
the writer is acquainted, east or west, af
fording equal facilities for making money.
In the light of these things the question
may be asked, why has Butler been left so
far behind her western sisters in the race
for distinction? To one who has visited west
ern towns and made a study of the causes
that led to their rapid growth, in nine
cases out of every ton, this is the answer;
Western people irant their town or city to
grow. They bend every energy and offer
every inducement and, if need be, make
sacrifices in this direction. They talk
about their particular locality; they dwell
on its advantages over every place else;
they are lavish iu their praises of it to vis
itors; they spare uo pains or expense in
advertising through the press to the far
thest limit of the country, and real estate
men sing its praises in every novel and at
tractive way.
Concentrate the same energy and the
same varied efforts toward making of But
ler a place of importance that have been
used in the upbuilding of Denver, Puyhlo
ami a score of other western cities of my
acquaintance and within less than five
years wo could boast of 25,000 people. We
are very sure that if some of our good peo
pie of Butler would visit some of these,
points whose merits and superior ad van
tages have been published to the four
winds, they would come home prouder of
their native town quietly resting upon her
substantial merit though never heralded to
the world.
We urc glad to note that our people are,
to a degree greater than ever before, mani
festing a home enterprise, we allude to
such industries as the S. (i. Purvis ,!• Co.
lumber yard and planing mill, which
through the energy and .sagacity of its pro
prietors, has kept pace with the ever in
creasing demand for building and oil well
material. To the grain elevator recently
built by 11. .1. Klingler <t Sons which can
not fail to prove an investment of profit to
the proprietors as well as a public benefit
to the town and community. To the plate
glass works, the bottle glass works, the
Hull Engine works and others, which, if not
due, entirely to Butler capital and enter
prise have all been fostered and encouraged
by it. Hut the greatest stride that has
ever been taken in the direction of Butler's
material and permanent growth by any in
dividual citizen in our place has been
taken by our fellow townsman. Jos. Brit
tain, Jr., in conceiving the idea of con
structing chemical works in this place. We
do not say that, he has been moved to this
out of pure philanthropy; were he inter
rogated on the subject, lie would truthful
ly say that it was the personal prolit that
would accrue to himself that he saw in it
that led him to take the lirst step in this
enterprise, but in the business he has set
on foot, his personal interest and the gen
eral interest of the town are so nearly
identical that be cannot enhance the one
without furthering the other.
As to the business itself no one questions
its heavy profits for a moment, for the
simple reason that the materials constitu
ting the base of more than a dozen chemi
cal products, viz, salt water and waste
wood represent no commercial value in a
manner, the one, mi oil man would gladly
give away, if the sill would rid him of the
nuisance, the other the farmer would glad
ly get out of the way of plow and the pas
ture for the more cost of takiug it. away. Is
Butler the proper place to locate such a
plant' We unhesitatingly say yes, and
would challenge any one to name any
point iu the broad state of Pennsylvania
that combines as many advantages for the
manufacture of chemicals as does Butler
Is Joseph Brittain the right man to under
take such an enterprise? Does he know
anything about the chemical business? We
just as unhesitatingly say yes, of all the
enterprising men of our town he has proven
himself to be the best fitted to both con
ceive and consummate the scheme. His
business integrity has never been impeach
ed, cannot be. He possesses the ability to
grapple with large sohemes to a degree be
yond any young man of his age of my ac
quaintance and to favorably impress men
of capital with the plausibility of a scheme,
in indomitable energy he has no equal in
the town. Ho is not a chemist, 110 one
says he is, he lays no claim to this himself.
A man to own and control an iron mill
does not of necessity need to be either a
puddler or nail cutter. Neither does a man
need to know all about analytical chem
istry to successfully operate a silver mine,
such skill is always at command at a price.
Mr. Brittain has already secured the ser
vices of a first-class chemist, who comes to
him from one of the largest chemical works
in the world.
Is the scheme going to succeed? Our
unmodified prediction is, yes, and we mean
to help it succeed. We bespeak for the
enterprise the substantial support and
patronage of every man in our town and
community who lias any money to invest.
Can we not emulate the spirit" of western
men who have not only built up cities but
amassed colossal fortunes in the very face
of difficulties and disadvantages to "which
our town is a stranger? If the real estate j
owners in Butler are ever to receive the re
turn for their investment that they should,
if the merchants of our town are ever to
increase their business to such proportions
as the natural advantages of our section
entitles them to, in short, if Butler is ever
to become the prosperous city that she
should be and that she may be on account
of her surrounding of natural resources, it
will only be by the citizens of our town and
community following in the footsteps of
the -progressive western town, and cn
conraging just such men and measures as
Mr. Brittain and his enterprise.
