Heydrick, Butler, Pa., Dear Sir and Friend— Your letter of inquiry ree'd; I found on arrival at Bartleville a real oil town, gas lights in every direction, making the sky red at night, and everything on the jump. The wells are from 13 to 15 hundred feet deep, they use one string of 800 feet of casing, they have thirty feet of sand rock, the oil is of high grade of green oil, they are striking a straight line for the center of our lease, and are but II miles from our lease with the l>est well I mean the 400 bbl well.) There is a gas well 1J miles in advance, the flow of gas is so strong that they have been unable to handle it yet, the well is only 1100 feet deep. As they go farther south the sand is better, and the oil of higher grade, some of the Osage Oil Co. wells are not more than 10 miles from our lease. From Bartleville they pijie the oil to Neada Shay, Kansas, where they have the finest refinery I have ever seen, they make chewing gum. axle grease and in fact everything that we make in the East, they are unable to fill the de mand for oil etc. Mr. Sapnlpa ree'd the box of trinket? you sent the school. The Indian children were highly delighted with them. They think they are on the west edge ol the belt, I know there is no bettei I field in the United States than the one I have just been to investigate, and whei [ you think of the gas that escapes from the crevices near town, you can see thai this is the l>e»t prospect in the world I will push matters as fast as possibli for me to do in getting ready to dril > well and have them in shape for goinf. ahead when you come, I am very truly yours, !

Guffey drilled a test well on the tract, and on Saturday Inst received word that a tremendous pusher had been struck at 1000 feet. The well was reported to flowing at the rate of 20,000 barrels n daj-, and great dams were being built to save it. The oil is darker and thicker than our oil but still valuable. This well is near the coast, it is at least 200 miles southeast of the Corsicana field in Texas, about 50 iuiles East by North of Galveston, and about a hundred miles from New Orleans. The proximity of the well to the coast and (Juffey's im mense wealth, puts it in his power to build a refinery on the coast and run opposition to the Standaid Oil Co., and another thing, so tremendous a supply of oil in the vicinity will likely cause the people of Now Orleans to use it for fuel, which would cut into tb" coal trade of Pittsburg.

Those who have heard the work at pri vate rehearsals declare it, to be notable. The soloist i-» Ernest von Dohnanyi who although but 22 years of age is a great pianist. London gave him this position two years ago and his few ap pearences in New York and Boston last season justified London's opinion In the first part of the program he will play the G major concetto by Beethoven Seats for these concerts can be obtain en at Mellows store 819 Fifth An. and ordered by te'ephone 1259, also cn the day of the concert seats can lie had at the Ban after I m.
