Through all this they have persevered and have attained a depth of 1,500 feet. At this depth a large flow water and gas was encountered, making other machinery necessary to continue. This has been ordered and the well will be sunk the remaining 150 feet, when it will intersect the oil sand for which the well is being drilled, if all calculations do not miscarry.

The reports speak of a parcel in the section named sold at the rate of $1,280,000 an acre. The same and could have been bought, it is said, before the oil strike, for $10 per acre. The popular lecturer who discourses on acres of diamonds might change sis theme now to acres of Texas and ind it equally apt and suggestive. We should not be surprised if we wake up some fine morning and find a similar condition in Utah and oil men. ! I TUtab.
