his right leg, breaking it below tiio kneo

bones were broken. Two of his fingers
were caught by tho wheel and the ends

The" accident occurred about three
miles South of Madras) and it was fully
an hour after tho accident before Mr

too badly injured to mbvo himself. He
was found by the l3efid stage, and
the passengers fixed a place for him in
the bottom of the stage and made him
as comfortdblo as possible until they
could get him to Madras, where he was

WOOL SALES AT SfiANlfto
Shaniko re-established its reputation
as the best wool market In the state, at
the second public wool sales held
there last week, the prices averaging
about 2 cents per pound better than at
the first sale. The prices ranged be
tween 10 and 1014 cents per pound, and
were the best prices so far paid this sea
son for any Oregon wools. The wools
offered for sale were an exceptionally
fine lot as to 'quality.
Jacob Kasser; a Crook county sheep
man who lives over on Cherry creek, re
ceived the top price, his lot of 35,000
pour.ds bringing 104 cents per pound
J. Wagner, from the same locality, cot
a little better than 10 cents for 45,000
pounds, while Iteeder & Fisher of Shan
iko, got 15 3-8 for their clip of 55,000
pounds. Much of the Crook county
wool was sold, the Frineville Land &
Livestock Company witli 95,000 pounds,
and Morrow & Keenan with 73,000
pounds being among those sold. All of
the wools offered were sold with the ex
ception of one lot of 55,000 pounds be
longing to the Black Butte Land & Live
stock Company, for which an offer of
10K cents was declined".
WATER FOUND AT 71 FEET
A. Y. Banta was iq town last Monday
from his home iiear Trail Crossing. He
brought tho good news that water had
been found oh his place at a depth of 71
feet, and that the supply is apparently
inexhaustible. Mr. i Bahta has been
hauling water for his stock and for all
ranch purposes for the past 11 years, as
it was generally supposed that water
could not .be found In the locality in
except at great depth,
which would necessitate a heavy expen
diture in sinking a well.
short time ago Ivan Hale drilled a
w;ll on tho JJpdson place near Mr. Ban
ta's, and when he found water there at
80 feet) ho moved over to the Banta
place lo drill and got water at 71 feet.
Mr. Bahta sas there appears to be a
large.streani of it', a thoy are unable to
lower theyater appreciably in tho six
inch hole, by steady pumping

a blessing to Mr. Bantn

day on the first prospect well .which $
to be sunk by the Madras Oil & Qa
Company", and unless some Unexpected
accident delays them, work will be coh
tinued steadily night and day until fchcy
have solved the question of Whether bt
not oil exists in paying quantities un
demeath the wheat fields df north-central
Crook cobnly. The work is id
charge of General Manager Itoss", who
has had 23 years experience in drilling
for oil, and preparations have been
made to continue the first well to a
depth of 4000 feet if necessary, although
it is confidently expected that oil will
be found ionc before that depth i?
reached. For the bresent ohlyono shifj
is worked at the drill, but as sooh as i
gets in good working condition the drill
win be Kept going night anu clay; so
that rapid progress will be made.
The hole started is 12 Inches in diani-
cter at the surface, and this will be dc
creased as depth is attained and tho
casing inserted". The entire well will be
cased, from top to Do'ttoin, tho hole be
ing reduced in size and the snlaller cas
ing being lowered inside the larger.
This is continued all the wav down, the
hole beihg reduced and the smaller cas
ing being used whenever tho hole has
reached a depth where the .larger tap
ing cannot be driven further. In thir
manner the hole alter it reaches h'c
lower depths, will haVe several sizes pi
cases extending down from the snfia.c'e',
and when, completed will have the
smallest size of theaBing extending all
the way down froin top(to bottom.
a large una tower j la feet high, has
been erected at the point where the
well is being drilled ahd everything is id
shape for deeb drilling. Water is piped
from one of the springs near there dowq
to the calnp, furnishing a good supply
of water for the. engine and fpr all other
purposes at the camp. A blacksmith
shop has been bu rh forsharpempg tho
tools, and the bellows is operated by tb
engine which runs tho drill. A board ing
house, bunk-house and conibistc

something in the neighborhood bf 20,

tion and in tho Culver country in fact'
throughout this entire region for a
number of years past, thotigh no effort
has before been made to develop oliV
of the prospects. Wells sunk to a depth
of several hundred feet have shown
traces of oil, in somo cases so pro
