north of St. John since last'AuguBt,
Is confident that he will strike wUat he
is searching for In the next 600 feet
Tho well is now down G20 feet, and
was being drilled at the rate of about,
12 feet a day until the rise of tho
water compelled temporary suspen
slon of work.
There Is abundant surface Indica
tion of oil all about the well. A stick
pushed Into the earth would result In
oil appearing in the hole and bubbling
up from the bottom. Mr. Ogden has
bought a well-enulpped drilling ma
chine, capable of drilling 1200 feet,
which, with cables, cost about $2500,
prd Is drilling a well six Inches In di
ameter. As tho depth has Increased
oil Is obtained from the "bucket"
vlth which the well Is cleared of ma
terial. The oil runs out with tho
water and saturates" the wood work
around the well, and the material
taken from the bottom contains oil.
As soon as the water recedes the
work will bo resumed and continued
until it Is settled whether there Is pe
troleum to be had somo 1200 feet
down. "Some day I shall send word
to Portland that we havo a gusher
down here, and then there will bo
somo excitement, won't there?" ex
claimed Mr. Ogden, hopefully.
MAY CAUSE
HUMP
Dromedaries Said to Become
Stimulated From Puffing
Cigars
There Is no reason why a drome
dary should not be partial to a good
cigar. Most dromedaries, according
to a menagerie proprietor, aro par
ticularly fond of tobacco smoke And
can be made to do almost anything
under its Influence.
"Travelers In Egypt," ho asserts,
"rely more on tobacco smoke for
their control over the huge beasts
than anything else. When traveling
on long Journeys tho dromedaries are
In many cases required to travel night
and day without rest, and the beasts
are kept up to their tasks by smoking
cigars. The driver carries a trian
gular piece of wood, which Is pierced
at ono point like a cigar holder. This
is Inserted in the mouth of the beast,
tho cigar being lit nnd pressed Into
tho hole In the samo fashion follow
ed by man.
"The dromedary Immediately closes
Its eyes and puffs away through Its
nostrils until the cigar Is burned
away. Tho Indulgence appears to re
fresh It, and the keeper has no dlfll
culty In persuading tho animal to
plod on without further rest." Pearson's.
