HOLE HOW 6,060 FEE! DEEP Reaching Down For New Oil Records In Unknown Rock Strata. THE LONGEST STRING OK PIPE What Is to bo the deepest well In tho world Is being drilled by the Peoples' Natural (las Company ou the Geary farm, In Washington county. It Is a short distance from tho famous McDonald oil Held, where the largest oil wells east of tho Rocky mountains were drilled more than 20 years ago. A remarkable feature of tho pro ject is that the well contains the longest string of pipe ever put into a liolo In tho ground. This Is of 6 -Inch special casing, and there la 6,053 feet of it, 483 feet more pipe than tho total depth of the deepest well previously drilled in Pennsylvania. This well was drill ed byjhe Forest Oil Company, near Elizabeth, Allegheny couritj" andat tained a depth of 5,570 feet, where operations were stopped by the loss of three strings of drilling and fish ing tools. The Geary farm well is now the deepest in tho United States 6,060 feet and drilling in tho ferrifer ous lime. Barring accident, It will he drilled to tho Trenton rock, 8, 000 feet, the lowest oil producing formation in tho world. With tho equipment in use. President John G. Pew, of the company, believes tho chance is good for reaching the goal. fr. Pew and John B. Corrin yos torilay gave much Interesting In formation concerning tho well, which has been under way for 15 months. It is being drilled for in formation, and records of progress and strata are being kept by the United States Geological Survey, with the company's permission. These will be of value to hundreds besides those making tho heavy in vestment. Formations were found regular for nearly half tho way, that Is, to tho fourth and fifth sands, where the McDonald oil was found. Be low that it lias been difficult to Identify the well known oil and gas producing strata. There was nothing to correspond with such well known sands as tho Spcechley and Bradford and Tiona and Cooper Hill nro wanting. Tiie drilling has been mainly In soft and broken rock. Two serious caves not cav erns have been encountered be low tho McDonald " sand, ono of them just above tho ferriferous lime. In oil and gas parlance a, cavo is rock that caves in, filling tho hole. These very deep caving shales have been less dllllcult to handle from tho drillers' point of view than they might have been, be causo no water has been found be low tho salt sand. Several small g'as puffs have been found. Tho expansion of these has Interfered materially with tho taking of nccurato tem peratures at tho bottom. Tho geo logical survey obtained a tempera ture of 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and the company had previously se cured ono nearly 20 degrees high er, before tho gas had cooled tho hole. These correspond nearly to observations elsewhere and to tho accepted theories of temperatures below tho surface. They nro nearly tho sumo aa temperatures taken at similar depthH in tho SImplon tun nel. The Inrgent flow of gas found Is tho latest and comes from tho ferrif erous lime. This was at more than 0,000 feot and because It blow tho drilling water up tho walls, tho black slato caved and tho drilling tools were stuck. A string of fish HE HAD UNRULY HAIR. Couldn't do a thing with It. Stood In very direction at once, then In noillrao tion. This wa .before he used Hall's Hair Rone wer. Now bis hair looks well kept, stars In place. The scalp Ii clean and healthy. Hair I growing (aster. No dandruff. No falling hair. Not the slight est danger of coloring the hair. ing tools wns lost In trying to got tho others out. Then tho hole was renmod down to ncrommodnto the 6 -Inch casing to tho bottom, the tcols were easily extracted and tlio C.053 feot of casing Ineorted. Tho accldont happened In April of Inst year and most of tho Interven ing nine months has boon occupied In remedying tho trouble. Flvo hundred feot below tlw top of tho ferriferous lino tho Clinton sand should bo found tho deep oil producing rock of Southeastern Ohio, that hns led to tho develop ment In Perry, Hocking and other counties there. Tho Trenton, which produces tho bad smelling oil of Northwestern Ohio, Indiana and Ontnrlo province, lies 1,500 feot decpar, It has never been pene trated by fio drill east of Ashland county, Ohio. Tho mechanical outfit of this drop well will Interest oil men and oil well workers. To furnish mo tlvo power there aro two boilers of 25-horcpowor each nnd n 45 horsepowor engine. Tho derrick Is about 40 feot square at tho bottom and 110 feet high. (The ordinary modern deep, territory derrick Is 20 feet baso and 80 feot high.) Tho corners of tho derrick aro doublo planked, 2x10 inches, all tho way up and strengthened by square timbers 6x6 Inches Insldo tho planks. Steel cnblo is used for drilling. It Is one-inch diameter at tho ropo socket, for a length of about 2,000 feet, then it tapers for 1,000 feet or so to a diameter of 1 V4 Inches There Is a long strand- of this size and another tapering strand In creasing It to 1 4 'Inches. This con struction keeps down tho total strain nnd increases tho strength as tho strain Increases. The long string of special casing weighs ap proximately 65 tons tho pipe about 20 pounds to the foot and tho 10-inch couplings bring up tho total to tho figue named. It was handled over tho crown pully In tho usual nVaft'nerT" and "Mr. Fow"says the only trouble they had was when lifting to roleaso the elevators as the Joints were added. This well is being watched close ly by other oil and gas companies In tho region, and is an object of Interest to the army of men engag ed in the two industries In this country. It Is even of interest to the merely curious, since It Is ex ploring depths unknown even to science. Its further progress will be in tho realm of original discov ery. Pittsburg Post. ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL IS NOW COMPULSORY Upon Children of School A Synopsis of Legis lative Act. Age Under a legislative act of 1910 all pupils between tho ages of seven to 16, Inclusive, are required to at tend school, with the following ex ceptions: 1. Children who are attending other bchools, or .who aro being taught systematically at home in a regular course of study. Home taught children, junder tho law, are subject to regular examinations same as those taught In the public schools. 2. Invalid children, or children physically or intellectually unable to go to school, may be excused upon producing a health certificate from tho city or county health ofll cer. 3. Provided, further, a child be tween 14 and 16 years of ago may bo excused If he holds an omnlov- mont certificate. But no employ ment certificate can be Issued to a child who has not been taught in spelling, reading, writing, English, geography and tho fundamental operations In arithmetic, up to and Including common fractions. Theso qualifications require a public school courso to tho sixth grade. Any person employing a child bo tween the ages of 14 nnd 16, who has not these qualifications, and who has not an employment cortl llcato to that effect, lays himself llablo to a heavy fine. The truant officer nnd tho superintendent, whoso duty It is to enforce tho law, have no disposition to causo any ouo trouble, hut they will lay themselves llablo to a Btlll heavior fine If thoy fail to enforce the law. It Is hoped and expected that all friends of public education will tako notice of these statements and bo governed acordlngly. .Misunderstanding the Bible,, "Why doesn't tho baby talk?" asked the small girl of tho young mother. "Ho can't talk yet, 'dear; small babies never do," said the mother. "Oh, yes they do." said tho small girl. "Job did for nurse read to me out of the Bible how Job cursed the day he was born." THEY FAILED 10 GET AUDIENCE With Thomas Qnllaher, of, Belfast, Ireland. I COHTEE THEN ADJOURNED Statement Says Remaining: Unsold Weed May Be Redried and Prized. ADVANCKS Willi HE EXTENDED The Owonsboro Inquirer of Wed nesday, snvr Aftr making several . attempts to get nn audience with Thomas Gnllaher, of Belfast, Ireland, but In which they have nbsolutely failed, the sales committee of tho Equity organization announced that they would flnallv adjourn. Mr. Gallaher arrived in Owens boro Tuesday at noon and la regis tered at the Rudd. Junt how long ho will remain In Owonsboro Is ono question thnt possibly only Mr. Gal loher himself knows, as several per sons In Henderson who nro anxious to learn when he will leavo for that city havp been unnblo to find out. Mr. Gnllaher. brought his- trunk with him, and he Is quoted as say ing that he is so well pleased with the treatment accorded him In Ow ensboro. that ho will probably re main hero for somo time. The officials of the Equity organ i7at!on extended an invitation to Mr. Gnllaher to call on them nt its headquarters on West Third street. Tho officials remained In session nearly tho entire day, but were sorely disappointed when they dls- Hrorwred about 2 oVI-eck that H-rr- Gallaher had left the Budd House to spend the rest of the afternoon at his largo tobacco factory on West Ninth street. The officials of the organization believed that by the presence of one of the largest independent buyers In the world there wns still a prob ability of disposing of tho rest of tho pool, hut nil further hopes van ished when it was sen that they could not get an nudlenco with the gentleman from Belfast. It is understood that Mr. Galla her has no desire to purchTinS any of the Equity tobacco, nor did he want any of the tobacco pooled with tho Green River organization, aa neither had tho variety of tobacco this year that he was desirous of purchasing. Mr. Gallaher has de clared that the Stemming district tobacco, not a pound of which has been sold, was not much better, and that he did not want any of It. He has also stated that he had a largo supply of tobacco on hand, and that when ho bought, his purchases would include nothing but tho best types of the weed. As the result of falling to get an audience with Mr. Gallaher, tho sales committee hns Issued the fol lowing official statement: The sales committee of the A. S. of E. nnd tho Homo Warehouse were In session to-day. Tho com mittee is making plans where by the tobacco at nil tho points now unsold can be redried and prized, advances being mado on tho tobacco as It is received. All of theso ar rangements will, of course, have to bo ratified by tho poolers nt those points. Should the poojers accopt theso plans, the deliveries can shortly commence." Are Vou u Cold Sufferer?
