and some five weeks will be consumed
in erecting it and getting the
machinery in place. The drilling
machine alone cost $0,000, and is
built to go down 5,000 feet. It came
from Los Angelos. The company
will begin with a hole 14 inches in
diameter, and is prepared to go to
the last inch of the 5,000 feet unless
oil is struck sooner. Mr. Gates says
that the company lias no stock to
sell, but the members have had ex

states that if they strike oil there it

Funeral services were held there, and

after much prayer, and careful ex
amination of the situation, he came
to I lalio to take the lead in building
up an educational institution, and
when he came it was to give himself
wholly to this work; and, also, to
become identified with the commun

in the development of the state. In

true charity illumined his heart, and
while he protested against wrong, he
never entertained ill will, nor used

It was natural for him to

to a cull to duty, and he undertook,
here, in our midst, two burdens,
either of which was enough for any
man; the care of the church and of
the school. 1 am sure that all who
were connected with either of these
enterprises would say that he served
well. Perhaps it was this double
duty that broke down his health

Few, perhaps would, under the cir

we may well realize the truth
of the other portion of that magnilij

Mr. Upton believed that education

an inspiration and an incentive for
the best kind of living
In his intellectual life and pro
cesses, Mr Upton presented the high
est possible argument in favor of a
thorough education.- 1 lis was a
trained mind, and it was easy for
students under him to realize its ad
vantages, and this sight formed an
incentive to effort.
So, also,, in spiritual things his life
was the best kind of preaching of
righteousness. How naturally it led
to thoughts of chris'ain consecration,
and while we speak of him as hav
ing passed away, yet we know he
still lives and will continue to live
while time shall last, in the trans
formed and elevated lives of many
of his pupils and his people, and in
tile lasting results of those trans
formations.
