HARVEY'S CAFE

Butte Avenue, in the building formerly occupied by Vaughn

The place will be entirely remodeled, and fitted up in the
finest style. The aim of the owner, J. C. Harvey, who has

Those reminiscences of early days
in Box Butte county that were pub
lished in The Herald have struck a
popular chord with the old-timers
and tbe young-old-timers. And as a
result we're learning more about the
country of our adoption every day.
Contributions on these subjects, be it
known, are always welcome. Here's
another one that arrived the first of
the week.

NEW OSAGE GUSHER
TESTS 1,728 BARRELS
The greatest well in the world for
quantity and quality of production at
the depth of 1335 feet has been prov
en with a test on the gusher on sec
tion 19, which when opened last
week flowed seventy-barrels an hour,
says the Newcastle News-Journal.
Oil men of standing declare that no
where is a well of this depth pro
ducing 1800 barrels, while no other
well on record can hold up with the
quality below a 1,000 feet. A dally
production of 1800 barrels is beyond
the estimate of most conservative oil
men who placed the production al
1,000 barrels. A price of $3.95 in
Omaha gives some idea of what
Osage oil in quantities as has been
revealed through a test of the gusher
will amount to.
A good showing of Qil has been
encountered on sectlno 15-64-46 by
a Pueblo, Colo., syndicate and a
well has brought in at 280 feet on
section 31. The well on 15 lies at
tbe outer edge and proves a wide
strip hitherto unknown.
A deal Involving 120,000 was
closed Tuesday when W. F. Willetts,
former geologist of the famous Trap
shooter well in Eldorado, Kas.,
bought 320 acres on section 14-46-64
from Feagin and Mortimer.
The Nee-No-She- Bll company is
placing a heavy rig on section 9-45-
63 which ground is under lease from
the Updike Interests.
Persistent rumor here last week
of a new gusher has not been con
firmed although it is known that any
one of three wells would strike the
producing sands within a short time.
