TBUBSTON ^"'^^ andFBO The Oil Mystery Confuses Experts The mystery regarding the Karstedt oil well deepent the farther ic is looked into, and the experts are all at sea re- gardinf; it. Cue of the mosi expert oil men in Canadaâ€" Mr. Scott of Tetroleaâ€" vi«itfd th«) well Friday at request of the Depart- ment of Mines and made an exhaustive inveitigation of the weD and surroundings and has no hesitation in i^ayin j th-it it it no soakage. Mr. Scutt haa spent tifty years of his life in the oil well business and has an acquaintances with all the oil fields in the wor!d. He candidly admits that this oil has "floored" him ; he has never seen any oil like it. He say!> the Calgary oil is the nearest approach to it he has seen with regard to color, but the <iuality is altogether diffeient. This oil, be declares, is a tine grade for small uiacbinery such as sewing machines and clocks â€" if the coal oil smell were only absent. He wrnt down the well and proved to bis own sati*factioa that it caoie in from the bottom and not at the sidvs, and expressed surprise at the quaDtity coming in. In order to prove that it could not be any leakage he had a five-foot hole dug close to Mr. Duncan's coal oil tank â€" the only possible source of supply for a leakage â€" and found that the soil gave off neither taste nor smell of coal oil. rhe quality of the clay throagh which he dug was alio a surprise to hin. Previous to coming here Mr. Scott did not know that any other experta bad ex- amined the well, and be c-ime to practi. cally th« same conclusion that the others had doneâ€" that it is a genuine oil tikd coming out at the bottom of the well, but the source of supply caunot be determin- ed with our present geological knuwledite. The quality of the oil, however, is such as be has never before seen. He says there is carbon in it, which is another puzzle to biin ; it i) like ordinary coal oil to burn, but leaves a carbon deposit on the wick and the color is several de- urees darker that coal oil It»ppea>.s to have little or no gasoline in it and i(< composed of pure coal oil mixed with 11 j.ier cent, of so.ne oiher oil or parrafine. Thif ii a composition that Mr. iScott has never known before, and it evidently puzzlvd and bothered Rim. He took a bottle of it home with him and will in- vite some of bis expert friends tu express their opinion on it. Recruits Wanted Lieut-Colonel W. N. Chisholm has re- ceived permission from Divisional Hi ad quarters to recruit a company of 250 men and five ofbcers from the 31bt Regiment for overseas aervice. This company which is the largest quota that the :U8t Ueginient has yet been permitted to raise will reinforce one of the battalions already organized, and will replace a draft of similar propoitionn which has already {{one overseas from that battalion. The battalion to which the company from the 'Hat Rogimeut will go has not yet been siwcitied. Steps are now being taken to coiiimence a recruiting campai(('j], to enroll men who are willinp to enlist in a Urey County company to be coiiiinanded by uthoer.'i from the 31st Regiment, and also when they will be available. It is expected that a lot of men wlo have not quite made up their minds t« volunteer tor active service, not knowing whom they would have as comrades, would be willing to go with a company of men whom they know. While rectuit- iaj; has been rather slow lately owing tu harvest operations, it is anticipated that plenty of men will be available from now on, and that little diHiculty will be ex- perienced in securing the required num- ber.

Booze Seized in Durham That there is a disreputable enutra - band trade in liquor being carried on in violation of the law is very evident from several occuriencus here this summer. The latest instance of the kind has been brought to light by tbe vigilance of Con- stable .'Vrrowsmith. While engaged in some of hip street duties he observed the express waggon go by, driven by Chas. Chislett, and two suspicious looking cases caught his eye. A trunk on the waggon was allowed to Ge delivered at a residence near the north- ern limits of the town and seeing the waggon ruturuing with the cases, he stepped up and found they were stamp- ed with the names Gooderham i Sea- gram and contained bottles of whiskey. He at once took possession and ordered the stuff into custody. One Oise was addressed to Robert Campbell, one of the Hydro employees, tbeii boarding at the Central. Tbe other *aB addressed to .\lex Crosbie, chauffeur for the Hunte.- family at the Hedges. Both gentlemen deiiy ownership and all connection with the stutt" and »re natur- ally indignant thht their names have been used in any inch connection. The Constable h"pe» to make some discovery that will lead to the exposure of the shipper and true coiisinnee. The case against the Middaugh House arising from the discovery of saleable liquor under the floor of the kitclun about a month ago, was to eoine to trial on Saturday, but the day previous the proprietor, before Magistrate Laidlaw, acknowledged the violation, and was hned 9^300, which was paid aud deposit- ed to the credit of the town i i the usual way. This makes a sum of $660.00 deposited by Mr. Laidlaw within a period of five or six weeks, and during the year over 9700 has been deposited as lines for il- licit liquor trade or from parties being found drunk in town. This cannot con- tinue a id if it does, we may rely on the vii^ance of tbe authorities in stamping out these fruits of the liqaor trafHc be- fore many moon*.

All night Saturday night the country and locks resounded with the shou s, son^s and laughter of the boisterous, happy throng going to harvest one of the greatest crops the western provinces ever grew. Sunday was reasouHlily quiet, ait most of the ett'ccts of G. aiiu V\ . and 8o cured in- wood had passed away and only the more mod- erate oneri had tny left to take for their stomach's sake.
