When an operator goes into an unde
veloped field and puts down a test well
he naturally desires to have the profit of
his risk. It costs him something like
$<‘>,000 to put down that wildcat well,
for which, in most cases, he gets no
return, for the majority of wildcat wells
produce nothing. If he finds a rich
sand, however, and can keep it a se
cret for a while, he has a fortune in his
hands. He can sell oil short, knowing
that when it is known that a new field
has been discovered the price will go
down. His most direct opportunity,
however, is to~lease the land in the
neighborhood of hts well.^to be sold
again at an enormous profit os soon as
it is known that it-is productive terri
tory. So he guards his scent with every
appliance he can intent. His most dan
gerous enemies are the “soonte.” They
are paid to discover what he ia trying to
conceal.
Alraoet every prominent oil broker
has e “5cbot ,r regularly employed to

He took his cooum-mcnt pleasantly for

Hamem a number of terms, and wad

oh my face, the old man's companion,
with a meaning wink at me, joined in
the chant, anusoon both the old lepers

in the sensuous measures of the hulu
hulu. It was a dance of death, indeed;
Punchinello's mask over a molding
skull; a rollicking revelry in a charnul
house; life mocking a gaping tomb.
'1 he medical profession here in Hon
olulu is in a terrific dispute about
what leprosy is. (!) and
it is contagious. This, of course, is an
old, old dispute, but it has been revived
with great violence by the assertion of
Dr. Hteh that it is, if not curable,
amenable in a large degree to treat
ment. and that il is notooniagious from
ordinary contact, jjuch as would de
mand the trans|x)rtation of Jepers in
to isolation. Dr. Fit h has ltcen here
two years, and naturally his joutlifnt

»• One trick we played to deceive the
scouts I think has never got into print.
I took a torpedo man into a room in the
hotel at Warren one day, very mysteri
ously, but took good care to have a
scout see me do it. Of course the scout
immediately hid himself in the adjoin-
whether or not ‘ n F rooni. I told the shooter, with my
voice trembling, that I had put my last
dollar .into the 646 venture, and had
found no oil. I must get some appear
ance of grease in order to sell my lease
and get out whole. I arranged with him
to go out that night and torpedo the
well. Well, we went out with a make-
Relieve torpedo filled with water. The
scouts were at our heels, of course,
and watched every motion. Wc went
to the well in the dead of night, and
there went through th* form of shooting
the well so accurately that even the
