Rattling Over Rough Roads with Loads of Nitro-Glycerine to Shoot Wells on the Sly—The Roberts Patient—Two Anglers Startled. Warren, Pa., June 12.—Two men were trout fishing in a stream near Sheffield, in the Warren oil region, a few days ago. A partridge, frightened from her nest by the approach of the fishermen, flew from a clump of bushes near the edge of the creek. One of the anglers drew his pistol and fired after the bird. The report of the pistol was followed by an explosion that shook the earth. Both men perished. A large hornlock and gullies and projecting rocks. Drawn by powerful horses, these wagons, loaded with sixty or a hundred quarts of one of the most destructive explosives known, and which a sudden jar is at any moment likely to explode, are driven by their reckless owners over these roads in the darkest nights at the top of their horses' speed. The men work at night always. They are called moonlighters, but the absence of the moon does not prevent them from undertaking a job. The Roberts Company has a wonderful detective system, which is constantly employed in ferreting out the trespassers in the torpedo patent. It frequently happens that a moonlighter is spotted as he starts out on his nocturnal missions. The moonlighter rarely fails to be aware of the fact when he is followed by one of Robert's men. Then it is a race between the two. If the moonlighter cannot evade the detective and finish his job, he manages to secrete his nitro-glycerine in the bushes, old buildings, barns, or other outbuildings of farms, or in any place where he is most likely to be able to recover it for use on a more auspicious occasion. Thus it happens that these dangerous storehouses are liable to be come upon at any time by people passing through the woods or along the streams, or by the farmers whose premises have been utilized. The cost of torpedoing a well under the Roberts patent averages $250. The moonlighter will shoot it for less than half of that. Thus the saving effected if the work is not discovered is a great temptation to a certain class reputation the crowd believes would like nothing better; going up the town and its even if he disappeared in same time; so they allow pass on. An Australian farmer tells the Leader that he has made his station pay him $250 to $350 year, and in some cases much manufactures the arrowroot and the finished article.

A partridge, frightened from her nest by the approach of the fishermen, flew from a clump of bushes near the edge of the creek. One of the anglers drew his pistol and fired after the bird. The report of the pistol was followed by an explosion that shook the earth. Both men were prostrated. A large hemlock tree was shattered as if it had been struck by lightning. Earth and stones were showered about in all directions. The astonished and frightened men arose to their feet as soon as they could collect their senses. Ten rods away they saw a hole in the ground several feet in diameter, which had been made by the explosion. One of the fishermen was an oil operator, and he knew that the pit had been made by a nytro-glycerine explosion. The spot had been selected by a "moonlighter," no doubt, in which to secrete a loaded shell of the kind used in "shooting" oil wells, until he could find an opportunity of evading the vigilance of the Roberts torpedo detectives. The pistol ball had struck the shell, and the concussion exploded it. These improvised magazines are scattered all through the oil regions. "Moonlighting" is a peculiar industry that owes its existence to the patent laws. The late Col. E. A. Roberts introduced the use of nitro-glycerine torpedoes in increasing the yield of oil wells. When the great flowing wells of Oil Creek, after draining the petroleum pools of the lower field for three years, had exhausted the supply, as was supposed, Col. Roberts experimented on an abandoned well with a quantity of nitro-glycerine, confined in a tin shell and exploded bycussion. The explosion was followed by a flow of oil, and the old well yielded thirty barrels of oil a day for several years afterward. The nitro-glycerine had shattered the oil-bearing rock and opened the paraffine-clogged veins. While serving in the army, Col. Roberts noticed that a bomb-shell exploding beneath water invariably spent its force on the bottom of the stream, throwing up mud and stones in great quantities. This was due, he supposed, to the solid fluid Thus it happens that these dangerous storehouses are liable to be come upon at any time by people passing through the woods or along the streams, or by the farmers whose premises have been utilized. The cost of torpedoing a well under the Roberts patent averages $250. The moonlighter will shoot it for less than half of that. Thus the saving effected if the work is not discovered is a great temptation to a certain class of producers. If detected, however, the penalty is heavy. The Roberts price for the torpedoing must be paid, and whatever damages may be assessed. If the well is an old one and has been shot to increase its yield, the value of the increased yield up to the time the damages are assessed is added to the cost of detected illicit torpedoing. When Col. Roberts died recently, his income was about $1,000 a day. He had been separated from his wife and family for several years. Mrs. Roberts had begun divorce proceedings against him, and they were pending at the time of his death. A nephew of the deceased man, a resident of Bradford, Pa., was made his heir. The nephew voluntarily transferred a third of the wealth he inherited to each of the two children of the dead inventor, keeping the other third himself. Appraisers of the estate of Col. Roberts have been seven weeks engaged in fixing its value. Their duties are accompanied with a risk that the appraisers of no dead man's property probably ever ran before. They are obliged to visit all the nitro-glycerine safes in the oil region, examine, and place a value on their contents. There are thirty of these magazines connected with the estate in the Bradford field alone. These magazines each contain from 1,000 to 10,000 pounds of the explosive. While the appraisers were cautiously creeping about in one of them which contained 2,000 pounds other day, a driver of a Roberts nitro-glycerine wagon came tearing up to the safe with his team at the usual break-neck rate. He had been out torpedoing wells. He had seven twenty-pound cans left. These he brought into the magazine, carrying two under each arm, one in each hope. People form pests images of the saints, and many fields. A dry west wind is intermission, and not a cloud sky. This is accompanied by high temperature. As if this enough, the embryo of a locus caused wide devastation in so far out of town.

The nitro-glycerine had shattered the oil-bearing rock and opened the paraffine-clogged veins. While serving in the army, Col. Roberts noticed that a bomb-shell exploding beneath water invariably spent its force on the bottom of the stream, throwing up mud and stones in great quantities. This was due, he supposed, to the solid fluid tamping above the explosive. It was this idea that led him to try the experiment of nitro-glycerine at the bottom of oil wells, beneath hundreds of feet of fluid tamping—oil and water collected in the well. He obtained patients on his device. The validity of the patents was questioned, and nitro-glycerine torpedoes were used by others without paying royalty to Roberts. He brought nearly 5,000 suits to protect his rights. One of these, as a test, was carried through all the State courts and to the United States Supreme Court. Roberts won in every court and nearly a million dollars in royalties was recovered. The monopoly in nitro-glycerine torpedoes led to the illicit use of them in wells. Men without fear of death or regard for law went into the business of "shooting" wells for producers who did not care to pay tribute to Roberts. Any one has a right to manufacture nitro-glycerine and place torpedoes in wells. In the exploding of them lies the liability to prosecution and penalty. The moonlighter is always ready to contract for the shooting of a well. He carries his nitro-glycerine in wagons made especially for the purpose. They are buckboards, with cushioned apartments under the seat, into which the cans are placed. The roads of the oil regions would scarcely be called roads elsewhere. When not hub deep with mud, they are stretches of deep ruts. While the appraisers were cautiously creeping about in one of them which contained 2,000 pounds the other day, a driver of a Roberts nitro-glycerine wagon came tearing up to the safe with his team at the usual break-neck rate. He had been out torpedoing wells. He had seven twenty-pound cans left. These he brought into the magazine, carrying two under each arm, one in each hand, and rolling the other along the floor of the safe with his foot. The six cans he tumbled on the floor as if they had been sticks of wood. The appraisers lost no time in getting out of that magazine. When a nitro-glycerine wagon is met on the road, every other vehicle gives it all the way its driver sees fit to ask. The carrying of this explosive in any but the wagons arranged for its transportation is forbidden by law, but it is not an uncommon thing to see some dare-devil driver jolting over the rough roads with cans of it knocking about in the bottom of an ordinary wagon. Carrying of nitro-glycerine through towns is punishable by heavy fines; but as it requires a rather bold officer to chase a man who is carrying with him material that may explode at any moment, it is not an exceedingly rare sight to see drivers on their way to wells taking a short and easier cut through towns and villages with their stock of nitro-glycerine. A driver was some time ago discovered passing through one of the Bradford suburbs with a load of nitro-glycerine. The residents protested, and an officer halted the man to arrest him. The driver took one of his cans, raised it above his head, and informed the crowd that if any one attempted to interfere with him he would throw the can against a rock by the roadside, and not three feet away. The man was a moonlighter, and from his "The STEARNS RANCHOS." ALFRED ROBINSON. TRUSTEE 120 Sutter St., San Francisco. An Australian farmer tells the Melbourne Leader that he has made his arrowroot plantation pay him $250 to $350 per acre each year, and in some cases much more. He manufactures the arrowroot and sells only the finished article. The refuse is used to feed animals with. Four tons of roots to one acre are not an unusual crop, and will make over one ton of marketable arrowroot. The roots are grated down in water, on a wooden wheel armed with a band of perforated tin, like the ordinary horseradish grater. The particles of fine flour-like substance are then washed clean, dried and packed in proper parcels. In all this there is a suggestion for Southern California. Can someone who has warm, rich land grow an acre of arrowroot, pile up the crop, and manufacture it at spare moments, so as to count the returns as clear profits? It would certainly seem worth a test. Returns of $250 per acre from a field crop are worth drying for. An extreme drought is the cause of great anxiety among the population of the district of Orenburg in Russia. The crops have failed for three successive years, and the danger that now is impending seems to stille all hope. The people form processions, with images of the saints, and march about the fields. A dry west wind is blowing without intermission, and not a cloud appears in the sky. This is accompanied by an unusually high temperature. As if this were not bad enough, the embryo of a locust that last year caused wide devastation in some places has been found in large numbers about the fields.
