Following this for some three years he worked in the oil fields as a tool dresser, for one year was foreman of a pipe line, for one year worked in the Leechburg mill, and then was appointed mail carrier, the second appoint­ment on Route No. 1 out of Leechburg, be­ing thus engaged six and a half months. Then for eleven years he was engaged in drilling water wells, operating three machines in this work, and for three years was foreman for J. W. Crosby in the natural gas business. Subsequently he accepted a position as manager in the Gilpin and Acme Gas Companies' fields there and looked after the interests of these concerns.
