ARNErrsvILLE, W. Va, May 2l.-FOr
a few weeks the oil excitement has been
great, along what is generally termed the
oil belt, in this and the adjoining section
Of Marion county, and leasing has been the
one business that lead all Others. 1t is
hardly necessary to say anything here
about the Mt. Morris field. That has
already had the benefit Of the public press.
When the Mt. Morris field was found TO
be of rather narrow limits, one of the
pioneer developers sought new field by
coming further South, and commenced a
test well on Dolls run, near what was
termed the belt line. The well lately tap
ped the sand sud gave indications Of being
GOOD. This, of course, put al the opera
tors and also the spectators on the wing
to obtain territory, but II was found that
the most OF the territory was already
covered by leases. Then the rush and
squabble for the remaining or Unbiased
parcels IN the belt.

said about them being so badly kept were

equivalent to four paving stones. The
work OF splitting up the big block Is gen
orally done by helper whom the block
maker hires, paying him Sl.75 or $500
per day. The work OF cutting paving
stones seems very simple. With a COM
mon stone mason's ax the cutter marks on
two sides OF his block the paving stone,
gives II few sharp taps, and the paving
block splits oil neatly and clean as pine
board. There is rare art in the work,
however, as tho visitor, seeing how easy II
is done. finds out when he undertakes TO
cut one. An amateur who goes TO work
on q paving block with ill-directed force
Will soon find that II grows round under
his ministrations. A good block-maker,

can cut $50 blocks day,
which will leave him good wages.
The polishing OF granite blocks Is to-
dious and ingenious process. II is done
entirely by machinery invented for the
purpose. Small globules of chilled iron
are first used, followed by emery Of differ
grades, and, finally, with the soltest and
most impalpable putty powder. II re-
quires all OF twenty-iour hours steady
work to polish surface 3x3 feet. The
granite columns which are so ornamental

looking west, suggests an entire herd Of

his littloness when walking In the
shadows OF these unknown giants OF an
unknown age. Scientific writers advance
various theories rs TO the phenomenon.
Some hold that the place was once the
center Of a vast maelstrom and that the
great stones were rolling in the seothing
caldron for ages, until they took on their
spherical shapes. Others hold that they
were thrown up by volcanic upheayal.
But they know nothing more about II than

AN ENORMOUS INCREASE.
DIRECT APPROPRIATIONS DURING THE
PAST THREE MONTHS.
A Record That Appeals at Once, and
strongly.to the Merchants OF Memphis
to Patronizs the Local Customs
once.

Following Is a list OF importers who pa
tronize the facilities offered by the Custom
House, Memphis, during the three months,
january, FEBRUARY and March, 1889, and
opposite their names appear tho values OF
their imports.
The rapid increase Of the receipts and
the liberal patronage by the merchants of
Memphis is due to the superior advantages
offered by this port, which have been at
tanned through the efforts Of the present
surveyor OF customs, Capt. Thomas +.
Tobin.
During his administration the receipts Of
the Customs Office have increased 500 per
cent, the result Of which has been to liter
ally elevate the Memphis Office from one
OF insignifcance to that Of Importance in
the eyes OF the department. Capt. Tobin
has accomplished task and gained an adj
vantage for the merchants OF Memphis in
which his predecessors tried and failed
that OF bonding the Anchor Line steamers
from New Orleans to Memphis-thus af-
fording the merchants OF this city all the
advantages OF competition in transporta-
ton OF their goods, both by rail and water.
The different bonded transportation COM
panies at New York and New Orleans, the
ports OF first arrival, have co-operated
with the Surveyor OF this port, and con-
signments from foreign countries como
through with the least detention possible.
Then, in consideration OF the accom-
plishmonts of Capt. Tobn, should not the
merchants Of this city patronize their
home collection port, instead OF having
their goods released at ports Of first ar
arrival, where brokerge and commission
are exacted by the agents releasing the
goods?
