THE BIG SOUTHWEST.
McDonald's Great Production In
creaseS the General Output.
SOME SOLID FACTS AND FIGURES.
Glorious Gushers Which We're Drilled 70
the Pay Saturday.
SOUTHWEST MCUIDY PRODUCER

The great and only feature of the oil
country for the past month is the McDon-
aid field. il is the principal and, in fact,
the only territory which can properly be
classed in the southwest district Its pro-
duction has jumped from 1880
barrels per day, which was the
average for last month, to 47,5O5
barrels, which is the average for the month
of October. There are Sc dry holes reported
for October, which is an increase of four
over the number reported for Sep
tember. The number of completed
wells, however, falls short of those
which were drilled through the
fifth sand in September. In October
there were only 125 wells finished, while in
September there were 139. The entire new
production for the month of October was
1888 barrels while in September it was
only II ,926 barrels, or an increase of 81, 452
barrels There are at present pa
wells drilling in the southwest
against 277 in September. This, however,
is offset by 157 rigs to 7S in September,
more than twic. the number of the month
previous. There has been decrease of
work in the upper country fields which has
decreased the total amount of work in
all of the fields combined The
average production of the completed wells
in the southwest, minus the dry holes, has
been $50 barrels. against 123 barrels to a
well in September. Everything tends to
show that October was the greatest
month in the oil business es-
pecially in the southwest district, and
there are enough wells due within the next |
two weeks to lead to the belief that the pro- |
duction may GO higher than it has at any |
time yet. The great feature of the field |
yesterday was Patterson & Jones No. Q on |
the kelso farm, which was making 400 bar |
Vsls an hour, or over 1900 barrels a |
dav Saturday. 1t is located in the south

The Oil Markets.
Considerable business was tranacted, clear
ances for the six days aggregating 24s,o0o

highest point touched was 60ssc and the low

passengers grandchild of one who trav-
eled on his first trains, and often sees wom-
en- who first travelled with him on half fare
and are now taking their own children at
that rate.
He began as brakeman in March, 1874,
became freight conductor the same year,
rose in the regular order to the control of a
mixed train, and since 1868 has been run
ming the regular passenger train between
Pittsfeld and North Adams, doubling the
route two or three times a day, as it may
happen. His first freight engine weighed
ten TONS and could pull but ten small
freight cars loaded; now the road engines
weigh sixty tons, haul thirty large cars
over steep grades and do not have one
fourth the delays they did.
Mr. WILDER is very positive the winters
were formerly much worse on railroads
than now. 1t was u common thing in the
fifties for trains to stick in the snow all
day, and as late as the winter of 1851 he
was on a passenger train which was blocked
two days. The passengers tore down all
the adjacent fences to keep from freezing,
while the strongest men waded to the
neighboring farmhouses for food. Once
his engine was thrown from the track and
his collar bone broken, the only serious
hurt he ever received.

Various reasons determine the desira-

DIES MONIES, Ia, Oct. 27.-General James
B. Weaver, who in 1880 ran for the presi
dency of the United States as the candi-
date of the Greenback Labor party, lives
in Des Moines, and what time he can spare
from politics he devotes to the practice of
the law. He is now a jealous advocate of
uniting under the banner of the Farmers
Alliance all Of those who are dissatisfied
with the conduct and policies of the Dem
ocrats and Republicans At the Cincin-
natl convention or conference last spring
General Weaver was conspicuous lin his
recommendation that a third national
party be formed to contest the next presi-
Dental election.
Since that meeting he has spent much
time in travelling in those states where the
Farmers Alliance is particularly strong,
and not long ago, when he had returned to
his home from long campaign in the
south and west, he said that the Alliance
political outlook was very bright, and that
the party would not only have a candidate
for the presidency, but in the next con-
gress would organize caucus and nomi-
nate candidate for the speakership of the
house.
General Weaver appears to have lost
none of the vigor and enthusiasm which
made him notable figure when he was in
congress some ten or a dozen years ago.
He was then the ever ready advocate of any
legislation increasing the pensions OF sol
diers, but his chief fight was for printing
ereenbacks, to be used as money in the
place of coin. During the war he was a
good soldier and rose from the ranks to
the post of colonel. When the conflict was
over he received the brevet of brigadier
general for meritorious service and gal
Iantry in action.
