is also the German Consul. Mr.. Chambers
said the statement, which was issued pri-
vately to his clients, was accurate and had
evidently been prepared with great care.
From this it appears there are 600 rigs Gov.
ering the principal plateaux Of
Balakhany-Sabouchy to the northeast.
Three-fourths of these wells are producers,
the annual yield being about 1000, 600 tons.
There are 20 pipe lines to carry the oil to
the refining point, Which is called "Black
City," on the shore of the Caspian Sea- A
feet of SO tank steamers and 800 sailing
vessels, with carrying capacity of loo, 600
tons, are engaged in transporting the oil on
the Caspian Sea to Astrakhan. Five thou
sand tank cars cross the heights of Souram,
which is the outlet to foreign countries by
way of Batoum. At Batoum are establish
ments which manufacture $4,000, 900 cases
annually and pack and ship 20, ,000, ,OoOpoods
(1OO pools to IL barrels) to the extreme
Orient, East Indies, Japan, China, etc.
Unlimited Capital Invested.
The business of bulk transportation has
lately sprung into great Importance and Mr..
Deneys says is paralyzing the expectation
in packages The amount of capital in
vested is estimated at SG5, 900, 900. The
amount invested in tank cars is estimated at
S4, 600, 900, much of which is idle since the
opening of the Souram tunnel The

with sort of fle-like motion, and nothing
could stand long against it. On the first
glrth of the derrick was an iron floor, put
there for just such an emergency to keep
the oil from going up into theiderrick. The
connections at the mouth of the well gave
way and the tremendous flow of sand and
oil up against the iron floor actually cut it
through
''The derrick was braced in every con-
ceivable way, and was as strong as der
rick could be made, but when the volume of
oil broke its way up through the iron floor.
the derrick was soon battered to pieces and
in few minutes there was nothing left of il

PEELED the owner of the well to repaint their
houses, and this and other damage done by
the well, made it cost its unfortunate owner
over Sf00, 0,00O."
The Water Is Expensive.
The scarcity of water In the Baku field at
times makes the item of water an important
one in the cost of pumping wells. There
are times when the water costs 2JS cents a
barrel 1t is salt water at that, and of course
destructive to boilers The railroads carry
oil to Batoum, $50 miles over q grade almost
impossible, for 80 cents barrel.
Mr. Chambers placed in my hands for the
benefit OF DISPATCH readers, statement Of
the leading features of the Russian industry,
issued by Deneys & Co. at Baku. Deneys
is prominent figure in the trade there and

same cost something like 80 times as much
as they do now. Handles, notwithstanding
that lumber was much more plentiful than
at present, cost from $50 to $50 a thousand;
and now they are sold at 81 80 per thou.
sand. Then they cost from five to eight
cents apiece, and now they cost less than
one-thlrteenth of cent apiece.
Why Brooms Are Not Cheaper.
1t may be asked why brooms are not
cheaper, especially as they are now sewn 6y
machinery and not by hand as then, but the
answer is readily forthcoming. There are
combinations, or trusts, that keep up prices,
ana broom corn now costs four or tve times
as much as it did.
The suggestion forces itself that as farm
ing land is cheap and broom corn dear many
mechanics who are now pulling stern chase
and fighting an uphill battle with corporate
and other capital might do better to raise
broom corn, and there are many other
outlets for energetic men which might be
discovered. While thousands of skilled
mechanics are on the verge of want in cities,
farmers cannot get help, and one is tempted
to ask why many mechanics do not try
special farming. They are. as class, intels
ligent and while they and their families
might have less ready cash at some seasons
OF the year if engaged at farming, they
"oulo always have plenty to eat, pure ar
and water and infinitely more comfort than
when crowded in dusty, sitting city.
Many people, both among employers and
employees, have come to the conclusion that
If Pittsburg is to be permanently prosperous
so.-e method of settling labor disputes must
be adopted, while others say the question
will settle itself in time, as they think labor,
like any other commodity, will eventually
settle to its market value, just as other
commodities do; but these people are forced
to admit that in the meantime there will be
much disorganization and loss, and it would
be better for all concerned that each assist
to prevent the periodical revulsions that
now upset the calculations of both classes.

the American well is at the surface The
average depth is about 800 feet, though wells
have been sunk to the depth of ], 400 feet
'and found oil at that level In Roumania
a good well was struck at ], 400 feet Some
wells are producing at 1850 feet, but the
majority of the producers are about 300
feet deep. The drilling is not done with
the American tools, but with what are called
'wire TOOLS" wire being used instead of
rope. There Is great deal of quicksand to
go through, and "crooked holes" are fire.
quent and troublesome 1t is not an un-
common thing for well to be year drill
ing, and Mr.. Chambers says he has known of
wells that were two and three years under
way.
Three Americans in the Field.
There are but three Americans in the
Baku field. These are William Baird,
formerly of the Clarendon, Pa, field; Henry
McCarty, at one time with John Fertig, of
Titusville, and L. D. Galligan, of Tidioute,
Pa, who is John Eaton's representative in
the Russian field. Outside of these three
all are Russians, Armenians, Tartars, etc.
Henry McCarty drilled some wells near
Batoum for Sir Peter Tate, who seems to
have been a nobleman in title only, and it
is the impression among the oil people that
Mn McCarty was an extensive loser through
him.
Mr.. Baird has machine shoprin the field,
