TIE WEEKLY OIL REVIEW.
The Week Was Very Quiet in the
Local Fields.
The Early Part Of the Week in the
Sistersville Field Produced Moth
ing But Dry Holes and the Latter
Only Good Wells-What is Going
on in Other West Virginia Terri
tory-General Field News.

The past week in oil circles has been
of little moment for the reason that
during the greater part of that period
there was virtually nothing of any
importance outside OF a couple of wells
drilled in by the South Penn in their
new find out on Flat Run near Man
nington. From the size of these wells
when drilled in and their staying quail
tiles, one would infer there was quite
a pool in that section. In the other
districts of the Warrington field there
was nothing Of an important nature re-
ported. The South Penn drilled in
several good wells, as did also Hartman
& Co., but they were all in defined linn
its and no importance attached to them
outside Of the amount of production
and that was Of interest TO none but the
owners of the wells and the pipe line
companies The production in that
section was increased during the week
perhaps 1900 barrels.
Work on the important test wells in
the southern counties Of the State is
progressing very nicely, and it is prob
able that within the next ten days
something Of importance will be heard
from Putnam. Cabeil, Richie, bod
bridge and other counties in which
tests are being made. Perhaps one Of
the most important wild cats nov drill
ling is that OF the Philadelphia I and
Gas Company. On the Franks farm. out
in the Middle Island district, in Tyler
county. This well is located q short
distance west of the we'll recently drill
led in by the Kanawha oil Company,
on the .. and Il. Williamson farm, and
Is almost the last hope in that section.
The well Is not located a great distance
from the famous Dye-BrCOks freaks,
and the operators are fondly hoping
that it viii be the light TO show them
out Of the gloom that has settled over
that section. This we'll will probably
be in the sand during the next ten days
and the operators are watching Il very
closely.
There are several other wells drilling
in this locality all of which are very
important. but none Of them eXcites

feet north of the School House well,
which is now only making about as
barrels q day, while the Lewis we'll is
producing over 500 barrels every TWEEN
ty-four hours. This naturally makes
the School House people feel a little
sore, and now they are reported 10 be
making arrangements to have that well
shot in the hope that the production
will be increased.
Yesterday morning o local paper
printed q special from Woodsfield, o..
stating that the Lewis Oil Company's
No. (. on the Lewis farm, about IS feet
west from the School House well, had
been drilled in Saturday night and that
it was showing for good producer.
Inquiry at Sistersville yesterday failed
to confirm the report, and every person
spoken to in regard to the matter pro-
nounced II a fake. The well is due to-
day and will probably be drilled in, un-
less some bad luck hefalls it.
The coming week does not offer much
of importance, with the exception OF
the wells mentioned above as wild cats.
There will be one or two wells due in
the Dog Skin district, and they will
probably all reach the sand early.
None of them are very important, and
they are not attracting a great deal OF
attention.
The Eastern Oil Company's No. 8, on
the Frieden farm, was drilled in Satur-
day night and is showing for a very
small producer.
McMullen & Co.'S well, on the ddy
farm. on the Ohio side, is due in the
sand to-day.
The J. T. Jones Company have made
another location on the Dye-BrOoks
farm directly south OF No. l, and VIII
build a rig and start the well TO drilling
as soon as possible.

Washington. JAN uary 23.-The Navy De-
partment, today received the following
despatch from Commander Folger of the
Yorktown at Chez Foo:
Tong Chow Foo, China. was bombarded
by ten Japanese vessels january is and 10
and 21st.8 In answer to the appeal of
missionaries. and astrayel by land isecon-
sidered ilnpracticable. the Yorktown trans
ported to Che Foo seventeen women, chill
dren and the sick of missionary families.
On tie goth ard 21st the Japa nese. covered
by twenty-three men of war, landed a large
force at Shantung promontOry to attack
the Chinese Notifications of Wei-Hai-Wei
and or the 22nd a small force was landed at
Che Foo from this vessel to protect neutral
citizens and property This landing was
in common with that from German, British
and French vessels.
With reference TO this dispatch, 1T was
said at the Japanese legation here that the
forces were probably landed to protect citi-
zens of neutral countries, principally mis-
sionaries, from the the uprising of the Cha
Khinase. The foreign residents of Che Foo.
1t was explained. would have no fear from
the Japanese forces. 1t is not likely that
the Japanese will attack the port. The
Japanese might desire Che Foo for base
of supplies, but even this is unlikely, as
other harbors along the coast are better
adapted for the purpose, As to the
proba bilities that the Japanese might desire
Che Foo for the purpose of landing troops
there preparatory to an attack on Pekin. it
was stated that the Japanese had already a
sufficient force in China for all purposes
contemplated at present.
= The State Department received a despatch
from Minister Sill at Seoul, Korea. dated
December 20, giving a translation of the
royal decree limiting Chinese residents in
Korea to open ports, .forbiddfng them 10
travel in the interior, compelling them to
register within twenty-four hours after
