OIL NEWS.

The Deep Run Oil Company's well,
the derrick of which was burned last
Saturday evening, on the lease adJoin-
ing the Frieden we'll, has been re-
placed, and drilling will be resumed to-
day. The we'll is good for 100 barrels.
Thursday evening the L. c. Wilson
Company drilled in their No. 2. on the
Parker farm, a short distance from
Friendly, and it is reported to be pro-
ducing about 200 barrels a day. The
well is not expected to hold up to this,
as It is in the Keener sand, which has
fooled the operators in this field so
much before.
The receipts of the pipe line compa-
MES in the Sistersville field yesterday
were 1920 barrels. Mellon Pipe Line
were 1850 barrels, and the receipts of
the Eureka Pipe Line were S,440 bar
rels.

There was report last evening that
Jennings & Co.'S No. 4, on the Hard
man farm, in Doddridge county, had
been drilled in and is producing about
400 barrels day. This is the third pro-
ducing well on this farm drilled by this
company, all of which are producing in
the neighborhood of 400 barrels a day.

the John Boley No. l.
A correspondent writing from Cam
eron in regard to oil and gas develop
ments, says: Il see lots of oil reports
in the Register and reports of opera
lions for oil, but nothing from Cameron
and vicinity. The operations, as yet,
about Cameron, showed no particular
development until Wednesday evening.
The Woodland Oil Company opened up
what is supposed to be the largest gas
well in the country. 1t is about seven
miles east Of Cameron, in Greene coun-
ty, Pa, on the farm of w. J. Bryant.
The gas is so strong that the cable wasl
blown to pieces and the roar of the gaa
can be heard for miles. There is p
wells going down within radius Of
seven miles of Cameron; the Woodland
and South Penn oil companies and Duff
fy G. Queen are the principal operators.
THAT Marshall county will be the
next big oil field is beyond doubt. All
oil men concede the fact that within her
borders is a large pool of oil, and that
the present development will show its
whereabouts. Scalpers and regular de-
velopers are making the farmers happy
WIFI ldIBt IGnldlSs DOnN9SS anu III many
other ways. 1t gives employment to
teamsters and those who desire to
work.
This drilling is over a wide breadth
of country. making Cameron the cen
ter, and will soon surround the town Of
every side. We are destined to be in
the current, and no doubt will exceed
the territory at Warrington and Sisters
vile in extent of development. This
gas we'll was struck under the Big In
Jun sand, in a sand, l believe. in oil
parlance, called the fifty-feet. do not
know what the company intend to do,
but suppose they will prepare the well
so as to utilize the gas. They are drill
ing one on the northeast side of this
well on the Lazear farm, and one on
the southwest side on the Henry Riggls
farm. each about one mile from the
Bryan. The first is down about 1000
feet and. the other 1000 feet. They ex-
pect these wells to be oil producers"

st. Mary's, w. Va, uly 19.-Oil bust
ness in this section is picking up very
briskly, and during the past week there
have been quite number of new loca-
lions made and new rigs erected.
The lost bit has been gotten out Of
the Adkins WELL and they should get
the "Big Injun" sand to-day. This
well is good for ten or fifteen barrels il
the bottom of the salt sand.
The shallow we'll being drilled at
Vancluse has been getting oil in every
sand they came to all the way down,
and are reported to have a good pro-
ducer In the Cow Run sand at five huns
dred and fifty feet
A new well has been located by CaldA
we'll on the lack Riggs farm below
town, and the timbers are being got on
the ground for a rig.
w. G.. II. Core and others have leased
a tract of land on Middle Island creek,
below the mouth of Fishpot run, and a
rig will go up at once. They seem to
be confident that this is good territory.
A rig is being erected on the Steits
lease on Andrew Boley's farm, on Oil
Well run, branch of Broad run, and
a well will be drilled at once.
The rigs are being completed for the
new wells on Alum Cove run, and drill
ing will shortly begin.
Reese & Graham are still in hard luck
at the Wiley School House we'll on
French creek. 1t seems that they have
worked twenty-five days since the tools
were lost, and have neither been able
to get them out or to get past them.
R. G. Caldwell's Cooper well, below
town, is still making about 80 barrels
per day from the big Injun," but
looks as though the water could not be-
exhausted until other wells are drilled
in the vicinity to help lift it out.
Reese & Graham are all ready to drill
the School House well, but have been
delayed several days waiting on stem.
Barnsdall & Mallory have their rig
completed on the Brown farm, and drill
ing will begin in a day or two. They
are also getting the machinery back to

The annual school census Of this city
has for many years past been a farce,
utterly ridiculous and unreliable. This
year it is a little worse than ever be-
fore. The statistics ought to be Of
some practical value but what results
can be expected when the work is turn
ed over to women and children? Yet
the Board Of Education reproduces the
farce each year just as if it We're not
as at present conducted, worse than a
waste of time and money.
The enemies Of the President are de-
voting considerable time TO raising OBJ
jecdons TO him for a third term. These
are amusing. Mr.. Cleveland Will round
out his splendid public career with the
conclusion Of his present term. What
really troubles the Cleveland haters
is the magnificent reputation he Will
have when leaving it. This makes
them afraid the people will be moved
TO Try to continue so good a President
iu Office.
