The stephens oil Company Quarrel Is
settied-Ths Pipe Line TO the Cameron
Gasser-Orher OIL News.
The quarrel INDUCED in by two fac
tons among the stockholders of the
Stephens OIL Company. OF this city.
has been mentioned on several occa-
sIons in the IntellIgencer. 1t is now
given out that the difficulty has been
settled by the buying out OF the inter-
ests OF the "anti-combiners." Messrs.
Mckee, Dickinson and the other com
Diners" have purchased the holdings of
Messrs. Schockey, Alderman and 9TH
ers, amounting to about twenty shares.
on the basis OF $3.50 per share, making
the total amount that figures In the
transaction nearly 5000. The company
has one shallow well In the WaVerly
field and its property Is accounted very
promising on account OF ne proximity
to good territory on one side. that Of
Hostetter & Co. The final papers In
the deal are yet to be signed, but there
Is no doubt OF Its speedy contamination.
The Wheeling Natural Gas Company
expects TO have the pipe line from It's
Cameron gagser built through TO a con-
nection with the Wheeling mains In
about six weeks. The pipe Is now being
delivered along the route Of the pipe
line and the work will be pushed rs
rapidly as possible. The output Of the
gasser, which Is now shut down. is moro
than enough TO supply the entire manu-
featuring demand OF Wheeling and SUR
rounding communities. The company
is now putting down two other gassers
on Its territory near the big well.
The feature OF the past week In the
southwest oil fields was the coming In
OF the big gusher OF the Devonian OIL
Company on the Weekly farm, near
Centrevllle. Tyler county. 1t has made
Il certain that the activity In the In
terror OF Tyler this summer Will be
greater than in any other portion OF
the oil fields. Leases on property In that
vicinity are scarce as hens teeth, so the
talent who were not fortunate enough
to get in before the big Bullman, Kyle
and Weekly wells came in are now buy
ing up royalties and part shares In
leases at away-up figures. Several wells
are now about due in the gusher ter
rltory and their coming in will be
watched with great interest.
Some very sensational reports have
been sent out relative to the Berea grit
strike on the Lewis Ogden farm. Mt
waverly. II Is owned by Wheeling
parties, and was drilled into the Berea
last Tuesday. and at fourteen feet in
the sand began to flow, and in three
days put 10 barrels In the tank, fiow-
ing through the casing This Is the
first vel Ito get oil in the Berea in the
waverly development. and will, no
doubt. be the incentive for drilling
more wells TO that formation. Above
waverly, in the Bull creek territory
several new wells will be due in a few
days. The Eastern OH Company and
FinneEan's No. /. on the Ross. in that
part OF the field. Is rated at twenty bar
