The big gas well at Cameron is keep

with no probability Of lessening the
output. The owners, the Wheeling
Natural Gas Company, are losing no
time to set themselves in shape to
house the fluid and not let 1t SO to fur

with r. j. MoFNadden, of Moundsville,
10 keep In readiness for them twenty
five teams and q sufficient number OF
workmen 50 the work OF laying pipe

From Cameron and Moundsvllle dis
tributing parties win begin work rs

them win 80 the layers Of the line. II is
anticipated to begin this work on next
Tuesday morning. A ten-inch pipe
win be used in the construction Of the
line, which viii not be as first proposed,
by the way OF the railroad, but will be
by way OF the county road from Came

ter place over the Fork ridge road. and
from there will so to the Ohio river,
thence following the course or that
stream TO Wheeling. At Moundsvillc
the line will be tapped and the inhabi-

has not granted the franchise to the

Much has been said about the bad con-
dltion of the roads throughout the oil
field, but IT is doubtful If any who have
not been interested realize the diff
cuIties encountered In taking machln-
cry and boilerse from this place out into
the Indian Greek district of the field.
The average cost OF transporting
boiler to that part OF the field is $3.50,
or SO more than the original cost Of
the boiler to the purchaser. However,
at this cost they have been moved as
fast as the limited number Of teams
could handle them, until this morning,
when on account OF the crust frozen
over the mud It was impossible for a
team to travel. Not team has up to
G o'clock this evening been able to reach
the railroad depot, and IL is understood
that no attempt will be made towards
handling supplies until after the mud Is
either frozen hard enough to carry
teams or has thawed out. This will
cause much Inconvenience and expense
to all operators and teamsters and will
also cause blockade at the depot, as
freight Is steadily coming in. which
cannot under the present circumstances
be removed. Express and mail matter
hns been handled in wheelbarrows to
and from all trains to-day.
The bit which was lost about three
weeks ago in Crawford & Treats well
on the Stewart farm has not been re-
covered. This well has been closely
watched by number OF SlsterSville
people who hold territory in that VI
einity. The well Is within two or three
days drilling OF the pay.
A similar state Of affairs exists at
the wells being drilled by Graham &
Co and the South Penn OIL Company
up in wetzel county. The former are
down over 1890 feet and have fishing
Job, and the latter down little over
1880 feet with a whole string OF tools
In the hole. These wells are both i'm
portant wildcats. and much depends
upon the showing they make to parties
holding territory In that section.
