The Billings Gazette says: "The
prediction of this newspaper-that
wool would touch Is cents on the
Billings market-has been more than
verified, the Jos. Sims clip of $4,000
pounds having been sold to j. Kosh-
land & Co. last Sunday, through Mr..
Topliff. at figure better than 19k
cents. Mr.. Sims declines to state the
known fact that he has been holding
his wool at 20 cents and the sale was
consummated, from the best informa-
ton which can be obtained by this
newspaper, at a price very close to
those figures. Mr.. Topliff, who OBJ
tanned the wool, contends that it was
shipped on consignment at a very
moderate advance declining to state
the amount, but Mr.. Sims tells The
Gazette that the clip was sold out
right. He also made the same state
ment to other parties and, while he
would not say at what figure, it is
generally understood that he got
very close to 20 cents. His clip was
an unusually fine one, his sheep all
having been dipped last fall, and he
not only deserves the credit of hav-
ing topped the market in the state,
but OF having received the best price
paid for wool since 1892.
1.-The sale will make the Great Falls
people green with envy. They have
always claimed, In spite of positive
proof to the contrary, that their mar
ket is from l to cents higher than
this, but just as good prices have
been paid in Billings during the past
three or four seasons, and this year
she goes her northern neighbor nearly
2 cents better.
Sunday the L. Lehfeldt clip of 1l4,-
900 pounds was consigned at an ad-
vance of IL cents, one-haH of the clip
going to Bach, Becker & Co. and the
remainder to Hallowell, Donald &
Co."

THE COST
or Drilling an Oil Well in West Virginia
or Pennsylvania.

VI DILllIS All VII wen III west SlrSlllId
or Pennsylvania.
In answer to an enquiry as to the cost
OF drilling an oil well In the Pittsburgh
district, the Oil City Derrick says:
The cost OF an oil well depends entire
~ upon Its depth and the difficulty or
ease Of drilling. In the Pittsburgh dis
trict, by which we suppose is meant the
oil territory In Washington and Allie
gheny counties, there Is as great vari-
ance as anywhere, and a we'll complete
and connected with tank costs ali the
way from s., 500 TO $1,000. To drill a well
there Is required, first, a derrick. which
costs from 500 to 500. according to To-
cation. and second, a boiler. engine and
belt, which costs about $3.50 more. Then
there Is from $50 to 1000 feet Of heavy
casing needed, that costs about 25 cents
foot. When the we'll Is completed 1t
Is tubed with two-inch tubing, which
reaches from the top to the bottom Of
the well. and costs about ten cents q
foot Then there are the incidental ex-
penses of carriage, tank for the oil. tor
pedo and cleaning out, making conncc-
tons, etc., which may amount to from
$3.50 TO $500 more. The cost OF drilling
varies from 40 cents to sl.35 foot. In
the deep or Gordon sand OF West Vir-
gnia where wells are drilled to depth
of 1000 feet, II Is not unusual for well
TO cost from S, 900 TO $4,000 These deep
wells require an enormous amount Of
iron pipe-beginning with, say twelve
Inch casing and winding up with q
four and one-haif-inch liner. A well
5000 feet deep when completed In this
territory may contain nearly three
times Its depth of drive pipe, casing and
& tubing.

Like many other churches, Benwood

den OF a heavy debt. Some time ago the
secret societies Of Benwood decided to
assist The church, which had always
been at their disposal whenever they
needed 1t. and in return FOR the church's
generosity they have since done much to
lessen the debt.
This Is particularly true Of the Daugh-
tiers of Rebekah, ot Benwood. and they
got up 4 successful bazaar and watch

slight in comparison to what the trus-

felt. The ladies certainly did splendid In
realizing 81 much money for The cause.

QUARTERS FOR OFFICERS.
Cervera and His Aids Will Occupy
NnYaI Academy Barracks.


ANNAPOLIS, Nd, July 1O.-Captain P.
r. Cooper, superintendent of the Naval
Academy, has completed his preparations
for the care Of the eighty Spanish officers,
including Admiral Cervera, recently cap
tured off Santiago de Cuba. Just how much
liberty will be accorded them while here
has not been definitely settled, but the dis
position of the authorities is to treat them
with all possible leniency and 20 make their
enforced stay in Annapolis as pleasant
is possible under the circumstances. 1t is
probable that all will be put on parole and
allowed the fullest use of the beautiful
grounds for promenade and other purposes.
The buildings to be occupied by them are
known as Goldsborough Row and lie on the
southeastern section of the academy, be-
tween the cd mess hall and the gymna-
sium. The row consists of nine
buildings, but only numbers 2, 8, 4.
5, and s will be occupied by
the prisoners Numbers 2, and are
two-story buil lings with easements; the
others are three stories. Seven and eight
will be occupied by the officers of high rank
and the junior officers will have the other
buildings.
These quarters are used by the cadets and
bachelor officers and professors when the
academy is in session. Each room will
quarter two officers and each officer will
have bed to himself. There are wardrobes
and closets for their clothes in each room;
chairs and large square table in the GEN.
ter of the room with hanging gas lamp
over it with an improved burner. Walters
will attend to the rooms and take care of
the apartments. In the bachelors apart
ments there will be especial accommodation
for the officers of highest rank. The rooms
are fifteen feet by fifteen and have ceilings
of ten feet They overlook the parade
grounds and from the porticos that front
them the superintendents house. the work
Of preparation for the new armory, the har
Dor Of Annapolis and the broad stretch of
the majestic Chesapeake can be seen. From
the rear windows blow southern breezes,
the regular summer wind of this section. 1t
is a cool and inviting spot
1t is a singular coincidence that the Span
ish naval officers should be quartered in the
very alma mater of the men who gave
them so signal defeat and made them
prisoners. Among those who recently occu-
pied these quarters are Lieutenants Hobson
and Blue and Cadets Powell and Hart. Hob
sons apartments adjoin the Spanish quar-
ters and as the head of the department of
naval construction he has much valuable
naval data there.
