once George y. Curzon. answering a question put
by Sir Ellis Ashrnead Bartlett Conservative Member
for the Ecclesail Division OF Sheffield to whether
Russia had occupied Deer Island, said Russia
believed 70 be negotiating with Corea for coal
depot at Deer Island. where Japan already had
similar site; but. Mr.. Curzon added. nothing had
been heard officially OF a Russian occupation OF
the island
Referring to Port Arthur Mr.. Curzon said that
no forts existed there now. and he added that the
Government was not aware that any Russian land
forces that place
Mr. Curzon said that British interests in China
were paramount. but not exclusive" The British
Nation he continued would he justified in
garding legitimate competitors with Jealousy. but
ought rather 70 use ell efforts 10 keep IN age
OF competition what was won In an age of monop-
oily" They could foresee that China would be con-
fronted by greater dangers in the future than she
had been in the past. Great Brltain's policy was
10 prevent the disruption and 20 oppose the aliena
ton OF Chinese territory and II not likely that
Great Britain would regard with satisfaction the
attempts Of others in that direction.
Mr Curzon reviewed the loan negotiations point
ing out the generous and unselhsh nature OF the
British terms" which however. had not prevented
suspicious being aroused that had prevented the
granting OF the loan China however. had as
sured Great Britain that she would not ask loan
OF any other Power and to-day he (Mr. Curzon)
had learned that the loan would be negotiated
through powerful BANK
Mr. Curzon then recapt Glsted the valuable

No. S commenced spudding on FRI

deep, No. e. started spudding on
Saturday and is drilling at about
800 feet. iIa
Mills 6 Co. will start to spud at
their No. on the Rice farm today
or tomorrow. This we'll Is some
distance ahead of developments
and will, no. doubt, be an important
test.
The Cutler.Harvey oil COM
pany's No. q on the Glendenning

should be due in the Sand the latter
part of the week. Their No. is
still holding up nicely and is one
of the best wells in the field.

The Eastern Oil company's No.

The rig for their No. 9 has been

when it will be starsed.
Their No. II started spudding
the last of the week and is drilling
at about 200 feet. No. II is drill
ing at about 500.

, the Standard can send the refined
Lima out, and still furnish bette
grade of oil than can be made from
the petroleum produced in Russis
and some of the other foreign coun
tries, and are doing it right along
The demand for the high grade OF
In this country has become Sc
strong that they are compelled tt
work up more of the low grade
stuff, and this Is believed to be the
reason why the price of the low
grade credit balances has advanced
so materially during the week, and
/ to point above where it has been
for a long time.
j The work in the field during the
week was not of a deal of impor.
! lance outside of the drilling In Of
the we'll on the Henthorn lease,
which has been mentioned in an
other place. The work In the
northeast extension of the Elk Fork
pool is going along nicely and dur.
ing the coming week there should
be some important wells due in the
sand.
In the first place the we'll being
drilled on the Wetzel farm by Treat
& Crawford should case with the
81 casing today or tomorrow, and
it will probably reach the sand the
latter part of the week. On the
Mercer farm Bruner & Co. are also
ready to case and they should get
the sand during the week if they
have no bad luck. Gafney & Co.
on the Lowry are in about the same
condition and should reach the
sand the latter part of the week.
There are several other wells out
there nearing the pay; and there is
every reason to believe the coming
week will be an interesting one es-
pecially in the northeast extension
of the Elk Fork pool.
There has been very little heard
from. the Elk Run territory during
! the week. About the only thing
of interest was the fact the sand in
which the Carter Oil company had
gotten the we'll on the Musser farm
had been determined and was the
Keener instead OF the Maxton as
was at first reported. The Carter
we'll on this farm which was drilled
in some time ago has been put in
sood working order and is reported
to be making about rs to 80 barrels
day. Shay & McMullens well on
the Schmeltzenbach lease which
was drilled into the same sand at
about the same time as the we'll
mentioned above is reported to be
making about 50 barrels day.
The Carter people have made the
locations for three new wells on
the Mercer farm, the rigs for two
of which are now being built and
the other one will be started the
early part of the coming week.
Shay & McMullen have one loca-
ton near their No. I on the
Schmeltzenbach and the rig for the
we'll is almost completed. On the
Moore farm about a mile east OF
the developments in the Berea grit
end of the Elk Run pool the Carter
Oil company has made several To-
cations and have the rigs up for
two wells which will be drilled in
Immediately. il
Cummings & Co. have two wells
almost ready to start on the Smith
farm, and will probably commence
work the first of the coming week.
There Is a large amount of work
almost ready to start In that section
and a great deal more is in con
temptation. The outlook in tina,
section for the coming winter Is a
very bright one.
