Bottom. have had bad luck with
their test. They lost string OF
tools when within a short distance
of the Injun, and will have to move
the rig.
Fishers have located on the VIM.
Clegg heirs farm and have a rig
up ready to drill. This is also near
Round Bottom and short distance
from the Hummel pool.
The Grodhaus we'll, at Cameron
is making 80 barrels, daily guage.
At Jackson's Ridge, two locations
are ready for the drill. They are
on the Joshua Jackson and Yoho
farms and are owned by Sam Galley
and the Fisher Oil company, re-
spectively.
Another we'll is drilling on the
Anthony Hunter farm at several
hundred feet deep.
The Fisher company's Dave
Hamilton we'll is past due in the
Keener sand but we have had no
late report concerning that expect
ed gusher.
Culbertson & Schell have block
Of territory near Antioch, which
they expect to test soon.
The Henry Oil company seems to
have given up all hopes of doing
much good in the Benwood field.
They have just forfeited a 100
acre lease near developments, after
holding it at large rental for
several months, without testing.
This may be taken by other
operators.
From Thursdays Daily:
The expected advance in the
price of credit balances today did
not materialize. Conditions are
ripe for SIPS oil and producers are
wise in holding their product for
better prices.
There is absolutely nothing new
from the fields. There are a few
wells drilling but in the main they
are in defined territory and their
outcome has no particular bearing
on the field or market.
The we'll on the Eakln farm
south of Elk Fork should have been
completed yesterday but at late
hour today they were still drilling.
Andy Bruner, who is the princi-
pal owner of the Hickman Oil
company's we'll on the Hickman
heirs farm, has decided to give
their No. Hickman shot and
thinks it will make paying pump
ing we'll.
Arrangements are going on qui-
etlv to have a test we'll drilled on
Pursley between Pursley postofice
and the old oil field.
EVERETT, W. VA.
Special to the Review.
The we'll being drilled on the
Flesher farm by Holden and 9th
ers is down 200 feet. The first
string of casing was put in yes
terday. 1t should reach the Cow
Run sand in FIVE or six days, and
if it proves to be a producer will
open up large strip of territory.
It is one-fourth of a mile south
west of Martin No. I. The Martin
we'll is increasing its output, we
are reliably informed, and is max
ing in the neighborhood of 100
barrels per day, which shows that
there is nice pool of oil in that
vicinity.
Shannon & McCutcheou have
built a water tank on the n. B.
Williamson farm and will drill a
we'll at once. They will drill it
with a drilling machine and if it
comes in producer will build up a
rig afterwards. There are a
few small tracts of land near
these locations not leased that

Wetzel counties as the next field.
The Standard Oil company mag
mates look upon it as their only re-
deemer, yet it has been fairly we'll
defined and it is not believed with
all the efforts the Standard and its
affiliated members are putting forth
in its development will not result
| in increased stocks. !,
It can be readily seen from the
actions of the octopus that a crisis
| is almost at hand. When fall ship
ments have begun, their supply OF
oil will be far below the danger
line, and at the present time there
| is no immediate relief in sight.
What does all this mean? 1t means
more for the producer than he can
comprehend. 1t means that he has
the key and is master of the sit
uation. 1t means big advance in
the price of oil. It means that an
industry of vast importance that
was down-trodden and almost de-
stroyed by arbitrary prices OF a
greedy trust shall be revived. 1t
means better times for everybody
and those who were forced to retire
from the business may -e-enter
and have a fair show OF retrieving
his losses.
To effect these better conditions
more speedily instead of letting
them adjust themselves the pro-
Queer can lend himself a helping
hand. He can wrest the club which
he has himself, been furnishing
the Standard to beat him financial
ly with, from the Octopus.
The producers have been follow
ing our advice and holding on to
their credit balances. yet at the
same time the Standard is issuing
warehouse receipts, using the oil
and charging enormous storage.
Stop it! Erect your own tankage
and store your own oil, thus the
means with which they have openly
robbed the producer will be taken
away from them and instead of be-
ing dictated to, the producer will
be the dictator, instead of being
the serf he can be the master. Iron
tanks can be erected very cheap
and there was never one built but
what the Standard would pay you
dollar for dollar on your investment
in order to get them out of their
money. getting wsy. A little more
than one years storage exacted by
the Standard for a barrel of oil will
build a barrel tankage. Tankage
can be erected for less than zoe per
barrel.
FOLLOWING OUR ADVICE.
It was learned last evening that
the Kanawha Oil company, E. H.
Jennings Bros. and other large in
dependent companies have decided
to follow the advice of the Review.
They see the wisdom of our advo-
cacy, and are making preparations
to erect tankage and store their
own oil.
Yesterday material for three 49,.
600 barrel iron tanks arrived at
New Martinsville, which will be
set up on the Mills tract at once.
We understand two more are on
the way to this or some other point
for the Hardman heirs. These
firms will have another tank COM
pleted of the same capacity at Cor
aopalis, Pa, for their Butler county
production, this week.
Riter-Corley company, of Pitts
burg, iron and steel contractors,
have been awarded the contracts
for the work we have mentioned
and it will be hurried to speedy
completion.

The Smith we'll is yet making

Yoke & Company were drilling

Mr.. Yoke stated last night that
the we'll would not be completed

"BATTLE OF LA QUASlNA."
Initial Fight Of Col. Woods Rough Riders
and Troops Friday VIII Thus be
Known In History.

JURAGUA, Cuba, June %, via Kings
ton, Jamaica The initial fight Of Col.
Woods rough riders and the troopers
Of the First and Tenth regular cav.
airy last Friday will be known in his.
tory as the battle Of La Quasina That
it did not end in the complete slaugh-
ter Of the Americans was not due to
any miscalculation in the plan Of the
Spaniards, for as perfect an ambus-
cade as was ever formed In the brain
of an Apache Indian was pre-.
pared, and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt
and his men walked squarely
into 1t. For an hour and half
they held their ground under perfect
storm OF bullets from the front and
sides and then Col. Wood at the right
and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt at the left,
led charge which turned the tide Of
battle and sent the enemy flying over
the hills toward Santiago. 1t is now
definitely known that 10 men on the
American side were killed, while 90
were wounded or are reported to be
missing, II is impossible to calculate
the Spanish losses, but 1t Is known that
they were far heavier than those Of
the Americans, at least as regards ac-
tual loss Of life. Already 81 dead Span.
ish soldiers have been found and
buried, while many others undoubt-
eddy are lying In the thick underbrush
on the side Of the gully and on the
slope Of the hill. where the main body
Of the enemy was located.

Chance to Escape.

OFF SANTIAGO, via Kingston, ia.
maica, June 81. While the army ad.
vances the main portion Of the feet
lies patiently in front Of Moro CASTLE
awaiting Its opportunity. Before the
end OF next week the fate Of Santiago
and Admiral Cervera should be de-
cided. by that time, 1t is believed,
the Spanish troops will have been
forced back upon the city and de-
feated in a decisive engagement
simultaneously the forts at the mouth
of the harbor should be captured,
under cover of a naval bombardment
Three things will then be left to Ger
vera-to surrender with his ships, to
surrender after destroying his ships,
or to make a dash out to sure destruc.
ton, lie may forestall fate by max
ing an attempt to get out of the har-
Dor before the army accepts its end.
The first Spanish ship to appear off
Moro castle will be sunk within Is
minutes, Nothing in Admiral Ger
veras fleet could survive the concen-
trated fire of all the battleships in the
navy and three OF the best cruisers.

relatives of President Mckinley have

vate soldiers They are his nephews
John Dewalt Barber and James Fuller
Mckinley. Both have been his guests
at the white house for some time. The

in this matter in favor Of his relatives,

willing to enlist as privates he would
prefer that they do so. And that
course was followed by both. Both

ing had appealed to him from decision
of the secretary of the board. This was
three or four days after she had been to
the secretary. Since thirty days have
elapsed since the board made the order
requiring the flag salute from all the
pupils, Mr.. Harding thought that accord
ing to school law the woman had lost her
right to appeal.
Superintendent Patton replied to the

stating that the case in question was not
on the matter of the flag salute, but on
the suspension of Mrs. Harding's daugh.
