older development and has caused
a great stir among lease holders in
the near vicinity:
Miller & Sibley are building a
rig at the mouth of Steer creek
above Grantsville, Calhoun county
This is a rank wildcat and will be
watched by operators.
Ross & Mobiles test we'll on the
Wease farm at Sandyville, Jackson
county, has been drilled through
the Injun sand and has made no
oil. A good show of gas was got
in the well but it has been drowned
out by salt water. Drilling has
been suspended for the present but
the we'll may yet be drilled deeper.
The Carter Oil company's No.
Broadwater at Oxford, in the ex-
IRENE eastern part of Richie, has
been drilled through the Keener
sand and the hole has filled up
about 200 feet with fluid. The
we'll was drilled below the depth at
which the Injun is regularly found
but no sand was got.
This company is rigging up at
their No. I G. G. Griffin at Hol-
broke, Richie county, which is
about five miles from Oxford. This
we'll is only a short distance from a
ten barrel producer recently COM
pleted by this company.
There is intense excitement in
and about Salem over the Carter
Oil company's No. wildcat on the
Camden Heirs, which came in
early in the week. Information as
to the workings and producing
ability of this we'll is very meagre,
and what is given cannot be au
thenticated. Every precaution is
being taken by the company to
keep all in quest of details away
from their property, and apparently
are quite successful One thing is
certain, however, that sufficient
news of true character has leaked
out to make the farmers in that
neighborhood tenacious of their
land, which is now being eagerly
negotiated for by the COM
pany. The most reliable in
formation we have received is to
the effect that the we'll is big gas
ser, with quite fair showing of oil.
1t is drilling itself in.

the Carter Oil company's lease, and

nanza tor him in the face OF this
excitement. There is well south
of his block, and three miles from
Salem, and the present strike is
just north.
The latest from the H. Bowser
we'll is that there is probability of
its making a good producer. There
is nothing definitely known yet.
Afford & Garner will drill we'll
at Bloomfield on Watson Bros.
1t is said that A. ]. Mechanics
we'll will make a dandy good one if
properly managed. 1t is a fine
gasser as 1t is.
Henderson & Co. are down about
100 feet with their test on the
Rashman farm. This development

The company will start spudding
for their No. Monday. A meet
ing to consider matters of impor-
lance will be held at 7:3o p. m.
Thursday at the Office of A. Bruner.
Ira Dewitt's we'll near Harris
vile on the Tom Davis property
will be in today. This well is
southeast of the three wells on the
Davis and Canon properties, one
of which is dry, one gasser and
the other producing FIVE barrels a
day.
A. 7. Yoke's No. I on the Widow
Rymer farm, which is the Big In
Jun, north of Harrisville, is show
ing up we'll enough to warrant
shooting it and drilling it in. This
we'll has been dormant for some
time but recently the production
was turned into tanks.
There is no new development at
Yoke & Co.'s Fluharty No. 2. The
gas pressure is so strong that the
connections made this week have
become disarranged and thus inter
tering with any intelligent estimate
of the wells worth. The project
ors, however, are sanguine that it
will be 600 or 700 barrel well.
From Thursdays Daily
Word from Fluharty we'll last
evening was very fattering indeed.
Yesterday the we'll was drilled in
just little deeper into the Big In
Jun sand and the flow of oil was in
creased. Last evening the we'll
was making 2 inches an hour or
about 5 barrels an hour or 40 bar
rels day. The indications are a
new pool has been opened up and
being in the Big Injun sand there is
no danger of its being a "ireak "
We look for a very much larger
pool than the old Elk Fork pool
was. The latter was a Keener sand
pool, never covering very wide
scope of country, but an 1njun
sand pool is always large one and
no one can tell where it will end.
The officers of the Eureka Pipe
Line company have moved into
their handsome new quarters in the
Wells block. My, oh me! but they
are fine. The boys all look so hand
some through plate glass windows;
so very much handsomer than they
did through common glass. The
boys have fine office and deserve
it, for there are no more accommo
dating, accurate, steady and reliable
young men in these United States
of America, Hayti, Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. We
think with the aid of the reflection
from fine plate glass the boys may
be able to catch a handsome Sis
tersville girl or a female not so
handsome from Parkersburg or
some other hamlet. The Office is a
dandy.
On the Morrison farm in the
lower end of Roane county, the
South Penn Oil company are pre-
pairing to start their Nos. and 3.
No. I on that farm has been max
ing about ten barrels daily for some
time. They will probably start
more work in the same locality In a
short time, but this has not been
definitely decided upon. In Richie
county they have located their Nos.
d 5 and E on the Hayhurst farm, in
the old Whiskey run development.
The work here has been of an un-
satisfactory nature, the number of
dry holes and producers being
about equal.
North of Cairo they have located
their Nos. 8 and 9 Miller. The
wells are in a small Big Injun de-
velopment which has been opened

From Fridays Daily.
There was great excitement yes
terday over the reported "gusher"
struck at J. T. Jones No. 2, on the
Marshal farm. AS usual, the value
of the we'll was greatly exagger-
ated, and the oil people, while they
mistrusted the first information,
were on the qui Vive with expec-
fancy. Last evening the report was
current that the we'll would be good
for 900 barrels a day, and was
flowing full through the 6A inch
casing. Superintendent Louis Arm
strong, of the ]. T. Jones Co., in
forms us that the we'll was making
20 barrels an hour when he left
late in the afternoon, and that there
was every indication that it would
keep up to this production right
along. 1t was down 1852 feet to
the top of the Keener, and was
drilled in shortly before noon yes
terday.
There is much interest in the
strike and a great numb:r OF the
oil men in this territory are flock
ing to the spot. 1t will revive the
importance of this territory, which
has been condemned several times
by a number of dry holes, and was
generally considered of Indifferent
value. There are many peculiar
things in connection with the Mar
shall district. In one instance
there is line of producing wells
Immediately between a couple dry
holes. Several of the oil men who
have visited the present we'll are of
the opinion that it is in the center
of the pool. 1t is 400 feet from
the Carter Oil company's No. 4
which was drilled in Sunday and
made a showing of $50 barrels a
day. 1t is also 400 feet from J. 7.
Jones No. 1, and 400 feet from No.
Thistle.
Superintendent Armstrong has
commenced building No. 3 and is
having the material hauled for Nos.
and s. He will start No. 3 on
the Parr drilling today. He IS also
building Nos. 9, 10 and II on Ar
cher. The Carter Oil company IS
building No. S on the Thistle.
The 81 inch casing for Thomp'
son & Co.'S on the Lightner farm,
on Cow House run, was put in to-
day.,
Yoke & Co. S No. on the Flu
harty is not reaching the produc-
ton claimed for it, but nevertheless
it Is first class we'll and will prob
ably do much better when drilled
deeper. The well is now producing
eight barrels an hour. The gas
pressure is terrific and is causing
considerable waste-Io to IS barrels
a day. Today this company will
start their No. 3 on the Fluharty,
and on Monday will begin building
one rig on H. L. Bowser, to be
shortly followed by two more.
Mrs. F. E. Ihrig yesterday sold a
one quarter interest in her we'll on
the briggs farm, in the northeast
extension of the Elk Fork pool, to
Dan Daily far $500. She has also

farm in Ohio, near Dogskin to F.

replied Roughton, pouring out whisky
with an unsteady hand and glancing
toward door at the end of the room.
"Come-here you are; cheer yourself
up bitv'
Richard Felgate took the glass, with
laugh, and drank deep. Contempt for
himself, contempt for this boy, prick
ed him to recklessness. He filled the
glass again and again, even urged the
boy to the drinking of mad toasts. "I'll
give the young idiot lesson" he
thought brutality; one of the lessons
they taught me years ago. We're trav-
cling the same road, my stupid Bailey

him, ''only I'm @ little farther on tho

slumber, with his head among the glasses
on the table, Richard Felgate, whose
face was flushed, stood up and steadied
himself with hand Oh the back of a
chair He laughed in his throat, and
then, with shaking hand, began to
pour some more whisky into his glass.
A sound at the other end of the room
caused him to look up with start. He
set down the bottle and drew himself
up, with his hands gripping the chair

and 524l Chinese. The conditions
upon which most of these applica
tions were approved we're:
l. That before such permits
are granted the employer shall
bind himself to introduce into this
country a number of European or
American agricultural laborers
equal to not less than 10 per cent
of the number of Asiatic laborers
for which permits are granted.
2. Such European or American
laborers to be accompanied by
women, not less in number than
25 per cent of the males.
3. The government to defray
the cost of importing the women
and children at a cost not to ex-
ceed Sl30 for each family. The
employer to pay the whole cost of
importing the male laborers and
any excess of the cost of families
over $50.
4. A good and sufficient bond
is to be given in each case for the
performance of these conditions.
