New Wells and Locations-Notes About
the Producing Wells
There has been very little, done in
the OIL fields during the past week on
account OF the operators being ham,
pered in their work by the high wa
ter. For several days it was impos-
sible to get material for the drilling
OF wells out into the country
There is little work being done
now and there will be more in the
near future, as all the operators are
convinced that spring has opened UP
and are preparing to develop their
property more fully Quite a lot of
material is being sent out and active
operations will be commenced in a
very short time.
The we'll on the Eagan lease in the
Elk Fork field, one Of the most i'm
pCrtant locations in that field, has
been started again and the well will
be completed as soon as possible 1t
is located on direct line between the
Elk Fork development and that at the
Jug, and the operators are watching
it closely, as a great manys<are of the
opinion that it will show there is a
connecting link between the two
fields
The Elk Fork Oil Company should
get the sand in their No II on the
J. K Hill 49acre lease not later than

ments in the Whisky Run territory
during the past week that were signifi-
cant. The Mountain State Gas Com

farm in, and it showed UP at first for
a dry hole with lots Of gas. but deeper

barrels an hour.

days, but it is impossible at present to
hear anything from them.

FOR GOVERNOR.

Point Pleasant Register.
One who has recently visited Mineral
county, the old home of ex-senator
Henry G. Davis, says there is no man
in the State that has such a strong
place in the hearts Of the people OF that
section as has the ex-senator for any
thing that he would desire IN the way
Of political promotion. But atthis time
he seems to be their ideal candidate for
GubernatoriaI honors. Not only is it
on account of their high appreciation
of him as a man OF strong integrity
and recognized superior executive abll-
ity and craftsmanship, but stands OUT
to-day a bold and influential advocate
of bimetallism. He alone of all the
men of great wealth in this State had
the courage to stand firmly in the
breach during the last Presidential
contest and proclaim publicly his op-
position to the financial policy OF the
Wall street capitalists. And\he among
the mall at this time has no apologies
70 make for the course he pursued, and
is making none, but is an aggressive
himetallist and in favor OF paying the
bonds of the government, not only &C
cording to spirit, but the letter OF the
contract. in coin, silver and gold, at
the option of the government.-Bar
bour Democrat
Senator Davis would make an ideal
Governor. and we would heartily sup
mort him. and believe no man could poll
a larger vote Senator Davis is too
well known to need Z word of recon-
uendation in Mason county. He is
one of the old wheel horses and the
Democracy OF this section would give
him a cordial support.

WHIST.
Mrs. jerks Lesson on Whiss-Not Always
Wise to Stick Too Closely to Rules


Wise to Stick Too Closely to Rules
some one has very Justly remarked
that it is quite possible to make too
much of the culture of books and study
100 little of that of life. So, too, is
this error TO the practice of whist The
underlying principles are frequently
distorted by a players miseonception
of The uses OF rules for play.
II is false idea of the game that the
science of whist requires rigid ad-
herence TO the fundamental rules TO
the sacrifice of its trick making quail
ties. To be narrowed to this mistaken
view is to throw away chances for
trick-taking for the doubtful pleasure
of following sequentially a set of
rules. Bear in mind the chief aim in
whist is TO win tricks, and that it is
not an exact science as mathematics.
nor can it ever be made an exact sell
ence SC long as the cards are shufiled
and dealt promiscuously. 1t is we'll for
the highest enjoyment OF the game
that this is fact.
Tile lesson exemplifies the necessity
for playing TO the drop of the cards
independent CT the rule for second
nand play of low card on low card led,
with ace and one small
iae inference that leads to this indie
perdeut treatment is that the spade led
.y west is south's strongest suit. AS
norih's hand is weak, he must play
IN his partners needs. The inference
that spade is. south's suit is acquired
by comparison. Much OF trick aivan-
isge is gained in this indirect way.
rather than through the rigid appii-
calion Of rules. There are few exact
measurements at whist. Every deal
REQUIRES some standing Of the rules,
ead these are varied as the degrees
Of tints from the MONDAY glare to the
shadows OF night. These subtle changes
that are taking place as enc situation
after another is developed demand the
,iossst attention and the deepest pen
stration to be able to calculate wheth-
~ il is best to take a trick or to pass
il by. 10 finesse, or what to do 1t is
no difficult task to memorize the rules
aid to play what is commonly called
scientific whist, but TO command
deal Of fifty-two cards for yourself or
partner requires something more than
ordinary intelligence.
