The South Penn have been very
quiet about their work and il is
only recently that outside parties
were aware that oil really existed
in paying quantities. The wells
that they have completed produce

Harrison county may prove
leading factor in furnishing the

um. As yet very little is known
of resources in this direction but SC
far developments have been highly
encouraging. Many are inclined
to the opinion that Harrison county
is too far east to ever figure prom

This may and may not be true.
The future will tell but past devel
opments does not confirm this con.
viction.
The only development in the
county is near Jarvisville, a little
inland town about six miles south
of the B. & o. railroad. Operations
have been confined to this locality
and has been and is being done by

So far developments have been

MATTERS WERE WORSE
In a Great Many Instances than
Rib Said they Were.
The Officers Were Mean and Cruel to
the Men and after the Trouble About
Mastering came up There was no
Living with Tbem-Says the Majority
of the Men Want to Come Home.

A few days ago the Review pub
lished an exhaustive interview with
Hiram G. Rib OF this city, who
recently returned from serving sew
eral months with the Seventh Ohio
Volunteer Infantry at Camp Alger,
in which there were some pretty
strong illusions made to the way
the men were treated while in camp
or at least after they had expressed
their desire to be mustered out now
that peace had been declared.
Another soldier of the same reg
iment and who was in the same
company with Rib and who only
came home a couple of days before
Ribb did, is Claude Campbell, son
OF ?. T. Campbell, of Water street.
He was seen by a Review man yes
terday and asked whether he knew
anything about what Ribb had been
talking about and iu reply he said
that it was all only too true.
Said Mr.. Campbell: "The only
trouble about the interview given
out by Rib Is that it is not strong
enough. He did not tell one-halt
of the things which the men have
been compelled to suffer since the
trouble came up in regard to the
mastering out. There were dozen
instances where men were COM
PEELED to do double duty on guard
for no other reason than that their
names appeared on the petition
which had been circulated to find
out how many of the privates want
ed to be mustered out.
"In a dozen other ways the men
were treated badly and it was given
out from headquarters that every
man whose name had appeared on
the petition should not go outside
of the lines for thirty days and that
no passes would be given out to
them for that length of time and
then only at the discretion of the
commanding officer, and OF course
when that thirty days is up if the
regiment is not mustered out the
colonel will be there to see that
none Of the men get any privileges.
IL notice there is still some doubt
about the stories which have been
told about the treatment accorded
his men by Capt. West, of New
Matamoras. l will say in this re-
gard that RIB let him off very cas-
ily. West is a terrible martinez in
camp, and he treated the men with
every indignity possible after he
found they wanted to be mustered
out and return home. know that
he called the men towards and told
them they were not soldiers, and l
remember distinctly hearing him
make the remark at Columbus just
as the men were about to be mus
tered into the United States service
that he would Shoot the fir
damned man that stepped out of
the ranks.
Regarding the provisions made
bv the government for feeding the
men, there is very little to say that
/ has not already been rehashed
dozen times. While there was IN
most instances a sufficient quantity
of everything it was so badly pre-
pared that it is no wonder so many
! of the men were i'll, and it would
