OIL NOTES..
THE OIL MARKET.
From Saturdays Daily.

drill in an important wildcat we'll
today in what would be termed the
Cameron, O., pool. The operator
here and the Cameron country
parted faith last fall, but the Royal
has, up to the present time, refus-
ed to abandon all hope. They are
the heaviest losers, having drilled
the major number of dry holes IN
that vicinity during the fall months.
This wildcat venture is on the Hay
thorn farm and is located more than
mile from previous tests to the
southwest.
There may be found redeemer
in that locality yet and the south
west at the present time looks the
most promising. The Elk Fork
pool still remains very quiet. The
only recent location is that of the
South Penn Oil company's No. 81

to offset the No. Myers belonging

at once.
The market yesterday assumed a
more hopeful tone and as predicted
by us has started upward again.
Buying was comparatively light,
vet it is a straw that shows the di-
rection the wind is blowing.
The we'll on Campbells run has
been D. S. VS. theme for the past
week. Possibly it will be good
200 barrel we'll, but at that one well
or a dozen Campbelrs run Is sutl-
cient to hold the market. The field
situation is just right and the mar
ket will be better in the not distant
future. Broker Anderson today
disposed of 500 acres of shallow
sand leases to John A. George for
quite a handsome price.
From Mondays Daily.
A resume of field developments
during the past week shows no in
crease in production, and only
slight increase in new work. The
indicator still points strongly in the
direction of dollar oil.
The Exchange market is very
quiet, only limited amount OF GER
tifcates being taken.
Saturday certificates were quoted
at from &c to sc more than the
Standards offer for credit balances.
The fields present very quiet
appearance, and will doubtless con-
tinue to do so cometime yet.
In the Wilson run pool Neely &
Company will have a 4o-barrel
pumper at their No. Beaver, which
was at first classed as a duster.
In the Elk Fork field the Henry
& Mcdonald oil company will drill
in their No. 5, W. ". Gorrell in
the south west extensian today.
The South Penn Oil oompany's

delayed by dropping the casing into

pany is down 600 feet at their No.

The South Penn Ofi company
have drilled in their No. ]. Stack
pole at Stringtown, ". Va, and
have a 2oo-barrel we'll from the

a depth of $50 feet.

lies upturned on its side and sunk
deep in the mud. Its present posi-

of the tremendous force of the ex-
plosion exerted to the direction

George Helms, the ships cap
tain, has made a careful inspection
of the wreck. He was detailed to
this duty because of his perfect fa-
miliarity with all portions of the
vessel. Though Helms has not
made an official report or appeared
before the court of inquiry since

Reported Resignation Of fConsul Barker
New York, March T. The
Worlds Havana correspondent
sends word that Walter B. Barker,
consul at Sagua la Grande for the
United States, has resigned. 1t is
alleged in Spanish quarters that
Consual Barker's resignation is on
account of friction with General
Lee over the improper distribution
of American charity, but the
Worlds correspondent declares that
Mr.. Barker is a warm friend OF
General Lee. According to the
correspondent, Colonel Barker feels
that the American government in
its inactivity regarding Cuban af-
fairs has ignored all the consular re-
ports and that the consuls. to all in
tents and purposes, are useless as
channels of information.

mae scheme for the ORGANIZATION Of a

The scheme for the organization OF
fourteen club bowling league, which
was suggested last week, met with gen.
eral favor. The idea is to make it a
county organization. with two clubs to
represent each bowling establishment,
viz: Fette's, Mozart Park, Musee, Sci
bert's, Carroll Club, Y. NJ. c. A and
Wheeling Park. 1t has been suggested
that the proprietors Of the alleys each
donate $50 to the prize fund. This
would make lump sum of $40 to
be divided among the players at the
close of the tournament, either in cash
or suitable articles. A meeting to con-
slider plans for the projected tourna-
ment Will be held Monday evening.

ELECTRICAL PLANT.
Another Important Innovation in Wheel
ing-A Long Step Forward.

fDs-A Long Step orMdIN'
Another important step forward in
establishing Wheeling's reputation as
a metropolitan city has been taken
at the optical parlors Of Prof. H.
Shelf Prof Shelf has just completed
the instalment of complete electrical
plant for the speedy and accurate
grinding of glasses, on the most thor
oughly scientific principles. This
splendid equipment is now in opera
ton People who have hitherto been
compelled to send east to have glasses
ground and wait weeks, can now have
the work done at home in few hours
time. Prof Sheff's optical parlors en-
brace all the appliances and improve
ments known 10 the best optical sci
ence. No matter what a thing costs,
if it is needed. or ii it will add to the
completeness OF the establishment, 1t
is secured This latest step is good
indication of that fact.
