OIL NEWS.

Over in the Elk Run territory there
is considerable work being done at the
present time and it is important, espec-
Tally that which is now going on in
the northeast extension. The Carter
Oil Company is drilling a number of
wells in that section as is also the
other operators, which have territory
there. The most of the work is in the
Big Injun territory and so far some
very nice wells have been the result.
The Carter Oil Company has drilled
in their No. 8 on the Day farm and
will have a big gasser. The we'll is in
the Big Injun and it is showing for
some oil. 1t is estimated that it is
flowing about ten barrels a day.
The Little Muskingum Oil Company
will start their No. 8 on the Martha
Thomas farm to-day. This we'll is To-
Gated directly south of the Carter Oil
Company's No. l on the Day farm and
it is expected that a good Cow Run
producer will be gotter there.
The Carter Oil Company has drilled
in its No. 1 on the B. Thomas farm at
Scott Town, and will have a good gas
ser with no showing of oil. This we'll
was drilled for gas and it was not ex-
pected that it would be anything else
as there is nothing but gas in all the
wells which have been drilled in that
section.
Fertig & Co. are drilling at about
500 feet at their No. 1 on the Harvey
20 acres, located a little to the south
and west of the Little M%uskingum Oil
Company's well on the. Thomas farm.
The Carter Oil Company's No. 4 on
the Musser farm. which was drilled in
about a week ago has been shot and
cleaned out and will be good, for about
100 barrels a day. Their No. 5 on the
same farm will be due in the sand
about the middle of this week.
Shay & McMullen started to spudding
to-day at their No. / on the Brooks
farm.
The Carter Oil Company has shut
down their No. 4 on the Moore farm
and will not do any more work there
for some time. The rig for their No.
5 is up and ready to start.
Shay & McMullen's No. s on the
Bohlen lease is ready to start and
spudding will be commenced In a cou-
ple OF DAYS.

BIG DEVELOPMENT

OF Coal Lands Promised in Mononealia
County Davis and Elkins Said to Be
Back of 1t.
Special to the Register.
Morgantown, w. Va, January %
The coal deal on the west side of the
river in which the New York people
had been interested by a local COM
pany, has fallen through, but the land
will for the most part be taken up any
way. Elkins and Davis already own
several thousand acres in the county
and they have an agent here buying
several thousand more acres. They
are buying it out right and not taking
options on the land. 1t is said that
their intention is to make a great coal
development il this county. The de-
velopment will lie between the river
and the Fairmont Pike and will ex-
tend clear across the county. The land
will be rendered very valuable by the
Stacking of the river, which is now 60
ing on and by the building of the Penn
sylvania railroad, which will come
through here this summer.

THE RAILROAD WORLD.
A B. & 0. Change as to Freight Train
Crews.
"a WRECK YESTERDAY MORNING
NEAR CAMERON-A NEW TEL
EGRAPH MEASURE-IMPORT-
ANT JUDICIAL DECISION-MIS-
CELLANEOUS RAILROAD NOTES.

The Baltimore and Ohio company
made another change yesterday in re-
gard to freight train crews whose runs
are on the Fourth division. Hereto
fore it has been the order of the COM
pany that regular brakemen remain
with their cabooses and be under n
conductor while he is on duty. The
new order does away with this and
gives the brakeman the privilege of
going out on any train in his right
turn. The company also have quite a
large number of extra conductors on
their list and all but eight of these
will have to go back to braking. The
eight oldest extra men will only serve
as conductors and under the ruling
will never do any braking. 1t is not
necessary to state the men recently
promoted to conductors will relish an
order such as this n is. The COM
pany have a very heavy freight traf-
fc on this end of the line at present
and a vast number of men are needed
to get the trains over the road. The
regular bragemen will be benefited to
some extent by this move and in the
meantime the employees will watch the
result of the experiment with a great
deal of interest.

THAT "COWARDLY ATTACK"

The ring organ yesterday had de-
cided symptoms of acute hysteria.
" two letters published in
the Register, Saturday, making en-
quiries about the sale of the old pump
ing station.
What's the matter? Is the city Wa
ter Board so holy a thing that it's ac-
lions are not open to public enquiry
and criticism? It's a public body, per-
forms public functions, and spends pub
lie money, and is, therefore, open to
public enquiry, and even to public crit
icism. And no "cowardly attack" upon
the honesty of the Board is implied by
enquiry or criticism.
And pursuing this thought, by what
authority does the Water Board dispose
of city property without reporting the
fact, with the price to be paid and the
terms of payment, to Council? II the
Board car quietly sell the old pump
ing station. it can also sell anything
else in charge, in the same manner, and
one could know of it
