The Camden Well.

Not in many months have field de-
velopments attracted so much atten-
lion as during the past week There
was a general awakening all along the
line, and information was eagerly
sought after and the fact that the re-
ports emanated from many sources
with little basis made the interest all
the greater on account of the con
flictlng rumors.
The well to stir up the fraternity In
the eastern fields was the Southern
Oil Co.'S strike on the Camden tract,
near Weston, Lewis county. The well
was drilled into the sand early Friday
morning of the week before, and began
to flow on the ground at a rate esti-
mated at $50 barrels a day, and later
drilled itself in and increased its pro-
ductlon to between 400 and 500 barrels
a day. 1t was no wonder that apera-
tors from all parts of the country hur-
ried to the vicinity of the new strike,
located fully 10 miles from any pre-
vlous production. 1t was thought that
the opportunity had come at last to
get back into the business. It was
found, however, that the territory in
vicinity of the new well had been
under lease for some time, and the
openings were few and too remote
from the new field. One block of 5000
acres, three-fourth of a mile from the
Camden well, was leased for $4,000,
this being the only transaction in
leases of any magnitude.
Hhe excitement that was at white
heat early in the week had cooled
down very much at the close, when it
was known that the decline of the well
was almost as rapid as its rise. 1t is
the generally accepted opinion that the
producing sand is the Big Injun for
nation and without any salt water.
1t also has strong gas pressure and
to this causce is attributed the falling
off to less than 80 barrels a day in
stead OF holding up good and strong,
as when first drilled in. The location
of the we'll is further east than any
previous discovery in West Virginia
territory The oil was developed at a
depth of 1,495 feet and If anything like
a field can be opened it will make
cheap territory to operate, and with
the work now starting its status
should not long be matter of con-
lecture. There remains the possibility
that the well is only freak and moth
ing better, or even as good, may be
found in that locality Some of those
who visited the well and watched its
actions came away attaching little
Importance to its showing after it was
four days old Operators will push ex-
plorations further to the east than
they have in the past. There will be
new area of wildcatting in territory
tnat has not been looked to with favor
in the past.-Journal.

Ohio and rusts.

AAAS ~AANs NNSNSs
The attempt of the Democratic party
and Mr.. MeLean's newspaper to make
it appear that the Republicans of Ohio
are championing trusts has been very
lame from the start and Is manifestly
crippled beyond recovery.
A few facts which are already gen.
orally appreciated by the voters, show
the utter falsity of any such charge.
Practically all the laws governing cor
porations in Ohio have been enacted
by Republican legislatures. These laws
very greatly restrict the scope for
which any single stock company can
be formed. Under the laws of Ohio a
stock company cannot engage in more
than one specific line of business. For
example, a company may be organized
to build and operate railroad, but it
cannot under the laws of Ohio also
own and operate blast furnaces, steel
mills, coal mines, iron ore mines and
great number of different lines of
business.
One of the great objects of trust,
or the big combinations of capital un
der corporate charters which are con-
sidered trusts, is to amalgamate not
merely separate industries in the same
field, but subsidiary lines of business.
For example, one of the big steel
corporations owns iron ore mines and
operates them; it owns the railroads
from the mines to the docks; it owns
the docks; it owns and operates the
steamships which transport the ore;
it owns the docks where the boats are
unloaded and operates the same, in
addition to a large number of iron and
steel plants.
But this corporation was not organ
lied under Ohio laws The Ohio laws,
enacted by Republican legislatures,
specifically protect the people from
just that sort of a combination. That
steel company has its home in New
Jersey, where no restriction such as eX-
lists in Ohio have ever been placed on
corporations. The laws under which
trusts are organized in the state of
New Jersey, were all passed by Demo-
cratic legislatures. They have con-
tributed more to the formation of
trusts than any other legislation that
has ever been enacted. The contrast
between this Democratic legislation
and the Republican legislation in Ohio
is instructive and significant. 1t
shows the contrast between the two
great parties. Moreover, the Republi-
cans of Ohio enacted the present anti
trust law and have put on the statute
books all the laws under which all the
prosecutions in this state which have
been brought against trusts are pro-
ceeding.
Contrast with this record of the Re
publican party the do-nothing record
of the Democracy. If the Democratic
states of New Jersey and West Vir-
ginia, which is almost as liberal as
New Jersey in its corporation laws, had
been as rigid in placing restrictions
upon corporations as the Republican
state of Ohio, there would in all prob
ability, have been fewer trusts today.
Yet Mr.. McLean's newspaper and
Mr. Mclean, in his Hamilton speech,
as well as McLean's platform adopted
by his convention at GAINESVILLE, set up
a great cry that the Republican party
is the father OF trusts. Nothing can
be farther from the truth and the in
telligent people of Ohio will not be de-
ceived by the Mclean dust-throwing.

In letter received here from The
ron Ripley, who is now at Manila, that
youn gman says concerning the shifty
Aguinaldo that the Americans may
have him cornered before the close of
the rainy season, which last year was
in December; but If he is not cornered
by that time this year, he will still be
honoring new towns with the presence
of his migatory governmental head
quarters.
Mr.. Ripley says that military law is
yet the order at Manila, and many are
anxiously looking forward to the es-
tablishment of civil government in all
its branches, and to a consequent in
crease in business.
Mr.. Ripley expects to remain in the
Philippines till spring at any rate, and
the course Of events till that time will
determine whether he will remain.

A well dressed man in any eernmur-
ity is ever credit to himself, his
family and his associates, but it Is
often question with him how to dress
well on a limited income. This Is just
where Jas. Thueson, 223 Chestnut
street, touches you In earnest. AS rep
resentative of the. by this time, recog-
nized only largest tailoring establish
ment in the world, M. Born & Co.. Chi
cago, who are doing business in no less
than 1000 cities and towns in the
United States, he has during stay of
business which, proportionate with
present conditions, forms no small Item
in the volume of Anaconda trade. And
it has been done entirely without can
wasting and pulling people in from on
the sidewalk Integrity, courtesy and
business habits will fasten the average
mans custom to place, and the man
who cares for none of these will not
fail, at any rate, to appreciate good
work that's within easy reach of his
means. A late arrangement also en-
ables the custom er to ''try on his gar
n1ents in unfinished shape without
raise IN price.
Under these conditions and with a
million dollar stock of woolens to draw
from, the very best cutters and work
men to follow UP instructions, and the
undisputed tailoring reputation and
commercial standing of Messrs. M
Born & Co at the back of him, the
business lease of life of Thueson, 22i
Chestnut street, ought to be a long
and successful one in our community.

This issuing of a Christmas edition

Ing the improvements and progress
that have been made during the year
that has elapsed In the city where the
paper finds Its constituents. This be-
dng so, the Standard takes an extreme
pleasure, at this Christmas time. to
call attention to many important
changes that have taken place during
the twelvemonth in one of Anacondas
most prominent business Institutions
the Montana Meat company.
In order to better accommodate
the Increasing custom, the man
agement has. during recent months.
made many alterations in It's magni-
fioent building at the corner OF Main
street and Commercial avenue, both
interiorly and exteliorly. All that has
been done has been with view to the
greater convenience of the public ana
greater ease in handling the trade.
First of all. the Montana Meat conn
pany building was built With the stair
way leading to the upper floor enter
ing the structure from Commercial
avenue Obviously the stairway should
have been on Main street. 1t soon be-
came apparent that the Commercial
Etreet entrance was detrimental TO the
interests of the occupants of the sec
ond floor offices, and with a view to
remedying this evil, the change has
been made. The entrance now Is on
Main street. There is a handsome hard
wood stairway. and all the woodwor
has been polished to conform with the
new order of things. The change Is
popular one both from the stand
| point Of the public and the tenants of
| the Offices
Since the concern went into business
| in Anaconda the meat market and the
| Fulton market have been practically
| separate and dis tinct. A partition di-
vided the two stores and an unseem-
| ly office interviewed between them. The
| removal Of the stairway and the office
| have left room something more than
| 1a5 feet long, affording ample space for
| both departments.
! The walls will be lined with
| plate-glass mirrors, while the shelving,
/ arches, cornices, columns and other
woodwork will be the product Of the
most skilled workmen of the wood
! earver's art The trimmings will be
of polished nickel. The plans for the
| new fixtures call for an expenditure OF
more than $1,000. When finished the
| Fulton market will somewhat resemble
the handsome Butte market, but will
be on still more elaborate scale. 1t
expected the furnishings will be in
place by February /.
The plant where the stock Is killed.
east of the city, has undergone many
important Improvements, until now II
Is as complete plant as any in the
United States.

A PROGRESSIVE FIRM.
Messrs. johnson & Law Have Had u Busy
Year.

Year.
-Four years ago the firm of johnson
& Law, building contractors, was
formed. Prior to that time the MEM
bsrs of the firm had engaged extern
sively in the building business indiVid-
ually. -Four years of fulfllment OF
agreements, perfection in work, intelli-
gent direction and energetic business
methods have given to Messrs. Jonn-
son & Law the enviable reputation
which they now enjoy.
The past year in the building line
cannot be called a brisk one. yet
Messrs Johnson 6 Law have done
volume of business that Is entirely sat
isfactory to themselves, and they take
just pride In the fact that, while their
competitors have in greater or less
degree suffered, they have had all the
work that they could expect.
The firm of Johnson & Law has the
woodwork contract at the new court
house, and the manner In which they
have fulfilled their agreement IS en-
comium enough. AS In all OF the buId-
ings where the firm has had charge OF
the work, the same high standard of
perfection Is observed In the court
house construction. Mr.. Law is at
present, and has been for some time,
acting supervising architect at the
court house in the absence OF the reg
ular supervisor, Mr.. H. M. Patterson,
who Is East on business. Mr.. Law may
we'll feel a Just pride in the fact that
the county commissioners have shown
such a confidence in his ability and VI
tesrity as to choose him to oversee his
own work.
During the year Mr.. Law has given
almost his entire attention to the work
at the court house, while MIR. johnson
has looked after the firms other IN
terests. The more prominent contracts
engaged in in recent nqnths 5y
Messrs. Johnson & Law, aside from the
big lob at the court house. Included the
annex to ST. AIMS hospital, the re-
modelling of the NJ. Donahoe residence
on Hickory street. remodeling the gro
Gerry department of the Copper City
store, the alteration and improving OF
the postoffice and store building at Car
roll, the remodelins of the residence OF
Judge Napton and scores OF other
| building enterprises.
In late years the firm has been en-
gagged in the construction OF such mag
nlficent buildings az the Durston hulla-
ing, the Lincoln school building, the
Walton building and others far TOO
| numerous to mention. The attention OF
those who intend doing something In
the building way is respectfully called
to inspect the work on these buildings.
The firm is satisfied to rest their repu-
tat!on upon their work and ask notn-
ing more than a careful invest gatloh
Nessrs. Johnson G. Law are prepared
at all times to furnish estimates on al
lines of building, whether big or little;
and they are likewise prepared 10
carry into execution any plans when
| NAV be given them. The large force OF
| skilled artisans constantly In the en-
| nloy of the firm gives assurance that
no DELAY will occur upon any OF john
