WESTON, w. Va, October 13.-The
best information obtained tonight
about the true condition of the Camden
well is gathered from State Geologist
Prof l. c. White. After visiting the
| immediate location this afternoon, he
says
! All we could learn about the well
is hearsay. We were told it had flowed
25 barrels in the last seventeen hours
up to ten o'clock to-day, while on last
Friday and Saturday all reports agree
that 1t must have flowed 1880 barrels
| in twenty-four hours. The falling off
Of his well. if the report of its present
! production is correct, is quite phe-
nomenal and would tend to make the
well look like a freak as Mr. Rich, one
of the owners, told me this morning he
feared it was. The finding of any large
quantities of oil in the Big Injun sand
of this region was quite surprise to
me, since previous drilling in almost
every direction from this region has
shown this formation to be very limey
and broken and containing vary little
good SAND. My faith for oil in this
region has always been based upon the
possibility of finding it in the same
sand as that in which the Woodford
and Erwin wells found gas. which by
the way, is the same as the Jarvisville
sand of Harrison county, that has re-
Gently proved SO productive on the
Judge Golf and other farms near Wolf
Summit This same sand was encoun-
tered in well drilled several years ago
or, tho Summers farm fva 1oifor co CT
Of Weston, and it then held small
quantity of OIL These facts show that
the sand in question has wide distri-
button in Lewis county and ought to
prove productive of oil. But whether it

ments to determine.

oil situation. The charge is made. be 1t
true or false, that a united effort to
suppress the excitement as we'll as the
actual output of the Camden well. is the
whole aim OF the conspiracy. The Par
kersburg correspondents to foreign pa
pers as well as the Parkersburg papers,
have come in for their share of criti-
cism. Many of our people are so un-
grateful as to say that they have been
bought off. Be this as it may, it does
seem strange to our people that Hon.
Andrew Edmiston refuses $4,000 for
his leases covering 5000 acres in the
southern end of the county, notwith-
standing the publication in the Pitts
burg papers that he has accepted it.
And again, does it not seem strange
that if there was no faith in the field
that H. P. Camden, of Parkersburg,
would pay Deacon" Jarvis $4,000 for
his one-sixteenth royalty interest of~all
the output in small farm, and that
another Petersburg man would pay
81 900 for royalty one-eighth interest
of all the output on sixteen acres? 1t
must be said, however. that these leases
lie near the Camden well. Prof |. c.
White, the State geologist was here to-
night. He is accompanied by civil en-
gineer Prof R. L. Morris, of the Uni
yersity. Mr.. White said to the Regis

IS THkRE~pANsrk Apr,nq

In his address before the CONNER
cial Club, of Chicago, a few days ago,
in discussing the business situation,
President Mckinley used this language:
The boundless prosperity we have had
IN the last year and half has made me
lear that after al we might be OVERRIDING
the business of the country"
Business has not been overdone in
any legitimate line, and there is no fear
of commercial or financial trouble ON
that score. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the trust business has been
overdone, and the consequent absorp-
ton of hundreds of millions of dollars
formerly circulating in ether and gem
eral channels, has already created some
trouble and promises to make more.
This is where the danger lies, and if
the temporary but emphatic hardening
Of money rates a couple of weeks ago
should be repeated upon a larger scale
and for longer time, it is easy to see
the beginning of troublesome times for
business men. No country ever suf-
fered from an excess Of legitimate bus
mess; but many have suffered from in
flated financial balloons, from the days
Of the South Sea bubble to the organi-
zation of the present wind and water
combinations.
