4 COAL BOOM.

There is considerable speculation as
to the probable outcome of the present
leasing of large tracts of coal land in
this vicinity. Quite a number of the
farmers ate giving six months options,
the price offered being $55 an acre.
Options were given lately by Edward
Dorsey, John Price, Russell Dorsey, Jas.
Luke and others, and were taken by
W. V. Hoge & Co, Of Wheeling. Some
think that a shaft will be opened by a
new company, while others are of the
opinion that spectators are purchasing
for future developments. As stated,
Messrs. w. H. Ullum and w. f. Schaf-
fer. of Wheeling, have been granted
a franchise for a right of way for a
broad gauge railway extending from
the Benwood corporation line in the
vicinity of Boggs' run to a point out
in the county, where there is much coal
land. 1t appears certain that a coal

NEW COKE OVENS.

The force of men at work on the
new Riverside coke ovens consists of
sixty bricklayers and thirty stonema-
sons, and the operations are progress
ing satisfactorily. The arches on both
the east and west sections are about
completed. and the iron work will be
put up shortly. A large consignment
of lumber has arrived for a temporary
roof to be placed over the structure
to prevent the work from being him
dered by unfavorable weather during
the winter. The contractor expects TO
have the new works in shape for opera
lions about the first of the coming May.
The big coal crusher is now in run
ming order and a large amount OF the
"black mineral is being prepared for
the old ovens. 1t is the intention OF
the Riverside to keep the coal enclosure
well stocked. A sufficient amount of the
product will therefore be on hand to
keep the ovens going in case something
happens to prevent the shipments OF
coal from the fields. The Riverside is
providing for the manufacture Of coke
on a very elaborate scale and very
large supplies of oils, tar and gas will
be derived from the process.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va. September
29.-The well on the Pugh farm, be-
longing to the Henderson Oil Company,
back of Williamstown, is pouring forth
a stream of golden wealth that is
making the hearts of the owners glad.
Tie we'll was drilled n screw into
the sand when it began flowing at the
rate of 400 barrels a day. Later in the
week it was drilled a few feet deeper
and increased its production to 500 bar
rels. When it is entirely drilled in it
is expected that the production will
exceed this figure. 1t is one of the
largest wells ever struck in this section
and is surrounded by dry holes, on
territory that has been condemned by
experienced operators. At the present
price of oil the we'll has already paid
for itself several times over
