The deep sand oil territory In this
county is proving the most profitable in
the state at the present time, and the
excitement Is more intense than 1t was
when oil was first discovered here q
few years ago. Yesterday evening the
sixth well came In on the Eddy farm,
which. when operations first began, was
thought to be the rankest OF wildcat
territory. There Is room for four more
wells on the farm and the total produce
ton will not be short of twenty-five
hundred barrels day. The South Penn
Oil Company drilled in big well on the
adjoining farm yesterday and Huston
& Company have q well almost drilled
In on farm on the east side OF 1t. Ev-
ervbody who can raise hundred dollars
here Is taking stock in the various OPP
eratlons and hundreds OF acres are
being leased with view to early de-
velopment

Captain Coghlan claims that his
speeches at the New York banquet were
private. that they were exaggerated by
the press, that he didn't know they
would get into the newspapers. and that
he had no intention OF saying anything
offensive about the emperor OF Ger
many. In View OF Captain Coghlan's
magnificent bravery ut Manila, the fact
that he Is approaching the regular age
OF retirement. and that the German
government expects nothing more than
n reprimand Of the captain by the navy
department. the incident Will doubtless
close In that way.

WHEELING, APRIL a7, 1900.


Lhoouio S.iSo5ob Anths
A few OF the Democratic organs and
some other contemporaries. that are
moving the heavens and the earth to
create prejudice against the adminis-
tration. are charging that the adninis-
tration has regarded as treason the OPP
position to the policy which is being
pursued In the Philippines and is now
trying to deny 1t. The very absurdity
Of the proposition is enough to stamp
1t as falsehood. No one hns ever nc
cused citizens of this country of trea-
sonable Intentions for sincere opposition
! to any line Of policy that is being pur-
sued. There never has been an admin
istraton at the national capitol, from
Washington to Mckinley. that did not
have to face opposition to Its policies,
and in many cases very violent opposl-
ton. The word treason" means more
than that.
The talk about treason" and which
such papers as the Wheeling Register
and other organs OF Its kind are at
tempting to make appear was applica-
BILE to such men as Mr.. Carnegie. the
venerable Senate: Hoar, Carl Schurz.
and other distinguished ones whose IN
tegrity no one has dared to impeach,
was INDUCED in by many papers and
Washington correspondents. as well as
by few army officers recently. 1t was
in connection with the publication of
the news from Manila that an organi-
cation OF some sort in this country, or
a, committee supposed to be represent
Ing 1t, was sending letters and tele-
grams to the volunteers in the Philip
pines, brave men who have patriotical-
ly and heroicallly fought under the flag
and fulfilled the duty for which they
enlisted. advising them not to reinlist
In the government service.
This action, which was doubtless cal
culated to weaken the forces under Otis.
and evidently designed to prevent any
re-enlistment on the part OF those who
might desire to remain. was character
lied by some as savoring OF treason.
Nobody ever charged the high-minded
and distinguished leaders. who baye
been exercising tbeir rights of citizen.

any state is without two representa-
yves and pennsylvania VIII not be the

why they oia not eiect-that is mat

Is not responsible LOT tactional troubles
IN any particular party. 1t decides con-
tests on their legal merits. Mr.. Quay's
merits as leader are not the issues.
ihe question is the title to the seat.
AS 70 the second question, no one Is
apie 70 say, with any degree Of accu-
raey, what an extra session called by
Governor stone Would DO. Possibly 1t
would be the old fight oyer again; pos
siniy compromise might be agreed
upon The lntelllgencer simply called
a I'se| IN its editorial to the fact that
inc constitution OF Pennsylvania de-
ciares that the governor shall call a
special election under such clrcum-
stances. Inc governor took solemn
oath at his inauguration to support the
state and national constitutions. The
trainers OF this fundamental law did
not take into account the issues In
VOWED In any controversy between can
didates and their enemies; 1t only con-
templated possible non-elections within
the prescribed legal limit.
AS to the third inquiry. whether or
not Senator Quay should be refused a
seat In the Fffty-sixth Congress-" that
is question which only the senate
branch OF Congress can decide. The
lntelligencer, without comment on the
merits OF the case, pointed out that pre-

UTAH MINING DEAL.
sale of the Centennial Eureka Property to
Boston Parties.

The most important mining deal in
Utah for long time was the sale of
n controlling interest in the Centennial
Eureka mine, reported in our columns
by telegraph last week. says the En-
gineering and Mining Journal. and
now confirmed by mail adviccs. The
transfer includes 22,0O0 out of the to-
tai of 10000 shares, at II price of so
Il share, which would give n valuation
of S2.100,000 for the mine. The pur-
chaserS are parties connected with the
United States Oil Company in Boston
\ payment of S1J4.000 was made on
August list. and the balance of S1,3S6,-
Geo is to be paid before January list.
1900 The property embraces about
100 acres at Eureka, in the Tintic min
ing district. Utah There We're two in
dependent examinations made. first by
Messrs james w. Neill and George W.
Small. and second by Messrs. Richard
A. Parker and A. II. Holden. Their re-
ports substantiated the representations
made by Mr. j. Il. Bamberger, who
presented the proposition TO the Bos-
tonians in June, and the deal was
quickly consumated in short order
The importance of this change of own
ership Is of special note I'm view of the
large holdings in Bingham-Old Jor-
dan 4 Galena. Niagara and Old Tele-
graph-purchascd by this party the
past spring and now the property of
the United States Mining company.
While practically owned by the same

Independent of that company, though
under the same management. 1t Is
proposed to erect II model sfheltcr on
the site of the Jordan-Telcgraph smell
ter. near Salt Lake city, OF not less
than 800 tons capacity, with as little
delay as may be. Competent special
lists claim that these mines will supply
Il desirable aggregate Of smelling prod
ucts. The Centennial Eureka produces
gold. silver, copper and lead.
The copper runs from to 20 per
cent: gold $50 to 800 per ton. These
ores are for the most part dry and will
complement the Bingham pyrltic prod
ucts in the smeltcr charge. No ore
has been mined below the 30O-foot
level. and since 1889 the returns on

tions from the commissioner of the
general land office, as to the cutting

serves:
Referring to the provisions of the
act of June 4, 1897. for the free use
of timber, as regulated by paragraph
u. page u of rules and regulations

vised as follows:
ANY person authorized by the said
act to secure forestry reserve timber
for his own Individual needs may pro-
cure 1t through n sawmill operator or
other person acting as his agent direct:
but however procured, whether by his
own hands or an agent direct. he
should first confer or communicate
with you directly, or through the near
est forestry officer, designating the To-
cation, amount and value of the tim
Der proposed to be cut. the place where
and the purpose for which the said
timber will be used; stating what saw
mill or other agent. If any, will be en-
ployed to do the cutting, removing and
saving, and pledging that no more
shall be cut from the reservation than
he needs for use on his own land or
claim. and that none shall be sold. dis
posed of nor used on any other but his
own land or claim: and guaranteeing

is not precluded from taking his tim
her to the sawmill; nor is the sawmill
proprietor precluded from receiving or
saving or otherwise handling the tim
ber for that settler or miner; provided
the sum charged therefor is exclusive
of any charge for the timber itself.
and is no more than reasonable sum
to cover time and labor expended and
all legitimate expenses incurred in
saving or handling 1t. The charge cam
not be paid with any part of the tim
ber. or with any other timber taken
from any public lands.
1.-The stumpage valuation is the value

is determined by the locality and size
of the timber. the commercial use for
which such timber is sought, the de-
mand therefor. etc.
THE said provisions for the free use
of timber contemplates individual use

ton engaged in extensive business en-
terprises requiring vast amounts of
timber. are not entitled to any of the
benefits thereof.

convenient access to sawmills and
lumber yards where lumber and fuel
can be procured by purchase. are not
entitled to the benefits of the provision
of the law for the free use of timber"
