STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, September 1.
There are over 100 proucing wells in
this county, some of which were drilled
ten years ago, and yet this county makes
no pretensions to being an oil county.
The Racoon CompanylS oil well on
the Leatherberry farm, is a five BARRE
we'll. Shaver. Keller az Kelley, of But
Ter, Pa, have located a new well on the
Taylor farm. A. B. Smith No. Geer
farm, at Port Homer, is in the sand
and showing for a fair we'll. Luntz &
Foster No 3 Morrow, in Island Creek,
has been gotten out. This well was
drilled in during March, and since then
they have either been monkeying with
the we'll or fishing for tools. w. G..
Kennedy & Co.'S No. Shave farm, In
Island Creek, is a light well, though at
first reported to be buster. Guffey &
Queens we'll on the Galbrafth farm, at
Smtthfield, is a buster.
w. f. & r. B. Brown will drill on
their farm in the new field opposite
Port Homer, in West Virginia. RObt.
Sutor, of Sistersville, has been securing
lases in that territory. Wheeling and
New Cumberland parties who have

a line laid to the new field.
Schmidt, Hill & Co. s well, one mile
northeast of Wellsville, came in dry.
Only about four well are being drilled
at Scio, and drilling proceeds more leis-
urly than during the boom. Nassau Oil
Company, ON Martha Crawford farm,
near Hanover, is fair pumper.
A4e production in the Conversion field
has reached the 1000 barrel day mark.
More wells are drilling. Those that have
been drilled in recently average about

15-barrel pumper on the Watt farm.
Cadwallader &, Co.'S No. 8 Fisher IS
15-barrel pumper Weir No. II well, on
the Hathaway farm, is 35-barrel pro-
Queer.
The new Cadiz pool seems to be ex-
tending toward the northeast. The last
we'll drilled in the Maxwell field is
claimed to be the best well in the field.
Hogg & Glover have drilled in an
other good we'll They contemplate
selling to the National Oil Company,
which has begun No. II Bricker, and
will drill other wells and also provide
a better mode of pumping their wells.
Several wells are being drilled to test

GROWING CRoCKERY.
ena which Makes China Inn
menseIy Valuable.

Recently there was sold in New York.
for no less a sum than $1,000, an old
fashioned china plate of the extremely
rare kind which is known 10 the col
lectors as growing crockery." From
the plate itself had sprung, to a height
of more than third of an inch, a sort
of eruption of beautiful crystal that
seemed to take the form of elegant trees
and miniature pagoda. The growing
crystals were gradually rising higher
and higher, and they had brought up
with them the enamel surface of the
plate at every point where they had
sprung from the body of the latter.
Such plates are q chemical manifesto
ton of the rarest possible kind, and
only very few years ago teapot, the
property of lady in Woburn place.
London, that had become covered with
beautiful crystals in this way, was sold
to collector for $4,000.
The clay of which such china is made,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, contains
alumina and magnesia, and in certain
cases these are so acted upon by the
presence of sulphuric acid as to produce
fibrous crystals thatare, in reality, very
much of the character of EPSON salts,
or crystals of alum. Only few, very
few, instances Of this growing crock
cry" have ever occurred, hence the
fancy prices that examples fetch.
The plate sold the other day had be-
longed to poor person who had never
attached much value to it.
