only oil field in Lewis county. In the
northern portion of the county, and
near the Harrison county line a new
fifth sand field is being developed. So
far the wells have all been small, but
operators have great faith in this terri
tory and say it is only a matter OF time
until they stumble on to the pool.
Twelve miles west Of Weston in this
county is the prolific Gantz sand pool.
This territory is producing some nice
wells, and only few weeks ago a 400
barrel well was drilled in. In that field
much work is going on and many

soon have more, while every team that
can be hired in the county is being
pressed into service. The road between
Weston and Sand Fork is literally
crowded with teams hauling tanks, DER
ricks, pipe and other oil we'll supplies,
as many as twenty teams being seen in
one bunch. There are a large number
of big operators here looking for terri
tory, but this whole section OF the coun-
try is under lease and no leases can be
gotten. Capitalists are buying royal
ties at fabulous prices, one man sold a
Gath interest In his one-eighth royalty
for $6,000.00, and the farm only con-
tains 81 acres. The South Penn and
other companies are leasing ground for
the purpose of establishing headquar-
tiers, etc., here. Renting houses can
not be had at any price, and large
number OF strangers are here endeavor-

Weston presents as busy scene as can

superintendent, while resident of Ak
ron, succeeded in inventing tools and
discovered process OF mixing glass
which gives to the marble not only the
effect of a polished agate, Which is a
famous marble made in Germany by
hand, but is far superior to it in nm
ism, color and size. German marbles
are not uniform in any size, but the
marbles to be made here can be tested
for uniformity by calipers. German
marbles are made in but four sizes,
while our local firms marbles are 10 be
made in seven numbers. In the nine
arch furnace forty pots have been
placed. Tools are used that have never
been seen by any other manufacturers
of glass, and they would be entirely
strange and laughable to a glass house
man. The CATERERS gathers glass on
the end of his puntie and it is passed
to the roller. who shapes it and cuts it.,
and then it goes to the blowpipe boy,
who finishes 1t and melts off the lit,
and then 1t goes in grooves to the lehrs
and then to the packing department.
About 120 hands will be employed when
they get to running full. They have no
composition in the United States, and
nearly every family has one or more
consumers. These men in making the
marbles try by twists of the wrist TO
outrival each other in producing ex-
quisite colors Millions have been i'm
ported annua-y. Our local firm has
contracted with several importing firms
of New York City, after showing them
the samples. Most of the process is a
secret. The plant is known as the Am
erican Marbles Co., is incorporated I'M
der New Jersey laws for 100000, all
paid in. Its officers are: President
DR.. E. John Kaufman, of Philadelphia;
treasurer, N. H. Wagner, Of Philadel-
phia; secretary and general manager,
G. A. Meyer; superintendent, J. a..

whom letters patent for the tools and
mixing process were issued.

Both plate mills and the nail and tack
factories of the LaBelle iron works are
operating as usual.
The American Tin Plate Company
and the Tin Workers Union reached
an agreement last Wednesday at Ne"
York on wages for the ensuing year,
and employees of the plate mills here
controlled by the trust received the
news with considerable satisfaction.
The LaBelle tin plant on the South Side
may resume in few days.
At the lower Benwood works the
steel department was on in full during
the week. The skelp mill was of Fri
day for the purpose of changing from
the 22-inch rolls to the 20-inch rolls.
Tomorrow the mill will be idle to az
ford the employees an opportunity to
participate in the German Day festivi-
ties in Wheeling.
A large force of men continues at
work on the extensive additions for the
Riverside mill in the vicinity of Boggs
run. A lot of plates for use in the con-
struction of the stoves for the new blast
furnace arrived during the week.
Only one mill continues on at the
Riverside plate mill and there are no
prospects for an early change in the
situation. IL is learned that both me

Glasgow dispose of 1870 tons of gar
bage; 1900 men and 300 horses are en-
ployed by the cleaning department. The
cost of the operations for the year end
ing May 1899 was $365,000, the rev.
enue S750,00G. Not content with this
enormous revenue. the civic govern
ment OF Glasgow is considering a
scheme to utilize the heat resulting
from the burning garbage. This heat
is sufficient in volume to generate 500
horsepower of steam an hour, or pow

AT: Wages, judged by what the
money would buy, were good in the fif-
teenth century. In South Germany the
average price of beef was about half a
cent a pound, while the daily wages of
carpenters and masons, in addition 10
their keep, amounted to about eight
cents day. In Saxony the same work
men earned, besides their keep, nine
cents per day. In addition to this, The
workman was given a certain sum each
week to pay for the expenses Of wash
ing himself. This wholesome gratuity
was known as patching money. In
every town there were the needful ar
rangements for bathing, both in winter
and summer; and it was customary
thing with the guilds (the labor unions
of that day. to demand for their work
men a holiday once in a fortnight,
sometimes oftener, for the purpose Of
bathing. At the beginning of the six

earn, besides his keep, twenty-five
cents. A pair of shoes cost him seven

which astonished the oil world at that
time. Operators

two gentlemen succeeded in acquiring
about 10000 acres in Lewis county, and
for the past year have done more wild

State. Although they drilled over a
dozen dry holes and several gas wells
their effort to produce petroleum were
unrewarded, until a short time ago

WESTON, w. VA, Oct 6.-The Cop

of Weston on the Sand Fork of Little
Kanawha, and is regarded by opera
tors as the greatest strike ever made
in this State. The gusher is in what
may be termed virgin territory, the
nearest we'll being the Cox No. 1, two
miles northeast. which is 40 barrel
rel producer from the fifth sand. About
midnight, September goth, small show
of oil was gotten, which filled the well

Drilling was suspended until the next
evening, when it was resumed, continu-
ing about twenty-four hours, at the
end of which time the well came in a
gusher from the Gordon Sand. The
gusn came in all at once, blowing
away the casing head and oil saver and
throwing the oil in solid stream over
the top of the derrick. The well con-
tinued flowing in the same way all
night and has continued to do so ever
since at intervals, the men only being
able to control the well about twelve
hours out of every twenty-four. When
the strike was made there was only two
2oJ barrel tanks UP both of which were
filled in one hour after they had been
connected with the we'll. Three dams
were made in the creek, the lower one
