OIL NEWS.

Special to the Register.
STECBENVILLE, o., August H.
None of the Eastern Ohio oil fields
present any new developments that
claim more than passing attention.
The Edminston we'll at Knoxville is
only rated at 10 barrels the Alban well
in Island Creek township is a barrel
well; the late wells at Port Homer are
only making a moderately good show
ing. Enough oil was found in the
Scott well at Smithfield after shooting
to keep it from being called buster.
The E. S. Moore we'll at Berholz was
drilled in at 1900 feet, and was dry,
but shooting brought some, oil and
other wells win be sunk.
Capt. b. w. Chapman, who has had
ar unbroken chain of success in locat-
ing wells in the Port Homer field, has
located another well on the DeSellem
farm. Chas. Newell, of Butler. Pa,
will drill on the Sapp farm. Strong
& Stroups will drill on the Taylor Nc
Coy farm.
Cadwallader & Co, on Ely farm at
Bowerstown. will make Is barrels.
Ohio Oil Co. No. II on Thompson farm
at Jewett, is a 10 barrel we'll On the
Mccullough farm this company has an
other small pumper. Donaldson. on
the Baker farm, is a u barrel well.
Three new wells at Bowerston are
Cadwaliader & Co No. 6 Fisher fair
showing: Veach & Smick No. CLANCY
20 barrels; Biggs & Co, on Wall, 20
barrels.
The downfall OF great expectations
OF persons operating in the Scio field
is evidenced on all sides by the de-
creased size Of receiving and storage
tanks. II is necegsary 10 ~perate sew
eral wells in connection to make any
profit Scio is alive with an army Of
rats which followed the incoming
hordes at the time Of the oil boom,
end they prey on gardens and crops in
fields in such numbers that a general
war of determination is talked OF.
The "adventurers" and ''hangers-on"
who fiocked to Scio during the early
days OF the oil boom have grown beau
tifully less and the men now in charge
OF the oil field, unhampered by snares,
are getting along eontentedly and sat
isfactorily. Those remaining are in
dustrious men and Iaw-abiding and
have installed comfortable, happy
homes in the field.

oldtime system cost for what
can be done for IS ceI In boot and
shoe making, the cost is now $S0 for

The Chinese labor unions exist not
only in New York, Chicago and other
large cities, but also throughout the
Pacific States, and are especially strong
III California The unions are COM
posed of cigarmakers, shoe manufac-
turers, clothing makers and laundry
men. Many jean coats and trousers
worn west of the Rockies are made
by Chinese. The unions include the
great majority who follow these oc-
equations, as every effort is made to
drive the non-unfon Cinnamon out of
business. He is considered as an out
cast by his countrymen, is boycotted
and blacklisted and sometimes muir
dered if the organizations think 1t best
TO get rid of him in that way.

CHARLESTON.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, August IL.
The unusually warm weather this
week and the absence of a great many
society people has tended to take the
snap out of social intercourse in
Charleston; nevertheless there have
been some very enjoyable social gath
erings of an impromptu nature.
The members of the Glenwood Ath-
letic Club gave a dance Friday even
ing. at their country club house, west

ent besides the members, a consider
able number of out-of-town guests.

\ number of dances and parties have
been given there during the week, all
informal affairs. but really more en-
jcyable for that reason.

In the :
WorIdOf L abOr.S'

The iron and steel industry has
made no improvements in the last
week. and there is little Improvement
looked for in the next few weeks, as
buyers are still cautious, and orders
that are received are generally small;
The greatest demand is for finished
products, as raw material markets a!e
almost out of consideration, and espec-
tally the furnace men have decided to
carry no more stock. The largest
buyers of finished iron and steel TO-
day are the implement makers, who
must have the material. AS COM
parison with July and August, first we
give the following in regard to blast
furnaces: On July 1st, 272 furnaces
Were in blast, capacity 274,703 tons;
August 1st, furnaces in blast, 235. ca
pacity 231.612, showing 81 furnaces
having closed down in one month
The following comparison shows the
total decreases: Decrease in active
charcoal furnaces, 2; decrease in week
ly capacity charcoal furnaces, $50 tons;
decrease in active anthracite and coke
furnaces, 10; decrease in weekly ca
pacity anthracite and coke furnaces,
l0,9S7 tons; decrease in active coke
and bituminous furnaces, IL; decrease
in weekly capacity bituminous and
coke furnaces. 81 ,521 tons; net decrease
active furnaces 81; net decrease week
~ capacity, 1901 tons.
The above with the announcement
that all the valley furnaces but three,
would close down September LIST, shows
that what the combined effort furnace
men could not do, was easily accom-
plished when lett to individual feel
lngs. This action will settle supply
for some time.
The failure OF the Amalgamation and
the operators to reach an agreement,
is causing much uneasiness and many
predict that there will be a strike.
The glass trade seems 10 be some
brighter, and number of factories
have placed fires under their furnaces,
preparatory to starting.
The Pottery trade remains about the
same, but if anything is on the in
crease.

Although this section OF the Ohio
Valley Is the home of the vitrifed paw
ing brick, none have been laid on
county roads, but they are about to be
tried for a mile below Empire, and in
Empire instead of macadam. 1t will
cost but little more, and the paving
brick manufacturers promise to pave
the stretch of road at cost in order to
boom paving of roads with brick The
experiment will be watched with in
terest.
The Standard Brick Works at En-
pire is very complete plant, as to
equipment and arrangement. They are
employing 80 men and when the capac-
ity of the works is increased so men
will be employed. Fred G. Porter is

plant. The dryer has five tunnels. A
Blake Clay cruSher, operated by

The lower Benwood mill will be
idle this week as the plate mill closes
down Tomorrow. 1t could not be
learned when this plant would re-
sumo
One of the plate mills at the River
side will resume tomorrow. This mill
employees sixty men. The National
lube Company shipped the largest
amount OF tubing last week OF any
week since they closed down. A new
coke plant will be built here soon,
which doubles the capacity of the old
and new plant which is now almost
completed. The plant will have about
140 ovens, and will be situated in
either Upper Benwood or out Bogg's
Run If the latter is used, small rail-
road would have TO be built to convey
the coke to the mills. The workmen
have finished the concreting for foun-
dation of the new furnace, and force
OF men are employed on the foundation
for the new open hearth steel plant.
The National Tube Company will
build seven additions on their recently
purchased grounds, extending from
4Sth street to the grading on Bogg's
Run, between the b. & O. and Jacob
street extension. These new additions
include rolling mill, power plant, etc.
At the LaBelle mill both plate mills
were on last week, number one closing
Friday. The tack factory also closed
Friday, but will resume Monday.
The Belmont mn is still busily en-
gagged making repairs, which, when
finished, will almost make a new plant.
All the potteres in the city are bus
lily engaged.
The furnace at the top mill is on IN
full The balance of the plant is idle.
The new machinery for the Whitaker
mill is being placed in position.
Owing to the hot weather the last
week, the mills that were working,
had much difficulty as the workmen

The Laughhn tin mill is rapidly get
ting the ground for their new addition
in shape, as the last house was moved
off Thursday night, and from now on
there will be mucn more activity shown,
and the foundation for this new plant
will be completed in a short time. 1t

company would like to get as much
work as possible done before the cold
weather.
The Laughlin shovel works is still
enjoying a good business and working
every day. They report orders COM
ing in very fast, and have about all
they can do TO keep up with the de-
mands of the trade. This plant has
enjoyed an exceptionally good trade
since it started.
lures have been lighted under the
furnaces of both the Beaumont and
West Virginia glass houses, and it is
most probable they will resume in
about a week or ten days. This will
be good news to the many employees
OF these two large factories.
1t is not known when the Enterprise
glass factory will resume.
Mann's foundry still continues to
work steadily, and is enjoying a good
business

The Bellaire Steel Co. expected to
close down yesterday, but owing to
some new export orders the plant will
continue and may not close down for
several weeks, if it all. The major
ity of this concerns product goes to
Europe, and this is given as one of the
reasons why they have enjoyed such
