COMPROMISE EFFECTED
In Two Important OIL Cases, Amount In
VOWED was $40, 1000.

Two cases which have been closely
watched by oil men in this vicinity
were finally brought to a conclusion at
New Lexington this week.
The first case which Is entitled Up
ton Holland VS.. w. e. Detlor has
been pending since 1893. The defend
ant, Upton Hail. brought suit against
w. E. Detlor for the sum of $4,000.
The case passed successfully through
the Common Pleas. Circuit and Su-
preme courts of the state and all three
courts gave a decision in favor of the
plaintiff.
The circumstances of a case which
has furnished litigation for the past
eight years are as follows: Mr.. l.. E.
Deaver, who owned a tract OF land
near New Lexington, sold the surface
of the property to Upton Holland with
the reservation of the right to all coal
of every variety, i'm ore and other val
liable minerals upon and under the
premises. Mr.. Detlor secured the
privilege of operating for oil on the
property under the terms of the origi-
nal owners reservation. Two wells
were drilled on the lease and produc-
tion was obtained from each one. The
man who had purchased the surface
of the land brought suit against w. e.
| Detlor in the sum of $4,000. In CIV
y1rbi ioh l.
caly identical in the lower and higher
tribunals the courts held that al
though the reservation included the
right of way over and across the prop
erty with permission to sink shafts,
erect tipDles, side tracks and provide
all other equipments nece -Iry to the
mining and removal of any minerals
found thereon, notwithstanding all
this, there was yet no provision for the
erection of derricks, laying of pipe
lines and other equipments necessary
to the production of petroleum.
The second suit was entitled Hat
field Bros. VS.. F. e. Metzger. G. H.
Russell and the Perry Oil Co., and the
sum asked by the plaintiff was 500,
| 900.
The grounds upon which litigation
was based were the same as those up
on which the first action was taken.
The tract of land upon which there
were four producing wells was a part
of the property ownew by Deaver ant
by him leased to w. e. Detlor. The
latter in turn assigned the property tc
the defendants, F. E. Metzger, G. H
Russell end the Perry Oil Co.
Both cases were Settled out of court
by acomuromise, the terms of which
are private. 1t is understood that the
plaintiffs in the suits reained control
of the property in addition to receiving
a money consideration.

QUEER WAX CROP.
Insects in China That Produce a Val.
liable Commodity in a Curl
GUS Manner.

The white wax crop exported from
China is made by the curious method
of using minute insects in it's produc
ton. These insects are found in
brown, pea-shaped eXcrescences or
gals attached to an evergreen tree
called the insect tree" The gals are
gathered in May and carried in head
long fight to the market towns by
bearers, who travel at night, so that
the heat may not force the insects to
emerge during the journey, says Lon
don exchange.
They are then placed in "wax
tree" which is a stump varying from
three to twelve feet in height, with
numerous branches rising from the
top, similar to the pollard willow.
The wax insects are made into small
packets of 20 or 80 gals, which are in
closed in leaf of the wood oil tree
fastened together with rice straw.
These packets are suspended close to
the branches under which they hang.
On emerging from the gals the insects
creep rapidly up the branches, to
which they attache themselves, and
begin forming wax that in about
three months attains thickness of al
most quarter of an inch.
The branches are then cut off, and
after removing as much of the wax as
possible by hand they are put in ket-
tie of hot water, when the remaining
wax floats on the surface, and the in
sects finish their usefulness by going
to the bottom.

CALIFORNIA ORANGES.
Effects of the Freeze in
Florida.

Everybody who eats them has
probably noticed that New York's
supply of California oranges has
never before been SO plentiful and
cheap and good as now. You can get
big, sweet, juicy navel oranges as low
as two for a nickel, says the Sun.
Florida oranges have practically
been out of the market since the big
freeze in the fall of 1897. They will
find things somewhat changed when
they get back. A few years ago the
superiority of the Florida orange,
particularly the Indian river prod
uct, was unquestioned. The Calfor-
MIA orange was coarse-grained, less
juicy than the Floridas, deficient in
flavor and full of a stringy pulp that
was both disagreeable to the eater
and hard upon the digestion.
But a wonderful improvement has
been made within comparatively
short time. The California orange to-
day is still grained and still
lacks some of the delicate flavor OF
the Florida or the Messina fruit, but
its favor has been vastly improved.
it is trimming with juice and the
tough fiber in the best grade of
oranges has almost entirely disap-
peared
1t is not generally known that this
horticultural device for doing away
with the seeds in the ripened fruit
was introduced in this country by
an observant American woman who
called the attention of the depart
ment of agriculture to it. This WON
an, while travelling in the province OF
Bahia, Brazil, in 1868, observed that
the oranges of that province were

in its membership a wise and dis
Greet example, but it has opened the
way for the formation of unions in
the iron and steel trades which will
be in the highest degree beneficial to
labor. That the policy of Shaffer.
Tighe, and their associates is not
needed to save skilled labor from
starvation is clearly shown by the
testimony given by Mr. G. III. Schwab
before the Industrial commission.
Referring to the experience OF the
Carnegie company in the strike of
1892, he stated that in his opinion
tbs unions were, on the whole, detri-
mental to the interests of labor. since
they tended to check individual am
bition and discourage the effort for
self advancement. He said that in
the Carnegie works not only had
skilled workmen been receiving very
high wages. some OF them two or
three times as much as was paid in
other establishments, but the aver
age wages had been regularly in
creased since the mills become non
union, In 1892, when the mills were
emancipated from the control Of the
Amalgamated, the wages were lower
than they have been at any time since
that date.
From every point of view the out
look for the iron and steel trades is
brighter than at any previous time in
the history of the country. There is
no speculative activity in sight, and
and no manufactured material avail
able for speculative purchase. The
current output is absorbed by the
current consumption, prices are
steady, the mills are well supplied
with orders, enough engagements for
rail deliveries in 1902 have been en-
tered into to keep the rail mills busy
until it's end, and the situation is
very tersely and accurately described
by Il representative of me trade in
Chicago, who lately said: 1.-THE only
direction in which Improvement could
occur would be in an Increased supply
Of the products made scarce by the
strike in the mills" This scarcity
will now be quickly relieved.
