The monthly report compiled by
the Standard Oil company and pub
lished In the Oil City Derrick, show.
Ing what the operations for May
have been, credits the SIstersville
field with having drilled In 81 wells
with al average daily production
of 67o barrels and 8 busters. In
the Tyler-Wetzel county districtss23
wells were d:i1,ed. AS we have
stated before there Is more drilling
around Sistersville today than there
Is anywhere else In the whole
knows oil country. Some people
may doabt this statement but 1t is
true.
Marshall county or. tn. Cameron
field Is reported as falling off In
activity. Seven busters were COM
pleted last month and only II pro.
ducers were brought In. These
producers only averaged "a barrels.
This large decline In the average
production shows the field or pool
has been pretty well drilled over.
Operations will. be still less this
month and unless something new
is opened up Cameron as an oil
to wn will soon be a thing of the
past.
Calhoun county Is about played
out. Four wells were completed
In that county last month, every
one of them were dry.
The Sand Fork and Bealls Mills
pools In Lewis county, near Weston,
are apparently thoroughly circum-
scribed and operations are about
over with out there.
Wetzel and Tyler counties, &C
cording to the Derrick's report.
supplied the largest producers dur
Ing the past month and their 20
producing wells averaged Sc bar
rels day.
This report says 64s wells were
completed last month In the Penn
sylvania oil fields, and that there
are o1S drilling wells and rigs up.
There Is an increase over April oil
90 wells and 52S barrels new pro-
duction. There Is nothing to show
anything only that the price OF oil
should advance, but this Is matter
wholly under the control of the
Standard Oil Co.. and what Its man
ayers will do no man can tell.

to attend the great annual bazarr
of the Cltizeus Fire Company. Of
Charles Town. They were the
guests of this company, aud right
royalty were they entertained.
When they alighted at the Engine
House from their hacks, they were
greeted by the local company en-
masse. Thence they proceeded up
Main street. with their hosts, and TO
jaunty airs rendered by the Charles
Town Drum Corps Captain Russell,
of the Charles Town Company, deliv-
cred cordial address of welcome in
the name of the citizens of Charles
Town, which was suitably replied TO
by Captain Finders. After the yisi-
tors had we'll feasted, Captain Rus
sell gave an exhibition of the ability
of his local company to control the
devouring element with its chem
zeal fire extinguisher. TO do this,
he had his men build an enormous
bond fire la front of the Court House.
aud when the flames had streamed
so high, aud the wind was blowing
with such force as to threaten the
ad joining properties, Capt Russell fired
his pistol. At this signal the fire
laddies appeared from some where.
with such rapidity the onlookers
could not say whence, and fell upon
the fire extInguishing the flames in
one minute by the watch. If you
don't believe these things ask any of
the BerryvilIe boys. And AS the town
clock chimed out midnight the boys
boarded their hacks, and arrived
home at 2 o'clock in the morning,
