If So, Read What Uncle Sam
Says About the Texas-Loui-
siana Oil Field.
ITS EXISTENCE KNOWN SINCE 1860.
Chemists of the Opinion that Gulf
Coast OIL is Unsuited for Iliumi-
nation, But 1t May be Good for
Generating Steam-Probably the
Greatest Field in America.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The Texas
Louisiana oil field is discussed ex-
haustively in a report of the United
States geological survey. The exist
ence of petroleum in the gulf coastal
plan, extending inland for from 80 to
100 miles, has been known as far back
as 1860. The report says the ex-
IRENE porosity of the Spindle Top oil
rock favors the storage of a very
large volume of oil, and a very RAPID
yield when the reservoir is tapped.
But it also favors the early ehXaus-
ton of the oil in the pool, and its
rapid replacement by the underlying
salt water. Beds of sulphur-bearing
sand are reported from some of the
wells on Spindle Top, and beds OF
gypsum and of salt from others.
The conclusion is reached with re-
gard to the Spindle Top field that the
Spindle Top oil rock contains about
one-fourth of its volume of oil. Even
if the estimate is one barrel obtained
for every &c cubic feet for Spindle
Top, and a little less for other fields,
there should be a yield equal to the
Baku field in Russia, and a much
greater output than that of any OF
the other American fields.
The report says that the apparent
concensus of opinion among chemists,
who have examined the field, is that
the gulf coast petroleum is unsuited
for the production of illuminating
oil, and that it is doubtful if it can
be made to yield a good lubricating
oil on a commercial basis. Its value
as a source of asphalt and a gas oil
are, as yet, undetermined. The ex-
periments seem to establish both its
availability and its economy as a gem
orator of steam. Whether the Beau
mont petroleum may be successfully
used in metallurgical processes is not
yet settled.
The combined tankage of steel and
earthen tanks at Beaumont is, at the
present time, about 100000 barrels.
The estimate of the average daily
flow of 1872 wells now operating at
Spindle Top is not to exceed 10000 to
10000 barrels.
The total production, of crude pc.
troleum in the Beaumont Spindle Tor
field, including the oil wasted from
wild gushers and from other wells,
the local consumption, the oil held i'll
tanks and the oil shipped away, from
the beginning of 1901 up to May 81,
1902, is estimated at II, 6SS 900 bar
rels. The value of. well material,
tanks, tank-cars, pipe lines, pumping
stations, refineries and well produc-
ing. drilling and abandoned, is esti.
mated at about $7,640,000. On De.
cember 81, 1901, the number of wells
abandoned was %, of producing wells
131, and of wells drilling 46, a total
of 205. On May 1, 1902, there were 81
abandoned wells, $40 producing wells
and 60 wells drilling "a total of 352.

pr,.Ident Mitchell of the United Mine
orker Presented With a Gold
Badge and Watch.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 27.--President
Mitchell was in conference with the
district presidents, Nichols, Duffy
and Fahey, for several hours Sunday.
He outlined his case as he will pre-

presidents.
Sunday afternoon President Mitchell

monogram 81. NJ" in diamonds just
underneath the bar containing the
pin by which it is fastened to the
coat lapel. Below this is the button
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, from which hangs a pendant--a
tiny pick and shovel with miners
lamp in the center. underneath of
which is a medallion. The seal of
the organization in the center is in
the form of a breaker boy standing
in the midst of a bank of coal. The
presentation took place at President
Mitchell's headquarters, and a large
crowd listened to the speeches Of
presentation and acceptance. Mr..
Mitchell said, in the course of his re-
marks:
"These gifts will ever remind me
of the duty l owe to the great army
of workers who have reposed conf
dence in me and followed my leader
ship during the trying times.
"Ishall regard it agreatfavor if you
will express to the Polish, Luthuan-
ian and Slovenian people my gratitude
for the confidence they have so free
iy given me. I beg you to say to
them that my highest ambition shall
be to promote the welfore and ad
vance the interests of all the men
and women in their labor for a live
lihood. I look forward to the time
when strikes shall be no more; when
peace and justice and right shall be
secured for those who toll; when la
Dor and capital, each recognizing its
rights and obligations to society,
shall work in harmony for the COM
mon welfare of our country and IT,
general good of all our pepole.
Gentlemen, l thank you with all
my heart. I a not express my feel
ings to you properly at this time"
District Presidents Nichols, Duffey
and Fahey and other leaders also
made brief addresses.
Shortly before four o'clock, Mr..
Mitchell left headquarters for the
Lehigh Valley depot. He was ac-
companied to the station by a large
and enthusiastic crowd, and when he
boarded the train he was cheered and
wished God speed.
A movement is said to be on foot
among the Polish, Lithuanian and
Slavish miners to raise a large sum
of money for Mr.. Mitchell.
A large force of men were at work
Sunday clearing up the mines for gen
eral resumption. 1t is said nearly all
the collieries are now in shape for
work and that there will soon be a
heavy output of coal.

READY FOR THE CONFERENCE.
The Coal Strike Commission to he
gin Sessions To-Day.

Washington, Oct. 27.-All is in read
mess for the meeting of the anthra-
cite coal strike commission. All the
members of the commission are in
the city and most of their representa-
tives are here. The wishes of both
parties to the controversy will be con-
sidered as to the method of proceed
ure in securing testimony. Plans for
holding the public sessions, places of
meeting and various other details
necessary to be settled before the
actual work Of taking testimony can
be begun will be decided. 1t is ex-
pected that very little evidence will
be heard in Washington, as it is not
the desire of the commission to COM
pei the attendance of witnesses here
when the evidence they have to give
can be secured at greater convenience
to them at or near their places of
residence.
The commission will also determine
whether it will give hearings to per-
sons not having a direct interest in
the issues at stake between the mi
ners and operators, but who believe
they can give evidence of a practical
character that will assist the com
mission in it's work. Considerable ev-
idence of this character was taken by
the commission which reported on the
Chicago strike, but unfortunately it
was not of material value in assisting
that body to arrive at its conclusions.
