Gas Wells Not Taxable.

Moundsville, W. Va, Feb. A.
An important gas we'll decision,
just handed down at special term
OF the Marshall county court, has a
highly important bearing on the
gas we'll companies of this state.
1t can also be construed to affect
the hundreds of oil companies now
operating In the field,
At the last term of the county
court the Wheeling National Gas
company made application for the
removal of thu assessment of their
gas wells from the land books. The
county court refused the applica-
zion and an appeal was taken to
the circuit court. Judge Melvin
IN the special term yesterday re-
yersed the decision of the county
court. He decides that gas wells
cannot be taxed as real estate.
This Is the first time that the
question of not taxing gas wells as
realty has been raised In the courts
of this State. A few ,ears ago the
supreme court decided that oil
wells could not be taxed as per.
sonal property. and this decision
from Judge Meluin Is the last
stroke in removing the production
of oil and gas wells from assess
ment books. The gas wells of the
Wheeling company, in this county,
have been assessed at $4,000 each.
This decision only governs In
Marshall county, and is not the law
of the State until our supreme
court says this Is law, and that
court not being composed of idiots
will not endorse the opinion.

The Man who Started the Boulder,
Col, OH Boom a Bradfordian.


The Man who started the Boulder,
Col, on Room Bradfordian.
The subject of this sketch is
about to leave Rocky Ford and
take up his residence in Boulder
He does not do this on account OF
any GOODNESS toward this city, but
simply as matter of convenience
In looking after his large interests
In the most wonderful oil region
yet discovered. He still holds his
interests In and near Rocky Ford
and values them just as highly now
as he ever did.
Mr.. McVey has been a deliver
into the earth practically all his
life, having received his initial ex-
perience In the famous oil regions
of Western Pennsylvania. He came
to Colorado II years ago, and as
the people In this vicipi;y seemed
TO want water more than they did
oil, he tufned his attention to bor-
Ing for artesian water. The many
artesian wells In the Arkansas val.
ley bear testimony to his skill In
getting water as well as oil. Mean
time he has found time to prospect
nearly ali over the State of Colora-
do, his drills having penetrated the
earth from Holly to Grand Junction
and from Trinidad to Fort Collins.
He undoubtedly has more thor
ough and practical knowledge of
the geological formation OF Colo
RADIO than any man within her Dor
ders and his opinions on matters
pertaining to it bear weight with
biologists and practical well men
alike.
As we have said, Mr.. McVey is
going to Boulder to be near the
scene of his present operations, and
when we state what his interests
there are no one will wonder that
be desires TO take up his residence
at Boulder. He has contracts with
II oil companies operating at that
point TO drill at least one we'll for
each of them, for which he will re-
ceive $50 per month for each or
the nice little sum of $3.50 per
month for experimenting the work.
> He has sold his own outfits and the
companies furnish everything. In
addition to this, Mr.. McVey has
one fifth interest In the Bradford
company, one-fourth interest In
the Central, and a one fifth interest
In the Mckenzie company. So II
will be seen, that he stands a good
show to make some money. This
will be good news to his friends and
when we say that, 1t means that II
will be good news to every one who
knows him. To know Charley Is tc
like him. He Is always approach
able and the soul of honor. His
word Is as good as his bond.
We are sorry on our own account
to see him leave. Rocky Fore
loses a mighty good citizen. We
wish him all the success imaginable
and hope that he will return to u:
and invest his money In a sure
thing-Arkansas valley soil.-
