THE OIL NOT PROFITABLE.
Department Reports on the Russian
Oil Fields.

Washington, April 25.-The state
department made public today an eX-
..austive report on Russia oil pro-
auction, submitted by United States
consul Chambers, at Batum, under
date of February 26. AS an instance
of the almost overshadowing effect
of government royalties upon oil pro-
duced from government lands, MI.
Chambers points to the case of a
big well struck in November last in
the Bebi-Eibat district, which pro-
duced more than 100000 barrels in
little over thirty days.
The owners of this big gusher, says
the consul, are generally believed to
have lost money, for the royalty
amounted to five kopecks per pood
or 2.5 cents for about SO pounds, and
he says they realized but very little
above that figure for their production
Moreover, they were compelled to
pay heavy damages to neighborlne
property owners and to owners OF
property in a village more than a
mile away from the well; for a high
wind arose while the oil was flowing
and carried the spray over the vii
lage, and the we'll owners, it is said
must pay for repainting about all the
houses in the town.
The big we'll referred to above is
1873 feet deep, and another giant II
the Romani district is 1871 feet deep
Mr.. Chambers submits a mass of In
teresting data, showing that the cos
of oil production In Russia is consid
erably greater than in Texas and thu
California fields. He says that thu
lessees of the Bibi-Eibat lands hav'
petitioned the Russian government t.
accept a royalty in the shape of
proportion of the oil produced in
stead of taxing each pood fixed sun

it reported a plan whereby the work
In contemplation will begin at once.
The ground just west of the "Har-
vard," on West Broadway, has been
purchased for site. The lot is 50X
104 feet, and is the most desirable
location in the city for the purpose.
The cost will be $13,50O, and of that
sum $1,000 was paid today The COM
pleted structure wiz cost 100000,
the men in charge of the project be-
lieving that the best is none too
good.
The plans for the building have not
been prepared as yet, but they will
be drawn to provide meeting rooms
for the "A unions of the city and to
provide club rooms, lecture rooms
and reading rooms for the men for
whose benefit it is erected. The
ground floor will be rented for store
room.
The men in charge of the project
regard the scheme as an investment
that will pay handsomely.
In other cities, similar ventures
have been tried by less formidable
organizations than Butte unions, and
the results secured have not left the
outcome of such investments in
doubt.
j. W. Dale OF the Workingmen' s
union and Henry Rinehart of the Mill
and Smeltermen's union, are among
! the moving spirits of the building
promoters, and committee of about
ten active workers in union affairs
are joined with them in furthering
the plan.-Inter Mountain.
