citation and Mr.. Fitzgibbon, and
vice president. The result was the
generation of quite an interest In
the order and Its workings, an iu-
terest that promises to soon crystal
lie into prosperous branch of the
order In the Sistersville field. The
presentation of the objects of the
organization by the gentlemen
named was fair, plain and con-
vincing, and made a great and fa-
vorable impression on all prese 1t.
The sessions of the convention
were resumed this morning. 1t Is
10 be hoped that the end of the
business will be reached some time
this afternoon. The election of
cffc RS will be the last order OF
business.
After the convention has ad
journed, 1t Is probable that repre-
sentative of the organ'z alton will
remain In the city for the purpose
of establishing a branch In Sisters
vile. Quite number of the oil
workers have indicated their inten'
ton of afhliating themselves with
the organization. and Ii Is thought
that a large lodge will soon be In
stituted.

One of the features of the recent
economic developments Of West
Virginia Is the remarkable growth
of the banking business. This IS
the natural result of increased
wealth and of an era of prosperity.
However, 1t Is not unlikely that
the business has been overdone In
some communities and that In a
period of financial depression many
investors will suffer.

WONDERFUL WEALTH.
West Virsinias Mineral Resources Astound'
ing the World.


Not until within the past few
years have the extent and richness
of the natural resources of West
Virginia been known to the world
Toward no section of the country
are capitalists turning with more
covetous eyes or more sanguine
hopes. The great oil belt sweep.
across the northern portion of the
State and onward toward the south;
the natural gas fields lie within
this territory; the iron ores and
Goals too abundant to be confined
In the depths of the earth, have
been upheaved into positions
of easy development, and
these treasures of metallic
wealth are literally bursting forth
In their richness from the mountain
sides, the massive masonry of
which Is itself constructed of lime
stone, iron and coal. These boun-
tiful gifts of nature have not es-
capped the enterprising capitalist.
Purchases of coal lands are now
quietly being made and coolheaded,
calculating men, sagaciously
watchful of their own interests and
ever responsive to the profered
opportunities of lucrative invest
ment are gradually carrolling ma
ture's elaborate wealth. The whole
Monongahela Valley region Is
even now aglow with founderies,
furnaces, torges and coke
ovens. Manufactures are spring
! Ing up to utilize the raw ma
terial, which centuries of consump.
tion cannot exhaust, and the valley
Is vibrant with the metallic ring Of
hammer and anvil. The drills of
the gas king have perforated the
porous rock and liberated the rest
less, mysterious fluid, and those of
the oil king have tapped the bowels
of the earth and caused to gush
forth from the subterranean river
OF hidden wealth a liquid stream of
gold.
The delivers of the mine have
penetrated the solid mineral strata
which sandwich the hills and un.
derlie the valleys and have discov.
cred enough black diamonds to
supply the world with fuel for ages
to come.
Five or six railroads, completed
and In process of construction, now
invest the Monongkhela Valley
with lines of rapid transit, villages
and towns are springing up, and
the restless, energizlng forces of
Commerce are creating an infuite
diversity of industries, and a dense
population Is flowing into and fill
Ing the valley.
The oil and gas development
was the forerunner of the coal de-
velopement, and the numerous
points at which the drills of the
petroleum king have perforated the
earth to great depths have rendered
the various strata of a large area of
the state as familiar to the geolo-
gist as the cuticle of the human
bcds to the surgeon.
Fortunate indeed is he who owns
a few acres of black diamonds In
these favored regions.-James 3D.
