The Worlds Production of Petroleum

ne world Production OF Petroleum.
In Mr.. F. H ELEPHANTS report on
the production of petroleum in 1902.
published by the United States geo
| logical survey as an extract from its
annual volume of mineral resources.
a comprehensive account is given of
the progress made in 1902 in all the
oil fields of the United States and also
of the years development in all the
other known fields of the world This
means a statement of the discoveries
of oil and prospects for its develop
ment in Canada, Mexico, Cuba. Trim
idad, the West Indies, the Central
American States, Argentina. Brazil
Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela
Russia, Austria Hungary. Roumania.
Germany Italy, Great Britain. New
South Wales. New Zealand. Algeria,
Persia. the Dutch East Indies, the
Philippine Islands. Japan, India,
China, Hawaii and Korea.
Ho Noilu PRODUCTION OF petroleum
in 1902 amounted to 1S5.151.OS9 bar
rels. OF this the United States and
Russia produced 9144 per cent. For
years Russia has led in point of pro-
ductiOn, but an increase of 19.371722
barrels in the production of the
United States in 1902 and a decrease
amounting to 4.62S,515 barrels in the
production of Russia caused these two
countries to change places, and put
list. Our country has however, a still
more important advantage over its
foremost petroleum rival. More than
double the quantity of the higher
grades of refined products is obtained
from Russian oil. The United States
produced nearly &c barrels of refined
products in 1902 for every barrel pro-
duced by the rest of the world.
The purest and most valuable
grades of crude petroleum in the
world are from the Appalachian and
Llma-lndiana fields in the United
States. A very fair grade of oil is also
produced IN comparatively small
way in Sumatra, Java, Galicia, Rou-
mania and India.
Within recent years crude netro-
leum of inferior quality has been
largely consumed as fuel oil. In Rus
STA petroleum has been distilled only
sufflclently to meet the government
requirements as to the flash test, and
the remainder is marketed as fuel ne
troleum, under the head Of residuum.

transportation by pipe lines and tank
ships has made this variety of fuel

hand from the small amount of gravel
remaining. All the stones are saved,
the larger, perfect ones being valuable
as gems; the smaller ones being used
as watch jewels and in other fine me-
chanical work; the imperfect ones are
ground and mixed with diamond dust
and used in gem-cutting and for polish
ing purposes, when the product is
known as emery. The stones of the
Yogo vein vary in size from the smallest
to four or five karats, and as gems they
equal in value the best products of the
mines of Ceylon and Burmah- The
largest stones yet found in the Ameri-
cam Gem companys mines was taken
from the Fourth of July claim, and
weighed eight karats, and that taken
from the new syndicate mines weighed
a little more than nine karats. The
stones are very evenly distributed
throughout the vein, but are less broken
and some what better formed in the
deeper workings, although some of the
most valuable stones yet found were
from the surface. The sapphire color
is blue and the shade known as corn

NEARLY HALF MILLION.
That Is Value of Land Involved in
Controversy.

A case involving the title to about 90
acres of land accretions on the south
bank of the Kaw in Kansas City, Kan.
was filed in the supreme court today
Many of the large financial interests of
Kansas City are involved in the suit
The land is worth about $4,000 an acre
and involves a total of $3.50 900.
The accretions are the result of sand
washing from an island in the river to
the south bank, and this has some
bearing on the case. Annie B. Wood
and others brought suit to secure title
to the property, and among the defend
ants were the Fowler packing interests,
the Metropolitan Water company, the
Hannibal & ST. Joseph. railroad and
other large interests. There were a
hundred or more defendants in all, and
the plaintiffs won in the lower court.
The record in the case is about foot
thick and is the largest ever filed in the
supreme court. It contains 1855 pages
and cost about $1,000 to make it.

back to its earliest stage known to the
public and note the thoroughness with
which the young man of business ham
died the larger and ever larger affairs
committed to his care, or come down
through the period of his two stanch
devotions in the political world-his
championship of James A. Garfield and
of William McKinley-we see behind
each manifestation the man who went
to the bottom of everything he touched
at all; who would rather be conscious
of power than personally eminent; who
gave his whole heart to his friends;
who asked nothing for himself. but ev-
erything for the object on which he had
fixed his purpose.
There have been many opportunities
for Mr.. Hanna to figure in the highest
places in public life. He probably could
have gone into Garfelds cabinet; he
certainly could into McKinley's. He
could have had one of the great mis-
sions abroad. Anything that either of
the later Ohio presidents could have
given him he might have received, not
for the asking, but because the dis
penser would have considered his ae-
ceptance a favor. That he declined re-
peatedIy what most other men would
have scrambled for; that he even as
pired to the senatorship the first time
only because his friend, the president,
desired it, and the last time because his
party and faction demanded it-these
things speak volumes when we remem-
Der that in spite of them the whole
American people have stood, as it were,
by his bedside for a week and forgotten
the bulk of the news Of the day in their
eagerness to learn the contents of the
latest bulletin from his physicians.
If Mr.. Hanna had been a sovereign,
this would not have been SO strange, for
a whole dynasty might have been af
fected in it's course by the result Of his
illness. If he had been a veteran mill
tary hero, whose fame had been won in
battles on which the nations fate de-
pended, it would have been natural
enough. If he had been president. the
popular interest could have been readily
explained from both a personal and
political point of view If, even as a
senator. he had ben a great leader in
economic thought. or the author of some
tremendous reform, or by grace Of
peculiar situation the arbiter of the des-
TIMES of party in congress. IT would
not have been hard to understand
