New Volume on
Oil Is Issued

The West Virginia Geological
Survey has just issued new vol
ume dealing with petroleum and
natural gas. The edition of vol
ume | on these subjects, published
in 1899, has been so nearly ex-
hausted that only a few copies
remain for exchange, and hence
no more can be sold. The State
survey has prepared this new vol
ume to meet the demand OF the
public for more information upon
these questions, as well as to pre-
serve and render available for
EASY reference hundreds of valua-
bic oil and gas well records. 1t
contains much of the general IN
formation previously published IN
volume l, but the records OF oil
and gas well borings are practl-
cally all new matter. Many rec
ords from the Pennsylvania OIL
fields are given (including that OF
the deepest well in America. now
for the first time published), so
that all interested in these sub
iects will find in it's pages much OF
value. The volume also contains
full information about the meth
DDS of measuring the flow OF gas
from wells, pipe lines, ETC., togeth-
err with careful analysis showing
the composition of West Virginia
natural gas. and a publication of
Prof. Francis C. Phillips elaborate
paper on the "Chemical Compost
ton of Natural Gas" A full list
of precise levels and bench marks,
established in the State by the
United States Geological survey,
up to January 1, 1904, is also add
ed.
The State commission has fixed
the price of this volume at ST per
copy for the paper binding, and
$1.25 for the cloth (much more
durable), delivered to the Pur-
chaser free of postage or express
charges.
The following publications, with
the prices annexed, will be sent
prepaid upon receipt of cash or
ders only (since the survey is not
permitted to have open accounts) {:

week has elapsed since the steamer

North Brother Island the bodies of it's
victims continue to be found in the
waters adjacent to the scene of the
disaster. Yesterday thirtysevcn came
to the surface. making the total num-
Der recovered $50. Of these IT'S have
been identified. Despite the fact that
the police are bending every energy
toward getting a complete list of those
who went on the ill-fated excursion,
definite figures as to the number miss
ing cannot he given. From present
indications, however, it is apparent
that the death-rOll will total nearly a
thousand. Today nearly 100 police
men who speak German began house
to house canvass for the purpose Of
verifying the list Of the missing.

WHISKY SAMPLES
Exchanged for Clothes at the Sunday
School Convention.

A curious exchange was brought
20 light at the Sunday school con-
vention yesterday afternoon, in
which the "irony of fate" played a
prominent part. a suitcase was
found by a delegate, and thinking
that it was his own, he opened it
and found that his clothes had
changed into whisky samples. After
a little exchange and apologies, e,c.,
the delegate recovered his suitcase
and the drummer his whiskey sam
pie case. But the question is, chow
did a whisky drummer happen to at
tend the Sunday school convention.
