Everett, W. Va, Jan. 17.-Ev-
erything has been very quiet in
oil circles here for time, but we
are looking for some new devel-
opments soon. We learn that a
we'll will be drilled on j. E. Nor
gan's farm, south of Friendly.
They are hauling the rig to the
location. d. G. Furman and 9TH
ers are going to drill a well at
once on the Lena Gorrell farm,
near Shiloh. 1t will be drilled to
Big Injun sand. Turbin & COM
pany are drilling a well with a
Star drilling machine on the farm
of James Sweeney, near the
mouth of Big Buffalo creek, on
Middle Island. 1t will be drill
ed to Big Injun sand, and if no
oil is found above that forma-
ton they are ready to begin spud-
ding. The best field in Union dis
trict today, where the most work
is going on, is in the vicinity of
Little PostOffice, where Capt.
Jones drilled in his famous Dye
Brooks we'll years ago. The field
has been dead for years until
about year ago when it started
up again. It now has about Is
producing wells and others
drilling. A well was drilled in a
few days ago on the Dye-Brooks
farm that is producing 40 barrels
daily. Capt. Jones had long ago
abandoned the lease.

In the Baker oil fields Of Rus
STA the workmen have struck for
shorter hours and higher pay.
Over 5000 men are involved and
in their frenzy have destroyed
much property. Over 200 oil
wells are said to be burning.
What would happen to the Stand
ard Oil company should Dan
ODay's bumpers take it into
their heads to strike for shorter
hours, more pay and deliverance
from slavery? The Standard Oil
company is the largest owner of
producing property as well as
pipe lines and refineries, and it is
the real anarchist. The people at
large are law-abiding, patient and
hng-suffering. The Standard Oil
company ignores laws, ruins men
at will and confscates property,
The Standard Oil company is
above fear, and yet what would
happen should Dan O'Day s
bumpers go On a strike?

Battleships in Fleet
That Passes Singapore

LONDo oN, April PA dispatch to
Lloyds from Singapore says the Rus
sian feet. which passed there on Satur-
day, consisted of seven battleships, two
aTmored cruisers, five unarmored cruis-
ers, three converted cruisers, seven de-
stroyers, seventeen steamers, one hos
nital ship, and one tug.
Reports as to the number of battle
ships in this feet have been contra
Ndictory. A report to the Reuter- Tele-
gram Company said that no battleships
We're in the squadron.
This led to the belief that Admiral
Rogestvensky himself, with the fleet of
strongest vessels. had taken some other
passage into the China sea The dis
patch today to Lloyds contradicts the
Reuter- message.
The Japanese embassy is inclined to
believe that the dispatch to Lloyds is
correct and the Reuter- message wrong
The prevailing opinion among British
naval stratagists Sc ,ns to be that there
is little likelihood of battle between
the Russian and Japanese fleets at an
early date
The Washington times., 1905-04-12

Japanese cruisers known to be off
Cape st. James. near the port of Saigon.
Naval officers say they regard this as
direct movement on the part of the
japanese fleet. They do not think it
likely that the big armored cruisers
would be acting as scout boats in the
China seas, and as Japan has no mer-
chant ships to protect there it is prob
able they are on an offensive mission.
The cruiser AdZuma, which was one of
those recognized, is one of the best
equipped armored ships in the world.
She has a displacement of nearly To- 600
tons, speed of twenty-one knots, and
carries four S-inch guns and twelve g.
men guns in addition to her batteries of
quick firers.
The other cruisers seen were of the
same type, and it Is probable they are
gong west to rendezvous where they
can prepare for an attack on the squad
ron now at Natuna Island. The naval
of1cers here say that this Russian
The only battleship with it is of old
type and the three modern cruisers
would not be a match for those of ia
pan. For these reasons 1t is believed
Iogo meditates an attack If good op-
Portunity offers, and will attempt at
ieast to destroy some of the fighting
power of this fleet.
Togo's Fleet Sighted
1t is now known definitely that Ad-
miral Togo's battleships have their
headquarters on the northern end of the
Island of Formosa This permits him
to shift his feet UP the Eastern sea to
Japan or southeast into the Pacific
ocean should the Russian battleshfps
take either route. His main fighting
fleet was seen on last Thursday by the
snip Suydam, in from the porJ OF Fu-
chow.
The battleships were at anchor off the
port of kelung. Seventeen cruisers of
all classes were counted, and there was
small feet of dispatch boats, torpedo
boat destroyers and mine ships. On the
following morning the Suydam passed
within eight miles of two Japanese gun
boats bound east, evidently coming
from the China sea. and probably those
which were reported from Singapore five
days ago.
The packet ship Timor, from New
Guinea, reports Japanese war vessels.
four in number. 200 miles south of Min
danao island, which shows that all tn.
ocean routes are being patrolled by the
Japanese fleet. and that in all proba-
biiity Admiral Togo is in consplete
touch with the movements of the
enemy. It is regarded here as doubtful

Russian feet is combined, and it is al
most certain that within very few
days he will begin night attacks If not

sian WarShipS now northeast of Singa-
pcre.
The best authorities here believe that
the Russian battleships under Rogest-
yenSky will not attempt to esca pc
Togo's feet. They have nothing to gain
by sailing through the Pacific ocean
and rounding Japan on the north. They
would be exposed to a series of sea
mines, and if not destroyed by them
would have no possible chance to escape
southwark if defeated in a battle. The
