checkins-up System Of Banking Com.
missioner.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, August L.
If ever the banking institutions Of the
State were closely watched 1t is at
the present time by the force Of State
Banking Commissioner Mathews. The
interest OF the people is being safe
guarded in many ways by the depart
ment. Among the reforms inaugural
ed by this department to insure the
security Of the banks of the State is
a new verifcation slip, which enables
the banking commissioner to corrobo-
rate the statement made to him Of the
amount Of money loaned to other
banks, OF on deposit in other institu-
tons.
When an examination has been
made a statement is made to the COM
missioner of the amount of money de-
posted in other banks, both within
the State and without. The name of
the bank in which this money is de-
posted is also given. A blank is then
dispatched to the latter bank, asking
that 1t be filed in with the amounts
deposited by the State bank. If this
statement does not tally with the first,
the banking commissioner is at once
aware that there is something wrong.
A number of instances have been
recently discovered where 1t was
found that the statements did not
tally. On Investigation 1t was dis
covered that the error was merely
the result of poor bookkeeping on
the part Of some attache of the State
bank.
The system is similar to that en-
ployed by the. national bank examin-
ers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August s.

THE OIL Fields

operators In The lower southwest
fields are making little progress in the
discovery OF new pools. In a few
localities experimental tests are drill.
ing. but in almost every instance dry
holes have resulted. 1t is scarcely to
be expected that any new fields can be
located. but there is still a possibili.
~ of small pools and extensions to
the old developments.
The most promising u~ndeveloped
territory lies on Big Camp run. in
Sardis district, Harrison county.
There has been some work done in
the district and the finding of small
producers is assured. The last well
completed by Judge Goff on his own
farm is holding up nicely and there is
room for a pool in that locality. The
oil is found in the Gordon formation
and 1t is inexpensive to operate. From
20 to 40 barrel wells are not large but
of sufficient size to encourage devel.
opment work.
In the fifth sand district, on Kinch,
low creek, Lewis county. there is a
little new work starting. In this dis.
trict there is considerable territory
that could be opened at, a profit If
the market was higher. In this dis.
trict the Crude Oil Company is due in
the fifth sand at its No. 4 on the S.
and L. E. Gill farm.
On Ann Moore run, Clark district.
Harrison county, the Clarksburg Heat
and Light Company has started to
drill a test on the John R. Stout
farm. On the same stream the Gras-
vile Oil Company is due in the sand
at a test on the Park Coal Company's
lands.
In the Redwood run district, Wet
eel county, Trees & Brast have drill
ed their No. 3 on the J.. Morris farm
into the Big Injun, and have a show
for a natural producer good for 80
barrels a day in the Big Injun.
In the Smithfield district, the South
Penn Oil Company has drilled it's No.
80 On the H. L. Smith farm through
the fourth sand and found nothing and
will now give it a shot and test in
the Gordon.
The same company is drilling in
the bottom of the Gordon at its No. 3
on the Samuel Cummings farm and
has a light show of oil.
In the Wallace district, Harrison
county, the South Penn Oil Company
has drilled its second test on the NJ.
A. Barker farm through the Gordon
and has a little show of oil.
On Morgan run, Grant district, Wet
eel county, the Wheeling Gas Com
pany has drilled its test on the top Of
the Gordon and has found no oil or
gas. In the Littleton district, the
Hope Gas Company has shot its test
on the Henry Shriver farm, but 1t fail
ed to respond.
In the Fallen Timber run district,
Wetzel county, the Parker G Edwards
Oil Company has started to drill at a
test on the D. B. Fisher farm. On
Prices Fork, Grant district, wetzel
county, Smith & carnahan have made
the location for a test on the G. w.
Price farm.
On Buffalo run, Warrington district,
Marion county, the Home Natural
Gas Company is due in the sand at its
test on the J. Campbell farm.
