UNITED OIL COMPANY
RAISES PRICE OF OIL

Througl, the Office of Crawford
Hill, president Of the United OIL
company, Denver, comes the In
structions to Field Superintendent
J. @. Johnston Of this city that
hereafter the United company could
mako contracts with independent
oil operators for term OF five
years and pay ei barrel for the raw
oil az 1t is produced from the bow
els of the earth. This schedule does
j not apply to oil that is now or has
+ been produced by the independent
companies and the present rate Of
seventy five cents barrel is still
effective.
Although no particular season was
assigned in the message to the local
officer for generosity of the company.
but 1t is generally known about the
city that it is simply because the
United wishes more oil for its refinery
and is willing to make the offer in
order to increase the daily oil produc-
tion. This, 1t is said. will be the
means Of stimulating new develop
ment for oil and no doubt many Of the
independent companies that have done
nothing in the way Of exploration for
the last few months, will start
their drills In a downward course and
assist In bringing the oil production
b ack to where it was some few years
ago.
With the exception of such pay
ment for about three months some
few years ago, this is the highest
market price that has ever been
offered for oil In Florence by the
United or any other company. The
information comes as boon to the
oil men. and the price is now at
such figure where many companies
will be induced to come here to drill
for oil. The investment is an excel
lent one II oil Is encountered in the
we'll, paying as we'll ~ most Of the
gold mines In the mining districts.
When oil il tapped In the Florence
field. the wells at first are sometimes
good for 100 barrels day and a. there
IL very little expense In operating
them, the profits are naturally large.
This new rate is an increase Of twen-
ty-6ve per cent over the old one and
will place the oil industry here on .
much better basis than ever before. s
This IL In line with the prediction
made by this paper some time ago;
In fact The Tribune stated that the
enlargements at the United refinery
would ca use a demand for more oil
which In turn would mean an increase
In price to the producer. Just how
much moro oil IL daily required to
operate t he refinery At full capacity
is not known. but there seems to be
no limit to the amount that the com.
pany will buy at q barrel.

STORIES OF EARTHQUAKE
Steamer Admiral Farragut Arrives
at Philadelphia With Three
Persons from Kingston.

Philadelphia, Jan 20-The United Fruit
company's steamer Admiral F'arragut ar
rived here today from Port Antonio with
three passengers aboard who were in
Kingston at the time of the earthquake.
The three were Mrs Albert Turner and
Miss Grace b. Turner Of Passaic n. J.,
and Edward W. LOngley of NewtOnviIIe
Mass. They were guests at a hotel which
was partially destroyed, but none of the
three was hurt, except Miss Turner, who
was cut by the falling debris. Miss Tur-
ner, who IL member of the Red Cross
society, said
Men. women and children were buried
under the falling debris everywhere. and
the cries of the wounded could be heard
through the streets When the shocks
came and the hotel walls began tumbling
we got out safely. There were many
heartrending scenes. but one of the most
pitiful came beneath my immediate no.
tice. We had found a mother and five
children buried beneath the ruins of a
cottage. While efforts were being made
to get the woman and the little ones from
under the wreckage, q soldier came up
and shOuldeTed his way in between the
workers. 1T was the w0man's husband.
When he saw his wife and children lying
in the wreckage Of the house, he stepped
back. and drawing a revolver sent 81 bull
let into his head, killing himself in
stantiy."
Edward I.ongley said of the earthquake:
4 had just returned 10 the Hotel ROYAL
when there was shock and the earth be-
gan to shake. Plaster began falling from
the walls and ceiling. and as I fled I was
nearly thrown to the ground by the ter
rible sw2ying. The heaviest loss OF life
was along ttarDor ana hlng streets, where
buildings three and four stories high fell
like eggshells.'
In a walk through the streets after the
shock Mr.. tongley saw nearly 400 un-
buried dead lying among the debris, and
he is sure five Americans We're killed in
