BLEAsE AND GRACE TO SPLIT 2
Political Friendship Is Said to 10 at
An End.
charleston Sunday Nows.)

charleston Sunday Nows.)
The political friendship that has
existed between Mayor Grace and
Governor Blease Is at an end. No
statement for publication regarding
the breaking off Of relations has
been made by either party, but that
rupture has come appears to be a
fact. E
There has been talk for some
weeks Of a break III the alliance
that meant SO much to Blease when
he was running for Governor, and
these rumors were confirmed on
Thursday night, when Mayor Grace,
in speech at the German Rife Club
ball told his hearers that year ago
they had had promises made to them
and had found them to be promises
only. Although the Mayor mention
ed no names, few who heard the
speech or who read the report OF 1t
next day doubted that the promises
referred to were those made by Gov
ernor Blease. AS a further conflr-
htIioh VI IHc IuluOIS ul rupture
comes the report from Columbia that
the Mayor while in the Capital City
recently had criticised the Governor
severely.
No statement could be secured
from Mr.. Grace regarding the mat
ter, the Mayor preferring to remain
silent for the present at any rate.
Nor could any statement be had from
Governor Blease regarding the rup-
ture. That the trouble either arose
or eliminated In the Governors ac-
tions In connection with the dispen-
sary constables here, Is the common
belief. The constables, some of
them at any rate, worked against
Candidate Grace in the recent mus
nicipal campaign, the report being

OF THE MAINE AFLoAT.
Remains in Havana Harbor Await
ing Orders from Washington.

g Havana, Feb. 1.-The wreck Of
;ssthe Maine float ted free of the mud to-
hen j iixa turned into
af6 ing the yTaek.. Tlie
water inside the dam Is about four-
teen feet below the harbor level at
low tide. 1t is the intention to-mor-
row to admit the water more rap
idly, SO that by nightfal the wreck
will be raised to the harbor level,
leaving nothing more to be done eX-
cept to break the dam and float the
ship.
Water was forced into the dam
through a system Of pipes fixed AT
the bottom Of the ship, the power
being supplied by a pump, which had
been recovered from the wreck.
Many hundreds Of visitors throng-
ed the dam all day watching the re-
floating Of the Maine. None Of them
was admitted aboard the ship, how
ever, for fear Of an accident. Major
Ferguson, who has had charge Of the
work, has received many congratula-
tions OH his success. The ship will
remain secure within the dam until
orders are received from Washing
ton to float her out, which can be
done within fortnight.

In the Harrison and Lewis
County.Fields is Point I.
ed Out by Journal.


Tho April number of the Natural
Gas Journal published at Buffalo,
N. Y, contains the following article
on certain alleged Conscious or Up-
conscious swindling" in the oil and
gas fields in Harrison and Lewis
countless ~. -
b The regions 81 oiafks6urg and
Weston have proved fruitful fields
for the get-rlch-Quick promoter.
The drilling of gas wells has been
the means by which hundreds of in
vestors have been separated from
their hard earned dollars which
they will likely enough never see
again. The following has been the
plan adopted ~ .As~smooth promoter
securesia lease on a lot Of very, small
acreage, at a nominal costs in d field
where a we'll can be counted upon
to give given number of feet. The
gas companies with lines in that
region readily purchase and agree to
pay for the gas from the we'll at
about three cents per thousand
feet. The slick promoter, with his
ever ready pencil, shows the in
weston that we'll at given capac-
ity, which may reasonably be ex-
pected, will yield given sum. He
takes the total open flow of well
as the amount of gas that it will
produce, and of course makes a
fowery showing of returns to be ex-
pected. He does not tell the limo;
cent investor that an ordinary gas
we'll will not deliver into a line
more than. ten or twelve per cent or
the open flow.
& IEhe &promised returns should be
divided by at least ten in the first
instance, to show what the well
will, yield at the beginning. FrHe
promoter knows Tor should know,
that a.gas well drilled on small
acreage with a number OF wells IN
the same vicinity, win rapidly de-
cline, and that the yield four months
from the completion of the well win
often not amount to one-tenth of
the yield at the beginning; and that
at the end of ten months the proba-
bility is that the we'll will not yield
sufficient to pay the royalty and the
expense of maintaining 1t. There
have been scores of wells drilled in
the neighborhood of Clarksburg and
Weston, by money furnished by in.
nocent investors, who can not afford
to lose it, that can not, by any
possibility, repay the substantial
part of the cost of drilling.
The promoter, however, is not in
Iterested, and cares nothing for the
ultimate loss. He secures his profit
in the beginning. 1t costs in the
! nelghborhood Of $500 to drill AMI
tshut in a well in the regions men
Itioned. The promoter sells from
height to ten thousand dollars wortt
of stock in each we'll, agreeing tc
drill the we'll and deliver II to the
company. He secures from hii
Idupes sums ranging from eight &c
ten thousand dollars. drills the vel,
at a cost of FIVE thousand to fifty-ive
hundred dollars, and in each case
pockets the difference amounting to
twenty-five hundred dollars and up
wards. 1t is possible that in the
early ventures the promoters them
selves have been fooled, and led
astray, by the promise of exorbitant
