Discovery Of oil in commercial
quantities in Mississippi and Nebras-
ka in the last quarter brings to %
the number of u. S. oil-producing
states and. with the new fields and
new producing strata opened up in
other states during the year adds
substantial quantities of crude oil
to the nations proved reserves.
These developments re-emphasize
that u. S. consumers need fear no
exhaustion of petroleum.

latest available statistics. Industry
economists make no predictions for
1910, however, but point to the I'M
usual nature of the war, the loss
of the Central European countries
as customers, the substantial Asian
and South American sources of sup
ply now open to England and France
and to the rationing of petroleum
products throughout Europe, as
evidence that the war may continue
to have little effect on u. S. pet

At the same time. Montana re-
finers ran more oil in 1889 than
in 1898, totaling 4,987,785 barrels
in 1889 as compared with 4,1O2 PA
barrels in 1888.
Canadian exports in 1899 were
but 23S,098 barrels as compared
with 356,01S barrels in 1888.
Shipments to other states. chief
ly Idaho and Washington, totaled
$4,000 barrels against 341,93S
exported to other states in 1888.
The exports for 1899 were not pro-
portionate to the increased refin-
cry market developed. particularly
in Washington where two new re-
fineries were completed during the
year but which took little oil dur
ing the summer months, owing to
the rail rate controversy. Not until
December % were the rates lower
ed to make shipments to Wahing-
ton profitable. Greatly increased ex-
ports to Washington may be expect
ed during the coming year, produc-
ers state.
While crude exports from Mon
tana totaled only a little more than
1,O67. 900 barrels, Wyoming crude
oil imports to Montana refineries
tctaled 1,S71,7S9 barrels in 1899
as compared with 1,649.701 barrels
in 1888. Approximately one-fourth
of the oil refined in Montana was
imported and three-fourths Mon
tana produced crude.
Storage oil declined steadily dur
ing the year, from 1,48O,604 bar
rels on January 1 to approximately
1,275, 900 barrels on Dec. 81, 1888.
This is considered quite remark
able in view of the fact that a score
of producers belonging to Produc-
ers Refining company did not start
running oil to the new Socony-Vac-
uum unit of the Glacier Production
refinery at Cut Bank untfl after
mid-year. Up to that time this pro-
duction had largely been run to
Expanded markets did not
have much effect on oil runs dur
ing 1889.
Kevin-Sunburst field showed the
heaviest drop in total production,
making 1.538,750 barrels in 1899 !
against 1.858,302 barrels in 1888. !
Cut Bank produced 3,448,654 |
barrels in 1889 and 3,36O,562 bar
rels in 1888.
Cat Creek produced 1918 bar
rels in 1899 and 211,877 barrels in
1898.

The public is cordially invit-
ed to attend.
Mind" is the subject of the
Lesson Sermon which will be
read in all Churches of Christ
Scientist, on Sunday, August 20,
1899.
The Golden Text is: who
hath known the mind of the
Lord? or who hath been his
counsellor? -. For of him, and
through him, and to him, are all
things: to whom be glory for
ever" (Rom. 34:36).
Among the citations which
comprise the LeSson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:
Now touching things offered
unto idols, we know that we all
have knowledge. knowledge
puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
And If any man think that he
knoweth any thing he knoweth
llOUlllllS yCU do 1IC ouSl1O W
know. But if any man love God,
the same is known of him." II
Cor. 8:1-3).
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cludes the following passage
from the Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: There can
be but one Mind, because there
is but one God; and if mortals
claimed no other Mind and &C
cepted no other, sin would be
unknown. We can have but one
Mind, if that one is infinite.
We bury the sense of infini-
tude, when we admit that, al
though God is infinite, evil has
a place in this infinity, for evil
can have no place. where all
SPACE is filled with God" (p.
469),
