WHO IMPORTS FOREIGN
CRUDE?

From data compiled by the In
dependent Petroleum Association
from the Oil, Paint and Drug Re-
porter, it is estimated that the
Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey and the Gulf Oil CORPORA
ton brought in about rs per cent
of the crude oil imported and the
Standard Oil Company imported
approximately SIS per cent OF the
total fuel oil during the year 1888.
These figures indicate that these
two companies can largely deter
mine the extent to which foreign
oil will be brought into competi-
ton with domestic petroleum. Ger
tainly during the past year. any
distress caused by additional SUM-
plies of cheap imported oil should
be attributed mainly to the acti-
vities Of these companies. The total
quantity brought in by these two
crude oil and fuel oil
combined, during the year approxi-
mately equalled one and half times
the production of the entire state
Of Illinois for the year 1898.

GOOD VEINS

FERGUS - The Duke Metals
group being developed by Henry G.
Edwards of Fergus, and associates,
has opened up some heavy rich sui
phide ore in three tunnels and work
is being carried on in one of the
new tunnels with a vein in quartz
porhyry carrying good gold milling
ore. The indications are that the
vein would have a width OF 20 feet.
Cross cutting is expected to start
soon to reach the north contact of
the vein or hanging wall. One
tunnel has ore opened for over 100
feet with much backs. The veins
stand practically vertical There
are seven known veins all partially
explored and partly developed.
Some of the tunnels have several
hundreds feet OF backs The veins
average from four to six feet but
their later development indicates
some possible 30 feet on Vein No

for milling from the three tunnels
and shaft and other development
Some mill ore averages 1927
per ton with a large tonnage avail
able of this type of ore. Some
high grade has been developed.
running from $50 and $3.50 in
gold and silver to as high as $125

The ore is composed of iron
pirate, arsenopyrite and a little

for shipment in the spring. The
mine is located on Harmed creek
and has a large number of claims.
Two men are working steadily all

STATISTICS
STILL SHOW
ALL IS well

Statistics of the United States
Bureau of Mines still indicate a
healthy condition in the oil indus
try despite the efforts of the ma
jor companies to create a belief
that conditions are so bad as to
call for government control of
the industry. The report for jan
uary shows that daily average
crude production revealed little
change from December Illinois in
creased $4,000 barrels. from 259
competitions as against 296 in De-
cember
Crude runs to stills increased,
drawing on stocks, which is unus-
ual in January Domestic demand
for gasoline in January was 81
SAT. 900 barrels or s per cent above
the demand in January, 1888. AL
though exports of gasoline fell off
sharply from the December peak
the total for the month (3.63S,
600 bbl) was Is per cent above
the corresponding figure of 1888.
In spite of the high demand, gaso-
line stocks increased considerably

stocks of finished and unfinished
gasoline on January 81, 1889, was
