DISCOVERY OF OIL
BOOMS MLVILLE
Speculators and Investors
Flood Jersey Town in
Wake of Find
STEELMAN WELL GROWS
Reports Credit Operations With
Production of 20 Barrets of
Precious Fluid a Day
By a Staff Corrttvendtnt
MILLVILLE, U. J Nov. 28. Mlllvlllo
fa) sliding- to prosperity on the crest ot an
II boom. '
Enthusiasm la running riot throughout
thla huitllne manufacturing town. Ileal es
tate values are rlnlngr with 'leapt Anil
bounds, and everybody from the taxi cab
blea at the station to tho officials of the local
banks Is talking oil.
This atftto of affairs Is duo to the report
that the oil well sunk on the estate ot
Louli -Steolman Is yielding twenty barrels a
day. The news quickly flashed across the
country, and now Mlllvllle Is besleg-ed with
speculators, land grabbers, oil experts from
the bis companies, and boom followers gen
erally. Many of them are welt dressed, gllb
tonguod and persevering, and make no
secret of the fact that they are here to
buy all Oil land which follows the golden
trait.
Bteelman said today that 18,000 ncres
of land had already been leased In Cumber
land County In which the present well was
discovered. In Atlantic County, It la said,
15,000 more acres have been leased. The
discovery of the oil woa made by Dr. Hugo
von Fag-en, a well-known geologist, who
haa been making Investigation In New Jer
sey in thla connection for several years. Mb
discovery, Incidentally, has shattered pre
vious geological theories.
The well la now down to a depth of 800
feet, It la said, and the operators Bay they
Intend to go down 'about 1000 feet more.
The big yield In the upper Btrata, they say,
Indicates a big harvest when they get down
further. In fact, many believe It will be a
comparatively short time before they strike
a gusher.
Analysis of the oil. according to ono of
the operators, showed flfty-flve per cent
gasoline, thirteen per cent keroaeno and a
nigh percentage of paramno. The oil pro
duced from the Stcelman well seems to
possess magical properties. One of the
operators made the somewhat surprising
statement mat ho took a quantity of It In
Its raw state right from tho well and used
it to run his automobllo from the oil well
to Mlllvllle, moro than three miles away.
NO STOCK FOIl SALE?
All those who aro on the ground floor
of the proposition emphatically declared
there was no stock for nalo. They are" ap
parently optimistic as to tho outcome. Their
chief object seems to be to acquire great
stretches of land In which to sink more
wells. Steelman also pi npfy frowned
at the suggestion that jttock was to bo
sold. Despite his attltudo, however, there
appeared In tho ,Bridgeton News of Satur
day tho following advertisement
"Oil discovered In Mlllvllle I All oil
stocks going upl One thousand shares for
$10. Make checks payable to cash. L. S..
care News office."
Directly under this advertisement una
another, urging readers to buy stock In an
oil company In Oklahoma City.
STEELMAN REPUDIATES "AD"
When shown the advertisement In tho
Srldgeton paper, Steelman was amazed.
"I notice the .Initiate L. S," he said, "which
conveys tho Impression that I placed the
EcS""ad. But there Is no foundation for such
a conclusion, it loous as though somo one
was trying to place me In a wrong light,
I never Insertod such an advertisement, and
no one nan had any authority to offer for
sale a single share of stock In this well."
On further questioning, however, Steel
man admitted that a company would be
formed on Wednesday. It will be known
aa the Steelman Realty, Oas and Oil Com
pany," ho said, "and will have a paid-in
Capital of $300,000. There will be only
500 shares for sale at UOU a share."
The officers of the company are all mem
bers of Steelman's family. Steelman hlm
helf Is president His son, M. A. Steelman,
Is secretary and treasurer, and Leroy Steel
man, another son. Is vice president.
Steelman denied that the well was yielding-
twenty barrels a day, but declined to
say just what the dally output wnB. "Theie
has been a great deal of talk going an,"
he said, "but I don't believe In going to
extremes. I am going to protect my friends
and not let any of them Ao anything rash
through exaggerated statements."
LAND PRICES SOAR
The case of Thomas Mayhue Is an Illus
tration of the Jump In land values. A year
ego Mayhue would have sold his eight
acre estate for 1600. Now he will not take
a cent less than $20,000. In many Instances
It was shown that ground worth about 175
an acre had now jumped to $160.
A dash of the picturesque has been In
jected Into the boom by the oil scouts who
are out after land. Some represent big con
cerns In the West; others are free-lancing
with the hope of selling the ground leases
for big sums later on.
OIL SCOUTS BUSY
These scouts have already cornered the
market on taxis. Armed with leases ready
to Blgn, they start out In the morning and
Invade every section of Cumberland County.
If one is suspected of having a lead on the
lay ot the oil land, lie Is trailed by the
others. But somo of the farmers are sus
picious. They don't believe In signing any
thing. "I guess we'll wait a while," Is the
reply of many ; "if It's good oil it'll keep."
When one scout leases a piece of land the
others make every effort to lease another
strip close by.
Tiese scouts also keep a sharp eye on
the railroad station for all strangers who
look as though they may have oil ambi
tions. They follow visitors to the Steelman
well and have ways of finding out Just what
he Intends to do. There Is a steady stream
of visitors to the well all day long, but they
cannot get very close to It There la a fence
around ft and a number of sturdy guards,
wSa see that all unknowns get nothing but
a bird's-eye glimpse.
DESOLATE SCENE
" The little well is tho only sign of activity
In the immediate neighborhood. Clustered
about It are a half dozen little shacks and
a bungalow, In which the drillers and care
takers sleep. And all around the well are
.hundreds and hundreds of straggling and
stunted pines, which add to the desolation
of the scene. The big derrick over the
Well towers like a lone sentinel, but It will
soon have companions, say the oil men.
There Is nothing picturesque In digging
for oil, the operators say, and they look
forward to the time however when the
straggling trees will make way for more
4 derricks and wells and the buildings which
KQ with a prosperous ol) operation.
In drilling, according to one of the opera
tors, a great variety of formation was en
countered. After 100 feet ot sand and clay
a four-foot vein of forty-seven per cent Iron
or was struck. This was followed by a
small per cent of natural gas but not of
commercial quantity. Trenton rock was
(hen passed through and then a sixty-foot
section of oil-bearing shale. This shale will
yield twenty-five barrels of oil to the ton,
according to the operators. Following the
thalo came the oil-bearing sandstone. A de
posit qf exokerite, a crude form of para
line, was beneath a layer of trap rock.
When the suggestion was made that the
all wu seepage from the Pennsylvania
fields. Doctor Von Jlugen, who made the la-vtiUj-atlouif,
expressed doubt Ha contended

British Embassy said today Olllclals
thero pointed out that tho United States
had not naked for Tnrnou ski's safo con

not a direct refusal to heed this Govern
ment's wishes.
It was pointed ou that England permit
ted paBsngo of Ocrman Ambassador von
Bernstorff, who was In Germany at tho out
break of the wur. The Impression was
given that tho British Foreign OHco whhes
tho State Department to make n formal re
quest for Count Tarnowskl's safo conduct.
Such action would, In the opinion of the
British Government, moro suroly obligate
the United States to guarantee tho "good
behavior" of the new Ambassador
1 This Is In l.no with tho Foreign Olllce
explanation of Its position In tho matter.
Tho British Government, It Is understood,
has not been satisfied with the efforts of
tho United States to "maintain Its neu

of Central Power diplomats.
It Is understood England's earnestness to
Impress this upon tho United States Is at

"With speculators holding a gun to the

snld Qultin, telling why ho thought tho
United States Bhould establish Government
control of food prices.
"The storing of eggs, butter, meat, poultry
and Ilka food to boost prices Is only less
criminal than the destruction ot food to
keep the market up, such as I have seen In
San Francisco.
"I don't want to appear nosey about the
affairs of a country whose guest I am, but
when I see high prices In tho United .States
whero there Is no regulation and compnra
It with the rensonnulo prlces'nnd legltltnnto

South Wales, -where food prices aro con

temptation to say:
" 'Go thou nnd do likewise.'
"Hvcry Monday morning tho pre ailing
prices for staples aro announced by the
Government If tho announced price Is
thirty-six cents for butter tho housewife
knows sho will pay thirty-six cents and no
moro without nmplo warning. In tho
United Stntcs tho housewife rends n ciuota

"Thanks to our control ByBtcin, house

"Your American egg barons would like to
hit mo with some of their storngo eggs for
saying It, no doubt, but tho reason eggs nro
not 25 cents here Is that tho bpecul.itors nru
holding a pistol to the consumer's head
"At home wo provide a reasonable profit
for the producer, ono for tho wholesaler
and ono for the retailer and yet sell many
articles of food at half and less than half
tho prlco you pay here.
"The Bolutlon of your storngo specula

tion prohibiting tho Bale of cold-storage
products altogether is the solution
"Thero la plenty of food of nil kinds In
tho United States. Tho speculators h.-ve
got dealers and consumers by tho throat.
They havo raised tho tatso Lry of 'heavy
exports on account of tho w.tr' anil then
have boosted prices on that artificial theory.
This 13 a situation that could not exist In
New South Wales.
"In Australia we believe that a Go em
inent which cannot control prices for tho
benefit of Its people Is not living up to Its
obligations as a democracy.
"Can you Imagine a two pound lo.it of
bread selling In the United States for seven
cents' I think not. Yet that Is what tho
Australian State bakeries do.
"Tuke a spool of common thrend In
Australia the housewife gets 3000 yards
for a nickel The American housewife gets
1000. This Is all tho moro remarkable
when you consider that all our cotton must
bo shipped from England or Ameilcn, as
wo grow none.
"Of course many of our dealers chafe
under tho falr-prlco system, just as thoy
would in tho United States, but that cloebii't
stop the regulation. Here, It ueenis to me,
they are permitted to cloud the Issue.
".Much might be done by tho individual
States to solve the prlco regulation problem."

DISCLAIMER BY BOARD
Tho board, how over, disclaimed nny In

"Tho board deems It its duty to caution

And as to tho moro basic nature of tho

"In .tho opinion of tho board. It Is the
