INDEPENDENT PLANS Now Rapidly Assuming Shape for More Decisive Action, AXOTBEE I31P0RTAM MEETING. T. W. rhillips to le One of the Leaders of the Sew Movement. EEPOKTS FI101I THE YAEIOUS FIELDS The Independent Producers met again last night, and business of the most import ant nature was transacted. The meeting was principally composed of the producers' committee, -which met the P. P. A. in Bradford on Friday. A report of their mission was handed in, upon which a gen eral discussion ensued. There were also present, beside the committee, a number of representative producers, who also took a hand in the general discussion. As matters now look the independent movement is getting down to a basis on which something of a tangible nature will soon materialize. The Dispatch reporter could not definitely ascertain whether the places of the old members of the Executive Committee of the P. P. A. who resigned on Friday have been filled, nut inferred from conversation with those interested in the meeting that the vacancies would probably be filled at the present meeting of the com mittee. The reporter was also led to believe that T. "W. Phillips would in all probability still affiliate with his old friends, the pro ducers. 3Ir. Phillips' position. as regards the Standard OH Company would not in the least pronibit him from becoming a leading light in the present independent movement. 2o one knows what will be their plan of action when thoroughly organized, but the supposition is they will devise some means to find an outlet to the seaboard. They argue that when this has been accomplished the question has been solved, and that the Stand ard no longer holds them in subjection. Last night's meeting unquestionably set in motion the whole machinery of the P. P. A. The local assemblies will in all probability soon convene, and all members who are sus pected of possessing Standard proclivities will be weeded out. All those producers who are not now members'of the assembly and are kindly disposed toward the inde pendent movement, will be asked to join the organization and help along the grand and laudable undertaking. The West Virginia Situation. For the past year "West Virginia territory to manr has been a beer upon the situation. It has been proclaimed time and time again that the Standard Oil Company, with its thousands of acres ot prolific leases could soon flood the markets of the world. This assertion has not been borne out by the demonstration of the drill, and it is ques tionable to-day whether upon the asgrecate of operations in the entire Virginia field that investments hare paid. Jit. Morris, and especially Mannington has conclusively shown that oil could not be produced at present prices. The record of the field also shows that the territory is spotted and those who have made money are but few com pared with thoe engaged in operating. Eureka, Belmont and St. Mary's have alL apparently reached the culminating point. Glycerine in those fields Jus been used liberally, yet notwithstanding this fact the production is constantly declining. Numer ous wildcat wells have beeu drilled at nearly every point of the compass with poor results; and thousands of acres of land which had hitherto been counted on as good territory has been concemned. Iu these pools within the past three weeks tea drv holes certainly confirms the above con clusion. The St. Mary's field was opened up about two months ago by the Duucnn & Co. well on the Smith farm. The well is only good for SO or 35 barrels a day, and is the onlv well producing in the held. Since this well was completed there have been eight or ten wells started in the vicinity. Two of these have passed through the same formation in which the oil was found in the above well, and neither oil nor gas was found. The-e were the Bills and Galliger wells. The latter has virtually obliterated the hope of finding oil iu many of the town lots, and has had a depressing effect upon the boom. Between Belmont and SL Mary's, h1ohs the Ohio river front, three dry holes have practically annihilated the theory of a connection between Belmont and St. Mary's. Johnson & Co.'s dry hole, three miles south of St. Mary's on the Beers farm, and known as the "torn cat well," has also condemned a considerable amount of territory. In the old Belmont field proper, matters have subsided to a sorry tight as compared with the boom of only a few days aco. The best well in the field is the old Stewart 2o. 1, which, from the most authentic report, has a production of only 80 barrels a day. The Ituttencutter district has also been overestimated, and the produc tion of the best well there may be estimated at 25 or SO barrels a day, wbile the two wells recently completed are making but ten bar rels each. The old Eureka pool is a thing of the past, and its resurrection is bevond hope. Across the river from here, Si Hughes, however, is looking for an outlet to the northwest in the direction of the old Gracie mill. In the shallow territory in the Cow rnn sand there was a small well completed re cently on the Kerr farm which is practically 210 good and was a sad disappointment to manv. Ackerlcy & Sammall, on the J. B. Green farm, are now in the sand with a well on the northeast corner of the farm, which is show in:: for the best well in the field. Smith & Allen's well. 2,000 feet north and a little west of the Brown well, is iu the sand on the Eendershot Tho well is showing some oil. Several Small Flows. "Wild-wood The Forest Oil Company mnd Griffith io. 4, Smith, to-night is mak ing from 70 to 75 barrels an hour. They also got the sand this afternoon in No. 3, Smith, which has made several small flows. The Smith Farm Oil Company No. 7 is doing from 40 to 50 barrels an hour. Very Scanty Operations. Okafxok Operations in the Crafton 'pool are very meager. The Forest Oil Company No. 2, on theJPortman form, is about 70 feet in the hundred-foot. Consid erable interest is manifested by the com pany in this well, which if dry will cause them to cease operations in this locality. The same company have a fishing job at their Xo. 3 on the Hartley farm. At their 2o. 2, Phillips farm, they succeeded in get ting the hole clear Saturday night and have resumed drilling. The same company are also drilling a ,-wlldcat well near Craig station on the Pan handle Railroad, three miles from the Mc Curdy pool. The Best Days Are Gone. Westview This field has seen its best day., although there is considerable rood oil territory around here not yet drilled. The owners of tne property will not drill at the present price of oil, and when the wells now drilling are finished there will proba bly be no new operations until the market shows an upward tendency. Smith & Kleinmond, No. 1 Ivory, has reached a depth ot 1,200 feet, and Bowman & Co. No. 2, Scheide farm, are putting in tbeir second string of casing. Munhall & Co. No. 1, Knoch farm, got considerable gas in the top of the 30-foot sand, and were delayed some in consequence, but are drilling again and Will go to the third ranfe. They left the bit in old Ivory No. lthat they lost while cleaning out alter the shot and tubed the well, and it is now making 50 barrels a day. Cold weather and a low market has caused a rapid decline in the wells, the market be ing so low that operators will not put any aaore expense on tbeir wells than is abso Uutely necessary to keep them running, pre ferring to let the oil remain under ground than to going to any additional expense. Quite a Difference. Jack's Bun Where there were 15 or 20 wells drilling in this field six mouths ago there are now but three wells drilling, and when these are finished there will probably be no more new operations in this neck of the woods this winter. The last well that came in, about a week ago, is Hein Oil Company No. 3, and is good for 25 barrels a day. Mc Cormack & Co. No. 1, Straw, cased yester day, and will get. the sand Monday or Tues day. The Augusta Oil Company No. 1, Ort, has reached a depth of 1,200 feet, and the Americus Club No. 2, McLaughlin farm, will get the sand next week. Work of tne Forest Company. Hatesville GufTey & Queen No. 4, Hay farm, are drilling at a depth of 1,300 feet. Tne Forest Oil Company, which haB bought the above firm's interest in this field, are getting engines and boilers around to the wells and are rigging up preparatory to set ting them to pumping. A Mystery No Longer. Matamoeas A special from Mata moras, O., states that the well on Matamoras Island, which has been mystified for some time, has ceased to be a mystery, having made several flows. It is said that consid erable interest is manifested regarding this well. H. MCC. SHILOII'SCougta and ConsnmptionCure Is sold br us on a Guarantee. It cares consumption. Sold by Jos.

The Time of Joyous Festival and Grateful Feeling. A MOTHER'S GRATITUDE. Since tbe beginning of tbe fit tb century, not withstanding tbere li a difficulty in accent ing the twelfth month as the date of the nativity, it Delng the height ot the rainy season in Judea where Neither flocks nor shepherds could hare been at night in the fields ot Bethlehem, the 25th day of Secern, ber has been Generally agreed upon, set aside and kept by all Christian communities in mem ory o( tho birth of tbe Savior, apparently lay ing more stress on keeping a day in memory than on success in selection of tbe actual and precise date of the event. In all civilized countries tbe annnal recurrence- of Chris. mas has been celebrated with festivities'of various kinds. In none, however, is it more joyfully welcomed than in America. In one way or another, to some in a greater and some in a less degree, it brings feelings of joy and gratefulness to us all. During aj-ecent interview with Mrs. Walker, living at No. 909 Locust street, McKeesoort, Pa., the writer listened to the following story of a mother's gratitude and baDpinessfortbe rescue of ber boy. Matter Jesse A. Walker, 909 Locust street. Me Keesport, J'a. In ber own words Mrs. Walker said: "My son Jesse is 10 Tears old; ever since be was a babe of 2 he has suffered almost constantly from an aggravated catarrhal trouble, with all its terri ble symptoms. 1 sought the help and advice of a great many doctors, nut none seemed to un derstand his case. He grew worse and worse; the disease had undermined his whole system: be became thin and weak, los ing flesh rapidly. 1 had given up all hope and almost believed he could not be saved, when I read of Drs. Coneland & Blair and decided to try once more. It was tbe hap. piest decision I ever made. My boy has been saved.
