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.

the American public to this first and,ever since.its invention,
the best of all cocoas,it will soon be appreciated here as well
as elsewhere all over the world. All that the manufactur

Houten's Cocoa itself will convince every one of its great
superiority. It is because of this superiority that the

-TUESDAY. DECEMBER
.CHRISTMAS WEEK.
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. I can hardly express the gratitude I
feel toward these eminent specialists for tne
work they have performed. I most sincerely
recommend them to all afflicted."
