flaw over the circle of the equator, no
rolls between its snores the im
petuous floods which, if we believe tra-
, caused it formerly to be compared
to a sea. At the period, long since van
ished, whentue Jimpire of Brazil, the Ar
gentine Eepublicand Colombia flourished in
South America; when North America was
divided into confederated States; when
France,Enpland,Geriiirtny,aiid Russia strug
gled for supremacy in European politics, the
Atlantic Ocean eiteuded, as we see it ou the
maps, from the ruins of iiew York to those
of Havre, and from X'ernambuco to Dakar
ruins which are now forever buried beneith
the ice. The great continent of the West
Indies was, it appears, cut up into innumer
able small inlands, scattered over an im
mense sea. The oceans were far vaster and
deeper than to-day, the rains frequent, the
rivers inexhaustible, ice and snow never
showed themselves in our country, and tbe
rays ot a beneficent sun fertilized the earth
in its youth, giving birth to flowers and
fruits nests and love.
"But now all is over with the planet and
all the works which have illustrated its
history. Thetarth revolves more slowly on
its axis, the days have become longer, the
moon is more distant and the sun has be
come colder. The prediction of the astron
omers is fulfilled. The waters of the oceans
which the solar beat caused to evaporate in
the atraosphefe, aud which gave birth to
the clouds, the rains, the springs, the
brooks and the rivers, have from century to
century been partially absorbed by the deep
locks; the air has become drier and drier,
and ceased to be a protecting cover for the
preservation of the heat received; the noc
turnal and even diurnal evaporation has
caused all the neat borrowed from the sun
to radiate into space, and the cold of the
poles comes gradually nearer and nearer the
tropical and equatorial zones.
"The summits of the mountains had
already been long froze u because above
them tbe atmosphere was too dry and too
rarefied to preserve the heat; but life estab
lished itself in the plains and valleys along
the streams which traversed the surface of
the globe. The limits of vegetation, and,
at the same time, the conditions favorable
to life, insensibly descended. Tbe last zone
of terrestrial life has been the zone of the
equatorial plains along the thermic
equator, which traverses on one side South
America, where we are. and on the other,
Central Africa, whence you came.
"When Europe had disappeared beneath
the invading glaciers comiug from the
North Pole, from Siberia, from Lapland,
Irom the Alps, from the Caucasus, from the
Pyrenees, being finally reduced to the
shores of tbe Mediterranean, many centu
ries had already elapsed since civilization
had abandoned it to shine in America,
along which continent it gradually de
scended. In consequence of a strange social
organization all the States of Europe bad
perished iu their own blood; had mutually
opened each other's veins. Some Govern
ments had convinced millions of citizens
that the greatest happiness, the supreme
honor and the highest glory consisted in
wearing uniforms ot all colors and killing
each other to the sound of music They be
lieved that until the day when the Chinese
iuvasion came and confiscated them like a
band of schoolboy.
"The annals of modern times report that
anciently expeditions had been sent through
the ire to fiud the rums of Paris, of London,
of Berlin, of Vienna, of St. Petersburg, aud
that they had principally fcund lorts, bar
racks, arsenals, arms and ammunition ou
nearly all the territories. It was doubtless
a primitive race hardly differing from the
auimal racer.
"This opinion is. moreover, confirmed by
the books of ancient history preserved in
tbe libraues, showiuga state of rude barbar
ism in the customs of these populations.
"We find, among other things, a long list of
curious tortures. Crimiuals were murdered
with the sword, with poison, or with a re
markable choice of varied weapons. Then
tl'cy cut up the bodies into small pieces. So
ciety in turn killed the criminals in various
ways. Here their beads were cut off by
means of axes, swords and guillotines; there
they were strangled or hanged; further on
they were impaled or drowned. On certain
days of revolution in the midst of the
capitals of this pretended civilization the
victors were seen to place the vanquished
quietly along the walls and ttlioot them
no Mil by the hundreds. Historians state
that nt a period uot lar removed tbe raost
civilized cations kept executioners who
were exercised iu crushing the limbs, quar
tering, taking off tbe skin, burning with
red-hot irons, pulling out tbe eyes and the
tongue, breaking the limbs and torturing In
every manner the victims, whom they gen
erally ended by burniug in the public
tquafes on holidays. The commentators are
right in'saying that these ancestors of our
species did uot yet deserve the title of men.
"If the end of the world had taken place
at this period the destruction of the race
would not have becu a great lots. But this
ancient race made way tor ours, aud we too
must perish. We perish of cold. Sterile
nature no longer produces anything. For
many centuries past there lias been 110 more
wheat or vines, for many centuries there
have been no more pastures or flocks. We
are now reduced to the last fish. But,"
sdiled the old man, "the table will still out
live the guests, for there are no new-born
babes among us; there are actually only men
here, those that you see, the last child of the
other sex, my poor little Speranza, not hav
ing survived her birth."
This declaration produced on all tbe mem
bers of tbe expedition the effect ot an electric
thock. The fall of a thunderbolt in the
midst of the assembly would not have
brought about a greater confusion.
"Whatl" cried the chief of the flotilla.
"There is no longer a single woman among
you?"
"Not a single one," answered one of the
guests.
"We had just come," added the young
chief, "in search of female companions with
whom we could associate. Our country is
' still wealthy, and bad we found but one
single wife all the riches of our country
would have been hers."
"You have also no women?"
The travelers exchanged a glance and re-
maiaed silent.
III.
Some time before these events happened
in Africa and in America, the Island of
Ceylon, now attached to the sonthern point
of Asia through the diminution of the seas,
found itself to be the last refuge of the
human race iu Asia, and there in this
former earthly paradise not far from the'
equator, at the foot of Adam s Peac, 12
women remained the sole heiresses of tbe
last unextinguished families.
The male sex had completely disappeared.
For a long time the number of girls bad
been far above that of boys a condition ot
tkiugs which corresponded, besides, with
the successes obtained by women and their
increasing authority in politics and in tbe
universal direction ol business. They had
gradually substituted luenuelves for the
efleniluatc and enervated men as deputies,
lawyers, physicians aud, iu general, iu the
greater number of social professions, in
commerce and industry, arts and literature,
pure and applied sciences. The education
of the boys had been more and more neg
lected, and finally there were do longer even
competent gardeners or agriculturists to be
found among the men. What the women
did uotdo directly with their own hands in
the way of industries was accomplished by
ingeniously constructed and indefatigable
machines. Tbe slow decrease of the or
ganic forces ot the globe bad also maci
tested itself here by a slow diminution 01
tbe births by a weakening ol the aver
age lite, and it was only in rare circum
stances and by a sort of heredity that fam
ilies counted, as in former tlms, a large
number of children. Ai iu our day, in
ome countries more cirls than boys were
' bora on the aterace, Toll tendency In- J
.jitJL zzi'J g"-'"' --'-
creased from generation to generation, and
towiird tbe end of the days that remained,
for Asia as for other parts of the globe,
there were at the period of which we speak
only three living families, and by an un
fortunate chance, the two boys having died
in infancy, 12 beings of the feminine sex
were lett alone to represent the. present aud
tbe iuture.
The youngest, little Eva, was a clyld of 3
years of age; ber mother had reached 40.
The last survivor ot the fathers bad died
of aneurism of the heart on the day of his
wedding.
The interest which attaches itself to
things and which seems to be the cause of
life had diminished with the decrease of
population and, with the more and more im
minent threat of a defiuite end. Formerly
immense and populous, the city had disap
peared beneath a poor but .invading vegeta
tion; all those ancient dwellings were
empty, deserted, ruined, partly hidden be
neath tbe moss and weeds, and the traces of
tbe ancient boulevards and principal streets
were hardly visible to tbe eye. As human
ity had retired, so nature had resumed her
rights; polar plants, larches, pines, some
snow birds and more recently penguins and
bears had arrived near the ancient city.
The last building which remained standing
was tbe public library, in which the purely
literary works had nearly all been aban-"
doned to the insects and in which were to
be found only tbe scientific treatises written
on the supreme question of the end of 'the
world and the historical annals of the de
parted centuries, humanity'not having con
sented to its own extinction and having
clung to all that personified it. But the
fatal day had come Tbe world must end.
The decline of human forces had brought
about the decline of the inventions and
usages which seemed but lately tbe most in
dispensable. They had weariedof all, even
of hope. Tbe electric motor had fallen into
disuse. There was no more traveling after
the invasion of the ice. No attempt had
even been made to repair the Interrupted
telegraphic communication:. Only a lew
centuries before all the inhabitants of the
globe, in whatever portion they niayhave
dwelt, had constant intercourse with each
other, as though they had inhabited the
same country, conversing and hearing each
other, whatever may have been the distance
that separated tbein, and there was but one
nation and one single language lor all the
globe. But now isolation and separation
hud returned as in the primitive ages; the
three groups remaining iu the world no
longer knew each other; and the population
of Ceylon, although composed only of
women, had lost all spirit of domination, all
sentiment of curiosity, all eneigy anil all
vitality. Henceforth, deprived of all de
sire of pleasing, ol all idea of rivalry and of
all coquetry, they lormed among themselves
but one laruily "of sisters, associated in a
common misfortune, and they had all
adopted a somber mourning costume, a sort
ol black and misshapen religious garment.
But this little population itself had rap
idly diminished. Fifteen years had sufficed
to reduce it by more than half. At the mo
ment when tne events narrated above took
place there remained but the youngest of
the Ceylonese, then 18 years of age, with
four el her companions.
IY.
We left our aerial expedition iu the
midst of the stupefaction caused by the
avowal of the Americans. No more women
in America. The same situation, or almost
the same, in Africa. Europe buried be
neath the snows, Asia forgotten for more
than a century, and doubtless sharing the
same fat: as Europe. There was nothing
lett for the travelers but to return to their
own country, and that was decided on the
very next day.
They visited tbe ruins of the American
metropolis, the glories of which had been
celebrated by the historians and which now
lay forgotten. For one instant they thought
of uniting in one group the two wrecks of
male humanity and of all leaving together
lor Suntown, but on the one hand these men
wished only to sleep forever in the tombs of
their ancestors, and on the other hand the
travelers, who had carefully concealed the
existence of women in their own country,
did not insist ou this brotherly project.
Thev resumed tbeir way through the air,
deciding, lion ever, as they had come by the
east, to follow the same direction along the
equator ou tbeir return, in order lo see
whether, by some unforeseen circumstance,
they might not discover some other last
living tribe.
Thus it was that after having crossed tbe
immense Pacific Ocean, and having stopped
over all the points that emerged above its
surface, even nt the moment when they had
noticed that the eternal winter announced
by scientists exteuded over the lands of
Slam, of Java, of Sumatra and of Malacca,
entirely deserted, they noticed la Ceylon a
region less invaded than the others by the
ice and snow, aud stationing themselves for
some time above a ruined city they dis
covered a small group of women in mourn
ing. Iu one instant, and before they had had
time to recover from their surprise, tbe
celestial travelers were at their feet. At
other periods, when the right of might gov
erned humanity, these last five daughters of
Eve would have beeu rudely seized and car
ried away at full speed through the air to
ward tbe Atrlcan city, perhups not without
a struggle, for tbe number of the men was
superior to that of the women. But for a
long time they had ceased to exert their
strength; sentiment, reason, intelligence,
freedom of choice, always decided.
Tney told the object of their explorations,
and had no difficulty in convincing the fair
Asiatics. Their despair, which had seemed
eternal, disappeared ilkea mist; their brows
were cleared, their lips smiled, and a lew
hours after the arrival of the aeronauts the
five nunsln mourning had giveu way to tbe
'most elegant ot women.
They even discussed the advantages of a
return to Suntown, and it seemed that from
(the point of view of peace, happiness and
tranquility, it would be preferable to remain
iu Ceylon. But the old provision stores
were well nigh exhausted, the fields aud
gardens were wanting, the ice was near;
while in Africa the fatal moment seemed
perhaps many years off. From the first in
terview, Omegar and Eva had experienced
tbe effects of mutual attraction, and bad un
derstood each other as though they bad met
again after a long separation. Omegar bad
a deep affection for his mqtber, and would
be proud to present his companion to her.
A fortnight alter their arrival, the explorers,
rich in their discovery, embarked on their
aerial flotilla and set sail for Suntown. The
resurrection of humanity was assured. What
a triumph and what rejoicing on their re
turn! "
But what was their disappointment, on ar
riving above the antique city, to see none of
their fellow citizens come lorward lo receive
them; to find the public square, where tbey
were in the habit ot meeting, silent and de
serted; to have before their eyes naught save
a sort of desolate cemetery. Descending
from their aerial boats they first rushed'with
tbeir companions to the Government palace.
A tright.ul spectacle oflered itseli to their
gaze. Their relatives, their friends, lay
around, dead or dying. The population of
the city, reduced after the departure of the
travelers to about 30 persons, had undergone
during their absence ot a lew months a snow
cyclone, which had destroyed tbe last vege
table growth and part of the habitable dwell
ings. Tbe small remnant had chosen as a
refuge the spacious and stronger rooms of
tbe palace, but au epidemic, a sort of typhus,
had attacked first the weaker constitutions
and had afterward stricken the others. The
strength of the bravest had finally given
wa and the first care of the travelers was to
assist tbeir unhappy fellow citizens.
Unfortunately the cold increased dally, a
bitter wind blew unce&singly, and tbe pale
rays of tbe sun could not even penetrate tbe
thick mists. Tbe only means of preserving
a little heat was by keeping up fires ana
cuttiug ofl almost every communication
with the outdoor air; but the bravest, the
most courageous, lost all hope. At every
new death thev counted eneb otber. From
15 they descended in a few weed to 10, then
5; nn-i at last Omegar and Era remained
alone, seeing without delusion the late
which awaited them, and well knowing tbat
no otber spring would erer bloom on'eartb.
However, after a long succession of dis
astrous dsyi the sua showed itislfia ft
THE-
cletr spot between the, clouds, the wind
ceased, the blue sky reappeared.
The young couple then rose in an aerial
boat to judge of the last invasions and the
snow, and perceived that the whole city was
buried, and tbat it was only toward the
north that the country had beeu a little
spared.
Carrying away with them all tbe provis
ions they could find, they decided to follow
the direction of the spared districts and see
if some oasis could uot be found in tbe midst
of the immense fields of ice.
V.
In consequence of the nature of the soil,
and because of the scarcity of rains, of snow
aud of clouds in that region, tbe great Afri
can desert that extends south of tbe Sahara
had remained one of the least cold zones of
the globe, and a warm current blowing from
that desert on Nubia and Arabia, to return
to the equator by Ceylon, had for a long
time left a part ofEsrypt free, from the inva
sion of ice and snow. Following the indi
cated direction the last human couple hov
ered above tbe regions formerly watered By
the Nile, henceforth frozen. They perceived
the rteat pyramid, ruined, but still stand
ing This, first monument of humanity, the
testimony to the antiquity or civilization,
was still standing. Its geometric stability
had saved it. It wa perhaps the only
human idea that had attained its end.
b Created by Cheops to eternally protect his
ruyai mummv, mis lomu unufluiTiicuiuD
revolution i which bad destroyed everything
else. The last man had come to join-the
first king and shelter himself beneath bis
shroud.
But the wind ef the tempest was blowing
again. A flue powdery snow was spreading
over tbe immense desert.
"Let us stop here and rest," said .Eva,
"since we are condemned to death; and, be
sides, wbo has not been? I wish to die in
peace in thine own arms."
They looked for a cavity among the ruins
and seated themselves, contemplating the
endless space covered with powdery snow.
The young woman crouched feverishly,
holdiug her husband in her arms, trying to
struggle with ber energy 'against the inva
sion of the cold that penetrated her. He
had. drawn her to his heart and warmed her
with his kisses. But the wind and the tem
pest had resumed tbeir sway, and the fine
snow beat in clouds around the pyramid.
"ily beloved," he resumed, "we are the
last inhabitants of the earth, the last survi
vors of so many generations. What remains
of all the glories, of all the countries, of all
the works of the human mind; of all the
sciences, ol all tbe arts, of all the inven
tions? The entire globe is at this moment
oulv a tomb covered with snow."
"Yes," she said, i'l have heard of the
beautiea who reigned oyer the hearts of
Kings and shone like admirable stars in the
history of humanity. Love, beauty, all
must end. Hove you, and I die. Oh! bow
I would have loved that dear treasure, the
one who will never live. But no, we must
not die, must we? No! Come, I
am no longer cold. Let us walk."
Her feet, already frozen and benumbed,
had become inert. She tried to rise and fell
back.
"t seem to be sleepy," she said. "Oh, let
ns sleep."
And throwing her arms around Omegar
she pressed her lips to his. The young man
lifted her beautiful form aud laid her on bis
knees. She was already asleep.
"I love yon," he said again. "Sleep, I
shall watch over vou."
Then his fixed gaz:, shining with a last
light, lost itself in a search for the unknown
in the desolate grav sky and in the silent
and endless plain. No sound came to trouble
tbe death ot nature; the snow wind alone
moaned around the pyramid and seemed to
wish to awaken the old Pharoah sleeping
in its depths for so many millions years.
Suddenly the noise of footsteps and moans
was heard, lost in the distance. Was it
some lethargic awakening in the interior of
tbe monument? Was it a heavy bird thrown
bv the tempest against the dismantled steps?
Wns it some polar bear come with tbe.sunw?
Tbe noise ceased. A joyful cry sounded,
and with one bonnd n dog, broken ,by
fatigue, jumped on the sleeping couple.
It was Oniegar's dog that had, looked for
him, followed him (how?) and found him in
spite of tbe distance, tne solitude and, the
snow.
He called bis master and mistress, licked
their ftce and bands and covered them with
his body to warm them. But tbey did 'uot
nwuke.
And the snow continued to fall In a fine
powder on to tbe entire surface of the earth.
And the earth continued to turn on its
axis night and dny cud to float through the
immensity of spaee.
And the sun continued to shine, bat with
a reddish mid barren light' But long after
ward it became entirely extinguished, and
tho dark terrestrial cemetery continued to
revolve in tbe night around the enormous
invisible black ball.
And the stars continued to scintillate in
tbe immensity of the heavens.
And the infinlte'universecontlnaed to ex
ist with its billions of suns and its billions
of living or extinct planets.
And in all the worlds peopled with the
Joys of life love continued to bloom beneath
tbe smiling glance of tbe Eternal.,

RESERVED THEIR DECISION.
Judges Acheson and Reed Hear Arguments
In the Injunction Suit of Ralney Venus
United Mine Workers' .Officials Some of
i the Defendants Residents of Ohio.
Judges Acfeson and Bced yesterday af
ternoon heard arguments on the motion of
W. J. Bainey vs. John McSlor, et al, ask
ing that a preliminary injunction be issued
against the defendants restraining them
from congregating in or about' the coke
works of the plaintiff, and to restrain them
from inciting others to do the same.
tThe defendants are John McSIoy, J. B.
Rac, John McBride, C. M: Parker, Peter
Wise, Jobu Do Haven, Frank Kerfoot and
L Mike Diserjal,- all of whom are connected
with tbe organization of United Mine
Workers of America, and many of whom
are officers of it, J. B. llae being tbe Presi
dent. , It is alleged tbat during tho strikes at the
McCluro and II. C. Frick coke works from
February IS to 27, the utmost disorder
prevailed aud communicated to the works
of the plaintiff, which are in the neighbor,
hood, and that the defendants held meetings
about, and on the property ot tbe plaintiff,
inciting the men there employed and intim
idating them to quit work. A restraining
order was issued compelling the defendants
to prevent the mee'tlngi until the motion for
tbe preliminary injunction could be argued.
The argument was taken up yesterday.
Johns MoClcave represented Mr.Rniuey and
John Garrison, the defendants. The first
mutter taken up was a motion of the defend
uts to have tbe suit dismissed on the ground
that It was nnt within the jurisdiction of tbe
court of tile Western District of Pennsyl
vania. This motion was based on the fact
that the bill asking Inr the injunction set
forth that the plaintiff was a resident ofOblo
aud that lhe defendants were all residents of
Pennsylvania residing in the West
ern District. Tbe argument being
thnf the suit should be dis
missed, as J. B. Baeand John McBride are
residents ofOhin and not under the jurisdic
tion of tbe Pennsylvania court, inasmuch
as it hears on this case.
Attorney McCleave claimed that the suit
should not be dismissed; that the defendants J
who were not residents ol tins mate coma
be dropped from tbe list. He then based his
argument for the injunctiou on affidavits
filed by W T. Bainey, Thomas Lowdeii,
Joseph Lowden, John Echard, A. J. Hill,
J. G. Hill. J. L. Hill, Scott Franks, J. O.
Willey, J. B. Henderson, George Grady,
Solomon Smith and Bobert E. Umbel.
These affidavits stated that the defendants
Incited by meetings, etc., the men to do
damage to the works of the plaintiff and
trespassed on the property of the same.
Attorney Garrison argued for the de
fendants that the bill was defective; that
the court had no jurisdiction over them as
a whole because two of the defendants were
residents of Ohio. He then produced
affidavits from the defendants and a num
ber of other men which set lorth that in
many of tbe iustances averred the defend
ants were not at meetings they were said
to have addressed, and also that they were
peaceful, law-abiding citizens, and dnied
in full the allegations against them.
The Court took tbe papers and reserved
its decision.
A HETE0E STOPS A TBAIir. '
People Along a Texas Railroad Frightened
by Its Explosion.
Victobia, Tex., May 8. A large me
teor passed over this section last evening.
It came from the uortbeast, and was teen or
heard all along the line of the railway from
Rosenberg to Giliad, a distance of abont 120
miles. About tbe time the. meteor reached
ibis vicinity it exploded with a tremendons
report. As the sky was perfectly cloudless
people imagined for a brief time'tbat it was
a boiler explosion, and then it was .attrib
uted to au earthquake.
The braltenian on a freight train near Ira,
a small station 12 miles west of bear, saw
tbe meteor burst. He says oue of the frag
ments, which appeared to be about as large
as his head, struck the earth not more than
100 yards from the railway track. Tbe con
cussion of the explosion was so great that it
momentarily stopped the progress of the
train, this fact being noted by all the train
men. The conduotor thought the engineer
had suddenly applied tbe airbrakes, and he
ran to the door to see what was the matter.

JSFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TUB UISrATCH.
OMAHA, May 8. The well In Bemis
Park is environed with deep mystery, so
that at tbe hour of closing this'report really
no reliable information is obtainable.
Counteracting reports are in cirdulation,
while guesses at tbe result of the well are as
numerous as the spring roses. One rumor
which finds considerable favor among the
"profession" is to the effect-that the mystery
is no good. This, however, has not been
authoritatively confirmed or denied, and
there the matter rests.
One gentleman who claimed to know a
"thing or two," iu speaking with me last
evening, said that be was of tbe .opinion
that tbe owners were trying to work a big
game of bluff.
The report reached here a day or two
since that a genuine geyser had been
tapped down at Pappillion. For an hour
of two excitement was at fever beat, some
thing similar to the occasion of opening
Colonel Dyer's big Smith bonauza In the
Washington fleld. Evervbody hustled or tho
Western Union Telegraph office, and in a short
time Jay Qonld's wires were working to their
full capacity. Later, reports were to the effect
that a small quantity of oil bad been encoun
tered in an artesian well probably a small
pocket and so the big "spouter" Droved to be
a water well. . Many, however, are led to be
lieve that oil in paying quantities exists in
Nebraska. Of course, this is mere guess work,
and nothing but tbe drill will ever determine
tbe truth.
The Situation in Wyoming.
Ont in Wyoming operations have commenced
to brighten. Private advices state that a cum
ber of new wells have been contracted for and
rigs are now In coarse of erection. A com
mercial club has already been organized for tbe
purpose of advertising the fleld. Everyday or
so Tmeet some "old timer" going out there.
They are all ot tbe same opinion. Tbat is, a
big field will be opened and that at no distant
day. Men are now on the ground, and if it be
an indication tbat tbey have faith In it by in
venting tbeir money, tbey have surely great
confidence. I have never met a man yet who
did not speak in glowing terms of tbe Wyom
ing basin.
One interesting feature is that It requires no
bonus nor lease to secure territory. All tbe
wells are now going down onOorernmcnt land
under tbe mining act. Bo. to a certain extent,
this will bar the Htandard, and put all outsid
ers on an equal -basis. This Held, at any rate,
will be worm noticing.
In the Colorado fleld everything is on the
move. TJie Colorado Oil Company's No. 67 was
drilled in last week, and is good for from 150 to
ZOO barrels a day. Tho same comnany has sev
eral other wells due the first of next week.
Tbo new refinery is well under way, and in a
day or so they will be refining their own grease.
A number ot old wells are bning cleaned out
and some drilled deeper, while new locations
aro being made daily.
The Kocky Mountain Oil Company is arrang
ing to sink a number of wells in advance of
presenf operations, all of which will be watched
with much interest.
In the Home Fields.
If tbe present state of affairs prevail In tbe
Pennsylvania and West Virginia fleld the re
mainder of the month, tbe redaction of tbe
outpntwill simply be surprising. Now that
Wlldwood is on the downward course, with bnt
little prospects of a revival of the boom which
gave it a national reputation, and the great 100
foot in Butler county not producing
mora man nan or. wntt it am
two or three months ago, It must
be taken for granted, unless a prolific poolfr
found in some quarter, that a material de
create in production Is lnorltable, and In tbe
natural course ot things better prices should
fircdoinlnate. While It Is true that there is a
argo amount of wlldcattlng being done In
West Virginia, It is also an admitted fact tbat
for tbe past year scarcely one of theso von
tures have materialized into paying Invest
ments, or developed territory tbat even pros
pectively looks well.
In speaking of the reduction ot tbo outpnt in
tho southwest for tbe noxt 30 or 60 days, it
should ba remembered tbe Houtli I'enn and
Forest Oil Companies possess about .all the
available territory In tbe Old Dominion, which
tbey will most likely operato in a very conserva
tive manner, and the new production will
hardly keep pace with the decline of the old
wells.
The aggregate runs of tbe entire southwest
division for tho month of April wore 091,772
barrels, which, compared with March, Is a
marked decline, and at tho same ratio ot falling
off tbo 1st of June will find these figures con
siderably less. It Is not likely tbat tbo great
hurrah at Claysvllle will develop Into anything
that will lead te a retnrn nf tbe halcyon days
tbat once characterized this pool.
1 Tho Field Situation Tu-Dny.
Thero Is nothing of sneclal moment in tbe
flclu situation to-day. In different sections
several small wells have come in, but in no in
stance are thoy subjects of raoro than a passing
notice and do not have any special bearing on
new territory.
At noon W. L. Mellon Is far enough in tbe
sand with his Parry farm well, 1,500 feet west
of Hervey Brothers' MoKaddenfnrm producer,
to Indicate tbat tbe well Is good for 40 barrels
on tbe start.
It was expected by this time tbat Black t
Co.'s wildcat well on tbeMenke farm at Mc
Curdy wonld have been deep enongh to tell the
story. Unfortunately tbe tools were lost in the
hole last nlgbr, and It now looks as If several
days will elapso beforn tbey will got to drilling
again. Tbe well Is spraying about 15 barrels a
day. In tbls same Uelil V. L. Mellon Is on toff
the sand with bis No. 3 Scott, as Is also Wilson
& Co. on tbe Cemetery lot.
At Six Points, McKee & Co. have Just com
pleted a duster on the Campbell farm. McKee
& Jennings are building a rig on the Jennings
farm at Queenstown. W. L. ilelloa's wild
cat venture In West Virginia, near Blacks
vlllo, Is through tbe sand with no oil, but It Is a
GOO-pound gasser. When asked It he contem
plated drilling more wells in this locality. Mr.
Mellon laconically remarked be was going to
get out and most emphatically stay out of that
country. H. McC.
