A DUBIOUS OUTLOOK.
The Local Iron Market in an Unccr
tain Condition at Present.
PREDICTIONS CANNOT BE MADE,
Although the Market Is Bather Favorable
for an Upward Turn.
AXOTIIEK MW STEEL MILL UXDER WAT
Tlie present condition of the local iron
r id steel trades is considerably corapli
. -'ted, and this fact renders the probabilities
i" the future very uncertain and the iinme
'atc outlook difficultdo conjecture with
ny reasonable degree of certainty. TVhen
I refer specially to the condition of these
"niportant industries locally, and not gener
illy, it is in the belief that a thorough
knowledge of the condition hereabouts will
preclude the possibility of any extravagant
assertions, such as mi?ht follow an attempt
ro forecast the probable condition of these
industries throughout the entire country,
'jut nevertheless an almost accurate reflex
of the condition of these trades throughout
the country can be had by closely observing
the ups aud downs of the Pittsburg barom
eter. This city is the hub around which revolves
the iron and steel trades of the Central
States, and the slightest turn exhibited in
this market finds its true reflection in nearly
all parts of the land. These markets are
now surrounded and interwoven with many
important questions, some of which are yet
-iroblcmatical, and, while a thorough
anal vsis might be attempted, the prophecies
resulting are not certain of fulfillment for
the reason that the basis of deduction might
lOssibly undergo a radical change. "What
the iron trade always bases it greatest hopes
-:pon for continued" activity and remunera
tive profits is on the demand, and this de
land must at least equal the productive
-ipacitv of the country before its most
"ei.eiicial results will follow.
Heavy Consumers of Iron.
The volume is always governed, by nu
merous and varied conditions. The rail
roads of tliis country arc looked upon as the
heaviest consumers of iron and steel prod
acts. The building trades are consumers of
enormous quantities of structural material,
.ind the wrought iron pipe industry has of
vitnt years used up nearly as much iron as
-he railroads. The general jobbing trade of
the country is also a potent factor in the
i-onsumption of iron and steel in finished
.'onus.
The condition of these trades in Europe
Mso affect home markets, for if there exists
x foreign demand at good prices no compe
"ition need be feared by domestic merchants;
!iut, if the demand in the foreign markets is
xceedinsly depressed, then we need hae
icar of European competition and heavy im
portations of these products, which "they
-in compete with us when their mar
;;vt are dull and lower and ours
jiiitc the reverse. "What the extent
'r the demand from the railroads is
-omg to be depends in a great measure
jpon the crop reports. The carrying of
frain is one ol the jirincipal sources from
which the railroads ot the country derive
i heir revenue, and the total of their revenue
:s usually measured by their carrying
opacity, i-o that it follows that enormous
rops induce them to improve and increase
their motive and carrying power, extend
branch lines, lay new tracks, strengthen
bridges, etc, all o"f which improvements re
flect most beneficially on the demand and
prices for iron.
"What the crop outlook will be for 1691 is
yet uncertain. Telegraphic reports from
the "Western country indicate enormous
returns from some States and restricted
rops from other States, and, while a more
than fair average total is expected will be
the season's result, yet it is too early to as
crt positively.
Effects or rtnllding Trades' Strike.
The prolonged strike in the building
trades everywhere" throughout the country
has undoubtedly greatly restricted the con
sumption of structural material. In some
j-ections the trouble has been amicably
ettled. while in others the case is pro
longed: and, while it is admitted and evi
denced by the present condition of that mar
ket that the production will be this year
greatly curtailed, the probable amount can
aot be guessed.
In the wrought iron pipe and general job
bing markets a fairly bright outlook is ob
served by all. The demaiid for the former
at present i' slow, and prices arc low in
sympathy with raw iron, upon which the
eosi of production is bated. In the latter the
demand depends to a considerable extent
upon the inquiries iroiu agricultural
machine makers and repairers, which
is governed bv the crop outlook. So
the volume ol the demand from this
s also doubtful. The speculative aud money
markets of the country have also an impor
tant influence on the iron and steelmarkcts.
Both of the former hinge one upon the
other, and their future is a question solved
only by time. Thus it can be seen that any
clear view of the iron and steel market hori
zon is obstructed by shifting clouds, and
their disappearance subject to the cver
clianping winds of trade. Only this we feel
safe in predicting that prices, especially for
all grades of pig iron and on some forms of
finished iron and steel, are not, liable to
undergo any further reduction, as thev are
.it present scraping the cost of production.
The entire market is in a very favorable
position for an upward turn, the present pro
duction is comparatively light, the stocks on
liar.d are extremely low" and prices down
awav down at the "bottom, and all that is
needed to insure an active, buoyant and
profitable market is the presence and
influence of the favorable symptoms.
tow that the coke strike has been finally
ettlcd the many blast furnaces throughout
he country affected bv the shortage ot fuel
have either resumed casting or intend do
ing so just as soon as a full supply of coke
is assured.
Thenumbcr of ovens throughout the re
gion in active operation, as estimated by
run Dispatch correspondent at Scottdale
yesterday, is 12,700, out of a total
cf lC,12o. The shipments last week ex
ceeded 82,000 tons, and the'amount is more
than is necessary to supply the current de
mand. The market at present is very act
ive. Shipping facilities are in excellent
-liape. The workers appear contented, and
there is not the remotest sign outwardly of
the late trouble.
Tho Condition of Mast Furnaces.
A comparison of the condition of the
Mast furnaces of the country on 3Iay 1 and
June 1, when the results were at both ex
tremes, as reported to the American Jfami-
I'Kturcr, will give some ldeaol the extent
aud rapiditv of the resumption of work
among the blast furnaces:

The radical incicisc in the production
riiiong the coke furnaces is notable. In the
l'ittsburg district there are 23 furnaces in
..last at present and three idle. The active
ones are eight at Braddock and the two
Lucy furnaces in this city, casting 2,100 I
tons daily; the three Eliza, of Lnushlins &
Co., cast 700 tons; furnaces A and B. of the
Monontriihela Company, 400 tons; Xos. 1
aud 2, of the Carrie Furnace Company, 500
tons: two Isabella stacks, 200 tons; one
Moorhead & Co., 175 tons; two Shocnber
gcr & Co., 350 tons; one Clinton, 100 tons,
making a total weekly output estimated at
30,000 tons. The inactive stacks are the
Edith, in Allegheny, which has been bought
by the Olivers and is being remodeled; one
Isabella, which is to be torn down and re
built, and one Edgar Thomson, which will
soon be ready for business. The estimated
weekly capacity of the inactive stacks is
3,500 tons.
The delegates for the sixteenth annual
convention of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron and Steel "Workers, who con
vened in this city on the 2d inst., are stiU
struggling over "many minor parts of the
forthcoming scale, aiid will probably not
finish their work until the latter part of
next week. The most important question,
at least from a general point of view, to de
cide, was amicably arranged during this
week. It was the nxine unon a. nrice for
boiling to ensue during the coming year.
Considerable discussion was indulged ih be
tween many of the delegates, some of whom
advocated an advance to 50 per ton on the
grounds that au advance in the tariff duties
should bring corresponding advance in
wages. After some length last year's price
of 5 50 was adopted, and there is no doubt
but that this rate will be very acceptable to
mill owners.
This was the most important question to
be decided and its amicable settlement
brings with it a sigh of rclieC The remain
ing work of the convention is only of minor
importance to the general public It will be
devoted to arrangement of the remainder of
the scale and no pronounced changes from
tnis year s scale are anticipated.
No Great Local Activity.
The condition of activity among the many
local mills is" not marked. Orders continue
rather scarce. Some few mills are idle and
but very few are working to their fullest
capacity. The Elba mill is still undergoing
extensive repairs and may possibly not re
sume until the advent of 'fall. At the Mill
vale mill nothing definite can be learned as
to how soon the works will re
sume. The plant has been
idle since February last, and
reports are current of negotiations pending
for its sale. The Clinton mill, Lindsay &
JlcCutcheon's, Brown & Co. 's and Zujj &
Co. 's are all reported to be not running
very full for various reasons. All depart
ments ol the Dnqucsne Forge Company at
Ilankin, near this city, have been closed
down. At the Homestead mill the open
hearth department is reported doing very
well with the exception of Xo. 3 furnace;
Ho. 1 is working Steady, with the eight
furnaces averaging 22 tons to a furnace; Iso.
2 has recently started up with four furnaces
after a two months' shutdown. During the
last 30 day3 the following stacks in the city
resumed casting: Clinton; Edgar Thomson
2; Eliza; Isabella; Lucy 2; MonongahelaB
and Shocnbergcr 2.
At the National Eolling Mill at McKees
port there are at present 26 knobbling fires,
aud the average work of the knobblers for
the last ten months has been four turns per
week; per turn of scrap blooms, 4,000
pounds; best metal per turn 3,000 pounds.
The Braddock Wire MillsatBankinresumcd
work this week after two weeks' shutdown
ou account of natural gas shortage.
It is very likely that coal will now be sub
stituted. At Carnegie's lower mill the pud
dlers on the May turn arc somewhat disap
pointed at the way the luel supply is treat
ing them. The 75 axle-makers at this mill
who recently struck have gone back to work
on an agreement whereby thev are paid 5
cents extra for such axles, and they are to
make two less per day.
The foundation for a new boiler house for
furnaces H and I, of the Edgar Thomson
plant, has just been finished. It will con
tain a battery of 16 boilers, making a total
of 154 that v'ill be in use at this plant. The
Canonsburg Iron and Steel "Works have
decided to erect another sheet mill south
of the present plant, which will .give em
ployment to 100 additional workmen.
New Mills Going Ur.
The National Tube "Works at McKeesport
nre pushing the construction of their new
Ko. 5 mill, which, when completed, will
have a puddling department of 40 furnaces
and a finishing department of 12 furnaces
and four trains of rolls, Singer, Nimick &
Co. are laying the foundation for the ma
chinery, a new and very exten
sive cold rolled steel plant, which
they intend erecting adjoining their
present works in the West End.
The plant will be of the most modern de
sign, and when completed will add consid
erably to the firm's output and employ a
great" number of additional men. This
firm is also constructing extensive railroad
trestle work from the Panhandle Kailroad
into their mill, to be used for conveying
cars containing coal. The use of this fuel
is as a substitute for the played-out -gas sup
ply. In the Eagle Boiling Mill at Saw
Mill Run, operated by the Olivers, two
puddling furnaces have been remodeled
Iroin the old double style, making 21 single
furnaces in all at this plant. At the com
pany's mill in Lower Allegheny, the pud
dliug furnaces have been increased from 42
to 50.
At the Republic Iron "Works the return
to the use of coal in the puddling furnaces has
made it necessary to teardownallthedouble
pnddle puddling furnaces, as they cannot be
epcrated with coaL There are 12 such fur
naces at this plant, and when rebuilt the
furnaces will have to be reset to allow more
room for the coal box, eta The "Wetheway
Manufacturing Company has set np in its
shops a large open-side planer 48x48 and
16 lcet. The firm has also added to their
equipment a grinding machine, which will
be run at 1,200 revolutions per minute. Thrs
machine is for grinding rolls, and will
swing a roll up to 18 in diameter and 40
long, and was bought especially to work
on Government rolls
Among the recently chartered organiza
tions is noticed that of the Baily Farrel
Company for 300,000; R. D. Xuttall & Co.
125,000; .to manufacture machinery with a
requisition for one from the Spang Iron and
Steel Company. The Pittsburg Malleable
Iron Company are having turned out for
them by William Tod & Co., of Youngs
tow u, a large molding machine. The Pitts
burg Bridge Company has been awarded the
contract for the construction of the iron
bridge over the Shenandoah river by the
"West Shenandoah Land Company. The
company has also booked several small
bridges for construction over streams in
Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The Pittsburg office of the Babcock &
Wilcox Company"reportthe following sales
of their boilers during last month: To the
North American Construction Company,
104 horse power; J. B. Eord&Co., 960 horse
power; Edith Furnaces, 250 horse power;
Thomas Furnace, Niles, O., 250 horse power;
Allegheny Gas Light Company, 250 horse
powsr, and Oliver & Roberts Wire Compa
ny, 500 horse power. The Westinghouse
Machine Company is reported as having re
ceived au order, from the Spreckles Refinery
for 62 of their engines for shipment to
l'miaaerpiua.
The A. Garrison Foundry Company is at
present engaged in the making of two
trains of plate rolls, one" for the Illinois
Steel Company aud the other for the Will
man Iron and'Stecl Compauy, of Thurlow,
Pa. The former consists of two sets of
three high, oue set being 35 inches in diam
eter anil 132 inches long, with a middle roll
20x132 inches; the other is 34x90 inches,
with an 18x90 inch intermediate; the sec

inches; also, three high with a 20-inch inter
mediate. The Garrison foundry is also
building three complete tinplate mills for
Sommers Bros., of Brooklyn, N. Y., and a
full set of tin rolls for the St Louis Stamp

THE
NOT A BACK HUMBER.
The Only Pensioner of the War of
1812 in Allegheny Now
APPROACHING THE CENTURY MARK
But She Is Hale and Hearty, and Bids Fair
to live for SQme Time.
A SKETCH OP MRS. MART FULLER'S LIFE
Mrs. Mary J. Fuller, of McKee's Rocks,
or rather of the borough of Esplen, just
east of the mouth of Chartiers creek, was
born before steam navigation and before
almost every discovery that has turned the
world upside downVnd destroyed romance
and sentiment, and she looks as though she
would successfully and happily round out
this century. Mrs. Fuller was born on
October 10, 1792, when the French Revolu
tion was"making dynasties rattle about all
over Europe, and before Napoleon reformed
its geography. She was born in Staunton,
Augusta county, Va.,' and is not yet a back
number, although she draws a pension for
services rendered the United States by her
husband, Jeremiah Fuller, who served in a
Virginia regiment in the War of 1812, when
Mother England tried to spank Uncle Sam
for refusing to allow parental control of our
merchant marine.
Born During "Washlnjrton's Presidency.
Mrs. Fuller attracted the attention of
'Squire Miles Bryan some time ago, when
she came to his ofiice and asked to have him
put a pension paper in shape so that she
could draw her quarterly allowance of 36
from the Tension Agency, and he could
scarce believe that a woman apparently CO
years of age and fully as spry as the ordi
nary woman of that age, submitted docu
ments that proved incoutestiblv that she
was born during George Washington's .first
term as President, and will be 99 years of
age next October should she live so long,
and the chances are that she will last much
longer, owing to the fact that she is not
only still in good health, but is assured of
a comfortable maintenance, and does not
borrow anv trouble from the future.
Mrs. Fuller came from Tyrone to this city
a short time since to reside with her grand
daughter, Mrs. Mudge, -whose husband is in
the employ of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Railway Company, and at present it seems
likely she will spend the remainder of her
pilgrimage here, as she is happy and her
descendants to the fourth generation are
enthusiastic in their attachment for her.
She spent the greater part of her life in Old
Virginia, but resided for a generation in
Maryland. Her husband, Jeremiah Fuller,
died since tho War of the Rebellion, but
Mrs. Mudge's recollection of him is shadowy,
she being an infant at the time of his death. '
He lived to a good old age, being between
70 and 80 at the time of his demise.
Never Sick but Once.
Mrs. Fuller was never sick but once in
her life, and that was caused by an accident
last winter, when she fell down a pair of
stairs ana hurt ner arm. sue nas since
wholly recovered, and the family of her
granddaughter find it necessary to peace in
the household to allow the venerable lady to
do her share of the housework. She does
the sweeping and dusting, and on wash days
does the cooking for the family. She is as
straight as a girl, but is too dignified and re
served to allow of a satisfactory interview,
as she pays her way and is inclined
to resent curiosity on the part of
strangers. She has always refused to .sit
either for an oil portrait or a photograph,
aud it seems the only way to get her pro
file will be for some one to spring a
kodak on her. Mrs. Fuller is of German
descent, but so far remove'd that she presents
the appearance of a typical American. She
attributes her long life and good health to
regular habits and the fact that she has
never quarreled with fate. In her youth
and early womanhood her family were
in good circumstances, and all their hard
work was done by slaves, which'caused the
day of gray heirs and wrinkle3 to be post
poned; cankering care having no foothold,
and though reduced in circumstances by the
issue of the Civil War, Mrs. Fuller has al
ways been in independent circumstances,
and says that if she did not have her pension
she could still take care of herself.
A Woman of Strong Affections.
Though firm and inclined to hauteur in
her intercourse with strangers, she is a
woman of strong affection, and kindly, as
evidenced by the attachment felt for her by
one of her ex-servants, Mary Clator, an
elderly colored woman who drifted to Pitts
burg after the war. Last winter when
Mary Clator heard that her old mistress was
sick she hunted her up. At the time of
Mrs. Fuller's fall mention of it was made in
the papers and Mary heard it discussed.
She at once gathered up all her effects and
moved down to Esplen to take care of
"Missus." After Mrs. Fuller had re
covered, Mary said the place suited
her and she intended to remain.
There was- an outhouse in the
back yard which Mary said would
just suit her, and getting consent of the
Mudge family, she hung up her things,
pitched her bed and erected a stove. Mary
is by profession a nurse, and is, conse
quently, away much of the time, but when
unemployed is near her old-time mistress,
and their relations" are cordial, but regu
lated bv the code that ruled the races in
ante-bellum days. Though Mary cannot
follow Mrs. Fuller back in the corridors of
memory for more than 60 years, yet there
was much they enjoyed in common in "Ole
Virginny" betwecnl830 and 1860.
Decided to Let the Past Rest.
Mrs. Fuller's memories would be vastly
ertertaining, running back within 20 years
of colonial days, could she be induced to
talk freely; but only to intimate
acquaintances is she unreserved, and
she is not inclined to boast of having seen
Washington, nor indeed of any part of her
connection with the period beyond the
deluge of modern opinion and idea that de
stroyed that splendid oligarchy of the
F. F. Vs. She seems to have decided to let
the-dead past go and live in the ever-living
present and even to her grand-daughter,
Mrs. Mudge, she is not especially communi
cative regarding the past.
In this connection it is of melancholy
interest to learn that but ten original pen
sioners, or participators in the War of 1812,
are still carried on the rolls of the pension
agency of this district and as five of these
have not put in their applications for
their money at either of the last
two quarterly periods, it is supposed
they have gone over Jordan. Pension
Agent H. H. Bengough states that they
will know at the office ere long the fate of
those who have not drawn their money, but
it is almost certain that in this case mortal
ity has put on immortality. Thus in the
vast territory covered by the Pittsburg Pen
sion Agency there are probably but five
survivors of' the War of 1812 and but 260
others who profit from relationship to the
soldiers of that era, and this district in
cludes all of the State west of the Susque
hanna river, Tioga county being in this
bailiwick. The men of 1812 are now almost
as scarce as revolutionary relics were at the
date of our Centennial.

PITTSBURG, DISPATCH,
AN rMPOETANT INSURANCE CASE.
The Travelers' Sued toBeoover aPoUcy on
a Hotel Dejtfb.
Chicago, June 12. A law suit which is
of interest to life insurance companies was
put on trial before Judge Blodgett this
morning. The suit is that of Carrie M.
Richardson against the Travelers' Insurance
Company, of 'Hnrtford,Conn., to recover on
an insurance policy taken out by her de
ceased husband. The policy provided for
payment in case of death from "violcntrand
accidental means." On the back of the
policy is a provision that the policy does
not cover death from taking poison or in
haling gas.
Richardson was found dead in a hotel and
the open eas jet indicated the manner of
death. The company declined to pay,
claiming that the section on the back of the
policy released it from liability. The
widow sned the company, and when the case
came to be heard to-day the company en
tered into a stipulation that the case be
taken to the Supreme Court. The attorney
for the company said that the case was the
first of its kind to go to the Supreme Court
which would decide once for all whethor
life insurance companies are liable for
"hotel deaths," as they are called.

NO SITE YET SELECTED
For the Jfew Postofflce Building; Over on
the Nortliside.
Rumors had it last night that the site of
the new Allegheny postoffice had been se
lected by the officials at Washington. Post
masier Gilleland, on being asked concern
ing the report, doubted its truth. He said
that not until Government Agent Adolph
Cluss, who was here a few days ago looking
at the possible location, arrived at the Capi
tal would the site be. known.
The rumor could have no possible founda
tion, he thinks, as Mr. Cluss is to inform
him of his arrival at Washington. He him
self has no idea where the future office will
stand, and furthermore, he says he does not
care to know, as the best interests 5f Alle
ghenians will be looked after by the Gov
ernment. Three Jlomos Are "Wanted.
The Chifdren's Aid Society of Allegheny

fendants from dumping in the Allegheny

Judge Iteed's Disposition ot an Odd Nan
tlcoke Case.
As stated in yesterday's Dispatch, H.
Graham, a constable of Nanticoke, Lu
zerne county, Thursday night brought Will
iam Armson to the city and lodged him in
jail for court in default of 51,000 bail on the
charge of impersonating an internal reve
nue officer. Yesterday Deputy Marshal
Baring, of Scranton, came to the city and
went before Judge Reed. He asked for an
order to take Armson back to Scranton and
allow, him to enter bail.
When Baring and Graham met they had
quite a dispute and many uncomplimentary
terms were used. Baring said the charge
against Armson was trumped up, while
Graham said that Baring only wanted to get
Armson out of a hole. Upon hearing the
case Judge Reed granted the order to take
Armson back to Scranton.

said it had been represented to him that the
company had earned 522,000 up to July 1,
1890j that it owned a-valuable gas well, and
the capital, 575,000, was all paid in.
He said he had been shown books to prove
the large amounts of goods sold, while in
fact they had only been con'signed to be
sold on commission. Charles H. West was
arrested and committed to jail in default of
bail for a hearing June 17, and a warrant
was issued for George R. West.

A NTTJOEE OF WELLS WHICH ABE NOW
ON TOP OF THE SAND.
Griffith's Venture at Mars SOU Showing Good
The Hugglns Well at Thomas Station
Said to Be Flowing West Virginia and
Greene County News.
There was nothing in the Allegheny
county pools yesterday to excite more than
a passing interest. Tke two wells at Wild
wood, one on the Hardy in the northeast,
and the other on the Peebles in the south
west, did not tap the pay. There are also
two wells at McCnrdy which should get the
pay to-day. The well of J. W.
E. Griffith, on the Parks farm,
near Mars station, was a subject
for discussion, and many inquiries
were made regarding it. The well started
to flow Friday of last week, and until last
evening had been shut in about 48 hours.
During the week one tank had been filled
and another nearly so. It is looked upon
as a good 50-barrel well.
Tlie McCnrdy Pool.
McCtntDY Guffey & Murphy's No. 2 on
the Kerr farm is in the fourth sand. It will
"get the pay the middle of next week. It
flows every ten minutes from the 30-foot
sand. The Fisher Oil Company s No. 2 on
the W. E. Liddle is drilling again. It was
delayed by a crooked hole and a fishing job.
It is due early next week. The Orion Oil
Company's well on the Bell farm is still
making 30 barrels an hour. The tools in
the well on the Andrews farm fell from
the top of the hole, and the
jars were broken. The owners are inclined
to bclievethat the well may have to be
plugged. Mellon's No. 4, on the Palmer
farm, was drilling in the sand last night.
The tools in the well, on the Minke farm,
cannot be gotten out, and the contractor has
decided to drill past them. Gailey Bros. &
Smith are down 250 feet in their well, on
the McCormick farm, in the northeast.

on the Jane Riddle. The Bear Creek 'Re

Black & Folger have a rig completed on the
Foy farm, north of the BubD. Bowman
and the Augusta Oil Company's No. 4, on

been making so much salt water lately that
the owners decided to pull the casing and
shut off the water before going into ,the
sand. They commenced to pull the casing
yesterday.
Fishing at Mars."
Maes "Station Bolard & Cnmmings'
well on the John Kennedy farm is holding
up to nearly 90 barrels a day. Barney

the Hundred-foot. His No. 3, on the same
farm, is down 300 feet.
On Top of the Sand.
Ckanbeeet Patterson & Co.'s well on
the Graham farm has been shut down on top

Thomas Station An oil man from
Washington county was in Pittsburg last
evening, and stated that he was in the der
rick of the Philadelphia Gas Company's
well, on the Butler Huggins farm, when it
made a flow yesterday. The owners are
leasing all of the territory in sight, and
yesterday paid 51,000 bonus for a farm just
west of the Huggins tarm. There have
been no wells drilled to the south and west
of this hole, and there are plenty of opera
tors who believe that a paying pool will be
opened up in that locality. It is being
drilled through the sand.
A Small Trodncer.
Cliff Mines The Jeffreys Oil Com
pany's well, on the -Elliott farm, is through
the sand and is good for only ten barrels a

be started the first of next week. A200

the capacity will be between 600 and 700
barrels per day.
rSOM FAB WESTEEN FIELDS.
Continued Petrolenm Activity Both
In
Colorado and "Wyoming.
tSriClil. TZLXOBAX id THE DISPATCH.
Omaha, June 12. Advices received here
from the New Florence, Col., oil field state
that everything is moving along smoothly
with a large increase of new wells over last
month and the same period last
year. In the . past two weeks some
six or seven new wells have been
drilled in, their production ranging from
75 to 200 barrels per day. The new refinery,
which is a local institution, is now com
pleted and running full capacity. The prod
uct obtained "here lines up pretty well with
the light amber of the Pennsylvania field.
Several other grades, however, are found.
The situation at present indicates a busy
summer and a thorough test of the field,
with chances of opening additional territory.
,A number of wells are now being put
down in the Wyoming field. The old wells
have been cleaned out, -vTiich has added
considerably to their production. Scarcely
a day passes but two or three operators from
the Eastern fields pass through this place en
route to either the foregoing fields.
They all have great confidence fn the out
come, and are putting in tneir money very
liberally. By the latter part of next week,
barrine: accidents, a number of welbj should
reach the desired poin'.
