Break in the Market Attributed to the Big Russian Gejser. PROGRESS IN THE CZAR'S DOMINIONS There vas a big increase in the estimated production of the McDonald field yesterday. It went from 24,000 on Monday to 26,500 yesterday, which is a greater jump than it has made since it fell below 30,000. Three more wells were added to the list of those making 20 barrels an hour or more. Only one of them came in yesterday. The others, the "Wood land Oil Company's No. 4 McMurray and the No. 4 Jane McGill of the Forest Oil Company were reported in The Dispatch yesterday morning. The latter well is still doing 20 barrels an hour, and the "Wood land well on the McMurray is making 35 barrels an hour. The feature of the field yesterday, and a genuine surprise to nearly everybody, was at Russell, McMullen & Ca's No. 6 on the "Wettengel farm. It is located in a corn field on the flats, just west of Oakdale, and only a few hundred leet north of the rail road. The nay streak in the fifth sand was 6truck early yesterday morning and the well started to flow 50 barrels an hour. It was some time before it was gotten under control, and several hundred barrels es caped. There is nothing between it and Brown, Bobison & Ca's well on the McMurray, east of Noblestown, and over a quarter of a mile southwest To the north and east it is shut off by two test wells. tight 'Wells North and Cast. On the north the Lenox well is light in the fifth, and east of it Gordiner, Snyder & Co. s well, on the malt house lot, was a total failure and was abandoned. It is believed to be a part of the same pool which was hit by the Kobison well. The Forest Oil Company drilled its No. 3 on the Jane McGill farm into the sand and last evening it was making about 8 barrels an hour. Learn & Burson are still fishing for a bailer in the Tanerscott well in the eastern part of "Willow Grove. It is just in the top of the Gordon, and occasionally makes a light flow. Borchert & Co. expect to break into the Gordon to-day on the McYickars lot, located 300 leet east of the postoffice well. Miller, Kennedy & Co. are also on top ot the Gordon on the Pry lot. The Oakdale Oil Company's three wells on apart of the Wallace farm at the trestle between Noblestown and "Willow Grove, are down about 1,500 feet The "Woodland Oil Company's No. 1 on the Crawford farm in advance, is down about 500 feet, and they were building a rig lcr No. 2. The same company is building a rig for No. 1 on the Scott heirs' farm. "W. P. Bend's well on the J. D. Sauters farm, a mile south of the "W. B. Moorhead farm, is almost to the Gordon. They ex pect to reach it by to-morrow. The Jolly Oil Company's well at "Willow Grove station, was in the shell above the Gordon sand yesterday afternoon. "Western "Wells Dae This "Week. Some of the wells which have been drill ing around the Fife well to the west of de velopments should be in this week. The New York Oil Comyany's No. 2, on the Fife farm, was in the Gordon sand yester day afternoon, and should get the pay by Saturday. The Pittsburg Oil Company's No. 1, on the Fife farm, is also in the "Gordon sand. The Trio Oil Company's No. 1, on the Abra ham Bell farm, is abo'ut 1,500 feet deep, and the Pittsburg Oil Company's No. 1 "Walker is down about the same distance. Patterson & Jones' No. 8 on the Kelso and No. 5 on the Shaffer farm in southwest McCurdy are expected to get the fifth sand by to-morrow afternoon. "In every oil office in Pittsburg yesterday, or wherever a few producers came together, the only topic discussed was the drop in the price ot oil to 55 cents. They are wonder ing when the bear movement will stop. Contrary to their usual disposition, they were taking the cut with a philosoph ical calmness that was surprising to anyone who has been accustomed to see them go into paroxysms of rage at any break in the market One of the ex-kickers said he had been complaining long enough without doing any good, and that now he had con cluded to grin and bear it for a while. Duo to the Bis Russian Geyser. " The reported strike of a 100,000-barrel a day well in the Russian field was generally "" " u tu mc ureuK. mine market There were few who believed that the well was doing that much, although they admit that it might flow at that rate for a short time. It is looked upon as simi lar to the well struck last fall by the Ohio Oil Company near Lima, which was reported to be flowing at the rate pf 72,000 barrels a day, but which turned out to be more of a myth than a well of that-calibre. St. John Constant, who went to Southern -Russia in 1863, and who has practically de veloped all the oil in that country, has written to a friend in Bradford describing the region, and the difficulties he had to contend with. The first well was struck in 18G5. 70 miles back from Tarnan, near the foot hills of the terminal range of the Caucausus Moun tains. It first pumped 30 barrels a day, but when drilled deeper It started to flow and made 800 barrels a day for 11 months. They had no pipe lines, railroads or tank", and tha oil was saved in a dam nntil 50,000 barrels accumulated, when the dam burst and the oil ran down, the bed of a watercourse. Constant built a refinery of 1,000 Darrels capacity at Xovorossisk, a port on the Black Sea: also a large machine shop, boiler shop and foundry. Standard Roue "Wants a Chirter. The Standard Russe, composed of French capitalists, finally got control of the affairs of the company, and built a railroad from Xovorossisk to tne region of the wells, and the oil is now transported in cistern cars to the ships. These cars have each a capacity of ten tons. The Standard Husse has sus pended operations for the present, as the charter or lease under whloh they nave been carrying on business expires next May, and they are not yet certain whether tbey will be granted a renewal for the next 30 years, the length of time given them in the original charter. With the first of Aprirthe price of glycer ine, and incidentally the cost of shooting a well, will be advanced about 25 per cent A member of a glycerine company stated that durinjr the past year they had lost $17,000 on glycerine, but had made some money on other explosives. The different glycerine companies throughout the oil regions have been working under an agreement for some time to maintain prices, and they have all entered into the agreement to advance them at the beginning of the month. Personal. John R. Pattern has disposed of all of hii oil interests and is going to Mexico, where he has invested $100,000 in a mine, and will take with hlra from Pittsburg a full outfit for working it The McDonald Gances.

Haugh & Keenan, 33 "Water it wsu A SLUGGISHSTREAM, It Gets Fool and poisonous Unless It la Kept Constantly Flowing. At this season of the year people feel more or less weak, run down, wearied and de pressed. It has been commonly supposed that it is due to Impurities of the blood, an. that only by purifying the blood can goo hea 1th be secured. Is this true? Let us see The blood gets impure because it is slug frish. How docs a stream get impure, with green scum and poisons on tho top? Simply because it doesn't run. A running stream la not impure, but a stagnant or sluggish stream always is. If, therefore, you would keep your blood pure, keep It moving, keep it throbbing. The moment it begins to bo slnssish, it will-begin to be impure, and vou will feel the effects in tired, weak feelings, depressed emotions, and a thousand and one troubles which always follow. Tho proper way to keep the blood stirring is by the use of a pnre stimulant, in moderation. Stimulate it gently, and it will keep in con stant, healthy motion, and good health will follow. There is but one way in whloh this can be done, and that is by the use of the purest and best stimulant yon can find, preferably whiskey, and there is but one ab solutely pure, medicinal whiskey known to the world, and thit is Duffy's Pure Malt Scientists admit this, the doctors all confirm it It is more generally used to-day than any other whiskey hich the world has ever een. and it is popular only throuzh its merit. Do not let any druggist or grocer de ceive you by saying they bavo some thing "Just as good,' "something they can recommend," etc When any dealer saya this he has an interested motive, which usually is to sell you something cheap and inferior, on which he can make more money.
