THE COATj OUTrlJTFOR TWELTE TEAES

Pittsbubo, Dec. 30.

The year of 1892 will hereafter be knownas the year of strikes, of war betweenlabor and capital, resulting in loss of lifeand millions of dollars. Notwithstandingthese drawbacks the sales of raw iron inPittsburg amounted to 1,990,590 tons, beingonly 188,914 tons below that of 1891, whichwas a year without strikes. Had not thebiisunderstandings ocenrred at Homestead,Beayer Falls and Twenty-nint-h and Thirty-thir-d

streets, tbey would undoubtedly havebeen largely in excess of any previous year.Below will be lound the sales for eachweek, in a concise form, the first and secondsix months of the year being divided. Thetables are made np from our own weeklyreports of transactions. Apart from this we

have reported 6,752,000 tons of iron oreagainst 4,525,000 tons for 1891, being infavor of the present year 1,227,000 tons.Cold figures, as a rule, are not very inter-esting reading for the general public, buthereabouts the comparative statements 'ofthe iron and steel trade of Pittsburg andvicinity this year's compared with formeryears will without doubt prove an excep-tion to this rule. .

One important feature during the pastyear was the big strides soft steel made intaking the place of iron. Steel at the pres-ent time, in many instances, is being soldcheaper than iron. Here is one illustra-tion: Skelp iron, beingL57Jc, lour months, and steel skelp, d,

L50c, four months a difference intavor of steel of 7Jc per 100 pounds.

In regard to the lnture of prices there is awide diSerence ot opinion. Prices for allkinds of iron and steel are down to, a verylow figure. A recovery, with an improvingtendency, is expected to come toward theend of January, and from that time ontrade is expected to be satisfactory. Nogreat advance of prices is likely to occur,however; the fact is, many discreet pro-ducers, who are in the habit of estimatingeffects and results before they give counten-ance to ventures, object to any advance ofBessemer pig metal that will carry theprice higher than 514 7515 00. Theyargue that these, prices will pay reasonableprofits, and that anything beyond legiti-mate returns promotes a competition thatvery quickly demoralizes conditions andbrings about depression.

Prices of Blooms, Billets and Slabs.The sales for the year 1893 have been very

large, far in excess of any previous year,reaching in the apgrosato several hundredthousand tons. Prlce3 show a wide ranee.January opened at $25 032C 00 per ton; butthese prices were only maintained a shorttime. February opened at $21 50 andbefore the end of the month prices droppedto $23 00. The syndicate that was formed tomaintain prices at $25 CO fell to pieces in avery short time. During November the de-mand was active, spot billets bolnc soarce,and sales were mado at $23 00. At the sametime later deliveries could have been ob-tained at a much lower fltrure. The marketopened January 7 at $23 0fl25 00 per toncash; closed December 23 at i"il 002i 75, ac-cording to time of delivery. The weeklyrange of prices follows:

xhs coal orrpur.Shipments for 1893 Fall Considerably Be-

low 1890 and 1891.The navigation of the Ohio riyer ii very

uncertain. Take the present year, for ex-

ample. There were no shipments bywater during August, September, Octoberand November. This, however, is somethingunusual. Hence the year's shipment is oneofthe lowest for years, and falls below lastyear 13,307,000 bushels and below the yearof 1890, 28,712,000 bushels.

The Monongahela Valley miners hayebeen on a strike since the first of July.The result is that, notwithstanding the tactthat no coal was shipped the last fonrmonths, there is only about 5,500,000 to 6,000,-00- 0

bushels loaded. At the same time thepools are crowded with empty barges andboats waltlmr to be loaded, the dlfTorencebetween the operators and miners beingone-ha-lf cent per bushel. The railroad menpay 3 cents per bushel for mlnlnz.The river operators are willing to paythat, but no more. The say they have tocompete with parties who pay half a centless than they do and will not do so anylonger. Many men, who ought to knowwhereof they speak, say that the day Is notfar distant when coal mining will be doneby machinery- - The matter will soon betested; one of the large coal operators isputting in machinery In one ofthe large pitsIn the fourth pool. Of course, if thi j provesa success, the whole system of mining willundergo a change ana there will be an endto strikes

The lower markets are reputed fairly sup-plied with coal, notwithstanding the limitedamount that has left Pittsburg during theyear. Following were the shipments (bush-els) to Cincinnati and Louisville for the pasttwelve years

HANI HEW PiPE IINES CONSTKUOTEU

The history of oil business for 1893 will'be remarkable only for low prices and this"'

development of the Sistersville pool.T

The McDonald field is already a part ofthe history of the oil country. Its bestdays are over, its glory departed, but thememory ot its wonderful wells will neverbe forgotten. Before they were brought id,there was not a man in the business whowould have believed that within 18 milesof Pittsburg oil wells wonld be found which .

for days would produce over 10,000 barrelsper diem.

There are now few, very few, whoimagine that such another pool, ii anyexists, will ever be struck; although a ed

geologist, who bas engaged in thsoil producing business, stated, a lew dayiago, that there is liable to be immensequantities of petroleum stored away in the60 miles below us which is supposed torepresent the earth's crust. And it is notat all improbable that with the improve-ment in oil well machinery and drillingtools which is constantly being made,it will be possible to drill twice orthree times the depth which they axe ableto no now. Many more apparently impos-sible things have succeeded.

Since July, 1891, the territory around thoboroughs of McDonald and Oakdale, and thevillage or Noblcstown, embracing a resionsix miles long, and from a mile to two mileswide, has produced nearly 11,000,000 barrelsof crude oil from about 800 wells.

This is a wonderful output for so short atime, but a year ago there were hundreds ofmen interested In that field who believedthat Its production would be much largerthan It has since proven to be.

Dnrlng the past year scores of wells havebeen put down which demonstrated beyondquestion that McDonald was tho mostspotted pool ever opened.

More Money Lost Than Made-I- tIs for thla reason that every man wjio

hag been engaged in it la convinced, butfacts and figures are impossiblo to obtain,that there has been a third more money lostin this field than bas been taken out. Threeor four large firms and half a dozen indi-viduals hit it rich, and wisely refrainedfrom too much drilling: but it is safe to saythat not one man in every 25, who was In-terested in wells in McDunald, got back asmnch money as he put in.

There was scarcely one of the town lotwells that was not divided up Into sixteenthsor thirty-second- and people were beardto boast of being oil prodncers at that timewho only held a slxty-roart- h in a small well.The prices charged for these shares wereridiculous In the light of later developments.Two thousand dollars was frequently paidfor an eighth In a well located on a lot sosmall that the boiler would have to beplaced on the lease of some other company.

Because there were a few big gnshersstruck in the field every man who held alease, or could claim a stick of timber In ariir, believed that be was destined to strikea phenomenal well.

It was not always the tenderfeet who wereroped In or dropped their cash. Some of thooldest heads in business suffered. This wasnotably the case on the western horizon,when the Fife well, and afterward a goodono on the Walker, were struck.

Old Timers Pooled by the Ftfe.Some old timers pounced onto the farms

in that region and a dozen wells were soondrilling. Scarcely one of them will pay foritself.

Daring the fall of 1891 only the body of theMcDonald field was opened, while In 1S92 allofthe spurs and extensions of the mainbranch have been brought to light. Thiswas notably tho cose in the territory northof Oakdale where the Wettengell veilsmade over 100 barrels an hoar lor several.

Then the GoTdon sand territory south of v

Wilson Grove was opened up by tho well onthe Meise farm, ana a paying pool was de-veloped. It Is now supposed to bo pretty-wel- l

defined.Later the big wells on the Scott farms, lo-

cated aDout two and a half miles southwestof McDonald came in at nearly 100 barrelsan hour. They wore five sunders andshowedconclusively that they were on an extensionof the McDonald belt. Numerous test wellsbad previously been put down In that

and although Knox Bros. & Co.'s So. 1Scott was a light five sander, none had beenable before to strike the rich heart of thepooh It is only now In Its infancy, andthe half a dozen wells which aregoinz down around the Woodland Oil Com-pany's and Enox Bros. & Ca's wells on theScott ought to define the extent of it. Howfar it may extend to the southwest Is merelya matter of conjecture. Although therehave been some well3 put down ahead theycannot be taken as thorough tests.

Ifear Midway and Venice.There is still some work being done around

Midway, but the sand is of such an uncer-tain character and the probable productionso variable that no wells will be put down,unless It is necessary to hold a lease, until abetter price is paid for oil. It is Gordonterritory.

Venice is still attracting some little atten-tion, but not nearly so much as it did a fewmonths aio. The operators In this locality,which is about five miles due sonth of Mc-Donald, have several chances for gettingback the money which tbey put into a well.They are liable to get oil in the Gordon, gasIn tue oil In the fourth sand andeither oil or gas in the fifth sand. 'one ofthe oil wells so far developed have producedover 100 barrels a day, but some of thegassers have been good ones.

Coming Dack to the vicinity of Koblestownand Oakdale a few little spurs are foundwhich have excited considerable Interest.The first of these is the fifth sand pool sonthor koblestown, which was opened up byBrown Bros., and the Sobison well on theMoMurray property.

It made from 33 to 33 barrels an hour forsome-time-

, and led to considerable drillingaround It. Greenlee & Jforst secured thobulk of the good property, and drilled aboutfifteen wells in the locality.

A well which promised to open up a nicepool was the Forest Oil Company's Ko. 3 onthe Gregg farm east of Oakdale. It madeover 30 barrels an hour, and on the strengtnot it half a. dozen wells were almost Imme-diately put down by various parties, and theowners will be extremely lucky If any oftbe wells pay forthemselves. Further mill-ing has about been abandoned in the neigh-borhood.

Later Fifth, Sand Developements.Then what may prove yet to be a product-

ive spot was opened below Oakdale bythe Forest Oil Company on the Sterlingproperty, apd Jennings Bros, on the SprouLBoth wells Vere fifth sanders and camo inat from 23 toHO barrels an hour. In conse-quence half a dozen wells aronow drilling-in tbe locality oi tue apro-i- i auviaierim;iarms.

Frank Fertig recently completed a400-harr- el

well half a mile south of Oakdale,and there is now considerable aotlvlty Inthat direction There is no territory to drillin the heart of the McDonald field, as allthat Is worth anything has been developed,but on the edges and in tbe southwest thereIs yet plenty of room for work.

There la another part of this field whichhas recently come Into prominence. Al-though known as the McCurdy it U nothingbut an extension of the big wells whichwere found near MoDonald. McCurdy wasdeveloped first by John U. Patterson andwas followed by McDonald. Within a fewweeks the Forest Oil Company drilled an oldwell, No. 6 D. K. Clever, into the fifth sand,and it started to flow 60 barrels an hour. Itis northeast of the McDonald wells, and eastof the old McCurdy district. A couple ofwells have been put down n ortheast ot it,but tbey failed to get anything In tbe fifthsand, and now it is believed the streak runseast and west, or to the southwest. Thiswell has led to a good deal of drilling, andtbe extent of the pool is yet a mystery.

In the Fourth Sand District.Almost immediately northeast of the old

McCurdy field, and only three miles fromChartiers, some good fourth sand wells werestruck within the last four weeks, on the Mc-

Coy and Swing farms. There was a goodwell on the Devlne, owned by the Forest OilCompany, which had been drilled In sometime ago.

The recent wells are owned by J. M. Guf-fey, 8. D. Eobison and H. S. Stewart. Theyhave started to drill a number of others, and ..people who bold adjoining leases are pre-- ,

paring to develop their stun. There are at .s

number of eas wells In the vicinity. andVan- - .;.operator is almost sure of getting a gassor, ojj
