...wildcatter of all, Mike Ben-edum (TIME, Oct. 7, 1957), and his partner Joe Trees in 1904 found an arrow carved in a rock in West Virginia, heard a tale that it pointed to treasure buried by pirates years before, sighted along it and drilled a 3,000-bbl.-a-day producer. In the same state, hearing of a blind farmer's vision of oil spouting over his maple tree, they drilled on the spot, found a 300-bbl.-a-day well. In Illinois, following the directions of a blind judge who had developed his own theory...

...United Mine Workers out on a major strike. But last week, old John L. showed that his roar can still jolt the coal industry. The mere threat of a U.M.W. strike was enough to make unionized soft-coal operators accept costly new contract terms, topped by a $2-a-day wage boost, which will bring the union miner's standard pay to $24.25 a day. John L. has generally accepted labor-saving machinery and consequent boosts in productivity, but these have not been enough, soft-coal companies implied in announcing that prices would go up after Jan. 1.
