THE NEVADA NATIONAL
OH Ma.e..

Much exoitement exists In western New
York, along the Penn,y lvania line, relative
10 the recent coal oil discoveries in that
neighborhood. Steam Engines are now em-
ploysd TO raire IL. IL 10 pumped up from
arterian hDres. 10 soLnection with water; in.
TO large vats when the oil rises to the
top end il dipped OF, while the water
10 drawn o6 from the bottom. A per-
centage Of ten cents gallon is retained by
the land holders while the cost of raising
Is not more that ~ cents- II Ia worth about
IS cts in crude state. This oil 10 knewn in
commerce - petroleum" J" or stone oil. In
the neighborhood where IL 10 obtained Il is
known as Seneca Oil, 90 called from the
Seneca tribe OF Indians who first introduced
it to the knowledge of the whites. Until
recently, within the present age Of the world
1t has been chiefly obtained from the surface
Of" Oil Creek" small stream which runs
through the regions Of the present workings.
A singulsrity, however, has recently been
brought to light, which consists Of the fact
that oil through the valley Of "Oil Creek =
are found pits, hundreds and even Thousands
in number, which have evidently been dug
for the purpose Of gathering this oil, after
the present manner Of mining for IL, but
at period 90 remote that trees ESQ years
Of age are found growing upon the earth
thrown oat Of thess pits ! A very interest
ing query is suggested, a. 10 who were the
people who dug them pits. and for what
purpose was the oil gathered. They could
not have been dug BY the present or recent
races Of Indians, who have inhabited that
portion OF the country for they had neither
the means Of executing such works, nor had
they any use for such quanites Of the oil as
must evidently have been taken out. These
ancient workings must be considerd as an
other link in the great chain of evidence
which goes to prove that this continent was
once peopled BY Q race Of, comparatively
civilized people, the very name and existence
of which has been forgotten even in the
ancient traditions Of the aborigines found on
this continent by Columbus aud his eompan-
ions.
