Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1860-12-01

Of oil, the price is now from $500 to $500 per
acre, but have known sales in equally as
good a location at Sl5O per acre.
Ifyou do not decide TO purchase, your next
object must be TO get a lease. The greatest
portion OF the lands has been leased to spec
ulators who expect to make money by sub
letting with a bonus, so-called, and a portion
OF the oil. The oil asked and expected
is aportion greater than the portion TO be
paid by the FIRST lessee, 80 that he win have a
fine margin for his trouble and responsibility.
The rate for leasing is now selling high
from $50 to $l25 per acre bonus and 70
Of the oil. The bonus Is the money paid for
the lease, and the oil 10 be returned is called
the rent. A few operators, believing that so
heavy a rent will be burdensome and even
tually will lead 10 trouble, are proposing 10
take a larger bonus and a less return of OIL
say is or 4. These leases are given for a
short term of years-usually from 10 10 20
years. Some Of them are drawn very strin-
gent, and with covenants that will be very
hard to comply with; and much trouble and
litigation will probably be the result.
The lease must be in writing, Tor may be
printed6 signed by the parties, and the grant
or must acknowledge the same before a mag
i~strate, or some other officer properly author
tized,a and then il must be entered for record in
be Recorders Office of the county.
Having done all this, land all had better
look well to the p~reliminaries, for thereby
much trouble, expense, and obligation may
be saved 1.-THE oil seeker is then prepared TO
sink a well.

and to assure you that whatever my future

As a border people you have peculiar in

The hot and indecent haste of South Caro-

PROSPECTING.

In going into the oil business the first i'm
portant thing is to find a good location
This is not always an easy thing to do. One
should look over the whole ground and from
a careful comparison of facts thus gathered,
make up a Judgment as to a point suitable
for operations. Nor is it safe to rely upon all
that is told one by the spectators, for they are
generally gifted in She line of liberal statement.
The best oil lands SO far So Mecca is concerned,
seems to be a narrow strip or ridge, running
from Northeast to Northwest with such vari-
atoms as the intelligent observer may notice
at a glance from an appearance of the sur
face of the soil. By making this statement l
do not wish to be understood as stating that
the oil is confined to a narrow limit for on
the contrary, 1 fully believe that the oil dis
trict is very extensive. There seems, howev-
er, to be q marrow ridge of land, known to be
several miles in extent, but how wide is not
known, where the oil is found at about the
same depth from the surface-this depth is
from soto 60 feet. Outside of this region, it
may be and is found, but at 4 much greater
depth; and depth is an item of consideration
when one comes to pay for the drilling after
you get two hundred feet below the surface.
It's usual for the oil seekers to get as near a
good paying well as possible, believing that
BY so doing they are likely to do as well, and
acting upon this notion e~xtravagant prices are
given for the land or a lease near good wells,
After making up your mind as to the point
desiesble for oil, you then must secure the
ground. This may be done by purchase if
the ownership is in such a condition as to per-
NIT it. A purchase, even at an extravagant
price, is much to be preferred where the
means of the parties will permit. There are
now several localities where lands can be pur-
chased by the single acre. The price is now
ruling high and varies according to locality.

have quite too long delayed the series Of
articles upon this new and wonderful devel-
opement of riches in the soil which underliOs
the surface of the earth at Mecca and else
where but many circumstances unnecessary
to mention have conspired to cause the delay.
1t may not be a loss to those situated in, or
curious about, the oil discovery, as many new
facts have been developed and much useful
Information gathered in the meantime. The
excitement has increased much faster than
was anticipated. The recent development of
a well of almost fabulous yield has added
wings to the reports, and many tongues to
Madam rumor, so that far and noted is this
modern Mecca of ours, riyaling in richness
the gold mines of ancient Ophir, and in yield
of product rivaling Oil Creek and Tedeout in
Pennsylvania. The influx of strangers is
wonderful. Daily new men come to look, to
see and be conquered. The rainy weather
failed even to check or in any way discour-
age or dishearten the seekers after oil. New
tents are spread, new shanties of pure Cali
fornia style of architecture, are daily erected,
md new wells are continually being common
iced.
The theme is one so broad and so expansive
in Its nature, so wonderful in its richness, so
new and u-naccountable in every respect that
one hesitates long before entering upon its
discussion, or even a description. 1t is sug-
gestive of reflection but not of expression
The truth that the crock may and can pour
me out rivers of oil" is un~deniable, but new
erthsless it is still as strange and wonderful to
our modest comprehension as it was in the
days of the old Philosopher job.
The mining Of oil is the more attractive
because it is somewhat hazardous withal. 1t
adds much to the keenness of pursuit, to re-
fleet that there is a fair prospect Of losing all
one invests. All these matters seem to con-
spire to fan the flame of excitement and
spread the desire for possession.
Many girls as fair as the Franklin girl Of
history, are anxiously waiting for "dad to
strike ile' to insure acceptable beAUx; end
it cannot be told how many fathers have sud
denly turned the half formed resolve into ac-
ton at the sly suggestion, witehing smile,
and ~scintiHating eyes of a loved Mary or Sal
", and how, when that resolve is formed, the
bosom sweIs with hope and the cheeks and
lips takes on fresh vermillion, when in maid
emily meditation, John or James-the beau
ideal of their young and innocent dreams
has been brought into capitulation after a
fair shower Of arrows from cupid's artillery.

YIrrinIn In Arms.

The old Richmond ENGINEER is flashing up.
with a little of the "snap"t exhibited when.
Gov. Wise was It's leading spirit 1t was
then the escape valve for great deal of spas
modie buster from that public functiOnary,
the suppression OF which, it is reported, has
since made him crazy. The Enquirer has
now a flourish Of trumpets heralding a proc
lamation Of war,-actual war between the
South and North. It is going to subdue the
North at all events, and has two ways ofdoing
it: separation peaceable or foreible, or war
without separation. And since peaceable
separation is practically impossible, then there
is left "nO e%fectual way Of bringing to bear
the requisite amount Of commercial pressure
on the North, eIceptb y an act of war" But
the Enquirer Gains its readers in the next
breath by the assurance that the war isto be
a Boodiess onewhich may even be deferred to
an indefinite period but still war must come.
II it does not come and the people Of the
North and South DO not 60 to war;" the ulti-
matea and complete subjugaton ofthes south and
utter destruction 70 our social fabric and ma
terial interests will be the inevitable con-
sequence" UWar does come, then there Will
be no disruption Of the Union andan will be
peace. That is, my hens won't stop running
away into my neighbours yard, and so I am
going to declare war and give him a hOgging.
twill be a fierce battle, but q bloOdless one.
If we don't fght each other, there will be an
utter destruction Of our social peace and do
nestle interests; five do fight the battle viii
never terminate in the disruption Of the most
friendly feeling between Us. This is queer log
&c, but we suppose its all right.
Then the valiant Enquirer reckons up the
-"nunitions of war" and finds that Virginia
has got an armory and 1896 muskets. She
hlsalso, besides sabres, pistols, &c, 229 guns Of
various calibre, IS troops Of cavalry, 26 COM
panies of artillery, 100 companies of light
infantry, and 10 companies of riAemen. Fl
nally, like 8 shell thrown from n Of her
mortars, comes the valorOus boast that "whas
we havn't gotws have the power to takefrom
Harper's Ferry, Cid Point Comfort and Cos
port Navy Yard Now would you do that
you brave Virginians2 You havn't got such
q thing as squad of seventeen, to take Har-
per's Ferry and guard it with a n old
ocw, have your Because you know, in
John Browns time that was essiiy done.
