Hoffman Oil Company.

We understand that the Agents Of the
Hoffman Oil Company" Of New York, o.
which Mr. Gro. HOFFMAN is President, have
secured some Of the choicest oil lands in
Wood aud With counties.
These lands were not selected i'll bulk OF
extensive AREA, but the very choicest parcels
here and there, with special regard to strong
surface indications; some of which include
old salt wells, rendered worthless, some time
since, on account Of the salt water being
strongly imprrgnatcd with oil, which at that
time was considered j nuisance, rather than
deemed Of value.
The Agents Of this Company claim that ii
is composed Of sterling aud energetic men
who will carry forward developments at an
carly date, on the most extensive scale. We
orc pleased TO learn this. as it will tend
greatly TO improve the prosperity OF this
region y! country.
We wish the Company the highest success
and hope that our citizens will offer this
enterprise, as we'll as every other laudable
one, all the facilities III their power, for If
doing this We advance the interests Of this
community.
Mcssrs. J. X. SELLEcK and T. T. FEoDI

pa#y, are now operating in Kauawha ond
adjoining counties. They have purchased
ard Leased some most desirable tracts here

Honoring the Brave.

We perceive that a bill has been introduced
into the New York Legislature, by Hon. Sam
uel C. Reid, Of New York city, having for its
object the preservation in the State archives,
Of the records Of service in the field of all the
New York regiments. The object is truly
conmendable, and might find worthy inita
ton in the West Virginia Legislature. A
work Of this nature, properly collated, will be
patriotic legacy 10 pos,eri,y. The record of
the Wes. Virginia Regiments, made during
this war, is eminently brilliant and heroic,
and one of which our citizens may we'll be
proud. The soldiers OF our State stand fore
most among the defenders Of the Union, and
the record Of their deeds in the field, would
form volume 10 be treasured by all pos
terity.-R,9tter.

THE OLD SALT WELLS.
By PROFESSOR E. ". EVANS

In an able treatise on the .oa'iierous
Rock Formation Of the Ohio Valley,
! (Journal Of Science, 1889 the late
DR.. S. p. HlLDEETH made the following
com pu rison between the MuskinSum
region and that Of the Great kanawha,
10 respect to the amount Of Petroleum
produced by the salt wells in each:
This oil rises, in greater or less
abundance, in most Of the salt wells on
the kanawha, and collecting, as it rises,
on the top Of the water, is removed from
time to time with ladle and pct by for
use. The greater abundance Of coal IN
this locality, compared with the Mus
kiusum, gives it decided advantage in
the elaboration Of Petroleum. On the
latter the wells afford but little oil, and
that only during tho time the process Of
boring is going on.
If, then, by operating directly for oil,
the Muskingum region han been found
productive field, We may expect to find
the Great Kanawba rrsioa much more
80.
Dr.. EIlLDRErn was high scientific
authority and having written long
before Petroleum WAS Of any CONNER
cial Importance, he may be reg 'rlcd as
a tisiu,crcstcl witness.
In another treatise, on the geology Of
this region, (Journal Of Science, 1886,
the same author mentions some flowing
wells. from which gas was discharged Ut
intervals, ;n.;uc up with it large
uu,a,i,i"s Of Petroleum" One Of the
most remarkable wells Of this class Of
which there is ans record, was bored on
Elk river, ut a later date than that Of
DR.. lILpRErn'S report.
Those who are skcpucai IN reSaTd 10
the positive character Of the oil iudIca'
tons in the old sal, wells Of this region,
are to DO remindcd that every oil we'll
requires sk;lful management, to make
i, profitable. Formerly the custom was
to tube out the oil in order to obtain
water. Now the object is to tube out
the water in order to obtain oil.
Attempts to recover tho oil in old
wells have not usually proved very sue
ccssful, because in most cases it has been
forgotten at what depth oil was found,
and it becomes necessary to determine
this by series Of expensive and trouble.
some experiments. Borcrs generally
prefer to sink new wells near the site o.!
