Oil.

The following reliable statement in
regard to oil and oil wells in Wood,
Writ and Ritchie counties, FROM the
Parkcrsburg Daily Times, will be inter-
esting to many Of our readers, especially
when it is remembered that Burning
Springs Con the Little Kauawha) is only
about 80 miles from Charleston:
At u considerable expenditure Of time
aud my amount Of inquiry of those who
are engaged in developing, operating or
boring for oil in the section composed
Of " cod, Writ and Ritchie counties of
this State, US well as from those who arc
actually engaged in pumping or produc,
ing, relying only upon statements from
persons Of veracty, and not from infor.
nation derived from "a reliable gentle,
man." We are enabled to lay before our
readers, for the benefit Of the curious,
the doubling, and more particularly those
who are interested in oils and oil lands,
the following information. The Burn
ing Spring Regions, being at the pres
ent time the most important point, for
the reason that moro oil is now being pro-
duced on the Run bearing that name
and its tributaries than any other iD
West Virginia. We therefore naturally
turn our attention to this locality. Con
fnipc ourselves for the time being to
giving the names Of the most important
wells, with the quantity produced at each
daily:
White well flows 500 barrels daily.
Cczzens' well pumps 10 barrels daily.
Jones we'll pumps 20 barrels daily.
Fitch we'll pumps 80 barrels daily.
Groat we'll pumps so barrels daily.
Hazle,t well pumps 35 barrels duly.
Reed we'll pumps 35 barrels DULY.
Marshall we'll pumps 35 barrels daily.
Besides the Karucs, Weitzcl, Wait,
Wilson and others, altogether producing
an aggregate Of about 800 bbls. per day.
We consider the above true and faith
full statement, and the only one that has
yet appeared in print. So many tabu,
lous stories have been circulated wlth
regard to the immense amount OF oil
ioiIy produced at Burning Spriags: as
