How an Oil Well is Made.

After selecting spot for well, the arte-
sian drier raises a derrick abont HOT. in
height, bringing up steam engine OF about
six horse power, and then, after driving
down an iron pipe about six inches in
diameter through the earth and gravel some
fifty feet or so tO;the first strata of rock, intro
duces drill of about two and half inches in
diameter attached to temper screw, and
thence to the "walking beam" and engine,
with which he bores now at the rate of eight
or ten feet per day into solid slate soapstone,
say one hundred feet; he then comes to the
first strata of sand stone, which may be ten
or twelve feet in thickness and boring through
blush cast, and working on say for twenty
five feet or so, he reaches the second strata OF
sandstone, out Of which there comes rushing
up, when the right vein is struck, infamable
gas, salt water or petroleum. The bore of
the well Is enlarged by a "rimmer," and then
an iron tube in sections of about fourteen
feet and closely screwed together, is inserted
by sections and run down to the veins Of oil;
fax seed bag, which expands when wet, is
fixed between the tubings and the walls of
the well In order to pervent the surface wat
er from descending; "plunger" or valve pis-
ton, is introduced into the tube and sucker
rod. being attached to the walking BEAM"
the conduit pipes and tank, which may hold
sixty barrels, being in readiness, the engine
moves and the precious treasure gushes forth
This IL what is called pumping we'll. In the
allowing well-that Is such as send the oil
out spontaneousiy-th drill must go down
into the third strata OF sandstone; butt this, in
some instances is very deep. ~
