The Crawford GA Journal says:

The Crawford (Pa.) Journal says;
On Tuesday, January 9th, well was
struck on Walnut Island in the Allegheny
River about six miles above Oil City. 1t
is yielding one hundred barrels per day
and increasing. This island contains
about seven acres, and belongs to 8 eompa-
ny organized in this place. Among the
fortunate shareholders in the well are
Messrs. D. a. Finney, 81. @. johnson, j.
II. Dick, s. B. Dick, John W. FsrTelly
snd others of our citizens.
The discovery Of oil is quiet revolution
izing Western Pennsylvania. In ten
years the population Of Crawford and We
mango counties will be more than doubled,
and the developement of this interest
will wonderfully increase the agricultural
and manufacturing prosperity of the State.
The Girard U1loH says there is abundant
evidence of the deposits of oil in the ground
in the immediate vicinity of that place.
The Luther Oil Company are now boring
sbeut four and a half miles south Of Gil
rard, on the Flats of Elk Greek, and have
reached 8 depth of three hundred feet,
with good show of oil.
-Four neA companies have been recently
organized, to operate in the immediate vi
cinity Of Clarion.
1t gives US pleasure to announce that two
more of our citizens have been among the
lucky ones. A we'll was struck last week,
near the famous Sherman well, which is
reported TO be flowing four hundred bar
rels per day. James McNsmsrs and R. B.
Cummings are each the owners of an
eighth interest Luck seems to have
struck" the oil operators in this place late
", and we hope the good work may go on
till every one Of our citizens becomes sole
proprietor of one hundred barrel well.
