How was Petroleum Produced?

The theory of the production of Pc
troleum which seems to find most accep-
tance in Pennsylvania, is that it is the
result of the action of intense heat upon
a coal formation; that the chemistry Of
nature is the same as that adopted by
man to obtain kerosene or rock oil from
highly bitumiuous coal-that is, to put
the agent in a 1etort, and subject it to
extreme heat. The results are gas, oil,
and an earthly residum. This theory
would account for the perculiar pheno-
mena characteristic Of the oil region Of
Pennsylvania. There oil is found on
the surface of the water, while gas ex'
tends over the surface of the oil. The
philosophy of the Glowing wells" of
Pennsylvania is that in the process of
boring, the gas and oil arc missed, and
the water beneath them is first struck by
the drill. In this case the gas, rushing
from some pent up reservoirinthe neigh
borhood to the only vent hole, forces It's
way through the oil and water, and then
again through the water to the oil, dri'
wing the latter to the surface, This
constitutes a FLOWING WE'LL" OfcouTse
as gas is struck first, it will como to the
top of the vent at once, mixed with oil,
and must be exhausted before the oil
can be removed by artificial means.
This constitutes what is termed "pump-
irg we'll"
Before d escribing the signs of oil
upon the property, we take the ibe, ,ty of
mentioning one or two facts which our
experience has taught us concerning
this mineral fluid.
First The petroleum springs of this
country have their origin everywhere in
bituminous shales or lime stones, and
having probably nothing to do with the
coal formation, since these rocks are con-
siderably older.
Second-Petroleum follows the law
Of all liquids, c. G. water, and collects in
basins or assures, or both, with this diff
ference, thatit may rise in gaseous form
and be condensed in an everything layer
sponge. Even in this layer, however, il
will seek to collect in basins or assures
wherever it is possible, and by subse
Guent evaporation of gases, it may comt
to be under great pressure ,soas to spon
from we'll with a considerable force fol-
a long time When the pressure of ga'
coases, which it will do in most cases, thc
oil must be pumped flom its receptacle
like ny0ther liquid.
Third.-The best condition for tn,
discovery of petroleum in abundautquan
titles are: lst, basin formed by bit
luminous stratum, with some imperviou'
rock below; and I'd, alayer ofrock above
sufficiently porous to form a receptacle
as docs the sandstone of Venango coun
ty.

ELK COUNTY.

So long a backwoods wildcat county,
it is only now that the inexhaustible
treasuers Of Elk, are being developed.
Her magrif, ent forests, 1t is true, have
for years been source of immense profit
to her hardy sons and long will be. But
there are other interests of which the
many eyed Goddess speaks through her
sounding trumpet; and for once we see
her usurping the place of Truth. AL
ready inexhaustible veins of the richest
coal have been opened and every train
leaving our county is freighted with the
riches of her hills. Land is being pur-
chased with view of further mining
daily :and we have yet to see one per-
son dissatisfied with his bargain. The

of a quality, superior probably to any in
the adjoining counties, exists in great
quantities; and a monster forge near St,
Mary's is about being erected.
Further, we have every good reason
to say confidently that oil exists in
and awaits only the sinking of the well
to be procured. Companies, composed
of parties successful in Venango, have
confidently invested in lands in this
county. The Messenger tract having
been recently sold for $4,000 and the
Elliott tract for S54, 900. These are in
Spring Greek township, on the Clarion

some 20 miles below this place. The
well at Ridgway is at the depth Of 235
feet; that at st. Mary's, 200 feet
We understand the company oper

in Benzinger township, some 6 miles
from St. Marys. The opeator at this

that he has all confidence in the full

am sitting, where the twilight shades
are fitting,
And the memory OF the past draws
around me like spell
Breathe the last tones of the nearest, the
fondest and the dearest,
Still within my ear in tremulous fare
well,
1t is hard 10 think Us partcd-trusted-
trusting-steel true hearted,
And that many links may crumble from
the lengthening chain OF time,
Ere my lips may feel the pressing, or my
hair the light caressing
That have filed my soul with rapture
and love almost sublime.
All, our lines have twued together, like
the vines in sunny weather,
And we never thought to part until
death should breal- the chain
With which golden love had bound us,
wearing like halo round Us,
Every thought and every !celing-gras.

Yet thou'rt gone Thy country calls
thee. Factions stormy cloud en-
thralls thee,
And 1 never more may look intothc blue
depths ofthine eyes
Never hear the loved voice stealing, with
its rich deep freight of feeling,
On my ear with gentle murmurs as the
evening glory dies.
Life seems 'reft of every beauty-I have
s3arce a heart for duty,
Az sit here thinking, thinking Of thee,
darling, far away,
Tears are falling fast and faster-Heaven
grant no dire disaster
May make the gloom eternal that is on
my heart to day.
Yet, in ali my pain and sorrow, could 1
call thee back tomorrow,
Dear, my lips should never breathe the
words to hasten thy return,
Though sit here sadly sobbing, with a
heart so wildly throbbing.
I could never quench the sparks that on
thy bosoms altar burn.
No, our hearts may wander, darkling, till
l see the diamond sparkling,
Ofthe star that yet shall dawn to bid us
hope for peace once more,
And my soul leaps, cen IN sadness, like
an infant in its gladness,
To think how proud I'll greet thee when
the bloody strife is Ger.
III not think CT death and slaughter,
tinged with blood the crystal water
OF the purling streams that murmur
through the forests of our land,
But ofbanners proudly streaming, where
the camp fires now are cleaning,
Hear the rolling shout of millions peal
from Freedoms fearless band,
See I thee, bold, brave and daring, on
thy manly forehead wearing
The shadow Of a purpose strong as every
pulse of life
See thee strike the foe before thee, while
the rolling clouds sweep DER thee,
On mid clash of sword and sabre, in
the hottest Of the strife.
Love, God have thee in his keeping ever,
waking or in sleeping,
Every hour breathe prayer for my
country's cause and thee,
And [ feel His love ,cW fold thee, till
my eyes again behold thee,
In the flush of manly beauty, and the
pride of victory.
