OIL ON WHEELING CREEK.-SeVeral
years ago oil was discovered on spring
of water near Triadelphia in this county.
At that time the oil from the Kanawha
region was sold as medicinals agent,
under the name of Seneca Oil, and
some of it having been purchased by a
gentleman in the neighborhood of Tria-
delphia, he compared it with the oil
found on the spring mentioned above
and pronounced them the same. Snbse-
quently slip in the hill destroyed the
spring, but indications of the presence
of oil are stin found in that region.
We learn that a company has been
formed at Point Mills, about eight miles
east of this city, for the purpose oftesting
the question whether petroleum can be
found in paying quautitiesin that neigh
borhoOd, and most of the capital stock
necessary has already been paid in. We
believe they intend to commence opera
lions at an early day.
