since my last 8 number of new wells
have been tubed and tested, and still more
Will be tested in 8 couple Of days. No.
III, the well that was on FIRE some DAYS
ago, Is loving about four hundred barrels,
win sucker rods in. When they are
drawn, it is the opinion that it will equal
the United States well or the Homestead
we'll 3. c. Stevenson, formerly of Con-
nensVllle, but for some time past employed
st the Story Farm as book keeper for John
y. FINK, Esq has been chosen Superinten-
dent Of No. l9, Holmden Farm, and it has
been named the Grant Well.
Nos 60, 81, 50, SO, 16, 8, Sc, rs, "a, IS
and z Holmden Farm, have all been,
pumped and tested, and are yielding large
y, except perhaps, No. 4, which l fear is
R"dTy hole" Nos. 90 and 81 have every
appearance Of being large flowing wells.
One OF The unfortunate men who we're
SO badly burned at the fire at No. I9, died
here on Thursday last. His name was
DR.. Floyd of Michigan. He was an agent
for lots In the new town called B4lltown,
and had been a spectator of the well but q
few moments. He was universally res
pected by all who him. His remains we're
iotsrred in 8 field nesr by. He leaves 8
wife and two children. The other three
who we're SO severely burned at the sams
time, are in a precafious condition, with
little hope of recovery. Their names are
Dugan, Kingsley and Armstrong.
Another writer says:
Walnut Island has been Choking VI"
handsomely for a fortnight It was previ.
ously rated at a 40 or so barrel well, but is
now yielding 80 barrels.
Twin well No. !, on Pithole, is Welding
800 barrels daily. No. 50 is reported to
have increased its yield to IFS barrels
daily. No. l9, the we'll that suffered seri-
Gus dsmsge by fire, is flowing $50 barrels
daily with the sucker rods in. No. rs, on
the same (HOlmden) farm has commenced
flowing 100 barrels daily.
Anew we'll has been developed on the
Egbert farm. It is reported yielding 100
barrels daily.
The celebrated Olmstesd well, which has
been idle for some month";, is again yield,
ing-how much we are not informed.
A new we'll is reported IN Sugar Creek
near the Shipper well, and the yield il
stated at 40 barrels daily.
A new well on the Roberts farm, on We.
mango river Improperly called French
] SANOhN hAO "a CukoA kADDAl
is said to be pumping about 20 barrels I
day
From a Pittsburgh psPer we quote:
We have intelligence from Rousevill'
that the famous Rsed or MOuntsin Well
on Cherry Run, stopped flowing on eun
day night, and that preparations are beinE
vigorously made to m pumping
This we'll has yielded largely ever since !
was struck, and the sudden stoppsge Of it
flow was not anticipated.
A correspondent writing from the Tar
Farm ssys: The old Maple Grove we'll OF
the Blood Farm has recently been cleaned
out and retubed, and is now doing abou
sixty barrels per day. The bluff TERRITORY
on this farm is being rapidly developed
aud will soon represent as many wells 8
the fat. The old Bsusuing well, original
ly n of the best on the creek, is being re
vived by Seymour and Van Vleet, anC
with q good prospect. The outside cssinl
recently adopted here is meeting will
good success, and wells that have been wa
tered out for the Last three months are fss
improving, and there is every prospect Q
reviving them and obtaining the origins
quantity of oil produced. A new well
just struck by j.. NJ. BsrroWs on this farm
Is now producing about two hundred bar
rels per day.
A new we'll is reported struck on tn
Morey Farm, Pithole, upon Lot No. II
The sucker rods, after being ~disconnecte'
from the walking beam, and one joint draw
and uncoupled, were blown from the wei
to the height of fifty feet above the der
rick-followed by q rapid snd continuou
flow of oil. Hoes were being dug in tn
ground TO contain the oil, and to proven
another fire from the flow of the stream
o.. from This vel
and tanks constructed for its future recep
tion.
In speaking of the progress of oil deveI
oPments in Vensngo county, the Titusvil
THE new strikes on Pithols begun Ii
first week in June. The United States
the only producing we'll st that time, wa
giving barely two hundred barrels per day
Now the entire product of Pithole is Sc
down at three thousand barrels, with q rs
ito of increase fully equal to twenty. fv
barrels q day. The improvement in o,
Greek has mostly taken place since tn
first of July. At thst time tue actual ORC
duct was set down by moderate judges a
w thousand barrels. Roaming out oil
wells and striking new ones, has doubled
the product in 8 single month"
Bennehotf Run is rivslling Pitbole in il
o~leaginous wealth. There are several well
on the run now producing oil. The larges
one is but 20 barrels, but farther up is th.
great oil basin, now yielding $40 barrels
The Getty we'll of 200 barrels, q well of tbt
B~ennehof Run Petroleum Company, Civ
ing so barrels, and the Lady Hsrron well
OF $50 barrels, are the most important
So great was the pressure of gas in this las
mentioned well mat it burst the seed bsg
It is retubed with q new seed bag. Tn,
Spencer well is giving 80 barrels and q
well OF the Pe~nnsylvsnia Mining Company
yields 30 barrels. The Nolan we'll, q new
one just 1nished, is to be tubed and pump.
ed. A largo we'll is expected. Four 9th
ers will be finished and tubed by the Both.
Nssrly sl the old wells OF this run are now
10 operation. Some are being cleaned out,
but the majority are being drilled deepsr,
The road Is in very bad conditlon
in consequence of the great quantity OF
oil which Is taken away, al of which
must go on the same road. The Elephant
well, Tar Farm, is pumping 80 barrels per
day. a large number of wells on this
farm which SO cl,sslY surrounded the
Dinsmore we'll, which pumped all lsst
winter, are nearly sll producing an aver
age of 40 to so barrels apiece.
OHIO OIL REGIoE.
The Ohio Petroleum Company have
struck q f1wing well on Federal Greek at
the depth of 5s7 feet. II throws oil and
water TO the height Of forty feet from the
top of the well. The creek near has been
covered with the oil thrown out and sever
al barrels of oil have been collected from
the surface Of the water near it. This is
the FIST positive proof that there was oil
at a great depth in the 0 ilregion, and puts
the question at rest. There must be an
immense power or force of some sort 10 be-
able to throw the oil and water 10 the
height of GIG feet from the bottom of the
well. Experienced oil men, having no in.
terost in ihis we'll. shins It ill yIsId zUO
osrrels OF cl per day.
The Union Iubric Oil Company has two
hundred and forty acres on Buck run, and
n hundred and four acres on Wolf creek.
They have six engines at work and are
putting down twenty four wells, the deep
est of which is four hundred feet, some OF
which have already produced one thous.
and barrels of oil.
The Pennsylvania and Ohio Oil Com
pany has three hundred and forty acres
on Wolf Greek, and one hundred and
sixty on Pithole, all in fee. They are put
