Coon Or. NEws.-A letter from
Burksville, KY, to one of the direc-
tors of the Sacramento Petroleum
Company, states that the well at the
mouth of Crocus creek is now produc-
ing from one to two hundred barrels
of oil per day Some trouble hereto
fore occurred in the management Of
this well, and in the peculiar forma-
ton through which the oil is obtained
the pump was not large enough to
exhaust the water, so that the oil
could come up, and crevice in the
rock let much of the oil waste into
the river To set both these Difficult
ties right the well was sunk deeper and
a larger pump put into it. The result
has been that the oil has come up and
is now coming in magnificent quaint
ties and in superb quality This well
at the mouth of Croeus Creek, and the
known facts that exist as to the old
American and Garnet wells, to say
nothing of the Gilwreath, CreeIsboro
and Cloyd wells, now producing fine
oil in paying quantities, leave no room
to doubt that there is plenty Of oil in
in Cumberland county All who bore
may not get oil, but some will find it
in that region, and splendid fortunes
will be made therefrom Let all in
terested take courage, for the signs of
the times are promising, and few
more strikes in Cumberland may
make milhonaires of those we least
expect.-Louisville Courier.
