MISCELLANEOUS OLE NRws.

of last week, s6ys: The Jones we'll, at Burn.
ing Springs, stuck oil on Friday last and is
now throwing over 200 barrels per day.
We consider this among the best wells at
the Springs, and the great merit is that the
depth is over TOO feet This well, when
tubed, had no show OF oil The Philips
well, struck Thursday previous, was pump
ing on Friday at the rate of 200 barrels per
day, Newberger and Braidons we'll bids
fair to big thing. 1t flows daily about
800 barrels Of oil and water. Of the ~
wells bored at Burning Springs, since last
May, 81 ore successful.
No less than one hundred and twenty-five |
steam engpes have been delivered, by tle
Great, Western Failwhy'at fhe 'yillage bf
Boutwell, G. W., for the purpose of being
employed in sinking wells. This represents
sum, OF probably two hundped thousand
dollars. The machinery of alf the oil dis
tricts Of Canada must be, of the value
of five hundred Thousand dollars. 1t
/ is probable that nearly three times that
amount has beei expended III sinking wells
and other operations, Which shows a total
expenditure Of over two mil!iohs of dollars
for oil purposes 1t is estimated that the
whole production of the wells Just now Is
about sir thousand barrels per month, which
at present prices will produce over sixty
thousand dollars per month or seven hun
dred and twenty thousand dollars per
