Thus we sec that the estimated pro
duction Tor the month OF July (the
month the communication appeared)
was COS barrels per day. We Cannot
see tie sense Of writing such trash to
tie newspapers as was Nash's commu-
nica,ion. We can only :hiuS how the oil
brokers in Cincinnati AMI Chicago
must have laughed when they read the
statement Of Prof. Nash, if they had
the courage to tackle the article. But
perhaps Nash thought that he was do
ing the oil operators favor by thus
misrepresen;ing the facts. We are no
"bulr' nor bear" and we know that
all our operators have no objection to
having The actual production of oil
known 1t is for their benefit in the
end. We do not believe but that to.
day the oil production in West Nir.
ginia is 1000 barrels. We have had
several large strikes since July, but we
have only taken the trouble to find oat
how much oil was produced in July.
In conclusion, VIC would say that we
do not purpose to bother our readers
with this subject again. We shall
make just such structures in the future
as we have in the past, on any dolt
who endeavors to write upon subject
nc knows nothing Of; and ii our neigh.
Dor OF the Times DONE like il, why he
can do the next best thing. We do

but for the purpose Of making money,
and when we cease to make money,
why. OF course, the business will lose
all it interest to us; but until that time
we propose to keep the flag flying.

Overestimating the Production.

1t is ;.cnerall" Supposed, says The
Titusville Herald, that the constant
striking of large wells in the Lower
River Districts increases our daily pro-
duction enormously. Those, however,
who have watched the production
claim that the large strikes Of the past
two months have dwindled down to
comparatively insignificant figures.
Wells reported at five hundred and a
thousand barrels each are to-day not
doing one. fourth Of that amount, while
n large number of the smaller wells, OF
which tile great bulk of the product is
made up, are constantly being shut
down: rs an illustration Of this latter
fact we may state that Fagundus Farm
Company have Shut down twenty.
seven wells. At Petroleum Centre
the following farms have entirely shut
down: Funk Flats, Egbert Farm, Body
Farm, Caxton Farm, Skinner Farm,
Phillips, Petroleum Company Farm.
GiIlespy Farm. The balance Of the
farms aronund Petroleum Centre are
doing about IS barrels, ali told, against
700 barrels two months ago.

a Vessel 100 Years Old.

The Philadelphia EvenimS Tclc-
gyabh Of Thursday, SAYS: The bark
True Love, Captain Thomas Wether-
i'll, has just arrived from Greenland
with a cargo Of krvolite, that will be
landed at Greenwich Point in day or
two. This vessel was built in the year
1864, and is consequently one hu"1rcl
and nine years old. The sides batter
inward to the top Of the gunwale, and
this makes the vessel much broader at
the water line than on deck. In nau
teal language the sides are known As
stumbling home" because they fall in
above the bends.
This bark was built at Philadelphia
but it cannot be ascrrtained with any
degree Of certainty at what particular
point. The Custom House register
does not contain the record, because
the NSSSSl was Ulllll lNSINS NSaio w
fore the beginning OF the American
Revolution. II is most likely that she
was built in Kensington, as il appears
from history that the first shipyardS on
the Delaware were established in that
locality, not far from the Penn treaty
ground. The bark was built for par
ties residing in Hull, England, and
still halls from that place, and tor for
tv.seven years was engaged in the
! whaling business in the Northern seas
and appeared to be at home among the
icebergs ofthe Arctic region. 1t is un,
derstood that the vessel has never re-
quired any considerable repairs. The
bark registers goo tons, but will carry
! much more.

Over two weeks ago III passing the
Asa Say well, one alfmile southwest
Of Greece City, we found that the sand
had been penetrated some depth and

oil. We telegraphed the news to the
ToHrwal, setting forth that the sand

Of olive could not see through the
oil to the salt water under it. The well
after the boiler was moved, was drilled
deeper and oil occasionally flowed
thereCro:u. Not having occasion to
pass that way before our last paper
was issued, we made inquiry Of differ
ent persons and it was represented to
US as good for $50, 200 and 900 barrels
per dav. With such representations
we considered Il safe TO place its yield
at 100 barrels daily, and it was accord
inglv estimated and published thus in
our last paper. On passing by the
well on Thursday last the walking
beam was seen to be in motion, when
we rode up to the tank and found the
pump throwing out stream Of oil and
water Of about 50 barrels Per daY, max
ing a Yield Of six or seven barrels oil

Thus YOU will perceive that 4 well
which has been estimated from the
show which it makes at tire starting

are fully revealed from 100 to six or
seven barrels per day. While this
