The Oil Business.

The oil business is so dull that little In
crest is fel. in new develo pm epts. For sew
teral days oil has only been worth about
81, so at the railro ad-making the price at
the wells $l,25 and less, per barrel. The
production has been kept up by the large
wells in Butler county, and is likely to con-
tnue for some time, as q great many wells
are drilling in that region. During June,
the average production was 26, 4A9 bsrrels
rsr day, aud when the July report appears
It will doubtless show on increase. This is
more oil than the consumption demands,
aod producerss should cnrtsil operations.
But it seems that nothing but general
smash up, and financial crisis viii compel
them to suspend drilling new wells. The
numerous sheritfs sales show that the crash
is coming, and perhaps the sooner the bet-
ter for the oil bus iness in general.
The Hnlings well on the Gates farm, about
mile north east of Edinburg, 10 doing
about Is barrels day. The sanp was close,
and the well is considered to be on toe easi
edge of the belt.

VICINITY OF MoDoc OR SUMMIT CITY.

VICINITY OF MoDoC OR SUMMIT CITY.
On Monday last we paid visst to this
new oil town, located on the Starr farm,
about three IN lies southeast OF Greece CITY.
1t now contains some sixty buildings, Occur
pied as family residences, boarding houses,
grocery and provision stores, livery stables,
hotels, hardware stores, aud last, though hot
least, in the way OF money making, there
are some seventeen places at which hre
water is retailed TO the excited operators,
fortune seekers and others who will visit
the town. Butler county, be II known,
voted in favor OF local option at the late
election; but there are no less then saven =
teen persons in this new oil town, who seem
to have no terro OF the law. AT the present
time there is q contention between the clti-
zens in regard to the name OF the town.
some oontending that it shall be christened
Modoc, while other persist in calling It
Summit City. Application is being made
for post Office, which will doubtless be
granted at on early day and the town no
doubt, will thereafter inherit the name givi
en- the Office. On the Starr farm there are
three wells now flowing immense quantities
of oil. One owned by Percy, Beck and
others commenced flowing ,on Wednesday of
last week, and on Monday following it was
still considered good for 500 barrels The
Grace well commenced flowing on Monday
Oh nd nna tharaa ftor nc
considered good for fully COO barrels. The
well owned by s. P. Boyer ond others, also
commenced flowing on Monday of last week
and on Monday Of this. week its production
was estimated at 500 or 600 barrels per
day.
A new well called the Captain Jack, 10.
Gated on the Harper farm, short distance
east of the old Troutman WE'LL and not far
from Modoc or Summit City commenced
flowing on Wednesday of last week, aud
on the following Mon day sits production
was estimated at 500 barrels per day.
A well owned by Gorm,y, Wick, Hoover
aad Others, located on the NcClelland farm,
between Greece City and the Starr farm,
commenced flowing on Saturday evening
last. and the tirs "a hours thereafter pourt
ed forth about 25O barrels of oil. The
strike is regarded as one Of the best between
the wells on the Starr farm and Greece
City.
The latest intelligence received from this
vast oil field represents that the well owned
by Percy, Beck and others, located on the
Starr, has on some occasions since being
struck, flowed fully 1000 barrels in twenty
four hours. 1t keeps up its production re-
msrkably well, and is considered great
strike.
A we'll owned by Overy, Brawley and
Others, located on the Starr farm, was dcll-
ed some depth into the third sand on Mon>
day of this week, and at once comm-uced
flowing oil at the rate OF 400 or 500 barrels
per day.
The Preston we'll, on the Brown farm,
above Greece City, which was burned the
other day, is about ready to pump again.
