The Volcano lubricator. (Volcano, W. Va.) 1871-1879, 1873-10-14
Tho Oil Interests OF West Virginia,

The present is crisis in the oil in
tcrests OF West Virginia. There has
bten for six months pas: succession
oil inisiOrtunes, from the Affects OF
which none OF our producers or opera
tors have entirely escaped; against
which all have borne u, with COM
incndabic courage and fortitudc. The
tendency Of prices has been uuinser-
rup,edly downward, unt!I the market
has completely fiattened oa,. Credit
and endurance we're never pat 10 4
severer test than in The case Of our oil
men, and that they have no: been COM
pletely submerged, is the strongest
proof Of their solvency. The stress
upon them was discouraging enough
before the financial disaster that has
jus, swept across the Country. That
OF course has added greatly to their
embarrassment; still they bear up
against il, AID when the storm mas sul-
~ passed, il they get fair play they
will DC. and dcservedly so, masters Of
the situation. Confidence with good
degree OF patience is all that is neces-
sarv 10 airing rs safely through this
valley oil financial; t,ibu!atior.
The best men even are soreiv pressed
upon all sides: the low rice ci OF! will
rot justify handling or moving at this
time, aud FOR this rc1Son, sales must be
ver.. li:nitcd until there IL al advance.
The present depression cannot Last;
In the very nature o; :h;.isS the price
tnast eventually advance and then de-
l,rerance will come. But until that
time there will be much room for
mutual aid and mutual forhcarance.-
The ruturc A. we'll as ;ne present inter
est OF the oil trade indicates this as the
only fair, as it ID the only safe policy.
The State and especially this section
Of il, has as deep interest in the future
development. as It has IN the present.
and ans course that Tor either present
good or present greed, will crush the
operator. will put or: community in
the position e the man who ripped up
the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Oil development in oar State is only
in its infancy. There are thousands Of
acres of territory lying between the
Volcanic and Gale territory and the
Ohio r:Eer; embracing the Horse Neck
region, Cow Greek, Bull Greek, French
Creek, SC, upon which a derrick has
never been erected, that arc rich in
Petroleum. The same is equally true
of even larger sections OF territory IL
the opposite direction from Volcano.
As soon as the oil interest RECEIVERS
from its present prostration,
development will proceed rapidly in all
these localities, and the men who have
already invested their money,and stand
ready 10 invest more in this venture,
are entitled to more than our sympathy
they deserve our cooperation, and,
if need be, active and liberal material
aid. Let us he watchful lest they fall
between the bulls and the bears.-Ex.
MIDDLE MEN.-A correspondent OF
The Volcano lubricator. (Volcano, W. Va.) 1871-1879, 1873-10-14


MIDDLE MEN.-A correspondent OF
the St. Louis Democrat is responsible
for the following:
MIDDLE MEN N TRADE There Is
no denying the court that is paid to
the rising party by men Of all callings
and conditions. The otker day ven.
cradle preacher OF the Christian per-
suasion was holding service in his
church, which vas in the heart Of a
grange community. In the course Of
his sermon he became eloquent. and
exhorted his hearers to come to Christi
ard insisting upon personal and direct
commtuion @ith the Father, declared
tina, all other means were as useless as
middle men in trade. The next day he
went to his butchers to buy him some
meat, and was thunderstruck to be
denied. WHAT he exclaimed, don't
I pay for what I ge.," waxing wroth
as Re reasoned, "Harent ! always paid
for what ! got"
"Yesi' co6lly replied the Butcher,
but I can't sell you any more meat
You mist 20 to the steer for your
steak, and am going to Christ for
my religion, l don't want any middle
mel, +sroefd rce1."
