OIL NEws.-A new we'll was struck on

wsst OF Edenburg, in Beaver township. 1t
was tnbed the beginning OF the week, and
started off finely. It ia estimated at from

Other developments in tka. section are
noticed by our M"rtsns correspondent.
}Tha production Of oil is now estimated at
over 20. 600 barrels a day-largely exceeding
the demand. The combination does not
