Hon. johnson \. Camden, Senator from
West Virginia, has written an instructive
and interesting article for the North Amcri-
can Rerisie concerning the Petroleum Indus
try We take single paragraph
"Few things in fiction are more wonder
iul than the history of petroleum since the
opening of the first oil well in Pennsylvania
on August 2S, 1859. Four years before thst
time, Jonathan Watson who ewned t tract
of land on Oil Creek, noticed oil flowing
from a spring He took bottle Of It 20
Hartford, Conn, TO have it analyzed by
Tell-Lnown chemist This authority pro-
nounced it an artificial product and not
natural one Had any person then pre-.
dicted that Northwestern Pennsylvania and
West Virginia would be found to contain
vast reservoirs OF this oil, and that it would
in q score of years have added 81 100000
900 to the wealth of the nation, be would
have been considered insane Yet such
prediction would have fallen short of the
truth. There are to-day more than 10000
wells producing this oil, aud over 100000
persons are exclusively engaged in handling
il. Railroads have been built to transport
it, while through a network Of over 1909
miles of iron pipe, running over mountains,
beneath rivers and through cultivated iielGs,
streams of it pulsate continually. Oil from
the wells in Pennsylvania lights the streets
of South American cities, cathedrals in
Europe, the mosques of Asia the shop win
dows of Jerusalem, and il is known end
used over the whole civiled void.
