Edward Mechs. one Of the idiotic
army who never read the newspapers to
good advantage, on Tuesday afternoon

poured it on the fire, with the usual re-

shipped Of these luscious grapes.

Gently returned from the petroleum dis
triets of the Pacific Coast. gives glow
ing account Of the nature and profits of

ing of oil in California districts is az cer-
tain as it was in the Bradford field.
The drill always finds deposits, and no
failure, at least in three of the districts,
has yet resulted. II costs $1,000 to put
down California oil well after the
tools are on the ground, or twice as
much as Pennsylvania well; but after
it is down, and flowing or pumping, the
California well is a much more valuable
piece of property than the other.
