principal oil-wells of the Baku district lie at
BalAxame or BalakhAnI, about six miles to
the northeast OF the town; this Is an oil
field about three and q half miles In length
by one and half in breadth. To the south
lies smaller field called Bebesbst. One
fountain at Bslakhani uine ty-eight feet in
depth, Is noted as having been flowing
steadily for upward of two years, and still
continuing to yield 500 barrels a day. An
other well not far Of, $50 feet deep, com
menced its career by throwing up a tet thir-
ty feet in the air, and then flooding the land
with oil for a considerable distance all
around, oYerfowing other wells and several
small r5fneTies, so as effectualy to stop
their work. The roar OF the rushing oil and
gas could be heard mile from the spot.
Various flowing wells are said to yield
5000 barrels day, and some far more but
from the fact that these quantities are gen.
orally stated in the Russian measure Of
