OIL Excitement in New York Town.
New York, October 14th-A Manistee
| special says an oil fever similar to the
crazes which were once common in Penn
| sylvania has broken out there and is raging
| violently. Spectators are pouring in, prop
erty has advanced in price rapidly in the
last ten days, and the people are very much
excited. Oil has been struck in seemingly
large quantities. The discovery was made

a well in the center of his mill grounds,
thinking that salt might be underlying it.
| The well reached depth of several hun
dred feet, when an accident made re-
pairs necessary, and the tubing was
Withdrawn. Shortly after a rushing
noise was heard at the well, and a stream
of crude petroleum was seen flowing from
the hole. The flowing increased in guam
tity and force until the output was 600 bar
rels per day. Another well was at once
started, and has reached a depth of $50
feet Oil is flowing in large quantities.
The excitement in the city is growing in
intensity every day. The lumber interest
made Manistee rich town, and the re-
cent discovery of salt added to its prosper
ity. The oil find has completely changed
the village into booming city.
