O OIL WELLS.
Three spouting Wells and a Lake of
Petroleum.

Joe Debarthe writes of a visit to the
only fully developed oil basin of the ter
ritory:
No. 3 well was the first one visited.
Here Messrs. Murphy and Brown un-
locked the well and turned on the
steam" A noise. loud as thunder and
not unlike that made by a locomotives
exhaust, ensued. Then came the oil, a
seething, smoking. black mass. thick as
molasses and two inches in diameter. The
mass, as it rushed from the well pipe,
foated down a gradually inclining ditch
way and over an embankment into the
smaller of two mighty lakes Of lubricat-
ing liquid. In this natural lake lit has
been estimated by Prof. Charles Blyden-
burg) are fully 5000 barrels OF oil.
We'll No. 2 is situated Immediately on
the banks of the Little Popoagie river.
The noise of the up rising gas, when the
oil tube was opened, was almost deafen-
ing, followed a minute later by a two-inch
stream of jet black oil. The entire sur
~roundings seemed surcharged with the
smell of oil.
At well No. l is situated the famous
oil spring that has been written of SO
often. After the well had spurted oil to
a distance of forty feet across the second
lake and had been shut off, our attention
was directed to the unusual disturbance
occurring IN the spring. The oil took
or a motion like water at a boiling heat;
then the large bubbles would burst and
throw the black liquid into the air to a
height of four feet.
Our attention was next directed to the
larger OF the two oil lakes. This lake is
about 300 yards in length, its width vary
ing from twelve to fifty feet, and its
depth ranges from ten TO fifteen feet.
This huge body OF oil is so thick that
wild ducks lighting on its surface become
go weighted that they are never able to
extricate themselves. in consequence of
which the bodies of dead ducks are as
thick on the oily surface as a fly paper is
of flies. Prof. ~Blydenburg estimates the
number of barrels of oil in this lake at
$1,000.
Mr.. Murphy thinks that the daily loss
of oil in wells and lakes by evaporation is
fully three barrels.

The BOonerang'S Douglas creek cor
respondent refers to the discovery of a
rich streak of tellurium at the Florence
mine. Men who have come In from the
camp confirm the report and talk about it
in the most glowing terms. Samples of
the ore have been brought in and many
are Of the opinion they will assay $50, 900
to the ton. The men at the camp seem
to be considerably excited over the find,
and are as happy as larks. Tellurium is
the richest of gold ores.
