Va, September 22.-Leasing, prospect
ing and developing for oil in the inte7
rior OF the three river counties Of Wet
eel, Tyler aud PleasahtS is going stead
lily along, and although slowly, with
good prospects Of opening up some fine
oil territory in several districts in the
three counties. Owing to the great diff
fl ulty I'm getting material and tools TO
the interior, the work Of boring at the
several points to be hereinafter named
has been attended with many delays. A
slight miShap would in nearly all in
stances cause q we ks delay, because
messengers had TO be sent to the near
est railway station aad thence to some
source Of supply
The oil excitement on the edge Of
Wetzel and Tyler, back from the river,
on Fishing creek, is Row reaching Il
fever heat. Drilling at the Mills well
was once abandoned and then started
again. Now further work has been
stopped and the hole plugged. IL is
known oil was struck some time ago in
the Big Indian sand, but the drill was
kept going till the Gordon sand was
reached and a better showing made.
Despite these rumoI which IL is as
serted ON good authority are facts, the
proprietor claims it is dry hole, but it
is also asserted thai he is trying to
lease territory in the neighborhood Of
the well.
As an illustration of the value of ter
ritory in certain portions OF Wetzcl
county, am told that a certain farmer
at Paden's Valley has leased 20 acres of
hill land at the rate Of $50 per month.
This is good indication of the value Of
the territory. Other farmers further
back In the county have done as well,
if not better.
