Da.u Not Dryinr Up.

The report of the exhaustion Of the
Baku oil supply, which has lately been
extensively circulated, appears to have
arisen from the fact that "shut down"
of large number of wells was ordered,
for the purpose of checking the over
production which has been going on. 1t
is no uncommon thing for a native Of
Baku to tap supply of 2O,00O,000 gal
Ions of oil, end waste 10000, 900 out of
it, simply for want Of foresight in pro-
viding a csp for the well, or by the omis-
sion to arrange for surface storage.
The authorities have now taken the
matter in hand, and passed laws which
regulate the supply. In view of the rapid
increase in the demand for petroleum, it
is satisfactory to know that Baku is as
prolific Of oil as ever. The oil trade is
rapidly assuming such gigantic proper
tions that for many years there will prob
ably be ample room for America, Russia
and Burmah, as well as for the minor
fields that will in time furnish supply
for the worlds market. But, in any
case, it will be good thing for Russia
when the more careful and economical
methods of America are adopted in the
Caspian region. New York Telegram.
