A Miniature Petroleum Farm and What
1t Will Exhibit.


1t Will Exhibit.
OIL CITY, Pa, April 20-In their spare
hours during the past year DR.. c. j.
Reynolds and Peter Gruber, of this city,
have been at work upon a, unique exhibit
on which they are now putting the finish
ing touches, and which they will dupli-
cate for the Worlds fair. 1t is a minia-
ture oil farm, complete in all the details,
on the scale of an inch to every five feet.
The farm shows one of the typical hill
side farms to be seen near Oil City. Ii is
about twelve by eight feet in dimensions.
Around it is a railroad which has thirty
feet of track two inches wide, upon which
an oil train makes circuit every tAree
minutes. This train is made up of tank
cars, loaded with oil barrels, and the tub
cars in which the crude oil is shipped.
The train stops at station out of which
the agent comes automatically.
Four Pumping Wells at Work.
On the farm are seen four pumping
wells one drilling WELL one gas well
and one derrick in process of erection. Be-
side a gully, in which is a little stream
fed from sDring near the top of hill, Is
an exact counterpart of the derrick and
engine house of the Codrake, which can
be recognized. VI the pumping WeIis.oue
is pumped direct and the others connect
ed by the suction rods and attachments
now in use They are all pumped to-
gether The derricks are fourteen inches
high. On and around the unfinished one
the builders are seen at work. The drill
ing we'll is situated near the entrance to
a tunnel, and the bank is cut in SO as to
show the men operating the tools. 1t is
designed that the part thus cut away
shall be so colored as to show the earth,
sand and rock formations encountered in
drilling well along Oil creek.
