in the we'll Of Blacksmith Evans, at
Franklin, in the ',0's, and since then

from the few miles square Ct territory
where this oil alone is found. Arounl
its prescribed limits wells that vie
largely of the regu ar illuminate oil
have been drilled, but none OF that
kind OF oil has ever been found within
the %lubricating OF limits. This small
but rich oil district extends into the
village of Franklin, the cou3ty seat OF
Venango County, and there are wells
in many private yards in that place.
The production has fallen OIL greatly,
though, aud the price also. The
monthly yield now is not more thar
100 barrels, and tho price is below a

City, and eight different commercial
products result, Ee ides the oil itself.
