Last week most of the property OF
the Rockbridge Company, at the boom
town of Glasgow, Va, was sold at pub
lie auction, and the prices secured were
all out of proportion to the original
cost of the buildings. In one or two
instances, buildings substantially built,
that cost $4,000 or more, were knocked
down at $500.

The Remarkable Advance In on.

The rapid and almost unprecedented rise
in coal oil which began recently Is based
upon entirely legitimate causes, probably
the most important being the established
fact of greatly diminished supply GA account
of many wells, particularly in Pennsylvania,
not producing oil, and also the increased
consumption for machinery, etc but partlc-
ularly the use for making fuel gas for the
large manufacturing establishments in Pitts
burg aud vicinity as well As other places.
1t is also well known that the natural gas
wells have to 4 very considerable extent
ceased to flow, and where numerous furnaces
were altered p few years ago from coke or
coal burning to adapt them for natural fuel
gas at a cost ranging from $4,000 to 800
600 each, it induced experiments for pro-
ducing fuel gas from oil, these were emf
nentiy successful aud Immediately put into
active, practical operation. Therefore, the
| above named causes naturally and impera-
lively created the advance in oil. l. is not
in any manner speculative but in obedience
to the unalierable law Of supply and de-
mand. In the past two years the stock OF
oil has fallen from Is. 1000. 900 barrels to about
1900, 600 barrels. The monthly published
reports for April /, 1855, show about the
latter amount to be on hand.
Al present oil production is from 5,OOO,-
600 barrels to 5000, 900 barrels a month be.
hind consumption. so it is plain that at this
rate if no new big oil strikes are made it is
only a question of comparatively short time
when the stock on hand will be consumed.
II appears that the leading oil field Of the
| United States now is the Sislersville district
in Tyler county, W. Va.
A large amount Of prospecting Is now
going on in West Virginia where it is firm
ly believed much good territory is to be
found. Z c. Rosenzi, an expert op
orator Of long experience and from Pitts
burg, is about to m prospecting
near Harper's Ferry, notably at Shenandoah
City, on the property Of Edward w. Miller
of Philadelphia. The impetus thus given
to this industry has started the drilling and
other accessory mining tool manufacturers
night and day, being behind in orders which
are large ~ well as continually increasing.
Drillers Of wells are getting from 81 TO IS
per day and in great demand This natural
aud substantial boom is proving a great
blessing OF relief to The universally depress-
Ell condition Of business hitherto existing in
nil paris of this country and, doubtless. will,
to 8 very large extent, restore prosperity.
