OIL IN WEST VIRGINIA.
The Greatest Excitement in the His

MORGANTOWN. W. Va. Nov. 1.-THE
operators began on Thursday to drill deep
er the well recently drilled for oil on the
Camden farm, in Lewis county. This was
the gusher which. for several days after it
came in, produced 2.o00 barrels a day and
caused big section of Lewis county to
be leased for oil. Since then, il is said,
the flow has been reduced TO five barrels a
cay. Many oil men who have since invest
I'd in Lewis county say the well was tam
pered with for the purpose of getting the
surrounding leaseholds cheap VIII lie others
say il is one OF the freak wells which now
and then are found. Should it prove II
be a freak, 1t will cost oil men tnous an is
II dollars as the excitement began with
this well.
The day after il gushed out 1000 bar
rels every hotel and boarding house in
Weston was filled with oil men carrying
leases in their pockets. and even now the
trains going into the town are filled with
hem. The same geological formation is
said TO exist in Harrison and Barbour
,ounties. and the territory in these places
Is fast being taken. Indeed, the excite

discovery of new fields and the high price
Of oil is the greatest in the history of the
business of West Virginia.
