ton almost from the beginning to the

la: SO that when oil was discovered IN
1860. Mr.. Camden knew at once what
petroleum meant, he having previously
given attention and investigation to
the production OF coal all from camel
coal. He lost no time in organizing
company and,drilllng the second we'll
for oil In the Burning Springs district,
which was the second oil we'll drilled
~ West Virginia. This was in 1859, a
time long preceding the manufacture
Of tools and appliances specially used
for drilling. and the material useI
and the method,,o drilling were Mt the
time of the crudest character. The
we'll was a great success: oil was
struck in large quantities. and as no
provision had been made for its stor.
age Mr.. Camden devised the plan of
running the oil in troughs into a flat
boat In the Kanawha river. and usnig
the flat boat us tank from which to
barrel the oil.
The distinguished turist. Judge John

partner with Mr.. Camden In this we'll.
From this time on success attended all
Mr.. Camden's efforts as petroleum
producer. and he laid tho foundation

mated. He has been the father OF
nearly all the railroad improvements
in the State. commencing with the old
narrow guage road from Clarksburg
to Weston. and the extension OF the
West Virginia and Pittsburg roah to
Sutton. and south to the Gauley river,
which was successfully constructed
through his energy. The Ohio River
railroad Is the result OF his renlarka-
BILE executive ability. But perheps
the most successful OF his enterprises
was the building OF the MonongaheIa
