FIRST DAYS OF OIL
DISCOVERER WAS LAUGHED AT
AS CRAZY.
Had Hard Work to Make People See
the Value of the New llluminant
Only About Fifty
Years Ago.

Fifty years ago Col Edwin L. Drake
discovered oil on the banks of Oil
creek at Titusville, Pa. To-day host
Of people, many OF them enriched be-
yond the dreams of Croesus by his
find, have gathered at Titusville and a
celebration of the event will be
crowned by a banquet, at which mar
velous wealth will be represented, the
New York Mail says.
The story of the finding of coal oil,
which marked new era in human af-
airs and made possible recent marvels
in automobile and aeroplane propul-
sion, reads like tale of Aladdin Lum-
oermen of northwestern Pennsylvania
had long known of the heavy, black,
oily substance sweeping from the
rocks in many localities. The springs"
were sought by Indians as cures ages
before the coming of the white man,
and the trappers and lumber jacks
found it had wonderful healing quail
ties when bound on a wound. Millmen
scooped it up to Intricate their ma
chinery, also.
Col. Drake was poorly paid en-
ploye of the New Haven road at head
quarters. A sample of oil reached him
through Prof. Silliman of Yale, who
suggested that Drake inspect the place
whence the new substance came. He
went to Oil creek, backed by several
men, and after walking about the hills
studying the rocks and the oil which
slowly percolated into shallow pits he
conceived plan to drill and find de-
posits of oil.
Drake could not hire well drillers.
He could not find machinery. He had
to invent it, and thus devised the only
method ever used successfully, the ia
miliar rocker beam and pipe casing in
which the sucker rods work.
Crazy Drake" was the laughing
stock of the region. But persistence
brought reward when oil was found
and Drake knew it could be pumped in
paying quantities.
1t came too fast, in fact, for there
were no tanks. Tight cooperage being
necessary, Mrs. Drake travelled all over
buying whisky barrels. Then an iron
tank was built, but there was no mar
ket for the oil. No one wanted it. OF
this period Mrs. Drake, who is still
living in Philadelphia, says
AT last Col. Drake persuaded the
owner of store in TitusvIIe to place
row of lamps filled with the oil on
his counter. The first night they were
lighted the whole town came on the
run, thinking the store was on fire, so
bright a light did they give. You
know in those days the sperm oil
burned in lamps and wax and tallow
candles gave very poor light And
this discovery of new lighting ma
terial was as much a step forward as
electricity was. We lighted our house
with few lamps and again the people
thought the house was on fire. After
some months slight sale began. Each
household wanted at least one lamp
Petroleum sold then for one dollar a
gallon
The news spread and the world
knows the rest. In short time re-
fining experiments brought in a salable
product, coal OIL it was called. or
