THE MAN Of OH: I Ii; /
By 3. WINTHROP JONES'.

copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso
ciation.l
One morning about fifty years ago Il
tall man with black beard, his head
lent in thought sauntered along the
bank of creek in Pennsylvania. An
idea had got into his brain, and he
could not get it out.
There have been many men similarly
infected, but there have been few-a
very few-who have worked out their
idea successfully.
The man of one idea stopped beside
trench and watched people placing
blankets on the water it contained,
then taking them up and wringing
them over tubs. This was the early
method used in gathering petroleum.
The oil exuded from the soil and when
collected in the trenches, being lighter
than water, rose to the surface, from
which it was either absorbed by the
blankets CT skinned in dippers. The
process had been borrowed from the
Indians, who used petroleum for l1ni-
ment.
The man watching the work had
seen it often before. Whence came
this oil? A vision Of great oil lake
lying below the stratum Of rock COW
cred by the soil from which the petro-
leum exuded filed his mind. And why
did it come up through the soil? Be-
cause Of pressure. There was not
room for the oil lake in it's rock prison,
and it was striving to get out.
Then came the thought, If he could
bore q hole in the rock the oil would
burst forth as water from a hydrant.
One morning in the spring OF 1901
the man Of one idea started from New
Haven, Conn.,, for the banks OF Oll
creek, Pennsylvania, with thousand
dollars in his pocket, furnished by
hackers, to be used in drilling that
hole. With it he bought all engine
and hired an experienced driller. The
engine was long in coming, and the
driller, convinced that his employer
was a crank, finally refused to stand
by him. The summer wore away, the
money was expended, and the enthu-
siast's hackers, losing faith in him. de-
clined to furnish more funds.
Those who were collecting Oil IN
blankets and Swimming it from the
surface Of water went on with their
work regardless of the man of one
idea The people living on OIL creek,
passing day after day his uncompleted
preparations, considered him a mono
maniac-a man who wished to bore
down into the earth to find a lake OF
oil: What more absurd idea had ever
got into the brain Of man? The sto-
ries of Munchausen were no more I'M
probable. The children in the streets
ieered him, and their parents tapped
their foreheads as he passed.
The winter came on, and the man OF
one idea found himself facing poverty.
His funds both Tor the purposes q

working out his dream and for sup
porting his family were exhausted.
His children needed food and clothing.
but shopkeepers declined to give cred
it to one who was looking for Pc
troleum lake in the bowels Of the
earth.
A year passed, during which not a
ray Of hope came to the man Of one
idea. Then in the spring of 1859 he
succeeded in injecting two others
with his delusion, and they provided
him with new capital with which to
continue his boring. He secured the
services of practical salt driller and
his two sons, who possessed a COM
plete outfit Of tools to be used in the
work.
No sooner had they begun to drill
than through the porous soil water
poured into their we'll, filling it with
mud and interfering with their work.
The drill ceased to bore, but the brain
Of the man Of one idea worked on. He
must invent some method Of preserv-
ing his we'll. Various experiments he
tried failed Then, securing some cast
iron piping, he drove it into the ground
that he might bore within it. That 1T
was of cast rather than wrought iron
indicates the mans pinched resources.
It would not stand the blows neces-
sary to drive it into the soil. After
more delay better piping was secured
and a section driven ill., 1t stood the
hammering, ard. another section hav-
ing been welded to it. this was also
pounded down successfully. Thus some
sixty feet CT pi!;ing was introduced
and bedrock reached.
The ohst;st e having been removed,
the drill was cot to work. The man
was ncarinr the attainment Of his
idea. He drilled but two days when
the bit struck Il crevice and, being
withdrawn. it was found to he smear
ed with GIL This was on Saturday
night, and operations were suspended
to be reco1nmcn> Cd the following Mon
day.
The CHIEF e~:'ler. who lived in a
shanty near the we'll. early Sunday
morning went on an errand to the der
rick house There he saw a sight that
told the story Of his employers sue
cess. The oil was bubbling over the
piping. running over the floor of the
derrick and thence into the ground.
The first idea that entered the mind
Of the dscovercr was that fluid then
worth dollar gallon was running
to waste Having arranged for catch
ing the flow. he went and announced
his discovery to the man Of one idea.
And what did this oozing of OF
through an iron pipe inserted beneath
the rock mean? 1t meant that new
source of wealth had been opened to
the people of the earth destined to
produce thousands Of millions Of dol
lars, to give light and heat to myriads
Of people, to be manufactured into I'M
limited products.
This man of one idea, who drilled
the first oil well in Pennsylvania, was

In Woodlawn cemetery, in Titusville,

Eather had little opportunity to be-

always covet what they have been de-

me. A farmers boy came galloping
0fter me and, catching my rein, saved
me from going over a high bank into

AN Intimacy sprang up between my
