wasted in that way.
Oil Bubble Bursts
Oil soon declined in price. The
only means of transportation was by
wagons over muddy, dirt roads to the
Muskingum river. That was expen-
sive and there was little profit left
for the producers. When rapid de-
velopment exhausted the shallow
wells and the Civil War began, the
oil boom along Duck creek ended and
the derricks were left to rot.
After the war control of the ex-
hausted wells and the undeveioped
field around them was obtained by
fasteners who resumed the oil busl-
ness-not for production but for
speculation. Companies with capital
stock ranging from 100000 to
S1,O00,0O0 were formed and the, stock
eagerly purchased by a gullible pub
lie. Fabulous prices, sometimes as
high as $1,000 an acre, were offered
for Duck creek valley lands.
The land was not worth $50 an
acre for agricultural purposes but
quickly rose from $40 to $1,000 an
acre for oil. Fortunes were made
overnight in the land speculation
but there never has been barrel Of
oil obtained from the land since that
time. l.-.
Wildcat Operators
After the bubble burst develop
ment of the Duck creek oil field
ceased except in the vicinity of
Macksburg, which was in both Noble
and Washington counties. There
shallow oil was found in productive
quantities in what was locally called
"the 500-foot sand" Later oil also
was drilled in from the third sand"
at 1850 feet. That was in 1870-and
by 1882 and 1883 wild-catters from
the Pennsylvania oil fields began OPP
erations on Long Run, about three
miles from Macksburg, in Noble
County.
They found oil in the third sand
but plugged the well, pulled the der
rick and reported the well failure
until they could lease or purchase
nearly all the land in the vicinity.
Then drilling began in earnest. There
was a general rush to the new field
from everywhere and the field was
rapidly developed and its limits de-
fined.
The steam engine had come in and
pumping stations were established
to pump both water and oil. The
field was a forest of derricks and
the grounds maze of pipes.
The oval field had an area of about
1000 acres and the wells had a depth
of from LAPS feet in the valley to
1900 feet on the hill. The pay sand
| varied in thickness from three to 20
feet and besides the oil there was
enough gas in the same rock to force
it to the surface.
Allen County Oil Field
In 1885, when Benjamin c. Faurot
found oil at 1881 feet when boring
for gas for his paper mill at Lima,
Allen County, and thus opened up
the biggest oil field in the world, the
Macksburg field had declined TO
about 1900 barrels a day. its 500
