Bight Hundred Barrel a
nDoy.
OIL CITY , Juno . The excitement
throughout the oil region does nol
abate in the slightest. The people
did not realize at first that they had
entered upon another era of thousand-
barrel wella. Three in Cherry Qroyo
township , Warren county , which are
now flowing , namely , the Union Oil
company's well , known an " 046 , "
"Tho Great Unknown , " "Tho Great
Mystery" and other appropriate
names , and Captain Murphy's well ,
from a half to three-quarters of a
mile beyond it to the northeast , and
Cadwallador's No , 1 , about five hun
dred feet north of it these throe , by
actual gauge , are known to bo yield
ing four thousand barrels of petro
leum per diem. The "Mystery"
itself , or , to speak more properly , the
Union Oil company's well , is still pro
ducing about 800 barrels daily ,
although it has boon flowing steadily
since the ICth of last month.
There must bo an almost inexhausti
ble reservoir of oil deep below the sur
face of the ground to pour forth such
a flood , particularly with two others
which help to drain the sjmo deposit.
This well is drilled but a short dis
tance into the sand rock , and rnanv
think that if the owners would drill
deeper still greater results would bo
produced. But it is to the interest of
the Ot/ners that the flow should not
increase at present. In addition to
the original price paid for the well ,
the present owners agreed to pay the
original proprietors $25 for each bar
rel of oil above 200 barrels , the well
should produce on Juno 30 , If the
well on that day flowed 800 barrels ,
the original owners would receive an
additional $20,000 from the purchas
ing company. From this it may b
inferred that until the close of th
present month there will bo no doepe
drilling at the first well on lot G4G\
HOW FIRK KEPT A HEUKKT.
Iforrdays before the above wol
commenced to put forth groascr th
rig and engine house at the Murph ;
well were burned to the ground. None
ono but interested parties were at tin
well at the time , and reports were sen
out by them that f ho fire originated in
an explosion of jcas. The story wa
generally credited at the time , but a
story has since been circulated to the
Following effect ; Drilling at the
Murphy well proceeded rapidly , and
before the owner was prepared for it.
tiis drill had touched "the jugular
vein , " as the oil men call it , an
Fact was speedily made known fron (
bolow. Oil flowed suddenly one

the adjoining bushes were well sprinkled

The oil men would soon bo flocking to
the vicinity , and if traces of the of >

nounced ) were soon about the rig and '
grounds the four winds of Heaven , )
leaving the Western Union Telegraph
ind reporters out of the question , ;
nrould soon spread the tidings to the
four quarters of the earth.
To avoid this ardors were issued to
set fire to the scattered oil , and ere
long the derrick , engino-houso and all ,
traces of the oil which had been scat
tered about were licked up by the
ilamos. Then the story about the gas
ixplosion was circulated ,
It Booms to bo a generally conceded
'act among oil nion that when there
s much gas there is little oil , and so ,
is the story circulated and was spread
y the newspapers , the general vor
iict was rendered , "Tho Murphy well
sn't good for anything. " But Cap
ain Murphy know bettor , and as the w
rico of oil stiffened a little ho sold
hort , and when C4G , and later Mur-
ihy , broke the market ho covered his
