Letter from the Oil Region
Sepi. 22d, 1870
p. OKAY MEEK :—‘4f you have never
visited the Oil Region of Pennsylva
-OM, you should do so at
. once. The
Oil Region of this State la a wonder.
That the earth should provide such a-,
disagreeable substance tts crude oil la
truly wonderful; and any person who
has any desire to he any body should'
visit the Oil Region of Venango Conn.
Or. The great cnriosity,a flowing well,
h a s ceased to exist. \Vella are no
l o nger permitted to , flow—modern im
provements and experience have shown
that flowing wells are not profitable;
HO that now a flowing well is not to be
seen in all the Region. In old oil do
ings, all of the good and most noto
rious wells were flowing wells. Many
of your renders will remember the Co
queue, Jersey and Reed wells--all ele
gant wells in their day, but now noth
lug hut dirty looking holes in the
ground. Millions of dollars they have
made for their proprietor, and they
ought to be respected now that they
are played out, and, in comparison to
what they once were, defunct. The
oil business now is quite a different ar
rangement to what it was in the earl
part of 1864 and 186.5. The business
is relayed to a science, to a certainty ;
no more guessing and speculating, but
hard working and close watching. A
man now can borrow money at sixty ,
lensc territory, pit down a hole,
awl be ready to pay his rent at mato
ruy with more certainty than in any
other husiness,providol he uses ordina
n discretion in hut location.
A visit to the Oil Region will con
voice any min that there is more man
cv being made there now than in any
other part of the United States. Some
few days ago. I found myself travelling
on the Allegheny It. It., passing Par
ker's landing, which is on the other
rude of the River from the hail Road.
This place sonic short time ago was
all the attraction, lint it is now rather
on the decline. It has lied its (lay and
midi,' largely to "the wealth of the
County. Passing along tip, Franklin
and as vicinity pre.iented itself. The
sole of the Bluff on ale way to Oil Car
just Mime Franklin presents a lively
appearance of new derricks, which Is a
nure nigh that there is a new oil (hel
met struck, and I was informed that
they were getting good wells, at crag
Trig twenty five barrels of heavy oil.
This Bluff was thought a few years
ago to tie worth nothing, a few wells
had been put down along the creek
across front the old mill in Franklin
and found worthless, but a lest inn
Bred yards Mealier struck the sand,and
now they are Witting down wells its

Several Rail Roads have their de

through the Ryad -through the Blood
and mu to the Tarr There we shop;
ideed, we have been stopping at a.
number or sintums, tor the valley of
the creek is one village its entire
length. We stop on the Tarr, on the
lease of our Half Moon company, arid
find that it's built up solid, there being
nothing upon it looking like an oil
-4441. We cross over on to the Story,
tnJ find that the Columbia company
have been putting down wells away op
on the hilly and the name on the Dal
zell. I his company, they say, went
straight 'thong all the time, putting
down Went; and paying dividends, and
is now fabulously wealthy. We final
ly arrive at Petrolnin Centre, which is
now the centre of the oil producing
territory ur the United States. I be
lieve that the vicinity of Petroleum
Centre has produced more oil than any
other place, and it is now producing
more than any of the other parts of
the Region The recent strike on the
James McCray farm, promises to be
one of the best in the county. The
MeGray farm ix J omt bock or what ix
known ax the Hyde Egberi finis ' and
adjoining it biv the rise of the lAN.
The Dalzerl company some years ago
attempted to put down a large hole,
ten by twerve,min the bill on the Phoni
er road, just along side the Ifyde R Eg
bert, and owned sonic territory above
on the same 1011. The hole was abet
men put (town a well on ll a Daizell
property, near the line of J ames M e .
GraYi wlurh rr,°"ii to be a big well.
Leases were 1111itiolintely taken on the
Jame 'i(LeCray, at one thousand
dot
lase bonus, and hall the oil on the
acre lease, and nom; an the territory
James McCray wished I() lease was
taken. It does not take as long now
as it did in 1864 arid 1865 to put down
a well; three or lour of these leases of
McCray's pros s ed to be extraordinary,
none of the werls..being less than a
hundred barrels, and are as high as
three hundred and fifty barrels per
day. There are now down arid pump
ing some eight weds on this farm,
primping about seventeen hundred bar
rels per day, and some forty more be
ing pot down as rapidly as possible.
Among the now producing wells is the
one called the General K. E. Lee; the
working interest, which is one-half of
the production, belongs td J. M. Kep
ler, of Philipsburg, and two other gen
tlemen of Petroleum Centre, who here
tofore have been very unfortunate in
the oil. This K. E. Lee well produced
at first about two hundred barrels, but
it is now producing one hundred and
forty to one hundred and fitly barrels
per day. J. M. Kepler and his part
ners arasputting%lown four other wells
in thin territory, and in a few days will
have one or two producing.
Early in the oil excitement in 1864,
our friend, Geo. M. Kelper, secured a
lease from .lances McCray of an acre
Sn this field where there are now so
many producing wells. George put
,
down ft bole at that time, but war
thought a little foolish fur going up on
the hill. After considerable expense
and much trouble, George Sureyeded
in getting is large vein of gas, coslrollg
that it interfered with pumping the
well, the gas filing 50 strong some
times as to run the succor rods up
through the top of the derrick, but
George did not get oil. The lease was
an old fashioned lease and had no for
feiture in it, and .4).0w it is among the
most valuable on the James MeCray
farm. Jacob M. Kepler and his par•
ners are now putting down three wells
on this acre lease. Tide land of James
McCray's, has a history.
Doctor Egbert, in 1864, they say,
offered MeCray three hundred thous
and dollars for his land, which kick('
ed some two hundred and severity
acres, but MeCiny refused to take it
People said Doctor Egbert was a. Tool
for making the offer and James Me-
Cray was a fool for not taking it. IL
is estimated now that McCrsy will no
afire et least three millions of dollar);
feta. this very land, and a calculation
is made that his income is five dollars
per minute at this time. If this is cor
reef, what will 1118 income be when all
01 the wells arc down and producing
.lames Mceray is a gentleman of from
45 to -17 years of age,

whiskers and beard slightly sprinkled
with white; and appears to he perfect
ly well qualified to takecareof Iris pre
sent manure. Ile, I believe, is a mem
ber of the Presbyterian church at Pe
troleum Centre, and is ready to do any
thing necessary towards forwarding the
interest of the church in a pecuniary
way. Very much to the disappoint

for the purpose of making money out
of the drippings from 1118 fat

in discreet in his transartions and mod
est and moderate in his wants, looking
and tutting as unlike a millionaire as
one could imagine Altogether he ap
pears to be just the man to have 111011-
ey, and who will Maki' a substantial
use of his good fortune, and 1101, waive
it in foolish investments to amuse him
self or a set of hangers on who follow
in the wake of a wealthy 1111111. WII
ham Met brother of James,owns
the land adjoining As yet there have
been no great strikes on the land of
McCray. James Met and
William are both Democrats, which
may be one reason why they are en
Bpeelally favored with good fortune;
'.Vellum Met toting worth some
two hundred thousand.
The experience and flumes of several
years in the oil region liar quite
pit the old fashioned way of putting
down wells, and, indeed, the whole sys
tern. Now, after a lease is secured, a
hole is put down to the solid rock like
an ordinary water well for it cominctor
pipe, then the earth is filled trLarolind
this pipe. 'rile derrick being up, tools
weighing 1,500 pounds are put down
and the hole is put down rapidly for
about 325 ft. about R inches in divine
ter Then the hole is sand lumped
and a casing in put down on the rock,
which is called the montain said.
This easing is let down and then haul
ed up a few inches and let drop, no
dolt it fits at the bottom water fight or
nearly so; the sand pump is then run
down and twenty five or thirty feet of
water in taken out of this casing; then
the heavy tools are put down again,
and the whole — run down sonic fire
hundred feet. The hole now, after be
mg cleared of the borings, is rea r
the tubing. The hole is/ putn
through what oil men call the third
said, and some ten or fifteen feet be
low it. This third sand is a very im
portant feature to oil men, as it has
been ascertained that where it is very
deep or thick that the wells are larger
arid more likelr to last. This white
sand 14 WO It rock but a mixture of
pebbles and sand, running doyen from
loathe size ofa pen to the ordinary
sand and is an white as pewter sand.
Drillers nay the upper surface is often
very bard. This third sand is sonic
forty feet thick on the James MeCray.
