There Is a broad basin extending from the Clarion county nnti-clioal axis northward as far as Lake Erie, In which tbe priacipaj oil deposits bare been found. This anti clinal axis, or line of upheaval runs . close to the towns of Hldgeway and Kiltan nlng, and the principal Loriocs have been made west of this, between Brady's Bend and the latter named town. There is anoth er valley, between tbla Clarion county anti. clinal axis and a parallel lino of upheaval running close to Blairsvtlle, call the Chest nut Iiidge anti clinal whete In many old salt well?, oil has oftrn been found. East of this Chestnut Bridge anti-clinal no oil has yet made its appearance. Tbe region a which it occurs is therefore so limftad as to render inexcusable the neglect which has been shown by the Slate to iti Investiga tions. At tbe rirsent time there is but one man in the State of Pennsylvania who may be said to be any authority 00 tbe question of cc.al oil formation. He has. obtained bis Information entirety through hia' own Indi vidual exertion., and though 110 belter in formation is to be b8d at present, this Is but meagre n comparison to that wblcb hould bo ia posseeaioa ot ever? interested capitalist in tbe United States. The ft w facts which seem to be known are as ful- Tl-o organic remains from which this oil seems to have been divided ore most proba bly vegetable (foscil fucboid sea weed with little or no animul matter connected with them.) This remark sppliet to the Venango county wells, and thoe this side of Lake Erie; for the Canada coal oil, con nected as it seems to be with the black slates of the lower Devonian, . appears lo be of great age, and ia probably composed of animal remains. Tbe oil occur in two ways. First, in horizontal deposits in the grave aud sand rocks, tbe strut of its lodg ment being 200 feet or ro apart; and second in great vertical. figures or cracks Oiled from these horzmt il resorvoirs. Tbe first man ner cf occurrence is Connected with the original deposition of the material by the alt water, the laitnr with tbn crau41u.t ! tbe beds by sbrinkage from dying, aud per haps somewhat assisted by tbe rising ol great lines of tuk from bnlow. An error nttribulable to tbe -cot, fused urperance nl tbe surface rocks Is freely indulged In by tbe people ol this region, w ho' consider th it lue originally dt 1 (sited strata must have been very much. illstiiibea. This is a a great mistake. The strata are siagnlaily undisturbed, and this fact has an iu-puiti.nl bearing on the question of the luture sup ply of coal oil. The beds i.f sand-rocks or gravel, in which the M has been deposited, appears to have been formed by uo under current ol a Devonian ocean, and to have furnished good lodging places for tbe oil. On the re treat of the sea a cjnslderablo thickness of shales has been added by rivers, and over tbeso shaks unulbcr two hundred feet ot Sand, becoming coarser from below upwards, uatil It becomes a gravel. On tbe tup ol this gravel is a bard silicious deposit upon which the miners tools dancu for hours often, without penetrating it; but once tbey get through ihs deposit, tbe oil actually spurts up. This deposite resembles from its texture and hardness, the burr-atone, with wLicU tbe Ohio miir-stODo'is identical. This Is pretty Ojuch all that Is known cf the general occurrence Of coal oil. . With thousands f wells there are no rell able data of (he strata be red through. The method for the vertical craclo in ttio topo graphical lucatiou of every well, with a de sciiptionol its yield, wblcb would establish tbe direction of the cracks in which tbe rich -est deposits mint ever bo found. This has been done in a few isolated lubtucces by in dividuals, but only of single proprieties or creek bottoms. The few instances in wbicu two wells huv been sunk C'osj together should be carefully selected and Studied, In o:der to gut at the dip of the craek. Business is getting lively on tbe Smith firm. Leases are eagerly, sought for, and t ure are several new rigs going up. Tbe old wells on the McBride f irm bold about the same, and tha hauling of lumber for new rigs baa commenced.
