will also continue tba manufacture at Fair

building a third factory in this vicioity,but
it will be sufficiently isolated from Titus

greatly diminish tba risks of less to Ibe

'Tbete was a rumor m the streets to-fl

in? yesterday, it was ranored at the rate of
1000 barrels per day. The well is cn a

started to effect tbo oil market. From
several operators who are ''poid" on the

Puch is the Innstt'sse cf tbo relrolenm
Cec'.re S 'CorJ. it It also the language of
nearly every paper In that region -.s welf at
the wish of many ef its inbatiitvnls. If the
Meldren well is a myth, we would likb to
know how It comes that, on Friday morn
ing of last week two days aad a half alter
tl,tt well was struck, the owners of '.bis well
oil a id dr-livarsd 200O brrnls of oil.
aud bad 00 barrels yet in lank. Does
that look n)Jt:.1cl! If t!i? Jaiues welt
with its bunured barrels a day, tbo Jen
nings well witb its hundred barrels a day
are tnytbe, we have only to say that tbey
are the moat tangible myth, we have ever
teen. If the Jurae well iu thirty days told
$9,500 worth ol oil and bad 400 barrels yet
ia tank, duu't you think that either "01) ta''
should be Chandra to menn soinotbiuz sub
stantial, or oil itself it only a conception of
diseased imagination
' Now, Mr. Record, we bnve the blgeit
wells in tbo country; and numbers of lemon
being taken, the derricks that are coins up
00 Ibis field, give incontrstible evidence oF
territory that puts to blush all otber locali
ties, and only equaled by the great wells of
rttnole. whoso glory has vanquished. jast
Brady Independent.
By the above it wl'.l be seen that the In
dependent man is getting riled up some
what. That the wslls- cn Armatrong Run
have flowed oil we do not deny, but that
tbey have flowed the vnst amounts er day
asset dowc by tbe Independent and the
correspondent of tbe Pittsburgh Commer
cial, we have good authority for stating
is not tbe caae, tbatjis If the own
ers of tbe wells tbemtelvet are to be taken
for authority. If the Independent man is
at all mated in oil matters be should kuow
very well that tbe published account of such
a large pioductiou while it may beue-
Ct a few p arties interested in giving out
leases or owuicg territory in tbe neighbor
hood, results in an slmoet incalculable
injury to tbe entire region by knocking tbe
''bottom out" of tbe oil mantel, upon which
the eotire business of tbo oil region baa its
foundation, as when tbe market is dull
every other business differs In proportion.
To show that tba Independent mtu is in
error in many respects wo give a few
facts in regard to Arinttroug Run which
we have from the contactor who drilled
the Walker well and from the owners them
salves :
I East Bradt, Nov. 10, 18-70.
sin. Editor Walker well is reporied
by the Independent as flowing 250 barrels
dally till Ibe "bottom was punched out."
The fact is the well never flowed 250 bar
rels all its production -together. It is stat
ed as having been completed in April,
whereas the first blow was struck by the
drill May 23d, 1870; the latt Sept. 21st,
1870. Tbis item is about a fair specimen
of tbe reports that get into the Independent
and Pittsburgh Commercial. On Satur
day, Nov. 12 lb, I have it Irom men inter
ested In keeping the production as high as
consistent (on paper) that tbe Jennings
well No. 2 was yielding 140 barrels a day
and falling off every day.
Again in bis report of the depth of wells
he puts Soarsdaie 1,026 feet, while- its true
depth was 1,250 leet, only 225 feet out of
tbe way.
These particular instances are only no
ticed ta sbow tbe public what small relia
bility tbere is ia reports Irom that quar
ter.

N. B. 1
Tba above ara but specimens of ibe
"facts" publish ed in tbe Independent and
Pittsburgh Commercial. We shall contin
ue to give correct reports ot this second
Pttbole(!) from ti me to lime as occasion
may require.' Let tbe Independent man
continue to "puffup" tbe territory as loug
as bo gets well paid for it, but let him
place tbe produotien as near sorrect as pos
slbte and not send broad cast reports tend
log to mislead tbe publio aaljajurj t.io o I
