PLAYING OUT. We Bad Ibe following very aeoeible ar tide on tba altnatlon In tbe lower oil field, In the Peteraburg Progress The Progresa has tbe oorrect view of Ibe atate of the oil trade thereabout! aod wa commend it to tbe pert naat of our oil men: Tb remarkable reaction which bai taken place In tbe Modoc district ii a eubjeot of UiaOlmoit Importance to producer!. Tbe dwindling down of tbe great flowing wella to a merely payiog production within two or three dayr, baa had a moat beneficial ;ei- feot upon Ibe market, aod baa advanced oil from 80 oenia on the can to $1.10. It ap pear thai tb Modoc district la being Hood ed by the aall water, which, gaining aoceaa to tbe poroui rock, completely kills all flowing, and greatly reduce all pumping wall. It I fortunate Ibat tbit baa oc curred, aod wa only hope tbat It will not eod witb Modoc, but will extend over tbe entire lower oil field. Operator! there need a leuoo. They are in a fair way io get it. Tb apprebeaaiont expressed by opera tort below have a musical tinkle fur legs lortuoale friendt in less productive distrlots It Is greatly to be regretted that a casb builoesi bai not been done by those who have aupplled tbe producers in tbe Greece City field witb machinery, tubing, &0., &o., for Ibey will moat certainly prove to be toe moat beavieat losers. Tbe whole region is twarmlog witb dead beats wbo get what credit tbey chose limply by personating honest men. Bill Poker goes Io an engioe ag't lays, "1 am a member of tbe firm Hogg Sneak A Co., 1 want two engiot, ninety d lya ample securiliet wealthy firm re source! unbounded capital eaougb to drill twenty well! at $10,000 a dry bole." So be gelt bii eogloet. Tbe remaining tools ma chinery, Ac, be gets in a ilmilar manner, wben two to one be begged the tobacco be carrin io bit cheek, and got credit for bla ttura clothes. We have seen all tbli In our own district, and we kaow just bow luob characters operate, tbut, happily we are rid of tbe greal herd of rascals. who make 'l a common piaot Ice to fleece their oredllori aod business bai settled into a legitimate channel Just at soon at people, every olait of business men, come down to a strictly caah business and nothing tin; then we may begin to talk of belter times of a local fluaocial system wblcb will not be subject to every wind toat blow. It would naturally be luppoaed tbat men would be wiling to leim something after witnessing ibe disaster! produced by Ibe rottoo credit system of Ibe Naw York books, dozem ol which, although rotleu to tbe core, were yel io a flourishing condition when com pared witb Ibe pioducers in Ibe Butler die trlct. Men suppose tbat because tbey sell an Immense amount of goods ibey are mak ing money; io Ibey would if Ibey could get all tbat ii due them, but just here is where lb difficulty lies; they find it impossible to dolble, even when driven to tbe wall, and tbe result is that tbe Sheriff baa bis bands full.
