Those who have gathered atatis tics aver that the first eight wells of Modoc produced score than the eutiro district Is do ing to-day. To form a general idea of the rapidity wilb which fie wells are falliug off, ejnraples are given ol all the large wells, and 11)0:1 wells which at first went 1,000 barrnls are now doing scarcely 200. On Wedueeday last Mr. Fux, proprietor of tbe Danville rolling mill, paid all bis workmen their wages in gold. The Intel legHucer says tbat to many of tbe young men it was the Art', payment they bad ever re ceived in the precious metal, and they looked upon it with pleasure and felt In C'ined to retain It as a keepsake. Fully two-thirds of tbe wells in this dis trict are either shut down or only pumping by heads. It Is vary depressing on oue to para from well to well where all was life and activity a few months ago, and witness the total des-rtion of wells which were con sidered paying before oil could be bought for half a gallon of molasses a barrel. Tbe amount ol capital invested in this, (tbe third) district, and now wholly inoperative from tbe low price of oil, not even returning the interest, we estimate at one oiilllion four hundred thousand dollars ($1,400,000; reckooing $1000 as the average cost per well. The monthly interest alone upon this amount to tbe people ol tbe district is four teen thousand dollars per month, at tbe usual interest of one per cent a month, or about five hundred dollars a day. Much ol tba money thus invested will prove a total ioes, since tbe wells will bo ruined by standing for long a time. These larg amounts will not, however compare with tbe reckless manner in which foolhardy op erators in tbe Butler district are sinking money, not their own, by any means, bi.t tbe people's. A prominent operator with whom we have conversed, and who is thoroughly acquainted wttb the lower coun try, estimates that on an average there is one dry hole a day sunk in tbat regioa, in volving a total loss of at least eiht tbous and dollars Petersburg Progress.
