STEINHART That Oily Proposition It has been pretty veil demonstrated that the coal oil coming into Mr. Ksr- stedt's well is merely * filtratioii from some surface supply and does not come from tha bowels of mother earth. The othcial aiialy.is of this oil has been le- ceived and shows that it is 8M per eeot. pure coal oil and 11 per cent, paraline. .\ftor giving Hgures that are as Greek to the lav mind the report goes ou to say : "The higher fractions were slightly colored and the residue a beaver brown but not at all tarry. This oil 1 as none of the characteristic- o' an ordinary crude oil, giving no r;tsoUne products or tar. The bulk of tho n a'erial distilling be- tween 8i> and 15.1 degrees under the abi<ve mentioned pressure woul i lead one to believe that this is an oil closely resem''lin« kerosene wiih some of the frections just above this." It is pretty dithcult to believo lh«t such a quantity as has ct>me ihrouuk this well could be caused by losses from some 5t;>ck in town. On Thursday last Mr. Kirstedt -lipped seven gallons of ihe pure oil out of the well, but ?ioco then the sup >ly hfs diminished. Tliere are those who ren.omber ihit when the late R. Trimble was in busi- ness hero he lost large ijuantities of oil through not having proper storage facili- ties, but it IS over thirty years since this ' i)ccurred. A well owned by Henry Wil- son, bUcksmiih, near the old Irinible { stttre'hottse, his a decided coal oily smell j and has not been usetl foryoiurs for that ' reason. The ground around when* tae I old storehouie sto.^d i.s also saturated for ' several feot down. The pua K- still is h i puxsle, however, for Mr. Kaistodt'a well was dug forty years ago and was fust c'ass drinking water until this sumrorr. . How is it that only after this xrvat lapse of time has the oil tiheied thr.mgh lo his Well, and in aoc'i quantities' Tha* is a problem for the Ke<.i!ogiBtg to auiv«.
