With The Oil Still Flows The Kaistedt oil weP, which the Ad- vance described Uat v eek, t-uW continue* to produce oil iu considerable >|uantity, and many < f tl e vil'agers have samples Ixitlled up for inspection, but we have seen nothing of lie excitement credited to u i by the Shelburiie Kree Press ot last week. The oil is there, but how it gut there and where it caine from are still a mystery. List week Mr. Kar.tcdt took some of the oil lo Toronto and submitted it 'o the Buretu of Mines. The olhciaU there said it w:ui a good sample of high speoilic giavily. but would not believe that ii came out of an oidin.iry well. They said it w»s imposKible lo believe that it w»s Ijltered.from any place <.f storage ;i.-> it would be pure coal oil if it aere, und Ihi.s oil has a considerable ((uantity <>! gasoline in it, also other solid subs'ances sucH as is found in ordinary petroleum before rcbning. They also admitted thai if the oil had been poured into the well it would cuiue out as ordinary retined oil. which this is unlike, being of a cloudy amber color. They have no theory as to its origin, but admit the possibility that It may have found vent through a ruck cevice . Some yeai-s HBO a wel! wa.s drilled on the McKaveny farm about »i.\ miles ea.s of this viliane in a search for coal oi'. The .{overnniout report aniouuced -i small nuaiiliiy of petroleum for this well, but i.ot in oomiui tJial ({uantities.
