To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The two wells are located about thirty miles, measured in a straight line, from Pittsburgh. Their depth is about 1600 feet down to the fourth sand stratum so well known, at least by name, to those engaged in petroleum produc- tion. The Burns well it is believed has never yielded oil, but the Delameter, first carried to the third sand layer, was a petroleum well at 1600 feet ; sunk afterwards to the fourth stratum, it gave gas at such a pressure that the tools of about 1760 pounds weight might b...e withdrawn by hand.
Each well is 5| inches in diameter.
The Delameter well is the more remarkable. It pro- duces nearly double the quantity of gas of the Burns, and furnishes light and fuel to the entire neighborhood, includ- Digitized by Google 232 A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON PETROLEUM.
ing the village of Saint Joe. It is situated in a valley sur- rounded by high mountains, which reflect and concentrate the light of the ignited gas. Many conduits start from the well: one leads the gas directly to the cylinder of a power- ful motor, which, by its pressure alone, acquires a prodig- ious velocity, and if the gas at the exhaust of this be lit, an immense flame is produced.
