When this well was first tested, after a few days of pumping, it showed 

 very well, giving considerable gas and throwing at intervals a full pipe of 

 oil. At tins time an accident occurred, fastening the working valve so as 

 to necessitate the drawing of the tubing. As the well was not cased at 

 this time it sremed to he injured very much by the letting in of the water, 

 and never agaiu^made so good a show as at first.
