  There 
  has 
  been 
  little 
  change 
  in 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  petroleum 
  

   for 
  several 
  years 
  past, 
  though 
  the 
  drilling 
  of 
  new 
  wells 
  is 
  not 
  

   so 
  actively 
  prosecuted 
  as 
  formerly; 
  the 
  maintenance 
  of 
  the 
  out- 
  

   put 
  at 
  a 
  nearly 
  constant 
  level 
  may 
  be 
  ascribed 
  in 
  a 
  large 
  degree 
  

   to 
  the 
  relative 
  permanency 
  of 
  the 
  pools. 
  Practically 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  

   production 
  is 
  obtained 
  by 
  pumping. 
  By 
  using 
  gas 
  engines 
  which 
  

   are 
  fed 
  by 
  the 
  natural 
  gas 
  that 
  accompanies 
  the 
  petroleum 
  the 
  

   pumps 
  can 
  be 
  worked 
  at 
  small 
  expense 
  and 
  wells 
  yielding 
  less 
  

   than 
  a 
  barrel 
  a 
  day 
  are 
  profitable. 
  The 
  product 
  is 
  transported 
  

   to 
  the 
  refineries 
  by 
  pipe 
  lines. 
  The 
  following 
  companies 
  handle 
  

   practically 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  output 
  within 
  the 
  State 
  : 
  The 
  Allegany 
  

   Pipe 
  Line 
  Co., 
  Columbia 
  Pipe

  Co., 
  Union 
  Pipe

  Co., 
  

   and 
  Fords 
  Brook 
  Pipe 
  Line 
  Co., 
  all 
  of 
  Wellsville; 
  Vacuum 
  Oil 
  

   Co., 
  of 
  Rochester, 
  and 
  the 
  Tide 
  Water 
  Pipe 
  Co., 
  Limited, 
  of 
  

   Bradford, 
  Pa. 
  

  

  The 
  output 
  of 
  petroleum 
  in 
  1907 
  amounted 
  to 
  1,052,324 
  barrels, 
  

   as 
  compared 
  with 
  1,043,088 
  barrels 
  in 
  the 
  preceding 
  year. 
  The 
  

   following 
  table 
  shows 
  the 
  total 
  for 
  each 
  year 
  since 
  1891. 
  The 
  

   statistics 
  subsequent 
  to 
  1903 
  have 
  been 
  compiled 
  from 
  the 
  re- 
  

   ceipts 
  of 
  oil 
  reported 
  by 
  the 
  companies 
  above 
  mentioned, 
  while 
  

   the 
  others 
  are

  Re-
