rn end of the field, and the oillighter, though in all parts of the field the product is a heavy oil. Thel)roduction per day per well is very small, even in the best wells, prob-ably owing to the excessive crowding. Oil is produced from incoherentsand interstratified with clay, and many of the wells pump consider-able sand and water. Owing to the location of the field in the midst of a large city, thereare no pipe-lines of any length, nor do the railroads touch the field• lirectly at any point. The oil is used locally, principally for fuel, andis delivered by tank wagon. The greater part of the wells in the City field are pumped on thejack, the wells of several owners often being handled from one power. STATISTICS. (December lU, liWH.)

The geological formation is of Middle Neocene age, and has the formof a flat anticline, though somewhat broken. At the western end thesands approach tlie surface, some wells here being as little as 300 feetin depth; still farther west the sands crop. At the eastern end thegreatest depth is some 1500 feet, the average being one or two hundredfeet less; this end of the field is cut off abruptly, ai)parently by a fault.The production is greater at the eastern end of the tield, and the oillighter, though in all parts of
