Excerpt from The Petroleum Monthly, Vol. 1: Devoted to the Interests of the Oil Business, August, 1871Mr. Avery is a graduate of Cornell University, and an old-time pupil of Prof. Alex. Winchell, at the University, of Michigan, a gentleman of high literary culture as well as scientific acquirements, and a most companionable fellow for a' that.Under the guidance of Mr. Blakeslee, the efficient superintendent of development, we visited Mr. Angell's wells at this place, and after noting their peculiar location, we confess to having our ideas of the belt theory enlarged most astonishingly. Let the reader imagine himself in our position: standing upon the top of a seventy-two feet derrick upon the top of Mount Hope - when you go inquire for No. 1, Buffalo Lease - one gets a view from this elevation which well repays the labor of climbing a derrick ladder.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
