in this county, is being vigorously
puahed at present, bute what depth
they have reached is only known to
the owners and those directly inter-
ested, and they don't propose to give
it away" at present. If they succeed
in making mystery out of it as good
as the one on 646 we'll be satisfied to
wait until they get ready to open it.
Grove, Hart & Go. have rig nearly
completed for another well at Beaver
Valley, near the one now drilling at
that place. They will rattle it down
to the sand as fast as Providence will
allow.
From Mondays Derrick we Gull the
following interesting oil news:
The latest news received Saturday
night from the Cadwallader we'll, on
lot 635, was that it was flowing as
strong as ever. Its production was
estimated at 1900 and 1000 barrels.
For six hours on Saturday it flowed
steadily without q break. From six
o'clock Friday night until eleven
o'clock Saturday, it flowed seventy
barrels an hour, or at rate Of $50
barrels day. 1t filled 500 barrels
tank $50 tank, and also put 120 bar
rels into 600 barrel tank from the
time it commenced flowing Friday
afternoon at three o'clock until seven
o'clock Saturday morning. A dispatch
received from Garfield Saturday after.
noon, said it was flowing at the rate of
1,500 barrels. The company intends
drilling this well through the sand if
possible, to ascertain what the depth
Of the rock is, and how deep oil is to
be found in it. Their other we'll on
lot CAT ia still shut down on top of the
sand.
On Saturday the pipe line was TAX
ing oil away from ths Murphy tanks
at the rate of between forty and fifty
barrels an hour, aud the we'll was re.
ported gaining on it. Mr.. Murphy
went to the we'll on Saturday but did
not start the drill, although he had
intended to do 80. He probably
thought the we'll was crowding the
pipe line and tank builders hard
enough in its present condition with
out stirring it up any more. AT pres
ent the two gushers on 635 and 619
are having gO-as'yOm-pleass race for
the biggest production.
During the present week four new
wells in Cherry Grove district will
attract the attention of oilmsn, besides
those now in the sand and flowing.
The first of these will be j. A. Cad
wallader & Co.'S on lot CAT, which is
now shnt down on top of the sand.
Workmen are putting up two 1900
tanks here, and it will probably be
opened at an early date. The Ma.
hoOpany oil company'S, lot GIL, the
owners say, will be unplugged next
Wednesday. Lot $50, j. A. Cadwal.
lader & Co., are drilling a well near
the southwestern corner, which should
be in the sand this week if the drillers
push work lively and have no bad
luck. This we'll is located three quar-.
ters of a mile southwest of the mystery
on 646. The Uuion oil companys drill
ing well on lot 633, should be near the
sand. The drill was started at this
venture May 10th, and if it had been
speedily pushed would have been heard
before this. The we'll is located 800
rods northwest of GAG. 1t is under
stood to be in the hands of other par
ties now, and that drilling has been
suspended for some time.
Yesterdays Derrick: One report
this morning was that the Murphy was
flowing 400 barrels, the mystery 500
and the Cadwsllader 1900 barrels.

1900 barrel rate, and the mystery may
be estimated from 500 to 800 barrels.
With these figures the total daily pro.
