I Oil NOTES


Oil.matters have been rather quiet
in Forest county during the past week
The Derrick yesterday morning con-
tainod the following report fresh from
the upper end of the county:
Syndicate No. 2, on the Cooper
tract, was drilled deeper to-day, and
this afternoon was making eighteen
barrels an hour.
Herrck No. 3 was flowing at the
rate Of $50 barrels to-day.
Reno No. 4 was IN the sand this
forenoon aud showing fer 125 barrel
well. It's location is west of No. 3.
1t is doubtful if Welsh's No. 2, or
the Balltown Oil Co.'s No. Z can be
completed this week. They are work
ing slowly at them.
The Dutch Oil Co.'s well on 1921
is on top Of the sand, and may be com.
pleted any time. 1t is located little
south Of the line between the Porcupine
No. 1 and the Grandin No. 8, and
from its situation a good we'll may be
anticipated. The well was at first To-
Gated to be on the Porcupine lease,
but a later survey showed it was over
the line on the Balltown Oil Co.'S
property.
Porcupine Oil Company bave four
rigs up on 3,194. One of these is 10.
Gated 200 feet south of the Gartlan
well, and on the sixty.two degree line.
This will be drilled, but the others will
not until Mr.. Murphy is better salts.
fed with the prospects of the territory.
Reliable parties report that the
Hoodoo Oil Company's well, Oh tract
1868, Forest County, is completed
and dry. The only showing of oil
was obtained in a sand at level of
the Cherry Grove rock. There was a
small amount Of oil ia it, aud the well
will probably be shot at that point
before being abandoned.
This failure leaves only four wildcat
wells Ia the middle field. These are
Vandergrift & Miller's, on lot 74O,
Warren county; Kepler q Dufur's,
near Salmon creek; Henry Whitney's
Oh Tubbs Run, Gorth OF Tionesta, and
Tionesta Oil ComPany's at Braces
Mills, between Hickory aud Balltown.
There has been no time for two years
when there were so few wildcat drill.
ing wells as now. Numerous failures
in Forest county have disgusted the
wilcat operator, and he scarcely knows
where to start the drill.
The production of the Cooper tract
yesterday from sixty.three wells was
1852 barrels. The production Of the
thirteen producing wells at Balltown
is l, LAC barrels. The Cooper tract
production includes that Of the new
wells, Syndicate No. aud Rerrick
No. 8, besides the increase caused by
the use of nitro-glycerine in the Reno
No. 1, and the Patterson No. 3.

abundant crop and also for the great
er outlay for seed.
AS regards the latter point, it must
be observed that one bushel of home
grown seed, containing at least fifty
per cent. of impurities, foul weed
seeds and seed having absolutely lost
its vitality, bushel Of such seed in
reality costs the farmer So, and even
the remaining fifty per cent. of ap-
parently good seed does not represent
a drst-class seed as regards germinat-
ing power, whereas bushel Of Dutch
faxseed, which is absolutely pure and
nearly one hundred per cent of which
will germinate, will not cost much
more, and offer the certainty, if care
full cultivation be joined to it, of a
highly remuneratiye crop.
