what result we we're unable to learn.
1t is a pretty well settled fact in the
minds Of the people that this we'll is q
duster however, that does not neces
sarily make it SO, and it may yet come
to the fore as a producer.
A bit was lost ia the Walters farm
well last week, which stopped opera
tion for a few days, but they succeeded
in getting it out on Saturday and
have since been drilling. They must
be down at least 1900 feet, and will
doubtless be ready to bring it in the
first or middle of next week. 1t is
still gassing as strongly as ever, and
there is talk of utilizing it for light
ing and heating purposes by laying
pipes to this place.
The operators have had considera-
BILE trouble in getting their machinery
to the Tubbs Run well, having very
steep hill TO climb, but they will no
doubt be ready to commence some
time next week.
From Mondays Derrick we take
the following:
COOPER TRACT.
Shannon No. 8, on division 8 Of the
Cooper tract, was drilled into the sand
Saturday and is dry. This veil is 10.
Gated west Of Anchors No. II, which
was fair producer, and between it
and the Shannon producers, Nos. 1
and 2. This well found a large vein
of gas in the second sand, which none
of the other wells in that vicinity
did.-Anchor's & No. u, south of theiI
No. l producer and west of their No
Is, is showing for a light well.-An
chor No. 8, south of Clark & Foster
producer on 2,735, was making tel
barrels an hour Saturday afternoon.
Reno No 2, which was shot a few
weeks ago, had another dose of nitrt
glycerine given it on Friday. 1t hac
declined to fifty five barrels, and afte
ten quart shot had been exploded i
made IVA barrels the following twenty
four hours.-Reno No. 1, the larges
well ever struck in the Cooper trac
district, was shot Friday. 1t mad
ninety.two barrels in response to tb
explosion. A light shot was used
Nine wells have been completed in tn
Cooper tract district. These are An
chor Oil Company's Nos. A, 5, 8, an
IL; Syndicate No. Forest No.
Shannon No. s, L. A. Brenneman {
Co.'S Nos. . and 3. One of these is dr.
and another nearly sell. B. Porter
second sand well, on 2,S77, will b
t opened this week.
. BALLTOwN.
As mentioned in the Derrick specia
; above, the Porcupine No. is fowin
: at the rate of seventeen barrels a
} hour, when they are drilling. The
s have been working at the plug for fiN
! days without being able to drill it ou
-Grandin No. 6 is making / barre
an hour.-Welsh is making 200 barre
D a day.-The total production Of th
: Balltown district Saturday, from 81
4. weells, was 1 ,040 barrels. Murphy
o Co.'S we'll, on 3,133, ia expected
}, strike the sand to-day, Monday. 1t
! located IN advance of the Welsh al
e Grandin No. 6, and from its positiC
k will be of Importance in determine
r connection between the Grandin po
: and the Porcupine wells.
0 The Murphy above referred to
d :he Derrick tapped the sand Mond'
e afternoon and made a flow of sew,
o minutes, during which itput five inch
i in 600. barrel tank. This would
g equal to about 10 barrels pei. hour. tt
+ Welsh well is no doubt good for A
a barrels a day.
d. w. Clark's well, on 4795, will
ready to bring in tomorrow afterno
:, if they have no bad luck. The stri
. ing of the Murphy on 1888 establish
the fact almost beyond doubt th
! the Clark well will be a good one.
