Balltown seems to be attracting
the bulk of attention now a days
among oil men. The Welsh we'll was
opened Monday, and although not as
large as expected is still fair sized
producer, it having opened up at the
rate of 1000 berrels day. This we'll
is principally owned by James Welsh
whom we ase pleased to state, will
reap a nice fortune from his interests
The Grandin q Kelly No. 6 was ex-
pecting to reach the sand yesterday y
and will be shortly followed by the
Murphy, Oh 3,133. Grandin No. 6 is
eighty rods east and little north If
the Grandin No. 3, and is s,uth. west
of the Welsh about forty rods. Both
of these wells are expected to be gusb.
ers of the regulation size, especially
the Grandin q Kelly. P. S.-Gran-
din No. 6 is in, and reported to be
good for 1900 barrels day.
COOPER TRACT
Yesterdays Derrick furnished the fol.
lowing news from the Cooper district !:
"Anchor Oil Company's No. 9 struck
the third sand yesterday. 1t made
tour flows between 2 o'clock in the
morning and 7 a. M. The location of
this well is directly south of Clark q
Fosters third sand producer on tract
2,736. They are still fishing at the
same company's No, 13. Their No. 4
is doing 100 barrels. 1t has not yet
been tubed, and they are engaged in
cleaning out.-Shannon No. 8, on
division 8 of the Cooper tract, struck
large gas vein in the second sand
last week. This we'll is located be
tween the Anchors No. IA and the
Shannon No. 3 dry hole on the same
division, neither of which got the gas.
1t is only another proof of the very
spotted condition Of this territory.
The formation in the Cooper tract dis.
trict is SO broken that the record IF
one we'll is no guide to the driller on
the next well, no matter bow near the
two may bel. A. Breuneman &
Co.'S No. 2 was flowing at the rate Of
150 barrels Yesterday. L. A. Brenne.
man q Co.'S No. 8 will strike the sand
to morrow. 1t is located between Nos.
l aud q Their No. 5 is expected in
Friday. No. B is spuddipg; rig is
up for No. 6, and rig building for
No. Z. The last three wells are located
west of their No. l."
The Tionesta Oil Co.'S No. 2 Bea.
yer Valley, commenced operations last
Wednesday. This venture is located
on tract 5218 near Mr.. Braces mill.
Of course the company expects to
strike it this time, and it is hoped it
may,
The we'll on the Walters farm is
down between 400 and 1900 feet,
with still strong vein OF gas. 1t
will doubtless be ready to bring in by
the latter part of this or the first Of
next week.
The Wolcott well near Nebraska,
is being drilled into the sand this week.
This we'll has lain idle so long that il
had almost dropped out of notice.
What its prospects are for producer
cannot be told at this writing, but the
general impression is that it will not
bust the market much.
TIE rig.stuff for the Tubbs Run we'll
is all on the ground, and the machine
ry will be there also when the rig is
ready. A $50. barrel tank has been
set, evidincing that the owners expect
to make strike. This we'll will be
put down with all possible haste, and
as soon as this one is fairly under way
another rig will be put up on the same
tract. The parties mean to give it a
fair test.
